Random Science Facts Thread!
Ultimate Steve replied to Grand Ship Builder's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Spacey things always are. Fact: If SpaceX landed a booster in my town by accident, it would be the tallest building for 30km in each direction (would be 50km if not for one city). -

What is your most facepalm-worthy moment regarding KSP?
Ultimate Steve replied to MaverickSawyer's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Once upon a time I was sending a mission to one of the moons of Kerbin. I decided to pilot it almost entirely from zoomed out map view, and my brain was on transfer autopilot. Five minutes later I go back into normal view to de-orbit and I find out I'm orbiting the wrong moon.- 383 replies

http://www.heavens-above.com/flaredetails.aspx?fid=7&lat=42.189&lng=-91.4614&loc=Howard+H.+Cherry+Scout+Reservation&alt=288&tz=CST I looked it up, and apparently that was it! And according to the star map it happened right in the middle of Orion, and I remember it being in the center of a few more bright stars. I had thought it might have been an Iridium flare, but thanks for the confirmation!

Friday night while I was camping I saw this really bright moving dot in the sky, even brighter than I'd seen the ISS. I put down the container I was carrying and looked up two seconds later to see it already extremely dim, and it completely vanished a second or two later. Curious, how something can go from that bright to nothing in four seconds...

If you were to ship any car by plane, it would go higher than that I think, but that would be the fifth highest rocket powered car. -

It's not dead, it's just in a state where it's dormant and I'm always saying it's not dead. -

As far as test flights go, I'd say they did pretty well, though. -

There's a dummy in a spacesuit sticking his arm outside an electric car flying towards Mars. That's the first time in history we're able to say that. -
