Joke's on you, moon-landing believers, this is a soundstage ON MARS!

I think it's certainly possible. The big problem identified with red dwarfs is that their "habitable zone", the area in which liquid water can form, may be too close to be safe for life as we know it. I personally think the term "habitable zone" is misleading, because there are plenty of places in our own solar system that are way farther out than that region that could potentially support some form of life, such as Europa and Enceladus, which orbit gas giants far out, and have liquid water mantles, and Titan, which has methane lakes, a thick atmosphere, and rain, which combined make it a good candidate for at least microbial life. There could be a planet orbiting a red dwarf far from it's so-called "habitable zone", which has a moon close enough that the tidal forces heat it inside, causing sulfur-rich volcanic vents to open which could very well provide food for chemosynthetic organisms.

A: That's a good question. Well look into it. Q: What is your opinion on whether or not we should make free snacks available to all KSC workers?

What are you doing in my house? Hey, check out this cool block of tungsten I just got today in the mail! Feel how heavy it is! Isn't that weird? You are pulled over on the wrong side of the road in a Delorean going 88 mph. In the backseat are a lightsaber, a futuristic VR headset, and Mr. Square* (in a special container so that he is protected from the 3-dimensional reality he has been transported to and does not lose all his 2-dimensional blood and die instantly). *extra nerd points to anyone who recognizes the Flatland reference here

It's impossible to prove that Kerbin is round because when you're in a so-called "spaceship", you have to look at everything through a window, which is actually a projected hologram. If you break the window, you die, not because you are in space (hint: you're not) but because the government can't have you seeing the soundstage outside your "spaceship". If you did, you would run and tell everyone and then the government's secret plan to take all the money and use it to take over the world instead of exploring space (which is fake, everyone knows air goes on forever) would be foiled.

They recently installed some blue lamps in my neighborhood, it's really annoying because my house has it's own lamp in front which would illuminate the street, but that we can turn off whenever we want to look at the sky or whatever. It's still ok, but not as good a view to the west anymore.

That looks about the same as what I can see.

Kerbin is a hologram when you are high up so that it looks like a sphere, but really God made a typo and planets were supposed to be spear-shaped, like cool deep-sea fish, but instead it ended up like a turtle.

Prediction: In ten million years, this will have evolved into the Yellow Pikmin.

Really? I could make out the bands on Jupiter if I wiggled the focus knob just right on my highest power lens a few nights ago, and that was with Jupiter only ~15° above the horizon, and enough icy haze in the upper atmosphere to put a halo around the moon! (A very beautiful halo, too!) I was trying to observe the eclipse Io was making, but I just could not quite make it out.

I would totally fly in this. The only problems are cost and the fact that it requires use of nuclear rockets. It would most likely be ok, but people don't like nuclear rockets for some reason so I don't think it will happen anytime soon. This ship as you describe it could get to orbit, and to other planets if it's already full in space. The only problem is refueling it in space. It would have to be justifiably cheaper to launch a new rocket with enough fuel and instead of just bringing that rocket to [destination], transferring the fuel into this ship already in orbit, and having that one go.

Not sure about the specs, it's enough to see the bands on Jupiter and Saturn's rings pretty well. I hardly remember ever looking at the rocky planets with it, but it could probably see the crescent of Venus, and maybe some features on Mars. It's an old Celestron, orange, and I don't have the manual or anything within easy access. Edit: Hey, whaddaya know, it's printed on the side: Aperture 8 in f/10 efl 80 in Before I saw that (all the time up until now) I was just guessing, I'll have to check with Stellarium and see just how well I can actually see it! Edit 2: It'd be barely distinguishable from the other stars. BTW it seems to be a catadioptric telescope.

Well, if we did an impact trajectory with Jupiter at just the right angle, then timewarped hard, we might be able to clip the probe through the surface and cut the transfer time down to a few weeks or less. It'd be risky though, if it doesn't timewarp enough it could explode before getting through.

"Why should we go to space when we haven't even finished exploring the oceans?" "We shouldn't go to space before we've solved all our problems here on Earth."

F1...That's the smallest kind, right? The one that's noticeable, but not really big enough to cause real damage? I've never seen any 'wild' tornadoes, but it sure would be interesting!

I think it's not about that so much, they have plenty of K-Zips in store. The only problem is they are not exactly designed for space, and they turn yellow and brittle if left out in the sun's radiation too long, so they keep them in the capsule, hence the requirement that they go back inside each time they want a new bag.

This image sums up my first few Mun landings pretty well:

I always thought of it as them having a plastic K-Zip bag that they put mittenfuls of dirt into. They don't have any pockets, so they have to carry the bag around in their hand, and if they tried to carry more than one they would drop them.

If the things you might want just for fun include sextants, a tank of liquid nitrogen, bigger twisty puzzles, bigger telescopes, drones, robots, rockets, or weather balloons, you are a nerd.

It's a science experiment I'm setting up to investigate how people react to being presented with buttons. You are pulled over on the highway. In the backseat are a glowing green vial, a flamethrower, and a Flat-Earth map.

The stress on the wrapper finally proved too strong, and it tore violently, sending snack bits flying into everything. "Uh, mission control, we have a problem. It appears that _______ has just exploded."

The sun is yellow, and it works because of fusion. Minions are yellow, therefore they work because of fusion. Plants need fusion to survive, because the Sun makes light with fusion. Therefore, plants need minions to survive. Kerbals are green, therefore they are plants, therefore Kerbals need minions to survive.
