    You see, Iowa is not a good place for a space geek to live... James Van Allen lived and taught here, and James T. Kirk will be born here, but that's the only thing I can think of... The most important space thing for at least 30 minutes in each direction from where I live is probably the American flag that has been flown in space, currently in my bedroom. It was awarded to my grandfather, who worked at NASA for 30 years, most of it at Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center.

    I think so, but rather uncomfortable.

    Yup! Dragon 3 will be a mecha confirmed.

    If I was paying a quarter of a million dollars to go into space, I would want to float around a bit. I can almost guarantee that most people agree with that sentiment! Although I agree with you, it is crucially important to inform the passengers of when they should get back in. If one of the seats broke in flight, that would be probably the most important game of musical chairs in the history of the world.

    T-4 minutes, countdown resumed! Also, 250th flight of a centaur.

    OOO! New stream layout/gui!

    I think they made a generalized assumption based on an "average" aircraft and it came out close so they rounded, but I'm not sure.

    And who gave the USAF any authority? I hereby proclaim "Space" to start at an altitude of four miles above sea level. If you have flown on an airliner, congratulations, you are an astronaut!

    Rocket 2? Ohh, that rocket 2, Right, now I know what you're talking about! I'm glad they started giving these missions creative and descriptive names, otherwise I would have forgotten which one we were talking about!

    Correct, USAF definition is 50 miles, but everywhere else it is 62.

    Cool comparison, but based on math based on the next few frames of simulation shown, this flight only had an apogee of 80-90 kilometers and therefore is not a suborbital flight.

    Granted. You can sustain 100g effortlessly, but your body is too strong for the normal 1g and you keep accidentally crushing things you touch. I wish for the ability to perfectly hit targets up to 500 meters away with a bow and arrow.

    No, that's the service module's fuel, which I'm not sure of, but is probably some form of Hydrazine.

    Everyone now has every superpower, so nobody needs additional ones. "When everyone's super, no one will be." -Syndrome I wish for the superpower to instantly know the answer to any question I think of.

    I legitimately always thought your name was purpleevian until a few months ago.

    Not really any new technical info, they say that NS has a recorded voice rather than a flight attendant. Pictures from the article:

    Wait... It's been out since Thursday and I haven't noticed? Wow, I must really be tired...

    I would like to submit a bug report. When playing without Sigma Binary, Vizea appears to orbit outside Wers' SOI making it troublesome to encounter. EDIT: Checked, SOI is around 1000km, orbit is around 1700km. Picture of my encounter path:

    Question... What image editor was used to make the maps? I'm thinking about making a map for a planet pack.

    I heard someone say they were going through a ground-up code redesign. I'll check if there's been an update since I started this save.

    TFW you rendezvous with Didd: I think I might almost have ships bigger than Didd...

    Wow... I looked up Newton because I had no idea what it was and went down a giant Wikipedia rabbit hole... I had no idea that the ESA had so many active and planned science missions!
