They will still sell like 5 million individual tickets! It will be reasonably well watched by sports lovers in countries with a grand total of about a billion people.

Hey those paper ones look cool..... is that common? Are there many such models?<br><br>I was thinking the other day how cool it would be to have an Apollo Command Module with a Russian Soyuz for comparison.

Only a bad pilot would fly after a bird flew into the engine, nothing to do with being a coward.

How has the new career mode changed how you build?
Rus-Evo replied to corvustech's topic in KSP1 Discussion
The new gameplay provides some interesting quandries. For the first time I am considering using space stations, SSTO and reusable tugs & interplanetaries. My only cost would be fuel and special payloads. Tugs and space stations are easy and just take development time. I know decent SSTO planes are possible to fuel the station (but I have not made one yet myself). What I dont know is what is possible in terms of non-staging reusable interplanetaries (my best idea so far would use a booster tug to push the interplanetary almost out of Kerbins SOI and then returning to the station). -
I did a flyby of Minmus to complete a science mission, then used my probes excess DV to go to Duna and accepted a Duna science mission only once I had safely arrived! I love the twofers.

New Throttle Feature
Rus-Evo replied to NomenNescio's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
Its the kind of thing you should be able to choose. -
Something to think about, in the wake of Apollo 11's 45 anniversary..

The guy got to go to the moon. He has nothing to be unhappy about! -
Did you like " The Mysterious Cities Of Gold "
Rus-Evo replied to Pawelk198604's topic in The Lounge
That video is not available in my country. I think I remember it from my youth. Did it have a giant golden gliding condor and a couple of kids as characters and a Spanish Conquistador guy? -
A little .24 feedback
Rus-Evo replied to Rezolution's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
The language is a bit tricky. I was a bit flumoxed by "test engine landed at kerbin". Engines arent normally fired on land except off the pad, and I thought "landed" was a word used after you had flown, not before. Of course that was the easiest test ever in the end, just point the rocket towards earth, quickly do a quick burn then recover all funds! As for probes, in the early days of spaceflight, the humans were probably superior to early electronics. -
Recovered parts and refunds.
Rus-Evo replied to Hidden Gunman's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
So should I attach chutes to all stages and then recover non-controlled items by going to "fly" them later after they have "landed"? -
Thats lucky, I had to do the same but at over 15kms altitude. Its hard to lug that thing that high early in the game!

Next Nation that will walk on the moon?
Rus-Evo replied to piggysanTH's topic in Science & Spaceflight
The nations with the greatest capability aren't willing to spend the money. China seems like the best bet as they seem to be approaching exploration in a slow sustainable way (sustainable financially). They also don't have to worry about what voters want them to spend money on from one 4 year period to the next). -
Project - sending a Jeb figurine into stratosphere
Rus-Evo replied to lajoswinkler's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Good luck - The balloon-only ideas look more than feasible for a resourceful person/persons. With regards to sensors, could they be cheap off-the-shelf items? The reason I ask is that as I read this my eye caught my little battery powered temperature sensor on my shelf (which cost ten bucks). Something like that could be put in the cameras field of vision and may work well if kept warm (this could apply to other things as well like altitude). The Raspberry Pi type ideas seem quite complicated and time consuming (to my non-scientific eye). -
Haven't tried 24 yet but generally all things have been super so far and I trust them.

I don't think their life is as idyllic as the OP suggest

I make RTGs flip inside large SAS pieces, but I consider these to be hollow.

When your Mun lander is 3 times higher than wide.

Kerbal space program or prison architect?
Rus-Evo replied to kania's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
The main trailer for Prison Architect is hilarious. -
Usefulness of Girders, Adapters and the Like
Rus-Evo replied to frog's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
I find the girder beams work well on aircraft to be extenders to put winglets further forwards and further aft. Structural fuselage is good to make a strong central structural core of a very very very big lifter. -
The Mun is where I do mission testing. For example the equipment I sent to descend the Mohole.

The Nav ball isnt really that important. Just eye ball that sucker down!

It taught me that gravity in the most important force in space travel. It also taught me the events in "Gravity" the movie are not possible.

I have been playing for about a year and I stranded Jeb in Even orbit about 6-9 months ago. My rescue mission to finally get him back in the rotation went well until I decided that since a 41,000m Kerbal aerobrake was too high and chose 28,000 which left him and Bill stranded in a mountain range on the other side of the world. YAHOO RESCUE MISSIONS ARE THE MOST FUN!!! Also I designed planes and tried to land on that very very high pointy peak in the western mountain range.
