  1. I guess the best comparison are how certain cultures use mononymes. I.E. the third UN Secretary General, U Thant. His name was only Thant, "U" is a Burmese honorific.
  2. One shuttle Several attempts at getting a drone carrier plane in the air and two near stock Saturn Vs that don't seem too interested in doing their @#$%^ing jobs.
  3. I took the Bethesda bundle that was around $65. i've also decided I'm going record myself playing the older games from that bundle with no preparation and see how far I get before I get a Game Over. starting with the the FPS that made the genera, "Wolfenstien 3D".
  4. I spent 45 minutes filming an Apollo style moon mission. Everything went great. Then it blew up on re-entry...
  5. We really need a sarcastic punctuation mark aside from an ellipse...
  6. I like to use the Super Draco mono prop engine/RCS hybrid parts from the Falcon mod pack, so the more monoprop the better. I also tend to build my craft to a safety standard that makes NASA look like OHSA's worst nightmare. ...then again they kinda are when you think about it. How many jobs involve what are essentially bombs the size of Big Ben, often full of toxic chemicals and radioactive crap..?
  7. I'm thinking balloons might be the easier bet than a straight up plane or quadcopter.
  8. Well, after hours of screwing around, I can proudly give you my Duna Transfer Vehicle, the K.S.S. "Name Pending". This took about 7 launches to assemble, fuel up and crew.
  9. What can I say but I live in a place where it's normal to hear grade school kids randomly drop the F bomb out loud... in public.... to their parents....
  10. It had auto saved when I discarded one of the module's boost stages, but I was just PO'ed it even happened. The game is 99% stable, I get something right I'd screwed up dozens of times in the past and boom, the thing craps out.
  11. I've been inspired to try harder in KSP, So I've spent today building, in orbit, a Duna Transfer Vehicle. And by today I do mean it. I've been at this all day. I under loaded their delivery stages for the first two modules and had to throw in three more launches of fuel tenders to make up for it, one of which never even got to the module it was sent to rescue. I still have to build the descent module, the assent module and the fuel tender that's going to take the assent module to Duna in the first place. AND THEN THE GAME CRASHED!!!!! If you'd all excuse me I have to go find somewhere to curse loudly. oh wait, I live in New York, I'll just go stick my head out the window...
  12. your line is "...I get a little bit tired..."
  13. She's also not Italian (adopted, born in Chile)... or from New Jersey (grew up in Poughkeepsie NY, two hours north of the city by train from Grand Central and about a 150 mile drive from Seaside Heights)...
  14. Travel tip based on what Stranded mentioned; If your primary destination in Southern California is Disneyland, your best bet is to fly in and out of Orange County's John Wayne Airport. ...I made the mistake of using Long Beach. Before it was rebuilt. There was one baggage claim carousel and it was OUTSIDE. Felt like I was on that old TV show "Wings"
  15. Going to Disney can be an interesting experience for the geeky. I had street face actors on Main Street in Disney world dropping character to tell me how much they loved the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" shirt I had on. Going to Disneyland, on the other hand, was weird for me in general because I felt like I was on display. The half my wardrobe that isn't made up of geeky shirts is made up of "New York Mets" shirts, plus I almost always have a Mets cap on. The folks were all acting like they'd never seen a New Yorker before.
  16. Wouldn't that make him "the Dunatian"? "Dunan" "Dunaian" I think we need a nice group discussion on Kerbal adjectives.
  17. I'll have a full report and video later, but long story short it flew for two minutes before I realized I'd used the wrong engines for the takeoff phase. Should note this is a hybrid of the two version of the plane. It's design is based on the 2015 show's version, but uses Nuclear engines at high altitudes like the 1965 version. Flown right this could work as an SSTO. but she needs a frak ton of work to get right.
  18. I had an unfinished (track laid out, nothing more) G scale loop in my backyard some years ago, which my mother forced me to pull up when a Hurricane came through. Since then, I've mostly gotten my fix of trains through Trainz Railway Simulator, because while I have other trains,* I don't really have the space. (and applying for a job on the real thing, taking the test to be a New York City Subway conductor) *Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit (BMT) "Q" series train set from MTH/Railking. The real ones were rebuild from much older wooden, gate ended, elevated trains to carry passengers to the 1939 Worlds Fair. At that time, the two private subway operators in New York, the BMT and the Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT), shared two of the subway lines in Queens, the Astoria route (now part of the N and W lines) and the Flushing route (now used by the #7). The City has always owned most of the subway network, but the two operators basically had operational Carte Blanche, save for the codified 5 cent fare and the forced sharing of those two lines. Because the IRT was originally built with narrower tunnels, (a trait inherited from the Manhattan Els to stop mainline trains from using it, IRT trains to this day use narrower bodies. 8 feet, 6 inches wide to the BMT's (and the publicly operated from the start Independent Subway/IND's) 10 feet, which is 7 1/2 inches narrower on each side. For safety purposes, the joint Queens lines were built to fit the IRT trains, and the BMT passengers had to transfer at Queensboro Plaza from the 10 foot wide subway cars to surplus Elevated rolling stock built to the narrower standard. The when the 1939 World's Fair was being prepared, the BMT took the El cars and rebuilt them with subway style bodies to increase capacity. In 1949, the shared operation was ended. the BMT got the Astoria Line to itself, the IRT got the flushing line. The Q cars were moved to the IRT to run express trains on the Third avenue Elevated until that closed in 1955, and then ran on the Myrtle Avenue Elevated to 1969 (as the last wood bodied subway cars left in the US), when that line closed.
  19. The Tribble, or Polygeminus grex, is thought to come from a planet who's native fauna gobble them up like a 20 piece McNuggets and that the "Born pregnant" survival method seems to have evolved as P.grex's last dich method of survival in that environment. take them out of it and it's about as useful to its well being as claws on a housecat.
  20. Successfully modified the IXS class bridge module so it could survive Kerbin reentry in an emergency.
  21. When you really think about it, the beauty of the concept of the Shuttle and Buran was not so much what they could bring up, but what they could bring back down.
  22. The source for the show known in the west as "Star Blazers". Then there is my personal favorite: King of Braves; GaoGaiGar (I'm more into Mecha shows than anything else) I can also recommended Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
