  1. I built a 5-kerbal speedboat by mistake. It wasn't even supposed to be a boat. [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/140619-Forgot-to-fill-the-ore-tanks-and-this-is-what-it-gives-me"]This[/URL] is the thread where I explain what happened here. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8MA1whm.png[/IMG]
  2. So. Remember the [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/139478-Sea-Car-4"]Sea Car 4[/URL]? It was a prototype for my entry into the Deep Diver Challenge. It was unbalanced and sunk. With someone in it. [COLOR=#696969]They're[/COLOR] still [COLOR=#696969]there[/COLOR] in [COLOR=#696969]their[/COLOR] sub :D. Then there was the Sea Car 4B. It was more balanced than the 4, but it explodes every time I use the transfer capsule thing. Thankfully the only person inside the 4b got into the pod connected to the ore tanks before everything else fell off the sub. It was my entry into the challenge. Anyway, I built a new one. The Sea Car 5 is a new and improved submarine. It features balanced mass, verified by the SPH's very own centre-of-mass detector. It has eight RTGs. It can theoretically fit 5 kerbals! One condition, though. If you don't fill the ore tanks, it isn't a sub. I discovered this by riding it into the water. Then I checked the tanks and voila. Dangit. XD [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8MA1whm.png[/IMG] It actually goes really fast on the water. Top speed was 40.1m/s, or 144.36 kilometres an hour. Highway speeds, or more. I decided to take it to the Island Airbase. Trip took 19 minutes ingame but I had phys warp on for most of the time so for me it was a shorter wait. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/A7RLGg2.png[/IMG] Here it is, cruising about 3/8 of the way there. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gPmicUA.png[/IMG] Approaching the island. I had to drive up a cliff. Like a 45-degree angle. It got up to 8 or so m/s on the slope. Then it got up onto flattish land and started going 12m/s. I tried to brake and this happened. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JaLw7Ag.png[/IMG] Maybe they can "borrow" some of the old parts in one of the buildings and attach some old, 0.90-year-old, rusted, dented, on-fire rocket engine to their pod and fly back to KSC. Actually, you know what, they won't be able to do that. :D
  3. I have a orbiter-lander thing called the Orbital Activity Vehicle. It has 1793.97m/s of delta-v in it and carries 4 kerbals. Its launch vehicle has varied over the times, but the main thing has stayed basically the same since 0.90. I've been using it since [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/114786-how-do-i-transfer-fuel-between-tanks"]this[/URL] and I last used it for [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/138221-Boreas-1-Landed-on-Minmus"]this[/URL].
  4. It's gravity with an M in front. Where did all the extra air in Earth's Archean atmosphere disappear to?
  5. Findthepin1 the secret XD [COLOR=#f0f8ff]THIS IS THE SECRET LOLOLOL YOU COULDNT FIND IT[/COLOR]
  6. Great job. [quote name='LadyAthena']...even made a station orbiting Jool and Eeloo for god knows why...[/QUOTE] Can it orbit Jool and Eeloo at the same time? :D
  7. Are people allowed to build bases and claim those under this law?
  8. Oh. I didn't read past the part I linked to. Thanks. XD [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] What about the transiting thing?
  9. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neith_(hypothetical_moon)#Discovery[/url] A bunch of people saw an object near Venus in the 1600s and 1700s. Since we know it has no moon, what could have been the cause of this?
  10. [quote name='ZetaX']We are not observing any unexplained irregularities in the orbits of planets.[/QUOTE] Sedna?
  11. ...ALIENS :D Lol kidding lol i troled ([I]sic[/I]) you lol Seriously, though, it's possible the core is just very large. I simulated a galaxy collision in Universe Sandbox 2 and it left both black holes with nearly no stars orbiting each. The mass of the cores didn't change of course. It could also have formed very massive, or it used to be larger and something sapped the stars of their orbital kinetic energy and they became part of the black hole. Occam's razor, as was said.
  12. Poll options: MechJeb Mon Mechjeb ----------- Bonjour, mon MechJeb! XD ----------- Alternatively, MechJebMon, use Pilot! :D jk
  13. I think it isn't true. I think they incorrectly think they are serious. I think they wouldn't listen if you tried to tell them otherwise.
  14. 653.1: A signal is sent to the planet by Kerbals.
  15. His library has computers capable of running KSP?
  16. IMO they should keep Rocket Builders.
  17. There are reports of a thing called the Orang Pendek. Some biologists think it is a descendant of Homo floresiensis. Let the discussing begin!
  18. Why not make standardized parts instead of a whole probe? That way you could customize it more. Like if you wanted to send something to land on the Moon, and you wanted to send something to land on Phobos. That's about the same delta-v. However Phobos is much further away. Then the only needed major difference is the needed antenna (Phobos is far, much farther than Moon) and possibly a heat protected core piece (Moon is quite warm on dayside). Possibly other differences. Point is, you could make a bunch of standardized sizes for various parts of spacecraft and later bolt them together based on the mission specs.
  19. The axis of rotation have to be the same on both ships. The axis of rotation must go almost perfectly through the centre of the docking ports on both ships. The ships must both be rotating at the same speed at any given distance from the axis of rotation.
  20. I think it's not worth the effort. It's much cheaper to get a regular jet. This thing, the only benefit is that it's fast. That argument, to make faster things, breaks down eventually. Such as the Internet. If they're smart, people aren't going to pay twice the cost for a 5-millisecond/mb Internet signal if they have a 20-millisecond/mb signal already. It's not worth the cost for an extra 0.015 seconds saved. If the brain can even notice the difference.

    Sad News

    [quote name='Sampa']My family was adopted by this cat..whenever I left the house to go somewhere[/QUOTE] Oy vey that's sad (;-;) my condolences -------- also what kind of cat adopts families - jk lol sorry tried to cheer you up sorry
  22. In Red Mars they crashed an ice asteroid into Mars and it thickened the atmosphere fifty millibars. There was a lot of water vapour released in the impact and the ground in the crater was outgassing as well.
