  1. But Kerbin has neither countries, nor cities. Also, it sounds strange, why place F-22 in a countryside, on a dirt airstrip. And why at all do the farmers need it, Maybe it's somewhere in Canada? They have Alaska.
  2. Jeb saw cartoons and now wishes to find the launchpad. https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Launchpad_McQuack
  3. A tether lets Kerbal just relax and enjoy, instead of staying alert every second. A tethered Kerbal can't fly away and can't run out of fuel, that's the purpose of tethers since early days.
  4. Same here. Han shot first! Santos-Dumont was the first!
  5. Using rails, headwind, and finally a catapult is a cheating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_Flyer vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santos-Dumont_14-bis
  6. Banned because high overloads are required to make a crew smoothie.
  7. Bob does. Check your files. Dres Canyon National Park was hit by a bobteorite, which left a crater.
  8. *** 00:12 The ring either shades solar panels, or is warmed up by radiators, depending on what are these panels. 00:13 ... and why have nosecones in vacuum and attach an arm to probably a fuel tank? 00:15 What a strange set of glowing blue engines sitting along and sticking out through the heatshield, which in turn is very necessary for a lunar lander. (Happily the heatshield can be neither dusted by sticky regolith and start asymmetrically burning on atmospheric re-enter, nor damaged on landing onto the regolith. So, it needs neither protective cover, nor be hidden insside a landing stage). 00:16 What is this aerodynamic horror??? Based on the tulip launchpad, Russkies are such Russkies... A Death Red Star, compact edition. 00:45 I didn't watch the series attentively, but iirc the plot starts in 1969. What are these flat displays in the control room and everywhere? Where are the honest huge green things like in Fallout? 00:52 A squared reentry module is very handy. You can place beds and tables right near the walls, without ugly empy segments... 01:08 ... omg, it's indeed a lander. 01:03 Forget everything you know about rovers and combat vehicles. This is how a heavy vehicle wheel suspension should look like. It works on a tonne-heavy Persetunity, so should work on a huger device. 01:19 "A safety belt"? What's that? A lifehack. Do you know that a fire extinguisher is not just a fire extinguisher, but can also replace a safety belt when you work in zero-g? Always carry one in space. 01:26 Who's that? One could think that it's Russkies, based on their strangely looking suits. But Russkies would wear posh-red spacesuits with sickle-and-hammer and a red star on helmets. Martian marines in sea-colored camouflage? 01:30 / 01:31 The control probe room is happy that the crew flew against the wall? Was it their successful stupid joke? A remote sudden stop of rotating habitat? 01:32 Why is the pyramidlander flying horizontally? Not enough thrust to jump?
  9. Like this one. ...and once it reaches several Machs in thick air, it gets white-hot and melts down, and the air drag starts totally eating its delta-V, because SSTO is not ABM, so its high-TWR pure-fusion engine mostly heats the air around rather than accelerates the rocket. But happily, the cargo and the crew won't be fried, because first they will be squashed by overloads, as the total mass of the rocket is decreasing, so TWR grows together with the overloads. Thus, the clever rocket starts decreasing thrus to keep TWR constant, and thus it's no sense in having TWR > 1.5..2 for a crewed/cargoed rocket at all.
  10. Banned because I'm not a blender to have it.
  11. Floor 3009: a small window into the closed building.
  12. To forget in time is a cheating, too.
  13. Christine becomes Crystal. Crystalline Hill
  14. Granted. But now you need a lot of frogs to feed them. I wish for quick enlightment.
  15. The farther are the rotation axis and the rotation plane from CoM, the greater and non-linearer will be angular acceleration on every maneuver. This will cause precession of the torus and thus greater friction, tension, and bending forces, which can lead to mechanical damage and to chaotic flying of objects in the rooms, or even a sudden rotation stop and wallbreaking of passengers. Due to huge size of the normal artificial gravity system, any maneuver should be performed very slowly (and ideally AG should be working only in the interplanetary drift mode).
  16. Back in my day the 1 kopeck coin existed and you could buy a box of matches (60 pieces) or "Pionerskaya Pravda" newspaper with it. Or a glass of soda without syrup from the drink trading machine with glassy glasses washed in mini-fountain by everyone using them.
  17. If take several antigrav repulsors and put them around the nozzle, we can use pure fusion by squashing the pellets with antigravity.
  18. And a resistor, if he didn't.
