KSP 2 science system

You can throw any of them to measure the fall duration, or attach to the rope to measure the oscillation period. -
Bad science in fiction Hall of Shame

Tichy is Ijon. -
Because they would be doing something.

Banned for freezing the time.

Not "ion engines" but "Ion engines". They are buying these engines in Romania, from the guy whose name is Ion (= John). -
Either She-Kraken is Kerbal Queen, or their Queen is hidden below the Draft Office building. I meant, irl. Not mass. Moment of inertia. ***

Banned for having obsolete data.

When they say "You are a nerd!" and it even doesn't come to your mind to ask "Why?"

They can measure gravity with thermometer as well. https://www.eetimes.com/measuring-a-buildings-height-with-a-barometer/ So, thermometer + watch or rope = gravity. -
These are Kerbal castes, like the bees and ants have (queen, worker, drone, soldier, lawyer, etc.) Together with their sex they define six main Kerbal genders: F/M sciensexuals, F/M engenuers, etc. Face beard. Next to the mustaches.

In mods. *** The search of "female" in 1.12.3 stock files brought 69 files containing the word "female". in the character generator, mesh names, also "kerbalEVAfemale.cfg" and "kerbalEVASlimSuitFemale.cfg".

The Fake Mod. Everyone thinks that it's a mod, but it isn't.

One God-Emperor of Dune / Lord Darken Rahl (by default was male, but represents the player, so arbitrary) in stylish BadS suit of dried blood color. The Boss. Presence is optional. A score of Fish Speakers / Mord-Sith (female) in stylish BadS suits of dried blood color. Mistresses. Officers. Need seats in the escape capsules. Randomly generated noname Kerbal serfs of nobody-cares-or-explicitly-male gender, in shabby burlap default white suits. Expendables. Don't need seats in the escape capsules. That's enough, why complicate?

Banned because it's far to midnight here.

A Vogon poem of peace, love, and understanding. I wish for Vogon art.

Paranormal More or less normal, but so-so.
-
In a single-seat Mk1 cabin, where their gender means nothing for everybody, due to the absence of that everybody. So, he can be of any gender and even add a hundred of them more, but nobody would know that anyway.

The plane-like Clipper project and a ring of eight SRB below the "plane". Normally, they were for the orbit finalization, in abort mode they were a normal pushing SRBooster. *** The Spiral project had a (single-pilot) capsule and hettisonable mini-doors in the nose top (in the shadow of the nose heat protection, so it's normal). 4 SRB on the heatshield below, two extendable trusses with mini-fins in the ends, and a parachiute to land, *** As I desctibed before, a radially-jettisonnable cabin seems for me looking good. Tu-144 has a double window. The cabin front window inside a shroud with its own window, so the pilot is looking through two windows at once. 1. Take a Soyuz-like capsule. Make front windows on top. 2. Put it horizontally. It's a plane cabin. 3. Place the seats inside, looking forward. Place the chute box at feet (so, occupying the front-down quarter of the cabin). 4. Cut a door below (in in the wall which is now a floor) to access the cabin from the fuselage. 5. (Optional) Cut a hatch in the heatshield to access the cabin from fuselage, too. 6. Attach to the heatshield a ring of SRB. It's the main LES engine. It's horizontal, coaxial to the cabin. Leave a tunnel inside to the heatshield hatch. 7. Make a nose shroud with front windows (like on the picture). Make it conform to the fuselage and streamlined. 8. Inside the shroud and in the SRB ring put two sets of rapid-turn SRBs (like on the vertically launched cruise missiles). 9. Put it all on a rectangular pod. Put the pod on the floor of the plane. The pod should have two sets of small SRB engines. One to push it radially up, an opposite one to stop it. 10. Attach tunnels to the hatches. *** On ejection: 1. The crrew gets fixed in seats. 2. The shroud and the pod get unlocked and prepared for separation. 3. The first set of the pod engines get fired and push the pod radially from the fuselage, together with the cabin, with shroud, and with teh booster. 4. Once the cabin got left the fuselage. the pod separates from it. 5. The second set of the pod engines get fired and push the pod back to its fuselage room, to release the cabin. Forget the pod. 6. The computer analyzes the cabin orientation and computes the overturn maneuver to rotate it into retrograde position. 7. The first set of the quick-turn engines get ignited and rotate the cabin into the retrograde position. 8. The second set of the quick-turn engines get ignited and stop the cabin rotation in the retrograde position. 9. The LES booster behind the cabin gets ignited and is pushing the capsule up. 10. The LES booster is out of fuel. Separation, retroengines. The cabin and the shroud are flying up. 11. On top of the trajectory (in zero-G) unlock the shroud and ignite powder charge to push out the cabin. The cabin slides back from the shroud. 12. Wait. 13, Chute. 14. Land. Should work in any case from launch to landing, including the hanging in LEO, from the overturned plane falling at maximum speed on minimal altitude.

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread

B-58, XB-70, F-111 The issues also were with uncontrollable orientation on landing resulting in broken bones, and at least in one case (F-111) with drowning in water. *** ttps://ru-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/К-36ДМ?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp Up to 3 M without the mini cabin. -
Granted. But the television doesn't let it be broadcasted. Oops. Now I see why they have finished after the midnight. *** Eye wish for propar grammer.
