  1. I would like to see a pause feature with the ability to move the camera, it would be much easier to get screenshots as you wouldn't have to fly and try to take a screenshot at the same time.
  2. With a good selection of parts (as seen in Making History or Breaking Ground) I wouldn't be against an extended solar system for KSP 1. If KSP 2 does not have at least a couple completed solar systems or plans for a couple solar systems for free, I will have to consider not purchasing the game. One of the things they have advertised with KSP 2 is interstellar travel. I understand if the dev's of KSP 2 do not "complete" Kerbin's solar system if KSP 1 does not. With interstellar travel being a selling point of the game, I do expect other solar systems to visit and from everything I have seen it's clear that is the route the devs are taking,
  3. While I don't know if making Kopernicus stock is something I support, I do think that the Solar System should be competed with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune analogs. Maybe even adding in some TNOs as modified asteroids. By expanded the solar system, it will expand the uses of RTGs as solar panels would be almost useless past Jool.
  4. Yeah, I really like his launch streams.
  5. I had a teacher who, despite teaching an advanced course, did not know the material. When he did attempt to teach, it felt like he was learning the material at the same pace as the rest of the class. Instead of even just lecturing, he would sit at his desk all class. We were expected to use khan academy to teach ourselves the course content. Any “labs” were poorly put together and while it was this Failure’s first time teaching, it was obvious that he had not succeeded in the lab. Instead of clear and concise instructions, we were given confusing and convoluted packets. Despite being a course which needed plenty of desk space, it was taught in a computer lab. The teacher accepted the cramped quarters as adequate for the class. Often when doing a lab, half the effort was getting set up in such a cramped environment. The teacher had horrible pacing. Out of the 12 units, by the second semester we had only started unit 5. Unfortunately, this appeared to be the normal for all his other classes. Packets of information in which the students had to teach themselves...
  6. I didn’t click...I tapped!
  7. A 50km tall structure. This structure would basically be a giant heat pipe, using the heat from the lower atmosphere to power turbines at the top. There would be a cooling system to allow the turbine's fluids to be recycled. The electricity generated could be used to cool the lower portions of the structure and the rest can be used to break down CO2.
  8. You should totally do that and post the details and results here!
  9. I tried it and it did not look good. Shaved on day 14.
  10. Some people can't properly control cars in two dimensions. Three is a bad idea
  11. I believe that as many others have previously said, we shouldn't pick just one. If its feasible to colonize both, that's what we should do. With that being said, due to it's almost trivial distance to earth compared to Mars, the moon would be much easier to colonize. If the colonies were established outside of either of the Pole's, electricity would be a issue as you'd have to find someway to power the colony for about 2 weeks without any solar. While this could be overcome by using a nuclear reactor, that comes with its own unique and difficult set of challenges. This depends on what you define as a colony, but assuming its defined as 100 people growing at least some crops, We have to find a way to ferry those people across. SpaceX's Starshipe seems to be the most reasonable way to move the massive amount of people, supplies, and equipment needed for such a massive operation. Unfortunately, Starship doesn't even have a rocket to ride yet. We aren't close to being able to colonize another celestial body. This is more telling of our politics than our technological level and advancements, but we haven't been to the moon since 1972. Something that has always interested me in terms of colonization is the pro's and con's of pre-made vs. assembled on site colonizes. The ISS is essentially a premade colony, everything was assembled on earth and (I know this is an oversimplification) it just had to be docked together and plugged into everything else. This is good for quick construction and such, but you are limited in the scale of what you can set up.You could theoretically have inflatable habitats but those have only now been seeing some testing. However, if you made your own living quarters at your destination, the complexity of what you could do is dramatically increased. You would no longer be limited by a 5.2m fairing,.
  12. We‘re looking on getting one for it. It’s gunna be amazing seeing it every time I walk into my room!
  13. Yeah, when he came in my room and showed me it I was ecstatic! On Social Media in July theres always Apollo memorabilia. I remember seeing a similar news paper and thinking it would be amazing to have one that my grandparents got and I am very happy to have this one! More photos: https://imgur.com/a/ORhQMct
  14. He used it for a book report when he was in school and he just found it and he gave it to me.
  15. Moon base, Mars base, Titan base, Venus base, Europa base, bases everywhere!
  16. You visits the lounge long enough and you see one of these threads every couple of months. I even made one. Personally I think there should be a pinned one but there’s nothing wrong with creating a new one every couple of months.
