    6:51 PM. lol.

    Everything is brilliant, except for: - Venus' atmospheric thickness and surface temperature - Luna's size and mass, also it shouldn't be tidally locked. It needs to have a rotation similar to Earth's, 20-30 hours long. - Mars is too cold, and it needs more atmosphere, somewhere between 0.7 and 1.0 times Earth's - Minerva is too cold, and it needs more atmosphere, I was thinking the surface pressure would actually be slightly higher than Earth's - Laythe is too cold, and needs more atmosphere. Also Laythe is supposed to have marine life I see that you're already working on some of these problems, so that's good.

    I think that was Freddinno's idea, so blame him.

    I think your Death Star was just slightly too weak this time...
  6. ChrisSpace
    Okay, so long as you remember to fix everything else along the way!

    My face when I saw the thread title...

    Out of all the life-after-people events that would unfold, I think this would be one of the coolest to watch. Bonus points if you can find the wreckage. This would only work if there were a fully-fueled rocket of the manned variety just waiting on the pad. Also, if you were the only human you'd have to figure out how to launch, fly and control it all without anyone outside (in other words, without any mission control). All in all it would be possible, but not easy. Also, can someone do the math of how long one person could last on the ISS' food/water/air if it had just been refilled? Actually, that gives me an idea: Acquire the most high-isp propulsion system you can (be it an EmDrive, VASIMR, Ion engine or whatever), bring it with you to the ISS, connect up the ISS with Tiangong for extra living space, and just fly around the solar system, siphoning fuel from space probes when possible. There are probably lots of problems with this idea, but I do wonder: If the ISS and Tiangong were fully stocked with supplies, how long could you live in it? Hmm... what's the biggest computer I could fit into my makeshift spaceship? The onboard computers would probably be quite powerful, but how would they compare with bringing up a proper gaming computer? I'd probably convince myself that there are a small handful of other survivors back on Earth, but it looks like none of them had the same idea as me. Come to think of it, before leaving LEO, would I be able to see the artificial lights of the other survivors? Probably not, since it would be hard to distinguish from natural lights such as bushfires. Dammit, while you're enjoying yourself over there i'd have to worry about Spiders, Snakes, Mosquitoes, Drop Bears...

    I like this plan, with any game really. Playing Civ V on a 2048x4096 tile world, installing every mod needed to perfectify KSP/Minecraft, Building an entire fully detailed solar system in US2 with no lag, that sort of thing. I assume this is one of those 'spherical immortal human in a vacuum' type scenarios, as Randal Munroe calls it. This would be one of my favorite parts, exploring the world and uncovering all the lies and secrets kept by 'those guys'. So you'd use cloning to rebuild the world? Well with things like sperm banks and genome preservation, I don't think it's impossible. And in the meantime, you have an entire planet's worth of resources all to yourself! I think everyone has wanted to nuke something at some point. Ideally I'd want to nuke the moon, so my crater would be permanently visible. I think an even better scenario is 'what if all but 1 in 100 million people disappeared? That way we have seventy-something people who may be able to contact each other if they're smart.'

    I think we're just waiting for the SE mod to be updated.
  11. ChrisSpace
    I... Wow, you have put waaay more effort into than even I expected. Very few issues so far, but I would like to see them be solved. - Vulcan's density is unrealistically low. Also I think it should be tidally locked. - Why did you make Venus bigger than Earth rather than keep its physical characteristics in OTL? Also, why is the atmosphere thicker than Earth's? If anything I would expect it would be slightly thinner. Also, the temperature. - Luna's atmospheric pressure is a little low. Also, did you make it any bigger at all? I can't tell. - Mars' atmosphere is too thin and the planet itself is way too massive. It's supposed to have the same size as in OTL, remember? - Bellona has an unrealistically low density. - Minerva is supposed to be way bigger than Earth! IIRC it was meant to be like 8x Earth's mass with over twice its surface gravity. And where is all its atmosphere? Why don't we just not have the asteroids that took up these names in OTL?
  12. ChrisSpace
    - Facepalm - I already have SE, I just don't know how to install custom solar systems in it.
  13. ChrisSpace
    As usual you have done well. I really look forwards to you posting your download link! (Although i'm not sure how I would install it)
  14. ChrisSpace
    So now we have to wait until ----ing September?!

    I think the Sun thing was from a satire source. I think.
  17. ChrisSpace
    It'll be a while before I get to that, but in the meantime you can start coming up with ideas. To get some ideas of what different habitable planets can be like, see here: http://www.worlddreambank.org/P/PLANETEC.HTM

    The reason Mars lost it's magnetic field is that it didn't have enough Iron in its core IIRC. Yeah, the Moon and Mars templates have problems with temperature. That's why they heated up too much. Huh. Well that's a bit too far back in history to be a part of the timeline, but it's interesting to know. I think that means it was the 2060th object of its kind to be discovered.
  19. ChrisSpace
    Wait, did something like that seriously happen? Source please? Also, the timeline's Point Of Divergence (POD) is somewhere in the 1700s. Not sure where exactly. Great job, but I don't think adding the surface temperatures really says anything this far from the sun.

    The reason Mars lost it's water is that it lost most of it's atmosphere, so most of the water either dissipated into space or froze at the poles. And P9 is there under the name of 'Persephone'. Tyche's getting kicked out in the next front post update. Out to Nibiru, probably. It's now the same size as in OTL, and can still hold onto an atmosphere. The size change was mostly to make the storyline easier to work with. Why is Earth 10 degrees hotter than it currently is? In any case, i'll post stats on my US2 simulated objects after my next simulation. I was thinking the surface pressure would be somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9 times that of Earth. Hmm... This is definitely the most promising simulation yet, although I don't see how Luna and Mars could have such high albedos. Venus' atmosphere is also a bit thick, I was planning on having it the same thickness as Earth's. Oh, before I forget: When you make a simulation of one of the 'habitable' planets, it's best to use Earth as a template and change the size accordingly, because the Earth template includes some extra climate-related options.
  21. ChrisSpace
    Front post updated. Luna grew, Mars shrank, Tyche was pushed further out and Planet Nine has been added.
  22. ChrisSpace
    If you speed up time enough in US2, anything with a fast orbit will be flung outwards. And my simulations are showing that it would take a really really long time for Vulcan to dissipate. I've easily made Mars, Luna and Minerva habitable in some of my simulations. I have no idea what's going on with yours. - Facepalm - ??? Aurora is supposed to be Earth's second moon, not some kind of Aldrin cycler! Yeah, how about you leave that stuff to me? Like I said, I'm not having problems with Minerva, Venus or Vulcan.
  23. ChrisSpace
    I already have a rough draft of how to add P9 to this solar system without removing anything. I'll update the front post with it soon-ish. I can immediately see how you messed up here. But first, can you show us the stats of the planets you made? Both size/mass and atmosphere related preferably.
  24. ChrisSpace
    That article is from August 2010. SpaceX has basically changed all its plans and designs since then. Since the Raptor's thrust was downgraded, they'd need to put more Raptors on the bottom of the rocket, so the bottom has to be wider for them all to fit. This is an extreme oversimplification, by the way. I think competition with the SLS will be the least of SpaceX's government problems.
  25. ChrisSpace
    Umm, who's Alternate History project is this? In any case, I'm still thinking about how long ago the 'first ones' destroyed themselves, and how. I have a lot of work to do on this part. Good. Remember to make it look a lot like a normal terraformed Mars, including Mars' terrain in OTL. Also, do you think you'll post a download link to your progress so far anytime soon?
