The Raging Sandwich

I downloaded the Kargantua mod, and that added some of the visual packs and I don't really know what they are or what they do. If you go on the thread I'm pretty sure it'll say what they are. The only thing I actually downloaded was Scatterer.

Text-to-speech is even better.

That's awesome.

May 26 1951: Astronaut Sally Ride was born. She flew on STS-7 and STS-41-G. Spaceflight achievement was being the first American woman in space. 1951: Cosmonaut Mohammed Faris was born. He flew on Mir EP-1. Spaceflight achievement was being the first Syrian in space. 1961: The Freedom 7 spacecraft in which Alan Shepard flew in on a suborbital flight was displayed at the Paris Air Show. 1969: Apollo 10 and its crew landed back in the Pacific after a mission to the Moon. 1973: Skylab 2 performed its first EVA in which Paul Weitz attempted to free a jammed solar wing. It was the first and failed attempt to do so. 1980: Soyuz 36 and its crew of 2 launched into orbit on a mission to the Salyut 6. 1981: Soyuz T-4 and its crew of 2 landed back at Earth. 1991: Soyuz TM-11 and its crew of 3 landed back at Earth.

Yeah, on our field day we had awards and yearbook distribution on the same day. A good third of the school didn't show up. Then there were finals the last three days, yesterday was the last school day. It was consistent the number of people who showed up. Tuesday it was about 3/4, then Wednesday it was only about half, then yesterday about less than a quarter showed up. Then there were all the people that left after finals ended, which ended at 11:30 Tuesday and yesterday.

I like how some of these posts were made before I even joined the forums. EDIT: scratch that. Just kidding.

A few more questions: What are the units for the radius and the rotation period? With the KSP scale of the planet I want to make, the radius would be 446 kilometers. What number would that be to put in the config? Also, the rotation period. If the rotation period is 10.2 days, what number would that be? Also, a screenshot. Anything I'm doing wrong so far that you notice?

So I'm just starting and I'm trying to save it as a config file, but I can't. It will only let me save it as a .txt file. I copy and pasted a config from the OPM, deleted it, and tried saving it then, but it still wouldn't let me. Any suggestions? EDIT: got it, nevermind!

Of the US, won't name names

...is actually a Shinto shrine from the back. This school...

That's funny though! And... this thread blew up while I was gone!

I took a tour that took me to a bunch of launch sites, past the VAB and launch control, past all the administration buildings, to a lookout area to watch launches, and to the Saturn V building. I also saw the Atlantis. Really fun! The tour buses are air-conditioned too, that was one of my favorite parts.

The current one

10/10 best thread

May 25 1961: President Kennedy called for a manned landing on the Moon and a return to Earth in a message to Congress. 1964: Ivan Bella, the first Slovak cosmonaut, was born. He flew on Mir Stefanik. 1973: Skylab 2 and its crew of Charles Conrad, Joseph Kerwin, and Paul Weitz was launched on a repair mission of the Skylab 1 space station. After rendezvousing with the station, a fly-around was conducted to assess the damage. The solar wing 2 was completely missing and the solar wing 1 was just slightly deployed. The CSM docked to the station to plan activities. An hour later, it undocked for an EVA to fully deploy solar wing 1, which failed. On attempt to redock to the station, it took 8 attempts before docking was achieved. EVAs would later be held to fix solar wing 1 and to deploy a solar shield in place of the lost meteoroid shield, which brought the temperatures down in the station. 2001: The Galileo spacecraft did a flyby of Callisto. 2008: The Phoenix lander landed in the Mars polar region of Vastitas Borealis.

May 24 1958: Capt E. L. Breeding withstood 83 Gs for a fraction of a second in a test of deceleration on a rocket sled. 1962: Mercury MA-7 and its crew of Scott Carpenter was launched into orbit on a 5-hour flight. The spacecraft was named "Aurora 7" by Carpenter. It was the second Mercury orbital flight. Being amazed at the sights in space, Carpenter used up to much RCS fuel, causing the landing point to be 300 km away from the planned site. 1975: Soyuz 18 and its crew of 2 launched into orbit on a mission to the Salyut 4. The crew were in space during the time of the Apollo - Soyuz joint flight. 1986: US-German astronaut Stephen Thorne died in a plane crash where he was a passenger. 1997: STS-84 and its crew of 7 landed back at Earth. 2001: Astronaut Patricia Robertson died in a plane crash as a passenger in Houston, Texas.

May 22, cont. 1973: The Skylab I Board of Investigation was established to investigate the launch anomalies of the Skylab I space station. 1981: Soyuz 40 and its crew of 2 landed back at Earth. May 23 1962: The Avco Manufacturing Corporation presented a space station idea to MSC. It would be 3 tubes launched by separate Titan II rockets and would be joined together in a triangle formation in orbit. A Gemini spacecraft would be used as a ferry vehicle. It would be used to see the effects of weightlessness on reentry and fix the amount of time people can spend in orbit. 1965: the Life Sciences Committee of the National Academy of Sciences' Space Science Board recommended to NASA that Apollo astronauts returning from the surface of the Moon be quarantined for 3 weeks upon return to Earth as not to infect anyone with possible extraterrestrial organisms. 1974: The Soviet Yantar-2K was launched. At just over 7 minutes, a failure of the second and third stage separation resulted in the loss of communications, prompting the spacecraft and booster to self destruct.

May 21 1969: Apollo 10 reached lunar orbit. 1986: The unmanned Soyuz TM-1 was launched. It was a test of the new Soyuz spacecraft that would be used to send crew to the Mir and ISS. It docked to the Mir on May 23, undocked on May 29, and was recovered May 30. 2005: The Cassini spacecraft did a successful, untargeted flyby of Enceladus. May 22 1947: Helmut Gröttrup, the head German rocket scientist at the USSR, was tasked with building a modified V2 with a 600 kilometer range, called the G-1. 1959: The Vostok manned spacecraft and the Zenit-2 spy satellite were authorized. The Zenit-2 (and later Zenit-4) would both use the Vostok design. (Vostok left, Zenit right) 1963: President Kennedy left the decision for NASA whether or not to launch Mercury MA-10 a second 1-day Mercury mission after Gordon Cooper's mission on MA-9. 1969: The LM of Apollo 10 passed 10 miles over the lunar surface in a descent orbit. After the separation of the descent and ascent stages, the ascent stage begin to pick up wild gyrations, which would be possibly fatal on a landing mission. It redocked to the CSM after 8 hours of separation. More coming soon
