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!

I am currently attempting this, and... Trajectories mod is real useful for this.

I usually leave about 3300 m/s for orbit, unless my ship has really low acceleration or poor aerodynamics that warrant a less efficient steep ascent, in which case I'll add more. I haven't really done any testing for minimum delta-V to orbit, though, I should see what I can do.

Hungry Ship It was decided that the mining vessel would be sent down to Pol's surface in a valley near Lander 2's location. There, it would magically convert rock into fuel to transport back to CLOUD-ONE. This process would have to occur many times, but at least it would fill the station and allow it to explore another moon. The landing was perfect, but the Kerbals realized that the machine would wobble and topple if they tried to run the drills without standing it on landing legs. So legs had to be installed before they could proceed. Luckily, there were a few nearby on a ship that didn't need them nearly as much: Lander 2. Lander 2 was flown down to the mining probe so the installation could begin. Three feet were removed from the lander and absolutely NOTHING went wrong. *ahem* Three legs were removed from the lander an- They were just legs, right? The ship wouldn't be seized by unseen forces and destroyed the moment the screwdriver touched the bolt? Of course not. That would be silly. The legs came off the lander, and went on the miner. The job was done, and the Kerbals could soon return to station. The mining vessel would be left there to top up its tank, which would take some time. Walking around Pol, it was easier to use the jetpack to fly around rather than wait for gravity to weakly tug you back to the surface with each step. Still, though, somehow it felt like there was some other force pulling at the Kerbals' feet in the split second before they left the ground...Trying to pull them down, asking them to come closer...tricking their molecules into staying a little longer than they should. The surface was just loose dirt, but somehow it felt different from other airless moons. Sometimes the ground seemed to rumble, or move and shift beneath their feet. Was it just because they'd never walked someplace with such low gravity before? Or was there really something different about the regolith? Could it even be called that at all?

Pol ate my ship today...I think I'm going to Vall instead now. Maybe Laythe?

I'd set up an indoor garden so I know I will have food. Probably try to find an electric aircraft somewhere that I can fly around the country. I'd turn off the city lights - don't need them, and I like to see the stars. I'd make some messages for any aliens visiting in the future, and store them somewhere in Canada. Not sure how long the internet will be running, so I'd better download as much as I can right away.

Plot twist: it's Raptor 181

Do airplane wings get like that? Bugs don't fly very high most of the time, and even at the building-tops where Superman usually flies there likely aren't going to be many bugs, unless they are nice ecological buildings covered in local plants. I don't think Superman really needs to be concerned with bugs any more than whatever else gets into his suit that he needs to wash off. Even more so as bugs die off due to the Anthropocene conditions. Additionally, he can use a hydrophobic coating on his suit to keep most things from sticking. I think that as long as Superman washes his suits regularly, he should be just fine.

Are most Rubik's cubes solved or unsolved? Probably we can assume that the vast majority of Rubik's brand cubes sold get scrambled and don't get solved again for a long time. But there are a few of us who have lots of off-brand cubes, and nearly always store them in the solved position. But while using them, they spend most of their time in the unsolved state.

Yeah, but it would look insanely cool. Isn't that reason enough?

I think OpenRocket and Rasaero are better if you want to simulate the flight profile of an actual model rocket.

I think they could get maybe 2x the satellites in that fairing, for 3x the rocket cores. In that case it would be cheaper to launch two Falcon 9s, preferably at the same time and with cameras pointed at each other.

I doubt that. Other opportunities will come up sooner than that.
