[DEVTHREAD] Deep Space Exploration Vessels
ChrisSpace replied to Angelo Kerman's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
One day, in the distant future, I will have 1.0 working on my computer, and when that day comes, I cannot wait to play with these storage tanks! -
This thread is making me hyperventilate with laughter Also, from a real conversation I had with my mum this afternoon: 'The school trip to Germany will take students from years nien, ten and eleven'

It was the setting for one of my favorite children's movies. WDYKA Indonesia?

[nib-teem-bim] A teenager TV show that was cancelled after the first episode. Every now and then we should have a vaguely pronounceable word, so... Sokatoa

I Like that plan, especially since it is different from the community cubesat or LBSP.

What Are Things You've Heard That Made You Facepalm?
ChrisSpace replied to michaelsteele3's topic in The Lounge
From my Year 9 science class: 'What color starts with 'B'?' Year 9. Also, from my American cousins: 'Antarctica is the hottest place in the world' (Then again, in America it gets hotter the further south you go, and when they came to Australia the heat was almost unbearable, so I can't blame them) -
the secret of the australian mystery signal
ChrisSpace replied to Umlüx's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Australian scientists. Enough said. -
where should there be a space mission to
ChrisSpace replied to Findthepin1's topic in Science & Spaceflight
While I would like to just throw probes all over the 'system, realistically my top choices would be: Europa: millions of rocks blasted off earth reached the surface of Europa in the dino-killer asteroid impact event alone, and millions more have arrived since. The statistical likelihood that no organisms have survived the journey and the Europan environment is quite unlikely. Under the layer of ice, which is only 20km thick on average, there is a global ocean far more expansive than any on earth. Conditions in this ocean are very similar to those of the ocean trenches and abyssal plains of earth, and in those environments on earth there are, not just microbes, but macroscopic, complex life forms, who thrive in the extreme conditions. Europa is really the last place in the solar system besides earth that could still hold undiscovered multicellular organisms. Mars: The next series of probes to reach mars should focus less on finding life and more on preparing to bring humans there. SpaceX and Mars One are already planning to colonize the planet, and many rapidly growing nations are planning their own expeditions. The primary purposes of a precursor mission would be testing fuel, water and oxygen ISRU, measuring exact radiation levels, and locating the best landing sites for human exploration and colonization. Enceladus: Similar case to Europa's, except the number of earth rocks to reach the surface is much less. This is due to enceladus' small size and gravity as well as it's distance from earth, which makes it a smaller target and means it needs a bigger 'kick' to get there. Additionally, less microbes would survive the much longer flight outwards from earth. Enceladus still holds some potential, though. Titan: It has seas of Methane rocket fuel and liquefied natural gas. Enough said. The Moon: The moon is similar to mars in terms of its potential strategic value. Like mars, the moon has water ice at the poles which can be electrolyzed into water, fuel and oxygen. The moon also has large mineral reserves, including deposits of things that are much rarer on earth, such as uranium or Helium-3. Underground lava tubes could provide natural radiation shielding for colonies. A Mineral-Rich Asteroid: A mineral-rich asteroid, even a small one, could holds hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars of platinum. Asteroids also contain minerals such as Uranium, Iron, Aluminum, Copper, etc etc. -
It's squished between France, Germany and some other country. That's Morroco. Oh, I read the name wrong, this is a little embarrassing... (quick question: can we include now-nonexistent nations eg Persia, the soviet union etc?) WDYKA Australia?

ChrisSpace replied to michaelsteele3's topic in The Lounge
It must have been either exploding sun or sunshine -
What do we do? we keep the discussion going until we have a good idea of what we are going to do and how. Will our kerbal be launched on the LBSP rocket, or a pocketqbe, or a cubesat, or something else? This could be the biggest PR stunt in squad's history and nobody even seems to care!

I have stopped playing 0.90, but I have yet to upgrade to 1.0

Come on, let's keep this thread alive!

I have bad news and I have good news. The bad news is that my short-lived KSP series will have to end and start all over because of 1.0. The good news is that I am certainly planning to make my 1.0 series better than before, and I have started roadmapping ideas for other games on the channel. For more information, see my channel update at Also, I am a bit worried by the lack of suggestions. Remember, I always need suggestions so I can improve my videos and make them more enjoyable to watch:D

'The earth is getting heavier because more buildings are being built on it' ... and where do you think the material for the buildings comes from? -
What should the first Mars City/Colony be called?

Make a wish... and have it granted as a better wish!
ChrisSpace replied to Secret Agent Kirrim's topic in Forum Games!
Granted, you also can switch between visible, ultraviolet and infared vision. And you automatically heal almost any injuries. Also you can breathe in space and produce energy internally. And you get it all for free. I wish Australia was a world power, not some other countries' puppet state.
