The Silent Majority

You are aware what a "quantum leap" is, right?

Electrons are still elementary particles... (sorry, had to ) *I call it the "Fusion Constant." OT: Why does it matter? as long as we send probes to it and learn more about it, I don't care what you call it.

Quite a simple question, with the ISS reaching the end of its lifetime, what shall we do with it? The plans I've seen/read are: 1. Controlled deorbit 2. Reboost, delaying the reentry 3. Attaching a VASMIR/similar propulsion system and sending it to Dun... MARS (Wikipedia, no idea of the feasibility, though I wouldn't count on it) 4. Gradual disassemble What do you guys think we should do, and how? (not just these options, any you can think of)

Nope, for one simple reason, we are primitive, as any aliens with the technology to reach us are so far ahead that we wouldn't stand a chance. If the aliens are similar enough to us, they will come and conquer us, and there is nothing, at this point, that we can do. On the other hand, aliens are, well, aliens, we probably won't understand their motives, or them at all. So, nope, for our own survival. If we can't understand them, we can't fight them, if we can't fight, we can't survive. I hope as much as any other that these life forms would be peaceful, or at least so different that nothing would provoke either species, but we cannot take the risk, I for one, would rather be reasonably spread out that one event could not wipe us out before we initiate contact.

Greetings fellow carbon (I presume) based life form. Congrats on finding this game. I can't say much about the creative part (not my strong point), but concerning Eve, do not try to land and return. Seriously, its the most difficult planet to return from (besides maybe Tylo (mun...) or Moho). Its good to start for transfers though. Try Alexmoon's planner, its a good start. Also, try the suggestions forum for those last 3 items. Anyway i've rambled enough, and probably been ninja'd. Have a wonderful time. EDIT: Try Olex's planner first, It's a bit more intuitive. Also, YAY, not ninja'd

I was under the impression that they would not be dunked in seawater, all the other things apply though. Does the V2 use parachutes? EDIT: found it, the V2 has a backup system parachute system. So the parachute will probably also not be blown out. Also, according to Wikipedia, they will be not refurbished until after being flown again multiple times.

Well, it was yesterday, but I turned to the dark side, I installed FAR, B9, Tac, DRE, ATM, and Engineer. Thinking of putting the entire RO pack in there. I don't consider it cheating, i'm making the game harder (well except for engineer, but I was doing all of the calculations with my python programs anyway) It's a single player game anyway.

I assume the gas giant moon is a joke. The best part about it being habitable is that if it is, we can observe the life forms and they can't get too us. (I read somewhere, I can't remember now, that if the Earth had 90% of the gravity it does now, most of our rockets would be ssto's. (I can't confirm it though and do NOT feel like doing the math right now))

I'd argue that the computers need to process it, we need to have the skills and understanding of the system to find it. OT No, we do not need computers to survive, BUT, we do need computers to live a post-modern lifestyle. (for simplicity, I'm counting since the birth of the smartphone as post-modern)

I doubt it, I'd also prefer it if qualified people were the first on Mars (no offense to those applying, I know a couple on the forum have). On the other hand, if its what gets us there...

I'd be up for this, If I get kmp. Isn't there a better mod out there now though? (I.E. less crashes) I can't remember the name right now.

This legitimately made me laugh, thanks.

Yeah, sorry but Infinity/Infinity = Undefined, not 1 Either way, neither exists (nor can it), so the universe does not exist. Can I have a cookie?

Gotta love that ion ring

Take my money TAKE IT!
