I have visited Virginia Tech and Embry-Riddle. Virginia Tech has a pretty big (and pretty nice) campus. Virginia Tech has a highly competitive Engineering Program. (Someone that interned with me at NASA, had a 3.95 GPA and over a 1300 SAT score didn't get into the Engineering Program.) Other than that, I can't really say anything, other than that it gets super cold in the winter. Embry-Riddle is, as you probably know, a much smaller school. It's pretty close to Daytona Beach, and is right next to the speedway (If you like NASCAR). They have a TON of hands on projects you can participate in and I know that a lot of their engineering graduates find good jobs easily. Really, though, where you get your undergraduate from doesn't matter too much. Engineers that I have met at NASA have education ranging from Community College and the old Apprentice program to MIT.

On steam you can go back to "Previous Stable Version." I am not sure what version it is. You go to your library, right click on KSP, select properties then go to betas. The Previous Stable Version is in a drop down tab. Again, I am not sure what version it is.

It appears that in the video something was mounted on top of the craft with a radial decoupler. I'm not sure if this would work, but you could try putting something on top of a larger craft and activating its engines and decoupling it. It probably wouldn't fly right though (it would have to have SAS and probably a remote guidance unit). EDIT: Oops, I skipped the beginning of the video. Nevermind.

I use sandbox to test things or build things I can't/don't want to build on my career mode.

"The sky appears to be mostly below us now"

I play both career and sandbox modes. I like building stuff on a whim in sandbox, but I find career more enjoyable and rewarding in general.

I had been just messing around with stuff in sandbox mode, which was my favorite thing to do. A few days ago I decided to start a career mode, and it is so much more enjoyable and rewarding.

I could probably learn to do everything fairly quickly, I'm just not patient enough for all of that.

I tend to only be able to play for 30-40 before it crashes on me. I just get off when it crashes. I would probably play for much longer if it didn't crash.

Commercial Space Flight focus is going up. A lot of aerospace is also planes though, and we always need planes. For government jobs it depends on who is in charge.

The coolest thing that I have is a 20 year anniversary Apollo 11 poster. I also have some mission coins from when I visited KSC. I have a ton of posters. Mostly of the Shuttles but also one of Saturn V. I also have some mission patches. My dad has a ton of stuff. A lot of it is from the early years of Orion, when he was a Deputy Project Manager. Though its kinda unrelated, I was at the launch of the final Space Shuttle.

Yes, the up will always stay the same.

NASA Langley Research Center, hehe sorry about that. A great website to use for finding colleges: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/ Use the College Search tool, you can look for colleges using all types of criteria. I would also look into Mechanical Engineering programs because it is my understanding that many Mechanical Engineers work in aerospace. And on the College Search tool, you get 5 times as many results.

I know that my dad has people that work under him at NASA that went to Embry-Riddle. I also know that LaRC likes Embry-Riddle and they try to recruit from there. I have been looking there myself, but its so far away from my home in VA. The only two colleges that I can find in VA with Aerospace Engineering degrees are UVA and VT.

If you pull the lever you aren't killing anyone, you're saving three people.

When I started playing, the community was great. I ended up quitting because of the way the community changed.

Zoo Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon are the best. I spent a ton of time on those games.

I killed like 4 Kermans at once in a rocket. Then I had to restart in a new one because one of them was Jeb.

You are missing "Now I know my ABCs, next time won't you sing with me."

I terminate it from the tracking station, or let it fall back.

I mourned Jeb's death, I don't care as much about the others though.

I use it for manned missions, some unmanned missions, and I test the system before putting Kerbals in craft.

I believe that I read somewhere that the world's fastest computer can do more calculations in an hour than the entire earth's population could if they typed functions into a calculator for the rest of their lives, 24 hours a day.

It's no contest. Jeb.

My Jeb is dead. I was attempting to built a replica of the space shuttle and when I detached the boosters, it went into a wild spin and then slammed into the ground. I didn't think anyone was in it because I had a remote guidance unit, so I clicked space center instead of revert flight. The only one who was in it whose name I remember is Jeb. Now I always click revert flight after a failed launch.
