Same here, every few flights the game crashes when entering buildings like VAB or science center.

Do you have any subtle (or not so subtle) names for certain missions?

Most of the time when I play KSP on career the furthest I go will be Duna before losing interest (due to being too grindy) and playing sandbox feels cheatsy to be making a rocket that can go to the mun or anywhere else without taking effort to first make small rockets, now I have downloaded Realism Overhaul and I need to make the decision: Should I choose Career or Sandbox (or even science mode: Kind of takes away the grindy parts of career mode)?

I second airsoft. I played it for a little bit, but didn't have enough money or interest to keep playing. I would like to get back into it if I had the money, though. First I would say go to reddit/r/airsoft, it's a great place to look into for getting started and there's tons of help on there for what gun to buy, what accessories, etc. I wouldn't bother with camo for a while until you really decide it's worth it, I didn't think it was. Look into fields to play at around you. The distance may decide for you whether you want to get into it in the first place, but there are some who drive an hour and a half to get to theirs. Even if your field only requires eye protection, use full face. It's not fun blowing your $1,200 on a broken tooth.
Or, you could get a drone! That would be really cool, I bet! $1,200 is more than enough for a really good one.
Phantom 4 is around $1200 but I believe you might need permits to fly it in certain places, which might be a hassle.

Some people would get mad because they would think that because you are flying "that" flag on the Mun you support "their" ideologies. Obviously you don't, you are just considering what it would be like if the wars had been different and "they" were the ones planting flags on the Mun instead of the US. I think since it's a hypothetical world that is pretty detached from our own (seriously, you're flying little green people around in spaceships made from parts "found lying by the side of the road" on a planet 11 times smaller than Earth) it's fine. It's always interesting to consider how the world would be different if any particular event had gone differently. If Rome hadn't fallen. If the Wright Brothers never flew. If someone launched a nuke in the Cold War. If the K-PG impactor missed. If Theia missed. If Mars was still wet. I've got no problem with you planting a "bad person" flag on the Mun, imagining and wondering about a world in the hands of Adolf Kerman.
I agree but it still feels weird to plant a swastika flag on the Mun and see tiny swastikas on the spacesuits, most of the events you named were pretty harmless (or atleast at the time): The Wright brothers didn't kill millions so that's a lot different than German meanies, you could also say that Romans killed millions and let people fight for their entertainment but it's easy to say "Oh that's just how people thought back then, they were used to the ideas and believes of that time and they were just primitive" but you could also apply that to German meanies.

Those "bad people" DID fund Wernher Von Braun who basically invented the ICBM and went on to be a founding member of NASA. In other words, in addition to all the atrocities etc. they did in fact contribute to the field of rocketry. You know, in order to blow up Londoners, but still. Von Braun thought his rockets could have gone on to greater uses.
Right, not saying they only made things for destruction and evilness but that is certainly what shadows the good things 'bad people' did,

I think this is a pretty touchy subject lately, especially here in the states in regards to the Confederate flag.
Personally I don't have a problem with people flying whatever colors they like but...
Anything with a "Swastika" on it I would definitely consider to be in poor taste.
True, seeing a flag with a swastika on it certainly isn't normal but it has something weird to it , perhaps how things could have turned out if the Germans would've won the war. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Wolfenstein is so interesting because it shows what this world could've turned into.
Maybe it is something similar to morbid curosity, vsauce made a good video about it here:
There is something disturbing and fascinating about all of this...

Pre PS. German meanies from the second world war got replaced by 'bad person'
Currently I'm using the К.С.П. commy flag and it got me thinking about how other flags would look.
The dutch flag and the toucan flag were more for fun, but what would it be like to command of a bad person instance a space program in a dystopian in a world, but planting bad person flags on the Mun would feel disrespectful (and probably is) and weird but also kind of interesting (not that I support bad person ideology but there's something to it that makes it strangely interesting to it.)
What do you think about 'edgy' flags?

It's been a while since I've played career mode so I have some questions:
After I got into orbit for the first time and completed the contract for first orbit there was a "Do a flyby past Minmus" contract available from Kerbin World-Firsts Record-Keeping Society though it feels weird not to first get a rendezvous mission or a mun fly by mission. Is there any way do get misions like these http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/List_of_story_line_contracts
Ps, the contract configurator mod wont add more contracts only remove the ones you dont want.

I'm sure I have read somewhere that if human civilisation died out, lets say everyone died overnight for some reason, that very little of what we leave behind would survive for more than a few hundred years or maybe some things a millenia or two. The vast majority of our buildings are made of concrete/steel/glass/wood, all of which will crumble and corrode to rubble in only a few hundred years, tops. High technology items like electronics would last even less time (without people to tend them) and apparently without human intervention, plants, trees and animals will reclaim the cities within years. Even all of our plastic trash would degrade.
So what could a future civilisation (say in 10,000 years) find? Probably not all that much, a concrete-dust layer laced with hydrocarbons in sediments and soil cores, a few large lumps of rust, maybe some stores of radioactive waste and the remains of the Svaldbard seed bank.
Even from that though you could deduce that we had reached a certain technology level, had a certain level of excess resources (from which you could infer quality of life levels) and went about certain activities. But I'm sure there would be a lot of guesswork.
On another note, I've fantasised a lot about writing a sci-fi book about present-day or forseeable-future humans finding the remains of an ancient civilisation on Earth (or elsewhere within the solar system), buried very deeply and consisting of mountain-sized machines of unknown purpose, like the machine from Forbidden Planet.
But what about the traces we left in space? I'm pretty sure there would be atleast a couple of satellites eternally orbiting our/other planets.

Imagine that archaeologists would find remains of a very ancient civilization: what for an impact would this discovery have on society and what kind of technology would they have, or another scenario: What would a future civilization make up out of our tech and beliefs if our entire civilization would freeze in time (due to an eruption of yellowstone for example)?

The Tesla model 3 has a range of 345 km, can go from 0 to 100 kmph in 6 seconds, 5 star safety rating, an autopilot and starting at 35,000 USD.
So far there are 613 charging stations which are mostly located in America and Europa and in 2016 the amount of stations will be doubled.

Do you think this is the push electric cars needed to become mainstream?

Um, rather off-topic for the off-topic forum, but considering this site
appears to be dead, last post in it being from october, I decided that you, the infinitely surprising KSP community would be able to help me... (especially the one who calls himself the forum's amateur historian)
I decided to learn ancient greek, and have gotten past all the initial barriers of pronunciation (such as upsilon) save 2.
1) Kappa vs Khi (or Chi), two K sounds, I keep on hearing of K vs loch, is this loch type K different because of a click in it vs just a K sound ? or am I missing something ?
2) In Theta vs Tau and Pi vs Phi, I can do the aspirated H that comes after the respective sounds, but, since I'm homeschooling myself, I don't know exactly what I would be looking for if I were to speak to someone in it, and to hear myself, I need to exagerate the sound myself. What should I listen for to improve ?
Ive been learning ancient greek at school for a couple of years the kappa is more dental (coffee, carrot) while the chi is more with a 'g' sound: Ksg.
Tauta is a t sound (tand) with theta you get a th sound (not as the but as in tooth)
Pi is p and phi is ph
Iota subscribtum under a word will add an i to the sound. A becomes ai n (<eta) ni, o oi. You get it.
Spiritus asper adds an h sound to the letter (the comma facing right) o (with aspar) becomes ho. Oi becomes (with aspar) hoi.

Jebediah decided to make a literal last minute EVA (less than a minute was left before reentry) Jeb lost some control but returned to the command pod with just 20 seconds left to spare, ofcourse he was awarded certified badass award for this stunt.
