That's the way Kerbal voices are generated in the promo videos, according to DanRosas I think.

The station science addon has a module to do just this. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/54774-0-22-Station-Science-%28third-alpha-Zoology-Bay-added%29 You may use it as-is or modify it to your own needs.

What is Poyekhali? Some other suggestions * Situation is nominal * Periodic announcements of speed while in an atmosphere at 100 m/s intervals * Leaving the troposphere * leaving the atmosphere * Entering the atmosphere * Vehicle is supersonic * About to crash * Orbit achieved * Now suborbital * Hyperbolic Escape achieved * Successful docking. * Unexpected collision * A tank has been depleted. * New speed record * Mach/re-entry effect observed * Batteries depleted * Something exploded * Chute opened * Chutes just broke off * Kerbal is doomed... * Landed on a foreign body, some kind of little speech and the kerbal looks back at Kerbin.

When I finally unlocked the Cubic Octogonal Strut. My designs were crippled because I was using that thing in everything. It basically allows you to surface attach anything anywhere at negligible mass cost. Squad put it on the far right end of the tech tree and I've been playing on 50x hard mode (all science experiments pay 50 times less) so I just finally unlocked it for the first time. Had to send a 3 man mission to Eeloo to get the last hundred points.

Strut the engines to the tanks they are connected to.

Are you on Linux? It's different on Linux. Right shift I think takes the place of alt.

I think it may be that your intakes are pointed at an angle. Intake drag is proportional to the component of the intake's open face direction that is aligned with the direction of motion. The way you have assembled it produced a positive feedback loop in the yaw. When you yaw left, the intakes on the left are pointed more into the airstream, and create more drag on the left, pulling the plane even further to the left. In other words, you created an unstable system that is sensitive to initial conditions. Try swapping the intake angles, such that intakes point inward slightly instead of outward. This should create a negative feedback look in the yaw and actually stabilize the plane. Also, You probably used an action group for the intake close function. Keep in mind that if you grab and replace a symmetrically placed part which already has an assigned action group, that action group will be removed from any symmetric copies of that part. This is a bug. If you closed some intakes before taking off, it is possible that only the intakes on one side of the plane are closed.

I think more sounds is always a plus, and this in particular would be pretty cool. I'd like to hear the kerbals say things like "the vehicle is supersonic" in backwards spanish, and you can learn what it sounds like to clue into the launch process

You can build high-altitude plane using the ram air intakes (if you have them) and explore all the biomes on kerbin in a few hours. You should be able to fly around 1700 m/s at 22 to 26 km. I think your best route would be something like this. Also, I would not advise landing in the ocean with your plane Better design a special craft for that.

What science goals does Chang'e 3 have? Is it just a national pride project or does it seek specific answers to questions about the Moon?

If the goal is to make observations from beyond GEO but GEO itself is not a requirement, consider an eccentric orbit that brings the sat closer to the surface at it perigee so it can periodically communicate with a ground station.

Woop! Go India!

I'd want NASA to strengthen it's planetary science missions by putting orbiters around a few of the most interesting outer-planetary moons: Titan, Europa, Io, Enceladus, Ganymede, Oberon and Triton. I'd like to see a rover on Venus, the Moon, and Io, and a rover or plane on Titan. I'd like to see newer, tougher atmospheric probes dropped into all 4 gas giants. I'd also like to see them massively increase the data throughput of their deep space network to the point where we can have multiple high-definition color video streams coming from landers and orbiters around the solar system.

That's an awesome collector satellite Is this at kerbin or Jool?

There is actually a hidden module in KSP that was added when the module system was introduced that gives wings a more realistic aerodynamic model (like FAR) but I cannot remember it's name :/ It could theoretically be turned on with a cfg edit.

Baka! It went right over my head.

No. that doesn't make any sense either. His title is "An inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis" It implies he was going to ask some wierd question about orbital inclination, but he's asking how to save a stranded pod.

What does your title have to do with this?

Wow, that's a tiny SSTO

G opens and closes the legs. You can also right click them and they will have a button in the context menu. If they don't respond to those actions they may be somehow broken off but still connected. Can you switch to them as independent vessels with ] and [ keys? Reloading the vessel usually helps with all sorts of problems too.

It's not a picture of a rocket launch but I always thought this was pretty cool

Are there any membranes comparable to lipid bi-layers that can be constructed with dipole-dipole interactions?

Nice artwork!

Cassini is awesome! At first glance, I think it's a little strange that the dendritic drainage patterns are not more pronounced. Perhaps the precipitation is actually not very frequent, or perhaps the fluid just soaks straight down to the water-table easily without having to run downhill to the nearest lake. On Earth when we see this, it's because there is vegetation preventing the erosion..;D
