Most drag is frontal area. Windscreen, nacelles, etc, and my plane doesn't flip around when I pull power to idle. Either way, there's a lot more reasons to put the rudder in back, than in front.

No I meant CoL, since the relation of that to CoM has more to do with stability than drag. Most of the drag is already ahead of the CoL/CoM except in probably some very odd designs.

But even your jet fighters which have the COM very near the COL for maneuverability, have rudders in the rear. Most drag on planes is from frontal area.

Yes. Imagine trying line up yourself on a runway while you have a rudder blocking your view. But what would I know? I'm only a commercially rated pilot and flight instructor, so I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Because it usually helps to, um, see where you are going in real life. And even if it were a twin boom set up, they would still be in your field of vision which makes for seeing other traffic more difficult. And no (at least here in the US) air traffic control doesn't keep most traffic separated. That's all on the pilots to do so.

I saw Steve Miller in concert a few years ago. Well played. I don't think anyone mentioned: And when things do wrong it's What Would Brian Boitano Do? (I'd link to it, but I'm pretty sure I'd get in trouble)

Except he wanted it to empty 1 2-3-4 5 6-7-8 I would probably go with 1 --> 2/3/4 and 1 --> 5 and then 5 ---> 6/7/8 assuming that 2/3/4/6/7/8 are all the same engine type, and the quantity of tanks 2/3/4 combined is less than 5.

Tack a probe core on it.

You can tweak the orbit with RCS, to get it almost exact. And even if it's not dead on perfect, as long as the orbital periods are the same it wont get captured, provided you don't put it 10 meters outside the SOI.

Well, for the Mun since it is tidally locked with Kerbin, you could put a ship just ahead, or just behind the Mun at the same orbit, and it would always remain stationary in regards to Mun.

I have edited the persistence file to do exactly what you want in the past. Make a copy of your persistence file. Then find the VESSEL in the persistence file, and in it the appropriate PART. It should look something like this: PART { name = dockingPortLarge uid = 1779428857 mid = 68457742 parent = 12 position = 0,7.25250053405762,0 rotation = 0,0,0,1 mirror = 1,1,1 istg = 0 dstg = 0 sqor = -1 sidx = -1 attm = 0 srfN = None, -1 attN = None, -1 attN = bottom, 12 mass = 0.2 temp = -199.8746 expt = 0.5 state = 1 connected = True attached = True flag = Squad/Flags/blorbs rTrf = dockingPortLarge I bet that yours says attN = top, [Parent ID] change that from top to bottom you may have to mess with your rotation line. When mine is correct is shows as above, however that's installed "squarely" on the parent part and not at an angle. depending on where it was installed you may need the line to say 0,0,-1,0 instead. If you can't get it right, well, reload the old persistence file

80 additional dV. And no, that's about right. 950+80 = 1030

OK, so I am at Year 1, day 66, 0:30+/- (KSP time) I have KAC set up for KSP time, and the transfer windows show as follows: Model: 84d 4h 19m Formula: 71d 1h 6m (dpesn't seem to matter to change the math calcs/second, and toggleing Autorecalc of xfer points has no effect) But https://alexmoon.github.io/ksp/ says the departure should be at year 1, day 269, 2h10m which is a transfer window 203 days out, so I'm confused. Will uninstall a couple mods and see if that changes things. Edit: Uninstalled all mods, and the numbers remain the same.

I think it's a toolbar issue. I don't have a toolbar and have no issues. When I had magic smoke's toolbar installed i couldn't get to KAC. So magic smoke did a disappearing act.

One issue: But before I get to it, I just want to say this mod is by far my favorite. No more manual warping to see if I'm in the right spot to do a transfer, or missing an SOI change, or zooming past a periapsis, however... I've noticed lately that the transfer alarms are off, like way off. I am in year 1, day 66 of career mode, and when I make an alarm for a Kerbin-Moho transfer it tells me it's x days out - (I'm not at my KSP computer, so I don't recall the day exactly). So I set the alarm for 6 hours ahead of the KAC determined transfer window and launch. When I set my maneuver node for the transfer the closest approach way off on Moho's orbit. So I set another alarm for the transfer window, and it shows another 10 days out - and the closest approach is still quite a ways off. And I set another alarm and it's showing x days out again. Other than Mechjeb and enhanced Navball the only mods I have installed are for extra parts mods. Also, I noticed with the updates it is now automatically creating an alarm whenever I create a maneuver node. Is there a way to disable that option?

Sorry, gonna have to be part of UHC.

At least being passed along, yes. I don't see how eliminating [condition] is heinous.

Just because someone has the right to do something doesn't mean they should do something. Unfortunately most breeders don't know where that line is. And when you have millions of them you get, well...*looks around the cesspool known as Earth*...this. But you can't legislate morality or intelligence, so we're surrounded by selfish morons.

Why? I'm not advocating killing anyone - at least not for these reasons. I think what's scary is when someone has the mindset of "I have [condition] and the likelihood of my children having it as well is very high, but I'm so selfish, I'm going to give it to them anyway." I know a girl that has a hereditary condition where her bones were very brittle. She had over 100 breaks before she turned 18 from doing normal every day things. She had her tubes tied so she wouldn't pass the condition on. I don't think that is scary in the least. I look at it as pure selfishness if someone wouldn't do the same thing as her.

That's a completely different discussion. Long story short, we don't have the technology yet.

At all. I'm not advocating state sponsored sterilization or abortion, but there are vast swaths of people that shouldn't be reproducing because of their genes. I do however want to emphasize it has NOTHING to do with heritage or race. Simply defective genes.

The fallacy here is that Eugenics = Genocide. It doesn't. I don't think defective people should be passing on their genes.

Nope - groups of many people. We're defective - myself included.

So will 6,999,750,000 other people. It's not like everyone BUT you is going. I wouldn't be selected either, I have less than 20/20 vision.

Think they will be happy collecting trash and cleaning toilets? You cant have the 250,000 smartest people on the ship.
