Awesome thanks.

I wish this game had a tutorial on how to build a relay network so that I would just chill because this game is more work than play.

Thanks I didn't know that, I would always use pilot/engineer/scientist. But then I would have to learn how relays work, and they probably have nothing in common with how real relays work.

It took me a whole day to install mechjeb2. Once I was really good at editing and modding stuff, but now my brain simply rebels against any kind of virtual complexity,. I sold my laptop and lasted 6 months just with a phone and tablet. I'm extremely tired of bickering with technology.

Problem solved, engineers can't do maneuver nodes. Only pilots or mission control if there is a signal. whoopdeedoo.

I think I found the problem. The whatshisname piloting the vessel is an engineer, I assume they cannot plan maneuvers. So I will have to start over.

I forgot I also changed communontron 16 antenna for HG-5 high gain antenna because I assume it is better

So I'm back here playing the pain simulator. I can't find the reason why this happens. I went to eeloo with mk1 had no signal problems. The only thing I changed was the mk1 command pod for 2 mk1 landing cans so I can fly manned and rescue whatshisname

Hello Gav you're still alive. Sorry that is my informal greeting. I think I need 2 nukes to save fuel going to Minmus or even Mun. It is hard to balance oxidizer and liquid fuel using rapiers.

Thanks bewing 1. Can you go to Minmus with mk2 and 2 rapiers? What twr I will need? I reckon I will need more wings... I did tried just rapiers but was out of fuel half way to minmus. 2. Although I gain speed after 30km I lose altitude, even if I make it to orbit I lose all my fuel. I may be too heavy even at 1 twr? 3. Single Stage that's why lol. I remember there was a wing formula, I'll have a look maybe on wiki

I haven't played this math simulator in a very long time in fact I was sure I will never return to it as I hate math. I did landed ssto on Duna but that was a long time ago and I forgot all about the nightmare that it was. Now I'm trying to build something practical to go to Minmus but I want to take processing plant with me so I will need mk2 cargo bay. 1. Does CoL has to be before CoM or after? How far? 2. I remember using wing incidence but what about the engines attached to the wings, should they be parallel with the fuselage? In the Skylon design they apparently do not. 3. Whats the best engine combo for ~30 tonnes? I got experience with 2 nukes and 2 rapiers at 33 tonnes but it seems I can no longer replicate it. What speed do I need before 30km? If I reach 1500m/s at 10 degrees the prograde falls to 0 and there's nothing I can do to raise it without losing control. 4. How important were wings? Skylon is almost wingless, not that I seen it actually fly.

I suppose it does. But there is a theory that Earth was hit by a rather powerful solar flare sometime around the end of the last glacial period. There's a lot of evidence too that cannot be explained in any other way.

But will the air be breathable? What about a massive solar plasma blast? Would that create a fallout?

So 200 years eh? Pretty gloomy. I want to agree with Scotus, that southern hemisphere will be less affected and will recuperate quicker, yet I feel like I'm grasping at straws here, the Earth after all is one big ecosystem, an island made of islands, and in time the the pollution will even out all around the globe, right?

If 1962 had a worst-case scenario, how bad and how long do you think the irradiated environment would affect the survivors? A year, ten, or a century?

What do you mean by exchange? Oxygen and other elements can be supplemented isn't it? Sounds like a very ambitious project, can't imagine how buggy it will be lol... I had so many game ideas but never got past forcing myself to learn coding in javascript, tried unity but already burned out from learning javascript. Still wait for a future where robots will code for me lol

Seems like dna is naturally lazy and needs a kick in form of radiation. You could say it is life on the most basic level and we are here only to spread dna.

Fascinating. That black mold could be our legacy if we won't make it for some reason.

This is a bit too sciency for me but I'll try. In relation with radiation and evolution are we talking about free radicals? A bit of chaos to spice things up? Wiki says ex-rad works with damaged dna as it is more effective than "scavenging" for free radicals. That is a very interesting plot device. I am a believer that we're still evolving. We can only look back and when we compare ourselves with primates we get a feeling that this is it, we made it, buuut I'm not so sure. In anyway, we have evolved to be resistant to some forms of radiation, but with some help from bio-engineering I think we can accelerate and tweak this process if the need will arise... Mechas are fun but I'm looking at global disasters and not so much local ones.

I see. What if humans would have a weekly cell cycle like cockroaches, I mean I have no idea if that is possible but what if we could, would we then need substantially less protection? Hmm evolved cockroaches, this reminds me of District 9... Would we willingly mutate to better adapt to our environment?

Why won't we go to Mars total recall style, the brain won't know the difference. Plus anyone can go. I just googled the 2020 mission and it's a rover mission in preparation for the 2030 manned mission so we got time to go there for real. Yeah we're getting there said a flea.

So in theory there can be no technology that can make a space suit protect you from gamma and x rays...

I'm doing a research for a story/novel depends how far I will go, and I'm thinking which suit would be more protective of gamma radiation. Year is not important, but I would like to see the actual suit, it could be one of those first shiny suits made by nasa or soviets, or the modern ones, whichever is more effective. So far I have found out that lead is not the best element but cheapest and elements like gold, tungsten, mercury are better against gamma radiation. The suit should be practical too. I mean a lead suit which is two inches thick would be too heavy to even imagine.

Platypus paws down indeed.

I listen to soma fm radio mostly, their deep space one station.
