  1. Denied. It's a Q&A thread. Who drilled the holes in the radiator panels?
  2. Banned for not using a contrast palette to see the signature.
  3. Banned for thinking that Aquaman is in stock.
  4. How can I be sure that I'm actually the first person on Mars?
  5. The "happy end" of the fast cat's "kill, kill!" movie is a cheating.
  6. Floor 3300: They say, it's for the Floor 3293. Floor 3293: They take the signs and do a sigh.
  7. Melt it and cast silver bullets.
  8. You can build a Kerbal Hoover Dam. Can you find a river for that in KSP, where the water surface is always at the sea level? *** Upd. Though, it's Happy Hours now.
  9. In Five Weeks in a Balloon by Jules Verne they crossed Africa spending one small non-rechargable electric battery to replenish the balloon with hydrogen by electrolyzing the water from rivers, and using it also for other needs like illumination. In Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne a whole electric submarine performs a whole circumnavigation trip around the Earth, visiting the South Pole, and diving to the 16 km depth, recharging the battery just once (in their volcanic island with coal mine). So, why not.
  10. Granted. You are sitting in a train with a notebook powered by Win 8.1. The train is very powerful. I wish for KSP 2 hype.
  11. Granted. You run Elite and start writing. I wish Elite Frontier and KSP were the same.
  12. The general relativity theory is based on postulates, which were postulated without explanations. This doesn't make any problem in its practical use.
  13. Because somebody had wished for SCP-106. Why is the SCP setting so much addictive?
  14. Banned for seeking for the grammer where it cannot be.
  15. The coming baby looks rather postterm, by two years or so.
  16. Granted. You have the hypersonic carrier of aircrafts, but they can't take off until it stops. I wish for grox meat instead of the chicken.
  17. A little notice. The gravity is not a significant actor on such short distances which 99% of the human science deals with. All it needs to know about gravity, is "g = 9.81 m/s2". Looking back, the XVII..early XX experiments required such primitive equipment, that it could be produced even in an early Bronze Age neolithic village, if they knew in which direction they should think. Including the primitive particle accelerators and X-rays. And most part of chemistry didn't relate to a field theory until early XX. In the early XX they were thinking that atom is an amorphous pudding with electrons as raisins. A little later the scattering experiments ensured them that some of the electrons are orbiting around a pudding nucleus, which consists of protons and other electrons. Only in 1932 they discovered the neutron and got the idea that the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Also they realized that there can be isotopes and discovered deuterium. Only in 1934 they discovered tritium and its radioactive decay, and finally came to the idea of a primitive full-hydrogen fusion bomb (of then-future RDS-6t style). Only in 1938..40 they finally discovered the uranium fission and came to the idea of a fission bomb, and thus how to ignite the full-hydrogen fusion bomb. And only a decade later they came to the idea of a (then-ont very well understood) radiation implosion. In 1940s the primitive V-2 had no analogs anywhere in the world, and the German chemistry as well. In 1950s they were laughing at the continent drift, and in 1980s they were teaching in schools the false geosinclinal theory instead. In early XX they were still sure that the Galaxy is the whole Universe, so the whole Universe can be colonized in observable future. Almost till the mid XX they were seriously thinking that Mars and Venus are full of life. The relativity theory and the quantum physics were treated as nonsense by the opposite theory adepts, and both at once as more conservative scientists. So, the field theory, and especially the gravitation played a very little role in the modern science building until last several decades. And even if it got reveled that the Earth is flat and covered with a crystal dome, 99% of science would not be affected at all.
  18. Banned because not doing this previously.
  19. When you are shocked that somebody doesn't use textual UI.
  20. Granted. On taking it, you understand that you were sapient cordyceps in the patient's head, and not it cured him. I wish the youtube advices "how to defeat SCP-096" are working.
  21. Trees. From Spaceballs. Not exactly on Mars, but if combine them with the Total Recall terraforming scene, will be on Mars, too.
