    I went whale watching.

    Good luck on today's launch. Keep us all posted, if you'll mind the pun.

    That's Clayborne

    I think it's Titan now.

    Okay I got another one that is unrelated to the last one I said. This one: If there is life on Titan that is capable of sight, it will be able to see in infrared. That way, it could see the celestial bodies in the sky. Useful to navigation if you can see the stars or the Sun or Saturn. Those that could see in IR would probably live longer (they can migrate) and be more successful leading to natural selection.

    I got one about creating objects to be very, very high speeds. I don't know yet if I can get it close to the speed of light, but I think it is possible. You can convert matter into energy, correct? I assume you can also convert energy into matter. Take a whole lot of photons (which have no rest mass and travel at c) and make them into matter with a whole lot of precision. Done. I think if you do this right, you can have a proton or an electron or something that is traveling at some fraction of c. I also think I might be wrong because I'd have heard about this if I were right. Let me know

    Where are the struts?

    Haven't done any research here, but I don't think it's that difficult to see what's in an exoplanetary atmosphere. You just need to be able to get a light spectrum from it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    As far as I can tell, the solar system is basically done. There aren't any major modifications left to make to have the science work properly.

    I have an idea for KSP's planets and moons I may or may not post later. I find it very likely that Venus' upper atmosphere has some form of life. It is, hands down, the most Earthlike environment in the solar system besides Earth itself. But I think it'd be water-based like Earth's life because it's simpler for life to only have arisen once, then been transported to the other place. So, water-based life on both.

    Wait, what? I downloaded something from KerbalStuff last night.
  12. Findthepin1
    There is the issue of life, though. An impact like that would kill just about everything not microscopic. How is Kerbin so filled with life now?
  13. Findthepin1
    Perhaps it has none. It might be too small. The existence of the really big crater, coinciding with the widespread existence of life, seems to me to be evidence that the geology of the planet hasn't significantly changed for billions of years. For perspective, if Earth's cities were projected onto Kerbin's globe, the crater's width would be comparable to the distance from London to Helsinki, or New Orleans to Toronto. The impact would have killed basically anything bigger than microscopic, assuming life existed at the time. Yet Kerbin is full of life today. That crater, then, has been there for a long enough time that life can become a good-sized biosphere from nothing but microbes (or no life at all). Again, billions of years. So the fact that the crater hasn't been wiped out by plate tectonics in such a long time seems to imply that Kerbin is geologically dead.
  14. Findthepin1
    What about the tectonic plates themselves? Where do those lie on Kerbin?

    I'm going to assume that a lot of the people who submitted payloads through the Google form (myself included) put in potential launch dates that have become undoable. How will all the launch dates be scheduled, and will all the payloads be sent up?

    The Europa poster has Titan's description at the bottom. XD

    Just three words. Let him play. Simple as that. Trial-and-error. Glad to help.
  19. Findthepin1
    What is LIGO EDIT: nvm it's geavitatipnal waves! Good for them!
  20. Findthepin1
    It would not be in Earth SOI. Minmus is 4 times as far away as the Mun is to Kerbin. Something 4 lunar distances from Earth wouldn't be in a stable geocentric orbit, if a geocentric orbit at all. It would end up orbiting the sun as a thousand-km-wide Apollo or Aten asteroid/dwarf planet. Basically Charon moved to be a Near Earth Object. My guess is it would be eventually get into a resonance with Earth or Venus, or Jupiter, or collide with something.
  21. Findthepin1
    Too large a risk for me. I try very hard not to send anything with retractable solar panels because they're so easily breakable and you can't fix them.

    Mini-Kerbal

    Excellent piece! It's made out of air dry clay? You did well.
  23. Findthepin1
    IIRC it's always inside the sun.
  24. Findthepin1
    How are you going to get people to see this? There aren't a hundred thousand people in this forum.

    Laythe has a lot more land than I expected, if all of the land is useless there must be another reason besides the tides. Would it be volcanic? If there was enough volcanic activity, that would make the air unbreathable because of CO2 and SO2 etc. from the volcanoes regardless of oxygen content, it would likely release some kind of super greenhouse gas (volcanoes emit some weird stuff), it would provide energy to life in the oceans, and it would create volcanic mountain chains( like the Hawaiian Islands but entirely on land) which in some cases could block tidal waves from reaching inland. You could lessen the atmosphere because you won't need as much to heat the moon up. So if volcanic activity exists, you can likely see habitable land areas and life in the oceans, but you'd never be able to breathe the air.
