  1. Stephen Hawking? Pfft. I once read Principa by Issac Newton For Fun. Also, when you listen to "White 'n nerdy" by Weird Al and think it is a biography of you. True story.
  2. I can solve a cube, but I am not a cube myself. @Kuzzter
  3. *GASP* Oh No! The kerbulans have dimmed the sun! dun Dun DUN!! Sorry. Poor Kurt & Melgee. At least you found them before you installed Life Support!
  4. We'd play a game called Human Space Program and a thread like this would be on the Human Space Program Forums.
  5. "We, SQUAD, have no interest in making stock Delta-V readouts"
  6. A lot of the questions asked in this thread can be answered by looking at the past. Specifically by looking at the time that North America was colonized by the Europeans. Most of the basic facts are the same, such as The journey to the site of the colonization was really long [citation needed] The missions/explorations were be sponsored/run by companies (Back then tea companies, now SpaceX, etc) It was a long time before the colonies were self-sustaining Everybody going fit into two categories: In search for a better life or for the heck of it The ships they got there in were very cramped All of these facts are true/will most likely be true with the colonization of mars. I will add more to this soon(tm).
  7. I've only been around since .90, but I will point you towards the old dev blog: http://kerbalspace.tumblr.com Inside that blog, they have a series of posts about the pre-alpha phase of ksp: http://kerbalspace.tumblr.com/page/12 Hope that helps. Luke
  8. I dunno why (my guess would be b/c mono has horrible isp and hence more regular fuel would be better) but they did. Page 328 of the hardcover:
  9. The only two things about the martian movie that I think were unfeasible and that bothered me were only two things: The landscapes are horribly incorrect - everywhere Watney goes it is just dunes and these weird hill-like formations (pic) whereas we know that some places that he went (like the pathfinder landing site) are very different. He fixes the airlock hole with cellophane and duct tape. Duct tape is OK, but CELLOPHANE!? Correct me with math if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure cellophane can't hold 1ATM. (In the book he uses hab canvas + resin) There are other inaccuracies, but those are the only things that bothered me. Luke
  10. Just noticed that if you highlight text in a post, it gives you a button to quote it. Like so: ----
