  1. I am writing a thing. I suppose it qualifies as science fiction because the last bit is in space and it takes place in the future.
  2. Valles Marineris is still much wider than it's tall. I heard once that if you stood in the middle at the widest part (Melas Chasma, I think), you can't see the canyon walls because they're over the horizon. So you still couldn't tell you were at a geologic feature. Wow.
  3. What time will it be?
  4. I was reading about the star on Reddit and I found an interesting thread that I thought I should say something about here. The OP of that thread (not me) noticed that the depths of the dips in the star's light are very close to being simple multiples of each other. Here is that that thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/KIC8462852/comments/53v0iz/the_depths_of_the_major_dips_of_boyajians_star/
  5. I added a new image at the bottom of the OP
  6. Oh, speaking of which, I happen to have made a picture of that just yesterday:
  7. So I had this idea a while ago. I wanted to simulate a bacterium or something in a computer program, but without having programmed it to act like a bacterium, but it's made of simulated atoms and particles, with all the energy levels and whatnot the same, and see what it does? Like, it is a collection of many, many virtual atoms arranged like the ones in a real bacterium, and see if it acts alive or just sits there no matter what is tried to get it to wake up (whatever would work in real life). Is this feasible, and what kind of computer processing power would be needed?
  8. I think Laythe needs to look colder. Like, give it polar caps that cover a significant amount of the moon, sort of so the tropical zone is free of ice but that's it. Maybe make it actually colder too (Laythe in recent versions is warmer than it was in like 0.90, I liked the temperature better like that). EDIT: Yes I am a winter person
  9. I like this idea! Although the KSC is at the equator, so seasons might not be as evident there...
  10. Minecraft, Spore, US2 (formerly; update broke my game), various internet games, etc.
  11. What about Curiosity? It's the size of an SUV and it weighs 2000 pounds.
  12. Its equilibrium temperature is -39 degrees Celsius. That's 21 degrees lower than Earth. It's probably colder, then, even with a thicker atmosphere, IMO.
  13. Can radiation from solar flares get to the nightside? I assume it's tidally locked.
  14. Well, for there to have been gods, there has to have been a history. A backstory. What is the entire story of the Kerbals?
  15. Wasn't this mentioned in an article a few years ago? EDIT: Found the article, it's from 2013. http://www.seeker.com/does-alien-life-thrive-in-venus-mysterious-clouds-1767520286.html SECOND EDIT: Wait, the page you posted is from 2002.
  16. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/nasa-climate-modeling-suggests-venus-may-have-been-habitable There's the NASA publication.
  17. I'd give myself all the advantages you get from Minecraft's Creative Mode, with the exception that I can still eat and drink, and under very specific circumstances still be able to die. I would also halt my aging. Probably some other stuff too, like shapeshifting or something, but I don't want to make a giant list.
