One sentence you could say to annoy an entire fan base?

Both banned for banality.

Granted. You get a sensation. I wish for laser vision to shoot the fleas.

Ask a stupid question, Get a stupid answer back.

Every new moderator is appreciated. Everything around is KSP-related to some extent. Were there people in the Apollos which were on the Moon? -
1 pint ~= 0.5 litre 1 litre ~= 2 pints. 1 pintolitre: Each soldier. The thousand makes one step.

S&Sf crew; fallback forum community?

Meanwhile, the orbiter forum users, waiting for the Kerbal horde invasion: -
In the Glushko's encyclopaedia it's called "rocket engine on metastable fuel", and expects 25 km/s of exhaust speed. So, at least it was studied.

Those gimmicks certainly did help the game spread in the beginning - for me, a video with the terrorized looks on the Kerbals helmcams was what drew me in. The gimmicks can be of more human-like proportions to be at the same time funny (for those who needs it) and normally match the historical human spacecrafts and cabins. I can recall just several mods, where the craft parts were grotesque cartoonish. For example: Replace its head with less scary, and the limbs with less froggy, and it would be almost a Kerbal, but matching the human crafts. It may even be squatting on idle, like the humans do, to have them Kerbal-like.

Coffee with poop on? With all our respect to our customers, maybe the restaurant at the other side of the street can serve you more properly than our simple diner? Hey, sirs! Who ordered mozart? We have fresh motzarella! Battender! Two pints of fresh blood, please.

Banned for not having enough cool drinks onboard for such long travel.

Water is good against heavy particles, but is weak against gamma (primary - from the space rays, and secondary - from the heavy particles, stopped by the hydrogen of the water). As a rule of thumb, the half value sickness against gamma (cm) is 23/density(g/cm3) for nuclear blast and 13/density for its fallout. And iirc from the ESA Martian flight study, it was considered conditionally appropriate to have 27 g/cm2 protection for a 3 year long Martian travel (under assumption that the cancer won't happen before average lifespan for most of them), while here on the Earth we have 8000 m* 1.225 kg/m3 = 10 000 kg/m2 = 1 000 g/cm2 above head. The Project Horizon docs (webarchived from wiki), an interesting read, was providing for 1 m of lunar ground above the dug moonbase modules. This means 3 000 kg/m2, or 300 g/cm2. The local cheap anti-radiation vaults are computed to weaken the radiaton by 500..1000 times (i.e. being 9..10 half value thickness layers) to leave them after 2..3 days of hiding inside. So, the water protection should be several meters thick.

By the British Imperial royal standard, the sailor height must be equal to one thousandth of the equatorial angular minute, while the French may be their metric one fortymillionth if they want. Cast iron. The cannons and the cannoballs started being casted from it after XIV cent, and the cast iron artillery totally changed everything.

The Orbiter forum isn't under danger. It just exists.

The anthropomorphic frog&crab hybrids, seeing by their forehead above eyes, were nice and funny at the very beginning, when the game was just a funny rocket attraction simulator. Also it was explainable from the "big visible faces with emotions + small other parts because who needs them" cartoon making pov. It was long ago, and the absence of normal human proportions is a great disadvantage; the serious complexity of the bases and expeditions opposes silly giggling from caricature minions every next second. The Kerbals should stay in the arcade game, while the KSP has stopped being arcade years ago. At least, they shouldn't be squared.

The cats know about the laser pointer, and just pretend being unaware. Banned for underestimating the feline intellect.
