totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread
kerbiloid replied to tater's topic in Science & Spaceflight
The very first picture The bottom-right corner "ИН: ТЕСТ ДПС" ("instruction: test DPS", I guess) What the Russian spacecraft is doing first after inserting into orbit? Right, it looks if any ДПС is around. -
Any impact crater enough large to have the rocks melted was in its time a lava lake.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altay_(tank) The new Turkish MBT. Not the tank itself is Kerbal, but its https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altay_(tank)#Electric_engine We did it for decade in KSP, and now somebody made an eco-friendly tank spending ElectricCharge instead of LiquidFuel, to reduce its carbon footprint and use green power. Next step - solar panels on top.

A Reusuable Sea Launched Two Stage? Better Than Spacex?

And feeds the electrolyser with H and O from the electrolyzed water. (As no nuke on board.) -
Because you hold the hand against the ear. Remove, and you will.

Those infrared horizon sensors who were uncoated. Who knows, why were they... -
Awaiting for the mods getting upgraded to 1.12.x, I have a feeling that on previous releases the mods were appearing much faster than this time. So, is it actually so, and 1.12.x brought such deep changes, that the mod upgrade needs a lot this time? Or vice versa, the 1.12.x is so friendly and compatible, that most of mods need no upgrade, so nobody cares? Just to realize, whether to start downloading them, or this time it's too early, and it's better to try later?

Translation from Russian to Russian? I read the original article, it's called "микроволновка" there. You wouldn't find it in our home kitchen, too, because it's on balcony. As well, there is no water regeneration system in their kitchen. Where they had a place, there they could put the microwave, it's just a heater. *** And btw as the toilet, the vacuum, the water regeneration, and the oven failed at once, this is the most probable place for their microoven. Next to the electrolyzer. So, all four switched off at once.

Bad science in fiction Hall of Shame
kerbiloid replied to peadar1987's topic in Science & Spaceflight
The Tomorrow War and others. (Spoiler warning) They return over and over again. Different, but still same. Evolution? Convolution? Doesn't matter. Now we can see that they are from the same source of evil. -

Correct me if the me is wrong, but looks like Kerbin is now under protection of the perspective Russian lasernuke Zeus. Text is in Russian, but the picture looks familiar. (I'm not fully sure, but in the beginning this looks like Minmus, and from 02:07 like the Kerbin & Mun.) Also the text "Text" sometimes is visible in the gaps between the models. This wouldn't happen irl... Probably... Dune and Jool are under Russian protection, too. At least, I can't remember any other green gas giant around. Was waiting for comrade Kerman, but no. Neither Jebediah, nor William, nor Robert came in to come out. Btw, what's the mod? P.S. All your bases are belong to us. -
For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread
kerbiloid replied to Skyler4856's topic in Science & Spaceflight
After the Project Horizon pdf links had been removed in wiki (I wrote about this earlier), also the Smyth Report pdf links are 404ed. Check and backup your Project Orion links, as who knows what's going to happen to them. Looks like somebody has played the retro-futuristic Fallout, and old ideas began shining in new colors. Otherwise why all this Orion hype, lol? -
The internet and computers already have allowed everything they promised in XX century sci-fi, without need to build its material implementations, and always fresh and upgraded to the nowadays sense of beauty. Just virtual. But cheap and available. Just the VR suits should get more cheaper and availabler. Anyway, after I had visited in Google Earth various famous placeous, I realized that I don't need to spend time and money on most if not all of them even I had both enough. Even my own city looks like a candy when you watch a promo, but if turn the camera a little, or make its angle wider, the magic evaporates. The same was about <the world city list skipped to be polite>. A fantasy city from above, a dusty village on street view. A fantasy palace in wiki, a dog kennel on street view. Thanks to the internet, now I know everything about this deceptive world. The termites. They are edible, they live indoors, and you even don't need to feed them, they will find something on their own.

It's a cantaloupe crust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triton_(moon)#Cantaloupe_terrain The Moon is made of cheese, the Triton - of cantaloupe. *** Probably it's too early to land there, as first they should at least have its fullportrait to define, where to land best. Also they should first check if the cantaloupe has a tail. We yet haven't seen its both poles.

"kilogram-force" and "tonne-force" aka кгс & тс were absolutely widely used in Russian before being replaced in 1970s with SI, and are still in use outside of science. The Earth shops and markets are placed in a place with ~9.81 m/s2 gravity. Scientisifc and technical application operate with masses and forces, and almost never with "weight". The "weight" is an archaic value, used only as an illiterate substitution for "mass" at a market, or for "the force pressing the pad" in other cases. Anyway it's almost never used in the high wisdom. The English-speaking engineers should do something to these obsolete abstractions. Because it never causes issues if use the accurate terminology rejecting the historical stuff. In SI and correct terminology it's absolutely exact. The "weight" can make sense when you calculate tarmac layer for the plane parking, and only just because it hasn't changed a lot since early XX when the tables were calculated, and nobody cares to replace them. In all other cases the "weight" is a colloquial substituon for "mass" and its usage is strongly discouraged as illiteracy.

Granted. You found a chocolate ice after a chococistern had overturned, and make a cream cake out of it. I wish there was not only chocolate, but also chocoearly.
