Yes that ^ And, technically, the conflict ("police action") with North Korea and the US never ended either ... you could say we're still at a state of war. As for staying on topic and facepalms?... this is one of my all-time biggest facepalms... just about everything she does, and nearly everything that comes out her mouth. She stands second only to Kim Kardashian. Snooki

That made me facepalm.

Good gads. What was the part count of that thing?!?

If you know how they came here (via ship?) and can find any information (family story, rumor, etc) about year and ship line or name ... most of those old ships/companies have the passenger registries posted and available for research. Also, if you have any idea, even remotely, of what country and possibly region they came from, church birth records (also county seat/government death and marriage records) might help. We have done extensive searching and researching of our family history, and I can tell you - it takes time and patience and perseverance. Don't give up.

I'm a bit confused. I posted the other day about the loss of Fredpond and Joepond. A few minutes ago, I was in the Astronaut Complex looking to recruit a few new crew when I noticed the "Lost" tab indicated "0 Missing"!?! How can this be?!? Fred and Joe took an unattended plunge into the sea... I thought they were gone forever. I've not made any reverts or loaded any Quicksaves (I don't use it). Did these two survive the fall and swim to shore??? I don't recall recovering them in the debris either. This one has me scratching my head, and Linkey too. However, I am glad to have them both back. They will continue to work together as a team.

90377 Sedna ... the ultimate getaway. Our chance to visit will come around 2075. If we don't take advantage, the next chance will be 12,000 years later.

Couldn't resist. http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/

A few actually. Nearly all the males of my father's side of the family are, all of them research scientists and/or doctors/professors who have published (papers/books). We've one female, quite famous, a 2-star general who made national news a number of times before she retired, and even then continued making news with her work for veterans. I'm the Black Sheep of the family, the only one not published... unless you count computer code, hundreds of thousands of lines of it. Such is life. That's a cool find there spaceman1999. A quick Google had me surprised... I've seen this stuff before, and just realized it deals with model rockets.

Google translates that slightly differently, but it equates more or less to the same evaluation*... unintended 3rd stage separation followed by tank depressurization. I would be less concerned about the tank depressurization/rupture than I would the unintended 3rd stage separation. I'm getting the impression staging occurred before it was supposed to, with the 2nd stage maybe striking the 3rd stage causing the tank rupture(s). * {In general, start-up and separation of THC «Progress M-27M" took place in normal mode until the separation of THC third stage "Soyuz 2.1a." On the second flight was 526.716 unintended separation of the third stage of the launch and the THC, resulting in the ship was in orbit with an apogee of 40 km upstream, and third stage of the launch - in an orbit with an apogee of 20 km below the calculated trajectory excretion.}

Yes, that worked just fine. Thank you!

Congratulations! Auburn is a great school... one hell of a football team!

lol ... great. I know just the crew I'm sending that link to.

Congratulations! Despite what many tend to think and say, that "lamb skin" is important. Job well done! Now, however, I'll urge you to keep going. Don't stop there. Keep that momentum going! Go for your Bachelor's degree ... and then on to your Master's!

Umm... isn't this considered "stalking"? lol

You're likely too young(maybe?) to recognize those sounds... they're acoustic data tones, same as you would hear if you listened in on an acoustic modem connection... which is essentially what it is. Nikola7007 is correct. The EAS uses this system for a number of reasons, including packet radio relay of emergency notification data (ham radio) - which is about the only thing which will be working if all else fails. Hurricane Katrina is a perfect example: no phones (landlines or cell service) were available, so police, fire, EMS, National Guard - all were without working communications. It was amateur radio operators who came to the rescue (as far as communications) with a relay network. You can find out more about public use of the EAS here: http://www.arrl.org/ares Living near the ocean, from time to time I'll get EAS weather alerts if rough weather is heading our way. The alerts pop up on the tv, as well as my scanner (when I have it turned on).

Question: I set a landing target in the zoom map (passive mode, because I don't have/use MechJeb), but now I can't seem to be able to remove it. How do you remove a landing target?

Back in the late 50's and early 60's, as an elementary school kid, we used to have nuclear attack drills... the proverbial "Duck and Cover". All of us kids would be ushered, quickly, down into the basement of the school, and made to lie up against the cement/brick walls of the foundation, covering our heads with our arms until the 'all clear' was sounded. That's what I grew up with. Found on the web... similar... only ours was conducted in the basement..... Also, every Saturday afternoon at the stroke of noon, the air raid sirens would test for 60 seconds ... one long constant wail. We used to pretend we were under attack, as a game. The real deal would have had the siren switch from the long constant wail to a 'warbling', which was the "Strike Imminent" alarm. If you heard that, you had maybe 5 minutes to kiss your ass goodbye. We never got to hear that one (thankfully).

You have yet to discover the 'anomalies' on Mun. Not quite caves, but worth finding and exploring.

I don't like losing Kerbals, and today I lost my first two in v1.0.2 I was bringing a Mobile Processing Lab back home from Mun, loaded with science. The lab had a Mk1-2 pod attached, along with a boat-load of chutes ... and of course a heat shield. When I built the thing, I made sure the CoM in the VAB was indicating the heat shield end the 'heavy end', which it was. However, on reentry, the thing decided to flip around nose-in. The chutes all burned off, leaving my three passengers to their doom. As quickly as I could (after the flames died down), I EVA'd all of them and got them out of the capsule. The last of them, Linkey, was the only one I had a chance to do anything with. Activating her jet pack and thrusting upward actually saved her from the plunge into the ocean. She actually somehow manage to survive that fall... had it been on land, I doubt highly she would have. The other two didn't survive, I had no time to get to them and do anything with them and their jet packs. RIP Fredpond and Joepond. I'm annoyed because the 'pond' brothers made a good team, and I wanted to hang onto them.

So far every thing is working fine for me, but I've only gotten as far as a low-res scan of Kerbin. Like all the new features, especially the zoom. Thank you!

Thanks once again for these fixes ... greatly needed, and appreciated.

I think it would be to Squad's advantage to update the demo to the v1.0.2 fixes, but keep in mind ... it's just a demo.

'pocker'? Do you mean "Poker", the card game?

Mine was 40 years ago (this year as a matter of fact) ... I don't quite remember. My prom date (high school sweetheart) is now married with kids (all grown up) of her own.

I already started a thread on this a few days ago. The response was the same, and no volunteers with Wiki accounts familiar with making such changes stepped forward. Guess it's going to be a while.
