Nooooo. lol Nice job.

I've found fairings and fins help a great deal. Zoo... I've no problems with asparagus staging.

Minmus, which we know is made of mint ice cream, looks like it's melting. lol... nice, great pic. I spent the better part of the day in v0.90 returning all of my crews back home. The Mun base has been emptied and abandoned, its two rovers left plugged into their solar rechargers should aliens ever visit and care to take them for a cruise. All three of my space stations (around Kerbin, Mun, and Minmus) have been emptied, except for the station commanders - they come home tomorrow. Once the station commanders return, KSP v0.90 will become history. Now, I await the arrival of docking cameras for v1.0.x.

No, it wasn't the Aurora. Between the humidity and sea, I'm sure it was just a perfect pre-dawn angle that played prism.

Sunsets are indeed quite beautiful, but sometimes a sunrise exceeds the sunset (out at sea for example). I don't have the picture handy to post, but another shot I took while up in Maine was a sunrise which had the sky green ... but it only lasted a few moments. I considered it a rare moment, as I'd never seen such a thing before.

Yes, cold, gray, and rainy here too. How about a setting sun? (Kettle Cove, Cape Elizabeth, Maine) Or a few clouds? (Kettle Cove, Cape Elizabeth, Maine) Maybe a few ducks? (Kettle Cove, Cape Elizabeth, Maine) Oh, wait, this was about moon pictures. How about a Harvest Moon rising? (Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, Maine) Enjoy.

I officially landed on the Mun and returned to Kerbin safely

Can I get Science from falling down stairs?
LordFerret replied to Sgt.Shutesie's topic in The Lounge
You'll need to perform the experiment again, but make sure you've got the Impact mod installed. If you have any siblings present, have them operate the Flashometer (IE: take pictures). And be sure to run the second part of this experiment - falling up stairs. -
Electronics? The only electronics we had when I was a Scout were flashlights and AM transistor radios. The radios came in handy if there was a baseball game being aired. The flashlights... well, most kids flashlights, the batteries were dead by day two, because camping out in the woods they'd be up all night shining their lights at every little sound ..... or playing with the flashlight, pretending it was a rocket (come on now, you know you've done that lol).

Sorry, I beg to differ. There are no receptors (rods nor cones) in the optic nerve head. http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/The_Blind_Spot I'm not saying so much to look from 'the corner of your eye', but just not directly at it (concentrated effort) ... instead to look at v And (concentrate on it) and you'll more likely see M31.

On a very clear night, binoculars handy, I enjoy showing friends (and their kids) their first galaxy. We start by locating the constellation Cassiopeia, and using its stars Tsih (HIP 4427), Caph (HIP 746), and Shedir (HIP 3179) as an 'arrow' pointer over to the constellation Andromeda ... there using its stars 51 And (HIP 7607), Alpheratz (HIP 677), and (finding the middle star between those two for the reference) v And (HIP 3881) to see the galaxy M31, the Andromeda galaxy; A first, barely perceptible as a seeming fuzzy star to the naked eye, then clearly definable as a galaxy using the binoculars. Try it. When you think you see it, don't look directly at it, because you'll lose sight of it due to the blind spot at the back of your eyes (the optic nerve head in your retinas)... look at it indirectly, you'll see it! It's just off the tip of v And, on the side of Alpheratz.

Depending on the severity of the surgery and how invasive, not only will he face a good bit of recovery but (let us hope not) also many months of rehabilitation. I have a family member who has had serious brain surgery (astrocytoma tumor removal), and it took her years to recover ... and at that, she still suffered quite a bit of deficit as a result of the surgery. However, we're very glad and thankful to have her still with us. Instead of preparing trumpets, think good thoughts instead so to send positive vibes, and prayers - they do help.

"Guidance is converging" what does this mean?
LordFerret replied to Pawelk198604's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Based on that explanation, all of my launches involve "unconverged guidance". lol -
Today I shelved KSP, until docking cameras are functional again.
-
Who said anything about a conspiracy? What I wrote was more intended a question than a statement. A question still unanswered. Excellent point.
-
Yes. And just when I thought I'd seen just about everything..... Some of it has been truly appalling. A thing once seen cannot be unseen. I know what you mean about 'repeat customers'. I have a few habitual bad habit surfers I deal with. One of my solutions is escalating fees. Some of them, never mind 'repeat customers', I call them 'repeat offenders'. One such individual, I had to warn them to change their ways, and to not bring me such a machine to fix ever again.

Interesting articles. I've heard discussion regarding Galileo before, elsewhere. To take such precautions specifically, here, now, perhaps suggests they know/suspect more than they're telling... maybe?
-
I was going to put this up the other day, but forgot... Beer with Jesus ...and yea, it's country. lol
-
Wishing you all the best on the journey you're about to undertake... thank you for your service... do great things.

In that light, we've contaminated every body in this solar system we've visited/dropped a probe on thusfar. Europa will be no different, especially if they even remotely find an indication of life.

Oh my! You've said the magic word: Wawa! They have the best coffee anywhere.

Electronic Medical Records. Everything is coded these days, tens of thousands of codes ... all for insurance purposes.

Interesting article. Not a single mention of what the kids used the computers for at home, a thing I'd be interested in knowing. It appears to me that the only thing resulting from the whole debacle is that lawyers got richer. Ethanadams, I've been using/working-with computers since before there was a PC. The only 'corrupted' files I've ever encountered were from drives with failures, and the occasional cross-system file conversions that weren't properly mapped. I've never been 'successfully' hit by a virus on any of my machines. Since retiring in 2005, some of my spare time is spent cleaning and fixing other people's computers - virus removal. I know where they get their viruses from - sites and apps they shouldn't be visiting/playing with. I find no excuse for it.

...reading it now. No offense taken; I just wanted to clarify my statement.
