  1. GameData 2 contains: LICENSE_Kopernicus.txt LICENSE_OuterPlanetsMod.txt ModuleManager.2.6.7.dll ModuleManagerLicense.md OPM (folder) By the way this is all on KSP 1.0.4 on a Mac. EDIT: YES IT WORKED!! THX. I HAD TO MOVE "OPM" FROM GAMEDATA 2 TO GAMEDATA. BTW MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK LOL. - - - Updated - - - Also, there appears to be a Mohole on Nissee.
  2. I saw one on Laythe once. I was driving a rover to the sea.
  3. They were designing Venus landers or descent probes for the possibility of landing in water until about 1964. By the way, happy Back To The Future Day.
  4. We'd have an army base on Luna. Fly all the stuff needed for it 400000 km for the sole purpose of firing a missile ANOTHER 400000 km where it then has reentry and hits a very specific spot on the ground, still completely functional. It'd cost billions of dollars, but that's NASA for you.
  5. I used a calculator at astro.twam.info/hz/. I put Kerbol's parameters into it from the wiki information (5840 K, 5.67E24 watts luminosity, 9.148 Jupiter masses). According to this, Kerbol's habitable zone is like this: Approximate inner habitable zone limit: 0.085 AU Approximate outer habitable zone limit: 0.217 AU This means Eve, at 0.0657 AU, isn't a stable environment. While the majority of the planet can support liquid water, there are areas on the equator that go slightly above the boiling temperature of water at periapsis. Based on this climate graph of Eve, this area is always under 1km elevation at the equator, or 500 meters elevation at 10 degrees north or south. If Eve's oceans are water, there might be transient boiling of the oceans a couple weeks a year in this area. This would add to the greenhouse effect and widen the area, starting a small but accelerating positive feedback effect that evaporates the oceans and thickens the atmosphere and Eve ends up more like a super-Venus. If 35% of Eve's surface (my guess) is ocean averaging 3 kilometres deep (again my guess) gives me 6468000 cubic kilometres of water, which weighs 6.468E18 kg. Based on Eve's atmospheric mass and pressure, the extra gas would increase the surface pressure to 170.2 atm. That's it for anything on Eve, then. Kerbin is within the habitable zone, at 0.091 AU from Kerbol. It's fine, although it's quite near the inner edge. Surprisingly, Duna is closer to the centre of the habitable zone than Kerbin is. Duna is at 0.138 AU. Dres dips almost to the outer edge of the habitable zone, with a periapsis of 0.233 AU. Moho, Jool and Eeloo are far from the habitable zone. By the way, this means we may or may not need another explanation for Laythe's anomalously high temperature.
  6. Furthest, either Laythe or Pol. Closest, on the other hand… SUN LANDER I MISSED IT I MISSED IT That's my first KSP video, about 377 days ago. I used cheats on the Pol trip I mentioned, and on the Sun Lander. The furthest I've gone legitimately​ is Laythe.
  7. Even if it is easier to reach Minmus than the Moon, I think that we still would have gone to the Moon. The Moon is a big rock in the sky and Minmus is a little green dot. People would consider the Moon a much more significant object for this reason, and reaching Minmus wouldn't really make people awed because we can't easily see the place with the event.
  8. I have installed this mod. I also have HyperEdit and TextureReplacer. The game loads fine, and every time it loads a thing pops up that says ModuleManager has made 28 patches or something. I can go into one of my save files and it'll show me a view of space instead of the KSC. Sometimes the Mun is in the picture, sometimes Minmus, sometimes the sun. The image is very slowly rotating around an axis that is behind the camera. Half the time, the skybox disappears and the background is completely black. HyperEdit says in its Planet Editor that Sarnus, Urlum, Neidon, and Plock exist, but that none of their moons exist, and I can't go to the Tracking Center to confirm this because as I said I can't see the KSC from the KSC. What did I do wrong? My GameData folder looks like: GameData 2 Kerbaltek Kopernicus.0.4 ModuleManager.ConfigCache ModuleManager.ConfigSHA ModuleManager.Physics ModuleManager.TechTree NASAMission OPM Squad TextureReplacer-2.4.10 "GameData 2" is the folder that I was given when I extracted the OPM zip file. What did I do wrong?
  9. Maybe Kerbol isn't fusing. We have no proof that it is, and AFAIK nowhere in the game has it been stated that Kerbol is fusing.
  10. It looks like it's in some sort of near-resonance with Dres, and isn't in the right plane. I could correct it with an hour or so (on 4x warp) of ion engine running, but I'm a busy person and have other things to do than sit for an hour watching little subatomic particles try to propel half a ton of ship to Dres. I called it Don.
  11. Do you think we'll reach page 2016 before 2016? I think we could, but we'd have to be really KSPish in the next two-and-a-half months to do it.
