[subspace]

The question really is, what IS sunspace?

[Remove or Fix the Stayputnik]

Engines that gimbal only help when they're on. And wasting fuel is, sadly, not on my agenda.

LV-T 45 and LV-909 are on a tier before the Stayputnik.

[Cake, SSTOs, and KSP .90]

4x physics warp increases the intake air that you get.

[Remove or Fix the Stayputnik]

Maybe give it some torque. I constantly forget things like that. At least give it SOME torque... After all, the Mk1 pod has torque, so it's not like it's beyond their technology.

EDIT: How about the Stayputnik is unlocked with the Goo canisters, and a Srayputnik MkII replaced where the current Stayputnik is in the tech tree. The MkII would have SAS but no torque, or something like that.

[Waffles vs french toast! Who will win.]

That's the beauty if a waffle, it's the basis for the Windows Logo! It has to be. The only logical conclusion...

[Biological Rocketry and Spaceflight on a 1/100 scale Planet.]

What distance does it assume "g" is at in that equation?

[The physics of avatar]

By finding the payload. Also, you calculate how much volume you need, and calculate the amount of material required for the tensile truss...

[Happy with the quality of new buildings?]

My main problem is the roads. Light gray right next to a sandy color? No sir! Make all roads sand or none, please.

Also, #Shackville.

Corrugated metal shacks, maybe an industrial garage for VAB ( no SPH yet in Shackville). A simple shack for Mission Control, some RVs for Astronaut Complex, R&D should be something with a few RVs and a couple of shacks. Admin should be a very simple shack, and the Launchpad could be touched up, but for Shackville it should be the same as now.

[Abusable Contract Mechanics]

Yeah. Maybe some baseline could be used... A certain number of Minmus transfers maybe...

[Biological Rocketry and Spaceflight on a 1/100 scale Planet.]

Umm... 1/100 Kerbin? Because 1/100 Earth is 60 km...

[2015 budget. NASA gets a raise! Wooo Hoo!]

But a lot of corporations have even BIGGER budgets, and you say space is expensive? Providing calling services all across North America is expensive... Not only doing it, but doing it in a way that really isn't great...

[Historicish NASA play throw]

Uh... no. Apollo 18-20 were cancelled by Nixon because of budget issues. The Saturns were already built for them. Skylab was a 'Well, we have a spare Saturn now, what shall we do with it?'

EDIT: Okay, to cover myself I'm gonna hold my hands up here and say I was wrong... sorta... In 1969, it was decided that Apollo 20 would be scratched and replaced by the Skylab launch instead. Buuut (here's the Sorta) Apollo 18 and 19 were scrapped in 1971, due to both budget cuts and the cash-hungry development of the STS.

So you're still wrong There are two flight-worthy Saturn V's on display as museum pieces, so it wasn't a lack of Saturns. But I wasn't as right as I thought I was.

Huh. I forgot about that one Saturn.

Btw, I've probably forgotten more than you'll ever know. I actually DID know that stuff, a while ago...

Technically we're both right and wrong, I said they didn't to use it, but I didn't really specify who "they" was. I meant the US government as a whole...

[Historicish NASA play throw]

Not very. Or at least scale them down appropriately. Also, some keplerian orbital definitions are hard to figure out, especially in KSP...

[Aero Revamp: What do You Want to See?]

Atmo drag to orbit is nearly 1% the Dv for most cases. A lot of the required Dv comes from just having to get up there, and to account for gravity losses. All of this for real life of course.

[The physics of avatar]

0.5c seems like a much better cruising speed to me.

[Should we ban kerolox rockets]

Isn't coal primarily stored solar-energy from millions of years ago, fossilized dead trees? So technically it's solar power... Technically.

[Historicish NASA play throw]

They cancelled Apollo 18+ because of a lack of Saturns. One was taken for Skylab, which left one last Saturn, and they didn't want to use it, I guess.

Hey, you could do the manned Venus flyby with Apollo tech, just use LM engines on the CSM and use the booster stage as a "HAB" module.

[Leveling Up Kerbals -- The Training Program]

Hmm... I got more than 2 from Kerbin.

[Misplaced a Zero?]

I think that you should keep the models, but the first upgrades bring you better performance, and then change the models later on.

[A Wormhole kraken ate my Mechjeb]

Hey, at least there's no pod bay doors that it might get pesky about...

[[1.2.1] Outer Planets Mod (2.1) - Active development has moved, see first post for new thread]

The Uranus and Neptune analogs should be orange hued. Jool is kind of opposite Jupiter's red/orange, the Saturn analog should be purple, basically make plots opposite. It'd be neat...

[SUGGESTION: Easy (and awesome) Visual Kerbal Specialization Scheme]

They could have a small stripe on the helmet....

[Is it just me or is the Stayputnik useless now?]

I just think that all probes should upgrade when you get the new one. Like a software upgrade or something. But that's just me...

[Misplaced a Zero?]

This is more of a balance thing. It prevents you from getting so far in the tech tree early on. Basically preventing one mission tech tree missions. I was going to put a tech limit on the game anyways...

Although, a good way to force you to leave Kerbin would be to lower the science modifier in the system. Mun and Minmus are just too high.

[2015 budget. NASA gets a raise! Wooo Hoo!]

That's super cheap compared to the ISS. NASA spends way to much on manned spaceflight. We need more Cassini like missions.

Even so...

I'm all for Cassini like missions, but NASA was forced in this expensive situation. Manned spaceflight is a necessity. A person can think, make up ideas, and can cover more ground. Humans are also very useful. A human hand can do a lot, wielding a weapon, a science tool, can hit a button, etc.
