It all depends on what a Kerbal actually is. if they are desert cactuses the condensation inside the space ship may trigger panic attacks

Well yo be honest without going to the forum or Finding Videoes From YouTube’s… or both.

Rogue exoplanets are interesting. We may have found one 30,000 to 180,000 ly out that is roughly earth sized, maybee. And it’s possible they hold life. In fact it’s weirdly possible that they are more likely to hold life, esp whe younger, because of internal heat and the possibility of thick atmosphere providing additional shielding. There is a difference between Rust and Rogue though. One is found on old worn cars, the other on Ladies. Well and others.

Most people still use imperial? Dude I’m a bloody minded American and even I suspect metric is used by most of the planet!

GUYS. GET REAL. KSP is a game that has small non human sentients who are able to come back from the dead at the flic of an menus option, live on a planet that has a atmosphere, because it does, despite having a diameter smaller than the moon. is also less less than one Earth AU from its primary. in a star system that has ALL known planets less than 1 AU from its Primary. whoes orbits apparently has no basis on what would work in a real solar system. never mind how freaky Kerbol and it’s orbit itself is. Or it’s fairly fast Rotation. Or it’s 2 moons. has no other *Anything* indicating a space fairing civilization beyond some random aerospace related structures scattered all over the planet( untill KSP 2 anyway) and are abandoned untill you find them. Then Poof! Instant useable base! never mind that you can drop crew anyplace on the planet no matter how far away and Poof! There in you Astronaut pool and ready to whatever. seriously they can seemingly Teleport from everywhere to KSP on Kerbin . That or they are some kind of slime with the ability to mind transfer into a patch of green goo at KSP, if they die they can apparently transfer to I assume a random part of Kerbin, it’s just going to take longer for them to get there act together after “death”

It’s I suspect that a small one will turn up. Basicaly an orbital to build out a explorer to reach the outer planet and object of Kerbal. Including what may be the biggest literal snowball in the solar system. Yes I've seen the not yet published paper on a model that indicates that the Planet X may be a mega commet. do I need to say it’s a cool idea? btw the orbital will show up in the second update, which yes is the third iteration.

Not disagreeing with that. But then they drew inspiration from NASA And we to date have built exactly -0- maned interplanetary ships. We barley managed putting a purpose built LLM on the moon. I’ve seen proposals including Lunar Gemini which was a bloat boat compared to the LLM

Guys, this is a game where if you really want to you can fly a stock Mk 1 command pod as the only actual crewed holding part with no problem to each and every planet.

Also. Kerbals are not Humans. and we do have a number of species who are extreme hybernaters such as Cyclorana alboguttata

Cryo tech already exists, as is research on it. Granted for most if not all currently stored this way, it’s most likely an expensive alternative to burial, but on the other hand their is ongoing research into things like Organ preservation and hybernation.

I think people are getting bent out of shape over nothing. kids are used to time and distance compression from tv already, never mind video games. Heck one half hour show I saw last thanksgiving started somewhere in England in the morning for breakfast, Had a travel and flight segment to Sidney Australia in about 1-2 min, and had them flying to California ( accidentally? ) In stead of back to England at the end of their weeks vacation. It’s a kids show and kind of confusing because I was only half paying attention, but they basically crammed a weeks vacation into a half hour show.

Oops sorry I thought that was obvious I was thinking the same because this is remotly realistic then your looking at 40 To 400 years with less than1-2 % time dilation from relativistic effects.

Right now all we know is that we have the properly working time warp physics. For some of the longer flights? Time dialation will have some impact on how long it takes to fly, but only at far higher Sustained Gload and duration than I’m expecting to be in game being perfectly honest…maybee a later drive? if the average speed is .1 C your looking at ~40 years flight time and I think you age I think 38 or 39 years.

You can. But the average player who just got KSP 2? insuspect tanks will be fixed sizes.

Proc tanks that can have custom dimensions are going to be problematic. A tank that can have its dimensions, top and bottom and length tweaked (say going from the top being 1.25 to the lower being 2.5. , may be a nice idea, but there are reasons why the R7 originaly had conical tanks,(and most following rockets did not) and the N1 had its shape was that the lower stage fuel tanks were spherical. The outer shape was aparentyly a windscreen. R7 was designed so that the 4 boosters and central sustainer stage could ignite simultaneously on the surface, as they were not initially sure of ignition of the second sustainer stage while in flight. The tanks were the shape they were in part to alow the upper connection points, while keeping weight down, aparently streamlining was not much of a consideration, as eventually the bow shock would reduce atmospheric contact friction of the lower body to the point that it was not a consideration after 50 seconds, I think.

Nah, I have a weird thing of miss reading things from time to time.

Nope, just 7 Length - meter (m) Time - second (s) Amount of substance - mole (mole) Electric current - ampere (A) Temperature - kelvin (K) Luminous intensity - candela (cd) Mass - kilogram (kg) you are close to the second part.

Which is exactly my point. and now it’s up to someone else to prove what the difference is….

You know we should all demand that all interstellar distances be rendered in parsecs.

I thought you typed lunch, not launch

I think the issue is one m is one m, be it a Human or Kerbal. . one m is one m. They don’t discriminate, there the same to every species.

Individual computer chips are fairly easy to store. With multi core it’s easy for them (or was) to print a chip. Test it. Set it to a performance below what they tested and say yep it’s actually this chip. If necessary turn off any underperforming cores and sell it as a older chip or as a bargain version of a chip that has as many cores as it has left turned on. that way they are selling to as many levels of the market as they have chips for. Basically it’s like we’re dealing with an airline that has more than one class of seats on its planes.

To stop worrying about it just assume that the minimum system specks are for a Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Yes I know this is an older post. It’s just that I find some of the people who stress about it semi amusing, . I tend to respond to them by taking the specks of a not yet released prossesor, and doubling the number of cores for every year in the future the game is estimated to launch. somehow given that Starfield is going into a year and a half delayed from the first time I did that you can actualy get at least one card close to what I thought it would be then next year …. Oops

The problem is that many experiments that do get done just seem, odd, and trying to represent them in KSP 1 is, difficult, at best. for example some of the spider web experiments ( spiders in zero g, how do they build and maintain webs, are they able to build ones that can trap prey, is there differences in behavior? ants, how do they respond to being in Zero g. Does being in a more confined environment help or hinder them, same for a less confined environment. colors, does being in microgravity impact eyesight and the perception of color, how do paints/pigments react over time when exposed to radiation and micro meteorites. And thats not counting things like the almost lost LDEF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Duration_Exposure_Facility if your on the outside a lot of those tests look silly, or to congressmen pointlessly wasteful ,

It’s fine I was briefly baffled because it suddenly showed up in several different places. Turns out it’s the annual these are new laws posts and news dory’s that crop up this time of year