  12. I sent a rover to Laythe once. I called it the Laythe Nacho. It had four extra tiny wheels that didn't touch the ground and weighed it down. I noticed this intriguing design feature during parachute descent into the central basin of what I know only as Dansen Island (named by Brotoro in his Long-Term Laythe Series). That's the furthest I've been from the centre of the solar system, genuinely. Adding the word "genuinely" to the previous sentence is necessary because I also sent a kerbal to Bop using cheats, that was the mission that found the [REDACTED], and Bop technically gets further from the sun than Laythe. P.S. I think the [REDACTED] on Bop originally came from Laythe. It was probably thrown off the moon by a volcanic eruption or a large impact, and ended up on Bop.
  13. If you could redesign/improve the Kerbol System, what would you do? If I was asked this question, I'd probably say something along the lines of I think Laythe should look like this And that Eve should have a tall, continuous Iapetus-like equatorial ridge, and liquid water at high latitudes. And that Vall and Minmus should look more like real icy objects (i.e. white, not blue), something like Eeloo. And that Eve should have oxygen, though barely enough to fly planes at low altitudes. And that Duna should have little lakes at the lowest altitudes. And that Eve should have global low-lying purple thunderstorm clouds, and sparse high-altitude white cirrus clouds. And that Kerbin, Laythe, and Duna should have regular clouds. And that Jool, Eve, Kerbin, Laythe, and Duna should have weather (i.e. lightning (except on Duna), rain (purple on Eve), etc.) And that Kerbol should have solar flares. There's probably more, but I can't think of any right now. Maybe a modder out of ideas will like these ideas, I say they can use my ideas. What would the KSP Universe be like if you had created it?
  14. My Dres probe is gonna take 96 more years to reach its target. It's already been 48.
  15. Now that 1.0.4 has been out for months, are you going to continue the series? I really liked reading it and wish there was more.
  16. In my opinion, if it's artificial, it's likely been there for hundreds of millions, or billions, of years. Whoever built it is probably long dead. From the irregularity of the actual data, I am going to guess it's a ruined Dyson Sphere that a planet crashed into hundreds of millions of years after its construction, that was left spinning with at least one big hole in it (depending on the material of the planet and that of the structure) for hundreds of millions of years more until we noticed it. Another, much more unlikely IMO, version of this theory is that it's a Dyson Sphere under construction, but this would be an astronomically () large coincidence because it would mean the two civilizations arose (out of a more than 13 billion-year opportunity window) within a few centuries of each other. We should watch it to see if the brightness variations change over the next 50 or so years, or if we can build a telescope that can actually see it, do that for the same reason. If the structure seems to grow, it's under construction and we should attempt to contact the civilization. Not that they'll be likely to hear us in our radio waves, but it's worth a try. I think they'd have had to get all their world leaders to cooperate with each other in order to build something like this, which means by extension a type 2 civilization probably won't even think of conflict with us if we "talk" to them peacefully. Although it's like: "Hey, do you think any aliens will see this thing?" 413 AD "Hey KIC8462852ers! We're here, we exist!" 2015 AD "Look, a radio signal. Must be natural, nobody uses those anymore." 3466 AD "Maybe it wasn't a natural signal. Maybe it was ALIENS. I'm sending a return message with this makeshift radio. Looks like it came almost straight from LOL1749472940 d, I've always though that wasn't as good a candidate as c, but maybe I'm wrong. This simulation can't be." 3502 AD (reference) "Hey, I've got a signal on this ancient piece of technology, the iP-n 14. I'm surprised, it's the last thing ever made by a very-nearly-3000-year-old organization and it still works. Says Hey aliens, come join our civilization club! We'll tell you how to build an instant messaging system so we don't have to wait 1200 years, sorry 1500 of your years, to have one small Speak-n'-Spell exchange using a code made with the properties of hydrogen. Here are your instructions on how to do that, and we'll get your reply instantly after you send it. We'll send you blueprints for all our technology, and any extra knowledge too, if you do the same for us. Also, we want to talk to your world council, because they might want to join the Group, that's what we call our group of civilizations here. We're the second, you would be the ninth (again reference). Here follows your instructions for the instant messaging system, to begin with you will need access to a Calabi-Yau space and something massive that can vibrate..." 4953 AD …And so on and so forth. As you can see in this fictional scenario, it took almost 3000 years for us to be able to have a real-time conversation.
  17. Early Earth? 230 degrees Celsius and a hundred ATM of carbon dioxide and a little bit of nitrogen. Oh yeah and the acid. And the tidal waves from the Moon being an inch from the ground. And the thunderstorms. And the constant meteorite impacts. Have fun Also, you should try doing it in Mars conditions if you have time. btw when you're done with that please try it in Duna and Eve conditions lol
  18. Jool rover or Kerbol rover, you choose. seriously try a gilly mission with kerbals, was my first manned interplanetary mission.
