  1. Ok, I've processed this. @Parkaboy, you had better make damn sure you live up to the readers' expectations. You've delivered so far, but that's dangerous- people keep expecting your best work. In the words of a 6-year-old boy, "I find that my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone's expectations." Good luck, Parkaboy- and godspeed.
  2. No they don't, not if you're comparing 1:1 models. The idea is to give a comparison to a real life vehicle.
  3. For reference, that's about half the height and radius of the Saturn V, and about 45% of the mass.
  4. I was the first in my chem class to discover that staying at a constant speed throughout your launch is a bad idea.
  5. Or there's the old "Open it in the VAB/SPH and look at the Engineer's Report," but I guess that isn't accurate enough. Now, how about the volume of that sucker?
  6. Well, why didn't we think of this earlier! Makes things a lot easier now.
  7. Yeah, but if you zoom in you can see that his foot is behind the back of the engine bell. I don't think that you're right, Jimbodiah.
  8. I use PTC Creo 3.0 It works fine for me, but for more advanced things, such as NACA airfoils, you might need one of the add ons.
  9. Wow. Really, really well done, Parkaboy. Give me a few moments to process this.
  10. No, you get Red Plushy Hat. @Kuzzter?
  11. Great job! I did notice a typo in panel 1, page 2. Not sure if it's intentional or not. So, ready for the year to refuel this baby?
  12. @Felbourn, have you checked out apollo17.org? It has the full mission transcripts, and all the photos, and all the videos, all in real time.
  13. @windows_x_seven? I remember him, too. He got banned, but IDK y. He was a nice guy, at least as I knew him.
  14. no, it's an electrical principal I'm thinking of. Can't remember what it is, though.
  15. IIRC, Phones don't quite work in elevators, because there's a box effect which keeps radio waves from traveling. I think, I'm not sure- I read it somewhere.
  16. Not quite, but pretty damn close enough for Kerbfleet standards. Gilly, on the other hand, might have her orbit shaken a bit.
