[quote name='Alshain']I tried putting it on a rover and driving it around KSC, it didn't seem to do anything. I even went out to the obelisk. The anomalies are already on my map from orbital scan.[/QUOTE] Around KSC, KSC is the only thing that shows up. Other places it will walk you in to anomalies meter by meter. It works really slick.

[quote name='Laie']Hint: forget about the transfer window planner. With inclination changes and everything, nailing the transfer is quite hard while most transfer windows aren't really worthwhile. The easier way to do it: a) look at the map sideways, depart from Kerbin when Kerbin is at it's AN/DN with Moho. b) do a transfer burn so that you will just touch Moho's trajectory c) once you get to that point, do a retro burn so that you meet Moho in this place on your next orbit.[/QUOTE] Laie Is right. [url]http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/61478-Oh-bugger-Injection-burn-at-Moho[/url] Scroll down to Macollos' post. The only thing he/she is missing is the retro burn at periapse to set up an encounter on your next orbit.

I've been using it for several days and have seen no problems.

I like the new scan animation in the map view.

In previous versions, any clipped parts (even using the new editor widgets) would (not always) cause orbits to fluctuate. I'm not sure about this version because I never clip any parts on spacecraft anymore.

[quote name='Red Iron Crown']=I would stay away from car analogies, they don't work very well for explaining the Oberth Effect. That and your example is backwards, a 2cm throttle input will make a stopped car accelerate faster than the same input at high speed. (Cars don't use reaction drives, so Oberth doesn't apply anyway.)[/QUOTE] I agree with the first sentence. It's simplistic to aid in understanding, and I respectfully disagree with the second sentence.

Ok. If you are in a car stopped at a stop sign and you press down the accelerator 2 cm, it has very little effect on your speed, but if you are on the highway going 120 and press the accelerator 2 cm it will have a much greater effect on your velocity.

Hey. Love the lights. Much better than stock. The curse download is still for version 1.2.1.

Wow. I've logged over 2000 hours in this great game and today is the first time I've seen this. I was beginning to think the game didn't like me.

Mk. I couldn't wait any longer for the 1.0.5 version so I loaded 1.0.4's. Didn't there used to be an atmospheric efficiency readout, or am I just missing it?

If you look at the part description in the VAB it will say, or scroll down on the first post of this thread to Parts. They are all listed. Ideal altitudes: RADAR anything over 5 km, Multi is 250 km, SAR is 750 km.

I'm not sure about this version, but previously any clipped parts will cause orbits to change in unexpected ways. It's a shame. We have all these cool new editor tools to put parts where you need them to be, but I rarely use them because it can cause ships to fall from the sky.. BTW. Welcome to the Forums.

New Horizons scientists made this false color image of Pluto using a technique called principal component analysis to highlight the many subtle color differences between Pluto's distinct regions. The image data were collected by the spacecraft’s Ralph/MVIC color camera on July 14 at 11:11 AM UTC, from a range of 22,000 miles (35,000 kilometers). This image was presented by Will Grundy of the New Horizons’ surface composition team on Nov. 9 at the Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in National Harbor, Maryland.

I can't bring myself to start the game without KER. I mean what am I s'posed to do, calculate my dv by hand?? I'm not a caveman. Can't thank you enough for maintaining this cybutek.

Ok, I found the world cup mod. http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/221319-kerbin-cup

Anybody have a link for the New official world cup mod. A Curseforge search turns up no results.

Wow Frida. Nice post. Very thorough. Amazing discoveries.

Here's Scott Manleys'.

Ok, How do you detect technology we haven't discovered. We can only look for things we know about.

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1511/1511.01606.pdf Abstract We report on a search for the presence of signals from extraterrestrial intelligence in the direction of the star system KIC 8462852. Observations were made at radio frequencies between 1 – 10 GHz using the Allen Telescope Array. No narrow band radio signals were found at a level of 180 – 300 Jy in a 1 Hz channel, or wide band signals above 100 Jy in a 100 kHz channel. These limits correspond to isotropic radio transmitter powers of 4 – 7 10^15 W and 10^20 W for the narrow band and moderate band observations. These can be compared with Earth’s strongest transmitters, including the Arecibo Observatory’s planetary radar (21013 W EIRP). Clearly, the energy demands for a detectable signal from KIC 8462852 are far higher than this terrestrial example (largely as a consequence of the distance of this star). Additionally, it’s worth noting that any society able to construct a Dyson swarm will have an abundant energy source, as the star furnishes energy at a level of ~10^27 watts.This report represents a first survey placing upper limits on anomalous flux from KIC8462852. We expect that this star will be the object of additional observations for years tocome

http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-mission-reveals-speed-of-solar-wind-stripping-martian-atmosphere http://www.space.com/31031-mars-atmosphere-discovery-nasa-maven.html New results from NASA's MAVEN spacecraft suggest that the Red Planet lost most of its atmosphere  which had kept Mars relatively warm and allowed the planet to support liquid surface water  to space about 3.7 billion years ago. "We think that all of the action took place between about 4.2 to 3.7 billion years ago," MAVEN principal investigator Bruce Jakosky, of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder.. I'm confused. Wasn't the late Heavy bombardment smashing volatile rich planetesimals into planets and moons that would replenish Mars atmosphere right around this time?

The star has been informally dubbed "Tabbys' star".

Another piece of evidence showing we need to rethink current models of solar system formation. 67p is spewing oxygen. http://www.nature.com/news/rosetta-sniffs-oxygen-around-comet-67p-1.18658

Where were you when you first saw the Rowsdower image? Ahh good times. I miss ole Rowsy.
