I can land on the North Pole if you want...

I actually landed ON TOP of the Arch.

That\'s...so... KERBAL! -EDIT- Quick meme is back up!

Damn. Quick meme is down for me.

Sweet! I\'m very proud of myself for making something everyone can use all the time. lol. Have fun everyone!

Same with me. I have to stop myself ALL-THE-TIME. Kosmo-Not made that mistake today. We were discussing the Apollo missions and he called it the Mun a few times. lol

For some reason my bottom caption is ending up a little too high on the picture.

Since this is a meme for KSP, here is goes, right into the GD forum. If anyone wants to contribute, have fun! http://www.quickmeme.com/Jebediah-Kerman---Thrill-Master/?upcoming

Jebediah Kerman - Thrill Master MEME! http://www.quickmeme.com/Jebediah-Kerman---Thrill-Master/?upcoming Have Fun, everyone!

We should have a picture of someone hunched over their computer playing KSP with a meme caption. I have an idea... 'ACCIDENTALLY SAYS 'MUN'.... IN REAL LIFE...' 'FRIEND HAS PROBLEM AT SCHOOL? SUGGEST MOAR BOOSTERS' I don\'t know. Someone submit some ideas.

Can anyone spell 'badass'?

HOC, can you make a map like that but of the Mun? And if possible, Minmus, too?

As soon as you stop thrusting radially towards Kerbin, your velocity will change based on your orbit. Nice try, though, Ydow.

If you make a joy stick like the one in the OP, for how much would you sell it? That thing is moto.

I don\'t doubt some kind of spacecraft was there, because I know it passed the ISS. Just because an orbital module was in space doesn\'t mean anybody was aboard. I am thinking it was possible that China didn\'t have a man-rated spacecraft but they wanted to get in on this space stuff. Here\'s my promise to you. If China shows us footage of their Taikonauts in zero-g for more than 30 seconds to a minute on their upcoming flight, I will believe it\'s real.

SpaceX has help from NASA and is a private company that doesn\'t need to pay attention to politics or tax-funding. The US and USSR had a RACE. A HUGE drive to put man in space. The space race was everything in the sixties. Even IF the Chinese missions were real, it\'s too little, to late. Why won\'t they televise anything? Why won\'t they show much footage? This is the same kind of secrecy the communists keep using and it makes me think they have something to hide. I plan on putting a video together on Shenzhou 5. I\'m currently going over Chinese government post-flight notes of that mission. So far I\'ve found a few interesting things. The Apollo astronauts had no problem letting things float around for minutes at a time... They even did back flips and front flips in the spacecraft!

Curvature of Earth changes with altitude. So it can\'t be 'identical' to all others... And fake Earth shots is not hard. All you then have to do is use a green background in a studio with an SM mockup. Then put the satellite imagery of the Earth on the green and it looks like the SM is over the Earth. I bet I could do it myself, actually. They don\'t tell you they have a parabolic plane. Do you think China is going to advertise the fact that they have a plane that could be used to fake space footage? They\'re not stupid... The Earth wasn\'t in view very long. In fact, the whole video could easily have been shot in a mock-up. Have you seen Apollo 13? That looks pretty close. When we\'re talking about one minute of footage in space, that\'s easy to fake. If China released hundreds of hours of video, everything was televised and 15,000 photos like Apollo, THAT\'S impossible to fake.

Conspiracy Theories are really fun.

I personally have serious doubts about the Chinese space program, and in order to end an off-topic conversation in another thread, I\'ve started up this one. For the record ,I don\'t believe every spaceflight is fake, but I really do believe, from a scientific stand-point, that if a country wants to convince me they flew in space, they\'re going to have to give evidence. You may be thinking: Well Shenzhou 5 showed their 'Taikonauts'(?) in free-fall in the cabin-footage. Well, technically correct, but that doesn\'t mean it was in space. Here, take a look at this: Go ahead and get yourself a stop watch. Every time something starts floating, start the clock. When the footage cuts away, stop the clock. Notice that they never show anything floating for more than 30 seconds at a time? That\'s suspicious.... This is the first thing that comes to mind when someone only floats for thirty seconds! As for the Shenzhou 7 spacewalk, we can discuss that through this thread. The evidence -- to me -- seems to suggest that spacewalk was a phony. Videos purporting that the spacewalk was faked were blocked in China on youtube!

WTf

There\'s a few flat areas. My landing site on top of the arch was fairly flat and solid.

Yes. That would be nice.

lolllolololololol

Ker-bull. Gerbil with a K.

Giorgio A Tsoukalos never actually said that line.
