lol I didn't do anything- I've got too much Biotech and Science Fair hw

@MatterBeam That's not actually that much... it's amazing what science can do @SaturnianBlue If you want to read through this report, it's a modern-day (so a bit in the past) concept that I did for school last year. However, it may help. I spent a good quarter year working on that thing (and ended up getting a 100%), so it's very refined word-wise, but there may be some info you want. https://docs.google.com/document/d/14wcTrGn4DNq0DCRU1ejzGKgtE5AJfCg539nl3jyfHco/edit?usp=sharing -
Sorry, but I'm going to be that person... The North POLE

Those are very big rings that planet must have incredibly high gravity...

Kerbin Elcano Exploration Project - Epilogue

I envy your talent of taking something so simple and making it so awesome -

@MatterBeam an interesting point about the exhaust velocities- I hadn't thought of that. However, the aerobraking would only be at the end of the journey, and it would decelerate towards the planet before hand. The amount of thermal energy released from slowing down from 0.2c to 2750 m/s would be incredible Deuterium-Tritium is used in Hydrogen Bombs today, but H-3 would be more effective. I was thinking that if I could magnetically accelerate the H-3 and Deuterium to incredible speeds with a 500 meter long engine, it may work. Would that be possible?

totm march 2020 So what song is stuck in your head today?
Kosmonaut replied to SmileyTRex's topic in The Lounge
Well, I was bored, and decided to ruin Lovely by twenty one pilots. After about 15 minutes of screwing around, I got this: https://goo.gl/EUVfXi And now the original is stuck in my head I've been listening to their Regional At Best album a lot because it helps me deal with my stress, so I've also had these two stuck in my head today: ^^That's probably my favourite song right now^^ -
Yes, I suppose- I was just going for cheap and easy exploration. The way I designed it was as the first starship, so it wasn't really meant for laser installations at the other end https://imgur.com/a/xpnwh A mission profile of the launch profile of the IISEV Madame de Pompadour

I made a concept for an interstellar vessel for eight, recently, and within the next few months, I will be engineering it for school. What I did, is I had a massive Tandem-Mirror Nuclear Fusion Engine using Helium-3 and Deuterium, which can be taken from the Moon. That would do an initial, massive burn, and accelerate the ship to around 0.2c. Then, there would be a large array of Ion Engines, which would burn for the duration of the trip, accelerating up to the 0.75 point in the trip, before it turns around, and starts to decelerate. The rest of the deceleration could be done using the Fusion Engine, Aerobraking, and Gravity Assists. It's a low-tech, and relatively cheap way of doing it. You could also consider using the Ion Engines coupled with an Antimatter Engine, or the Tokomak Engine

Science done right. Good job
-
Yes- you could use, however, the space missiles ('re-done as I mentioned) as long range missiles, and maybe the hellfires as shorter range ones for space fighters. Then you could have varying sizes on the Air Force Laser for different sized ship.
-
Here's an idea- edit the config files. Even someone like me, who knows nothing about programming, could easily do that. I have done it. Just use the air force laser, up the range and the power. You could also solve the missile problem by converting them from HEKVs (High Explosive Kill Vehicles) to KKVs (Kinetic Kill Vehicles). Make them smaller, but faster and with a better range, and make the model much simpler. Perhaps just a rectangular prism with a rocket on the back. Should be simple enough (maybe)

Is that a Gemini Soyuz with a Long March launcher? Cool
-
Yeah the whole reason behind the underwater part was the radiation Perhaps Laythe has a bad magnetic field like Io Also there's just more room if u use the oceans. Yeah, but you know what happened to those mirrors Thoughts on the new doctor (without spoilering s10 pls I haven't seen it) I'm a fan btw
-
I don't know if Laythe has oceans deep enough- besides, they're far away from Kerbol, and the whole point of spiral cities is to be farmable. I was thinking of this: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Drum Some more basic info there isn't much or this: A portable mining facility from The Abyss Read the comments
-
I've always wanted to see that- I saw someone do a mid-sized base that way, but never anything more than long-term housing for 6-8 Kerbals. Perhaps Submarine Cities as well. Pretty sure Laythe doesn't have a magnetic field (the only explanation behind it's habitability but deadness) so you have to protect from the radiation somehow. It's all possible using KAS

No they've just got an incredible computer
