I probably should have known that... Fact: Blue eyes only evolved in humans about 5000 years ago

Almost no sci-fi spaceships are symmetrical or aligned with their center of thrust. Also, many of them either have aerodynamics but don't need them, or have no aerodynamics and need them (for an example of the latter, Serenity)

All the achievements you mentioned happened a long time ago. Even rosetta, while completing its mission very recently, was funded, built and launched back in the ESA's golden age. Now Europe simply has too many other problems and distractions to worry about space. The two are only 100-199 points apart. And Russia puts a larger fraction of its economy into the space program, and uses it as a good source of national pride, since it is one of the few things they do better than America/Europe India's space program has two main problems. Firstly, it is not very well known compared with Rocosmos or NASA. Second, the nation has a lot of poor and starving people who strongly think the Indian government should be helping them more rather than exploring space. Probably near India, maybe a bit above. Japan has a very prosperous space program for it's size and budget, yet at the same time Japan has many more important issues to focus on, such as an ageing population, a declining population, demographic problems, and two nuclear-armed enemies to the west.

Here is a quick breakdown of what we could strap onto a spaceship with our current technology: Artillery-like Naval turrets Electromagnetic Railguns Multi-megawatt laser turrets 100 megaton nuclear missiles Particle beam weapons Electromagnetic pulse bombs Air-to-air (or rather, space-to-space) missiles Thermobaric explosives Hypervelocity kinetic kill rods Exosuits, M1A1 tanks and battle robots for the lunar surface

This ad is f**king brilliant! A perfect way to use space to advertise a product. Much better then the beans ad with the giant moon monster.

Oh. Did he really? Fact: The average American is 8 times more likely to be killed by an armed police officer than by a terrorist.

The sun is made of Jell-O. It is bright because the moons light reflects off it.

You sit on a chair covered in red-hot glue from the inside of a glue gun. After hours of intense pain, you are given a choice: Either you are glued into the chair forever or you undergo surgery to have your behind removed, without painkillers. I read George friedman's book the next 100 years. WTWTCH?

Has more posts than me, has been around longer, and I recognize the sig.

Banned for having multiple words smushed together in your name without any spaces.

No Angel-125?

I just want to say I love this game. You can even play as polandball!

NASA: sways from -900 to -999 SpaceX: around 100 Chinese space agency: around 200-300 Russian space agency: -800 Indian space agency: 0 ESA: -999

3 months and counting.

Umm... sure... Fun fact: 20% of people claim to have food allergies. Only 2% actually do.

My personal favorite, by far, is Dragon v2. Unlike Orion it is going to be successful and can/will be used for interplanetary voyages.

Keep talking, which countries are you referring to? I must know... Fun fact: Ostriches can be trained to herd sheep. Emus can't.

All these photos look magnificent! Most of the time it just looks like a white sphere, and it is nice to view its actual terrain.

Australia can into space.

Well, today mum brought me out just in time to see it again. I got an app now that shows where all the satellites and space stations are from my location, and I think I might get a few tiangong sightings soon:D

I am! Please tell! Also, the other day my friend and I were discussing if the aliens defecate. I mean, we never see toilets on their spaceships, so...?

I would do it right away but I can barely even record/edit/upload my videos with all the assignments and tests coming up. Expect big improvements during the holidays. My friend harry, also known as ThatHarryGuy. We have already begun a youtube arms race to see who can amass popularity faster. He currently has 6 subs. He may not do KSP but, still, rivalry. I like it when people say this, but remember that this channel is as much about me as it is about my subs and what they want.

You didn't check the expiry date on the sandwich ingredients. You simultaneously die from Salmonella and E. Coli. I see the ISS flying over my house, WTWTCH?

This evening, about half an hour ago, my mum asked me what time it was and when I told her, she immediately rushed me outside. At first I was like 'Have we forgotten to get the bins out again?', but then she pointed up at the clear sky. Since there are no bins in the sky, this got me quite interested in what mum was trying to show me. And then she told me, and I saw it. I remember back when I was a little kid, every night I would come out with my telescope to look at the moon and sometimes other space things. It was cool to observe the lunar landscape, with the valleys and mountains and craters and highlands and ballast flats. At other times I saw the couldy stripes of Jupiter, and the jovian moons. I think I even saw venus or mars once. But I never saw something man-made, never a satellite or space station. That was all I wanted, to see something while its 'alive'. Tonight, I saw it. The international Space Station, right there before my eyes. A true symbol of what the world is capable of in space, when we stop fighting and work together on something. Sure, I saw the decommissioned space shuttle at the Kennedy Space Center 2 or 3 years ago, along with a bunch of other cold-war relics. But here was an object, an operational human station that was operational right as I saw it and had people inside right as I saw it. This was the first time I had seen anything like that. It gave me a feeling, a kind of emotion, that I had not felt since the Kennedy Space Center, or when first saw the lunar landscape through a telescope and thought 'people have actually gone there'. Anyway, enough about me, have any of you seen the ISS before? Or any other satellite?

It is interesting how- -Wait, what, okay this just in: Tonight, about half an hour ago, my mum rushed me outside to see the ISS passing over, and I did see the station with my own eyes! It basically looked like a moving star, but to me it was... beautiful. A perfect symbol of what can be achieved when the world works together instead of killing each other. That brief minute or so when mum and I saw it coming over, it was quite emotional.
