Um. Well then...it seems we have established that Superman has Superfarts. Thank you for this.

Granted. (Hey, you were asking for a paradox!) I wish for all moon-landing denialists to be brought to a nice, big, self-sustaining moon colony where they can live comfortably listening to Carl Sagan's calm voice and exploring in rovers and EVAs until they realize the moon really does exist, Earth is a sphere, and there is an unimaginable number of totally unknown worlds out there and it's awesome.

Thursday: song complaining about how is not Friday yet. (Friday)

I think a lot of people know about this from having flown over it (like me), but I don't think many (if at all) have actually exploited it's existence for fun and/or profit.

Ion Man: The thrilling life story of the inventor of the IX-6315 "Dawn" Electric Propulsion System. Lie of Pi: conspiracy documentary about how the number pi doesn't exist and was created by the illuminati, bla bla bla mind control waves bla bla tin foil hats bla aliens. Harry Otter: about an otter named Harry. X-en: comedy about the aliens from Half-Life and their home world. Apolio 13: documentary about a polio outbreak in the 13th century.

Shuttle was discontinued years ago...it was pretty obvious.

How do I know I can trust this, since I read it on the internet? You got that from xkcd didn't you?

It's similar to how people will be afraid at first of 'hydroxic acid' and the like. If she didn't know what Kessler syndrome is, she wouldn't have gotten an xkcd joke.

The lounge changed to General disscusion

Home > General KSP > The Lounge I agree with @RainDreamer though, it would be funnier if everything was in Comic Sans for a day. -
Cool. I just finished a persuasive speech on why we should go to Venus.

Holy Krap! Good luck...on route 1! -
My first launches barely left the troposphere.

Earth!

Sorry to interrupt these discussions, and I know black holes are very interesting, but my question was: Sorry, but I'd like to leave discussions about other aspects of black holes to a different thread. I am wondering what I would see at the moment I was about to pass the event horizon.

School is cancelled when a small black hole zips past the Moon, sending it on an impact trajectory with Earth. Both shatter into molten globs of rock which become a debris field. I wish I could control where the clouds go.

You probably won't be able to solve the full scramble just by reversing the moves like in low-count puzzles, just like you wouldn't be able to do that on a 3D puzzle either for a full scramble. Those few twists do help, though, with recognizing the kinds of patterns that appear in the hypercube and learning how the pieces can be moved around and manipulated. Yes, there is a 5D one, and yes, there is a 7D one. There is no such thing as too far, apparently.

Cool. You should submit your log file and get your name on the Hall of Fame!

What was your method? Was it edges-corners-hypercorners or was it a different method like layer-by-layer? I haven't seen a LBL method for the hypercube, but that would be cool.

Based on the orbital period and altitude, I would assume it's in orbit of a hypothetical Earth with no atmosphere. Since the orbit is circular (whew!) we don't have to worry about how fast the capsule is going. Your ground antenna has a half-sphere where it can see the sky. You could figure it out by drawing a tangential plane that crosses Earth at your antenna, seeing where the satellite's orbit intercepts the plane and where it exits, finding the central angle, and figuring out what fraction of the total orbit it is. Unfortunately, I could maybe figure that out in 2D but not in 3D. Sorry. BTW, I think you need the longitude of ascending node or whatever it's called to be able to know at what longitude it crosses the equator.

The 8th cell is in the 4th dimension, not visible to the 3D slice we project it upon. To view it, we can rotate the tesseract 4-dimensionally. Similar to the way we can't view all six faces of a cube at once, we can't view all eight cells of the tesseract at once, at least not with this projection. Only if there is a very special watch on the other side of the tesseract. Unrelated: I deal with cubes much more often than tesseracts, so I will keep the name.
