  1. I guess, they had not enough funds to extend their staff with a team, who would take then-current version of the game, freeze it, and deeply refurbish the code without a need to permanently support and upgrade the main branch of the project, mixing desired and required. This second team appeared in Seattle, but instead of refurbishing what's actually working without being hourly distracted by the current, actually playing customers, they did their own KSP, with kraken and kerbals, simultaneously being a reason for the new KSP owner to kill the working branch of development. If the Seattle team did that small deed instead of swallowing the whole project, then several years ago the KSP-1 would be softly replaced by more developed KSP-2, and nobody but the developers would notice a difference. Even more, they could provide Squad with money to hire the secondary team on their own. Then some good people in Seattle would not get this job, but some other good people in Mexico would get it, and probably nobody would be fired at both places on the KSP replacement, as it would be actually one team. A working game, unlike what the professionals did. Noah built the amateur ark. Professionals built Titanic.
  2. Ch-eaters have eaten all ch from the eese sandwi.
  3. If the helium leaks continue, the crew will be speaking with funny Kerbal voices.
  4. Not as cheating as the modern remake of this scene, with semi-transparent Morena's cheeks. Sometimes even a primitive rubber doll is better than expensive SFX...
  5. About two minutes. It's hard to pause breathing longer. What's the pressure at the bottom of a lunar sea?
  6. Detected the Star-Spangled Banner.
  7. When it's purring, the whole Universe shakes.
  8. Mostly nothing to translate. In accordance with the Ministry order, (in order to / for the sake of) further heavy space rockets, crewed spaceships, and orbital stations development, and (cost/resource/supplies)saving: 1. Cancel all works on the projects of N1-L3, N1-L3M (including the blocks ... and T5K), R7M, and N11. 2. Stop manufacturing the objects and payload parts at the dedicated plant. 3..7 Comrades ..., ..., ... should provide a list of experimental works to be finished, provide cancellation and conservation of manufacturing works (except the launchpad and some experimental works), return the sent personnel back to the bureaus, cancel treaties, provide suggestions on the released resources optimal usage. Glushko.
  9. It was chasing Sarah as a skeleton, thus probably doesn't need the flesh sensors. Maybe it feels pressure against its "bones", regardless of direct pressing or with some object (like the flesh) inside. Like a glove doesn't feel something. Also, iirc its damaged flesh was decaying and smelly, thus can't regenerate. As a glove, as well. *** Btw, as the bare-skinned humans with week nails and small teeth can't survive without using external objects (skins, grass, sticks, stones), we can state that our mechanically augmented ancestors have successfully eradicated the non-augmented underhumans long ago. Hail augorgs! Down with the non-augmented post-monkeys!
  10. Some put sensors overturned, some do it with attitude thrusters... I recall something like that with some valves... They confused green and blue arrows in Unity. Engines and RCS use opposite.
  11. It's even worse. The rocket tanks are welded from sheets of standard size, so the tank consists of cylindric rings of same diameter, and one or two heights. The tank heads have standard shape, thus their volume is fixed for this tank diameter. Thus: any fuel tank just approximates the required volume with some volume excess; the fuel:ozidizer tank volumes never match the engine's component ratio; in any case you have to fill at least one tank of two not fully, but to some level, to match the engine's component ratio; you actually do this with both tanks; if you have some excessive propellant, you can burn it out before liftoff, by throttling the engines; if you are a Soviet rocketeer, you can just spit out excessive oxidizer as a beautiful orange cloud. So, for every flight you recalculate the exact mass of the fuel you need from the actual payload mass, and the excessive fuel is just several centimeters higher level of the liquids in the tanks, which is anyway arbitrary.
  12. The gremlins let the flight happen in expectation of a detailed CST-100 Starliner by Sunita Williams, in addition to the ISS tours. Let' hope, it will appear.
  13. You should plant Toyota Corolla instead. Why do some bicycles cost more than a car?
  14. "You need just 2 GB of RAM to run Windows 6. See, what a nice set of gadgets is on the screen by default". By that date Win XP was typically using ~256 MB, sometimes up to 1 GB...
  15. The Xtro-verts are doing this intentionally, to turn the introverts' life into hell. They invented the so-called "soft skills" to devalue the introverts' intellectual superiority. They even deny the obvious fact that the cats are more clever than the dogs. The cats have more simple brain, but better use the firmware software. Upd. While an introvert is calmly riding along the lovely night road and thinking about really important things, the Xtro-vert is trying to catch him and initiate the process of interpersonal social interaction.
  16. Yes, probably some hydrazine leakage or insufficent oxidizer in your RCS fuel system, leaving droplet of the fuel on the engine bell. P.S. What a funny name for the RCS thrusters, "taco".
