  1. I use South American server cuz im Brazil the Mind of the parties!

    The Mind literally, because I made a ecologic, very fuel-efficient car engine! Held in secrecy at my workshop.

    OH YEA MY FAV SPORE STAGE GONNA INSTALL SPORE

  2. - And for those who are wondering, yes I sat on it since April. MechJeb is too messy in newer versions.

    People, when I see Kerbin from close, it is colored. But when I get into space/map view, I only can barely see a bit of saturation in the edge between the day and night!

    Oh and some toolbar textures are horrible quality in the editor.

    And the windows, UI and buttons that appear e.g. in the tutorial or Flight Results is often a gray square with hardly-distinguishable text, or something of the kind.

  3. "Heyo gentlemen navigating around and under the sea!"

    To classificate to the challenge is to build a craft that is able to submerge in Kerbin's Water, navigate and reach atleast 2m/s speed under Kerbin's Water and get back up without fatal losses or quickloads.

    The winner craft must have the best underwater speed and distance without losing any part, be fuel-efficient (winning a bonus for using a nuclear engine, as to imitate the nuclear submarines), have nice aesthetics, good waterdynamics (Ferram Underwater Research!), good safety and a nice, quick and safe deployment into water.

  4. I found another CO2 reutilizing reaction:

    gif&s=27&w=280.&h=20.

    (reaction imagery courtesy of WolframAlpha)

    Ozone is a very unstable gas, and also highly toxic, so I don't foresee a future of ozone rocketry! Also, I don't understand your point of the hydrogen not requiring an electron, in a normal hydrogen combustion reaction, it doesn't need one.

    Normally it would involve two hydrogen molecules, which would make it double fuel cost:

    gif&s=61&w=170.&h=20.

    In WWI Germans did instead included one electron in that reaction so that it only needed one single hydrogen:

    H2 + O2 + e- = H2O + O-

  5. Liquid fuel is already ecologic, but when combusting hydrogen where comburant is ozone instead of O2 the results get quite interesting:

    H2 + O3 = H2O + O2

    It has a more powerful exotermic reaction (thermical output; 1286 kJ/mol, bigger than that of standard combustion reaction with comburent O2, H2 + e- = H2O + O-), does not need one electron per reaction and oxygen byproduct can be used for life support.

    Only... where did you put my ozone layer miner you borrowed for experiments? And why is the ozone layer this rarified after I gave it? :cool:

    Bonus: CO2 + 2H2O = CH4 + 2O2, a reaction which can return CO2 from astronauts in the command module into O2 and methane, costing water and heat (it is endotermic, thermical INPUT)...

  6. Moho does not have atmosphere in the game, the same that its real twin mercury (10−14 bar.)

    Oh. I probably confused with another planet which has. Somewhere in the wiki should say some planet (might) have hydrogen in the atmosphere.

    Be depleted of hydrogen or water in earth/kerbin is impossible. Just the earth atmosphere has 15000km3 of water.

    I was saying about no way of grabbing hydrogen out from water.

    In Chemistry notation, terms, there was no e- (electrons) to do the following:

    H2O + e- = H2 + O-

    2O- + 2e+ = O2

    So you may said... I need to go to mercury, how I come back if I dont want to carry the fuel needed for that?

    Then we can talk taken the issue more seriously.

    The lander has a Docking Port of big size and magnetic/electric-charge guidance system (north/south poles, anodes/cathodes), and after retrieving hydrogen from local atmo and puting in the radial tanks, a small tank of fuel with radial Spider engines, another Sr dock and a small probe core is dropped by the Control Module to the Lander Module.

    The tank only has to use the Spiders to get slow enough to dock with the landed LM. Then it hops with the fuel remaining (Spiders are really dV efficient!) so it intersect suborbitally with the CM and docks. First it will free the LM's docking port as the tank is undocked and quick, small SRBs help to avoid it collide with the LM or CM taking it out of the way like a launch abort system..

    Then the H2 is transferred from the LM to radial tanks in the CM, the LM is discarded and the CM returns to Kerbin to condense H2.

    And yes, that strategy is based on Lunar/Münar missions but unmanned.

    If another issue is how to harvester (I cant think in a logic circustance) big quantities of hydrogen from gas giants, then I would choose neptune or uranus. So the gravity well is not so hard to overcome.

    Thank you for your suggestion! I always appreciate these.
