[Ert-44]

*sees ship from interstellar*

Loosely based, eh?

[The KSP Forum Plays Spore!]

Moar boosters.

[Im going to the Visitors Center at Kennedy tomorrow!]

You should have tried to buy NASA...

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

There is a mohole on Nissee.

[[1.2.1] Outer Planets Mod (2.1) - Active development has moved, see first post for new thread]

What's inside that GameData 2 folder? There may be components in there that need to move up to your regular GameData folder.

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.

Also, there appears to be a Mohole on Nissee.

[The Floating Rocks Club]

I saw one on Laythe once. I was driving a rover to the sea.

[If you could redesign/improve the Kerbol System, what would you do?]

It was widely known that Venus had no oceans ( or any liquid surface ) far before we even had launched a satelite, just by analysis of the radiation Venus sends back.

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.

[What if NASA was merged with the USAF?]

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.

[Anything can be rocket fuel, if you try hard enough?]

Let's use the OP as rocket fuel!

jk

[Can Kerbol system exist in the real world]

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.

[What's the furthest planet or celestial body you've visited?]

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.

[If you could redesign/improve the Kerbol System, what would you do?]

Even though the winds can reach hundreds of km/h on Mars, the low atmospheric pressure means that the impact of those winds is not much more than a steady breeze on Earth. It would be unrealistic to have Duna winds blowing off unretracted solar panels.

Duna's atmosphere is twenty times thicker than Mars'.

[How long would it take to build today's technology?]

13.82 billion years. Based on empirical evidence.

[[1.2.1] Outer Planets Mod (2.1) - Active development has moved, see first post for new thread]

The same thing is happening to everybody on the page

[Real Life Minmus Mission]

Our moon does do that

[Real Life Minmus Mission]

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.

[[1.2.1] Outer Planets Mod (2.1) - Active development has moved, see first post for new thread]

So after downloading, i go to my space center and instead there is just blackness... and when i warp in the SC all the stars show up and no ground, buildings, etc. This issue happens regardless of other installed mods.

Here is a pic:

also this does not happen with other planet packs installed

EDIT: never mind guys, I got it to work

Another Edit: Ok, now I'm am trying to download it again, followed all the steps and still get the same issue

This is identical to what is happening in my save. I don't know how to fix it.

[[1.2.1] Outer Planets Mod (2.1) - Active development has moved, see first post for new thread]

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?

[Can Kerbol system exist in the real world]

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.

[Kron series (Kron 6 end of mission) - temporary halt of program]

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.

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

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.

[What's the furthest planet or celestial body you've visited?]

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.

[If you could redesign/improve the Kerbol System, what would you do?]

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?

[Kron series (Kron 6 end of mission) - temporary halt of program]

My Dres probe is gonna take 96 more years to reach its target. It's already been 48.

[Long-term Laythe Mission (pic heavy) - ^_^ With Part 45 ^_^]

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.
