Think about how much we were freaking out over seeing something like that back in 2016. Now we get it every time!

A trip to Minmus.

Booster mates to center core? I personally think Kerbals spawn from an underground source within Kerbin and have no concept of romance.

It just occurred to me that we are going to see what realistic space battles might be like, simply through emergent behavior. As people decide how they want to play we will find out what works and what doesn't.

SLS has completed its landing burn and been caught by the support rockets It will be flown for the 96th time tomorrow morning

I definitely agree. I wonder if they would implement dynamic music like in Pikmin 2? That would be fantastic!

Yeah, it would be like a really bad fuel cell.

I'm sure it's tough! One way around this might be to have one type of "stilt" that actually looks like a big flat pile of dirt. Maybe it could just require X amount of dirt to build, and would sit on top of the normal terrain but be flush with the ground and the base.

CLOUD-ONE in orbit of Pol.

Would it be possible to excavate dirt to flatten areas of land instead of always having to place stuff on stilts over perpetually uneven terrain? I'm certain that excavating equipment will be necessary to mine certain resources, and it would be nice to be able to make things flush with the ground if I find a really cool build site that's a little uneven.

I have at least 5 years before I can start applying, and that'd be on the NASA side of the pond.

I think I played around with one KSP 0.6 something at one point. And yeah, there isn't much to see. 0.7.3 shows pretty well what early KSP was like.

Sounds just like the real STS.

You'd export your SolidWorks model as an STL, then use a slicer program like Cura to turn it into a GCODE which is what the 3D printer reads. I have a Prusa i3 that I've used to print spaceship and planet models, and some functional parts as well.

Cockroaches and isopods to till the fields.

Aaaaannnddd we'll just Alt+click that whole thing...

It takes a lot of water to have all the fixings. Maybe a new space station could build a toilet or shower pod, but it's not really available on the ISS.

The toilets have fans that generally direct the air inward, and vacuums to keep stuff contained.

Saturn V, Shuttle, Starship... The Shuttle inspired me as a kid - I saw that and knew that's what I want to do. However, I always think we deserved Saturn 8.

Pretty disappointing. At this point I feel like it's ~50% chance SLS ever flies crew, and if that it'll be just one cislunar flight...

Kerbals speak reversed Spanish.

That's what's intended, yes.

I mean, they COULD serve sizzling meals on the tiles. Gridfin waffles, maybe?

Yeah. I've just gotten it into my first orbit attempt!
