Well, it's 1959. There was another episode about a plane that was basically travelling through time. What was used to establish this to the viewer? Dinosaurs! If you could call it that. Name me one point in time in which these effects would have been anything but laughably bad.

Airplane construction! This plane is my first "real" Mk3 aircraft (I have a space shuttle, but that doesn't count). A lot of trimming is required to keep it stable (about 1/2 to 3/4 upwards pitch), but other than that, it flies really well. You can (and this is surprising, to be honest) start pulling the nose up at ~65m/s! It still takes a while before the gears leave the ground, though. Here's the AoA of the craft (compare nose and exhaust attitudes): Landing at the old airfield as a test. It's difficult to land with full tanks, but in real life you don't do so anyway! ... Followed by a landing back at KSC. And hey, look where I came to a stop! Oh and I also fulfilled an "Explore Ike" contract by docking these two vessels. One of them has a tourist who wanted a fly-by of Ike, so I killed two birds with one stone!

Then I guess you're known for being unknown?

Well, I had to have a name to use for forums, imgur and the like. After like 2 hours (!) I came up with this name.

IT'S HAPPENING!

@AzimechAt least I assume he came up with them, otherwise I'll correct it. Hazardish came up with a hinge design for his tilt-wing craft. The craft, as he later admitted (remember the scandal around him? Yeah, that) doesn't work, but the hinges actually work very well. It's just that the design is too big to be used as a landing gear.

After a failed attempt to make a custom landing leg using @hazard-ish's hinges I decided to start a contract to launch a space station to Gilly. In hindsight it's unnecessary work; even a Kerbal would count as a space station if in orbit around Gilly. Anyway's here's they 160t vehicle with the 30 ton payload (transfer stage included) on the pad: I've focused the cam on the front clamp, which enabled me to take this shot a few seconds after launch (TWR 1.17)... ...as well as this one: The entire vehicle is 42.4m tall. This makes it the biggest vessel I've ever launched, by the way. I've decided (accidentally, as many things I "decide" on) to go for a steep trajectory. Get out of the atmosphere as quickly as possible, the last thing I want is loose control: If you look very carefully you can see two struts. I added them to some structural struts things (you know, the small ones you immediately have upon starting a new game) to make sure the vehicle is absolutely stable. And here's the station in LKO, with extended solar panels and antennas: The service bay at the bottom contains two antennas, a probe core and batteries. I want to let the stage burn up in Eve's atmosphere after putting the station into orbit.

Why don't grammar you?

I don't get the reference...

You can't deter the laws of physics!

I assume that each guards one door, right? They don''t just stand around somewhere, do they?

@Nibb31 I absolutely agree with you on all points. The Space Shuttle was and still is an engineering masterpiece. And 98.52% of all missions were successful, which is great. The fact that they were able to reuse just a handful of orbiters to fly 135 missions (while losing two, no less!) is impressive indeed! But it didn't succeed at all goals. Some, like the regularity and frequency of the launches just wasn't possible. That's what I meant with "terrible execution": Turns out that reusability is difficult to pull off such that you can reuse the orbiter more than just a few times a year! The goals just were to high for their time.

One task from this week's exam in English: "You've been asked to write a film/book review. Give a short summary and a reason why you like/dislike it" (paraphrased) Okay... I... I don't watch movies, neither do I read books. Well, I do, but I don't think a review about A Brief History Of Time is an expected answer here.

(I'm talking about the American Space Shuttle here) In short: Good idea, terrible execution. It was supposed to be a cheap, regular and safe way to access space. In the end, it was expensive, flew 4-5 times a year on average (hardly regular) and it killed 14 people. Not really that safe, is it? That doesn't mean that I don't like the shuttle, quite the opposite. It's just that it was a failure when you consider what it was supposed to do.

You're not alone with that.

Apparently spelling is also not effective. Meanwhile I don't exactly know what to do. I, despite the fact that I know it doesn't exist, am trying to find a healthy balance between polemic/sarcastic comments and being straight up annoying. I've only found one choice: Stop the comments. At least one problem I have with this solution: It's like a subconscious process for me. Something I do without thinking about it. Not "without thinking about it" as in saying something I'd regret if I had thought. Rather, like playing an instrument. You just do.

How about "existing"? That would answer the question, right? Oh, and to join in on this sarcasm-conversation: I'm more polemic than sarcastic. Add a bit of passive-aggressive tendencies and it's perfect. Huh. That might be a reason why no one likes having me around.

@cubinator I didn't speedrun the game with it. I really did it just for fun. Additionally, I can't get this quicksave/quickload glitch to work, which is the essential tool for Portal speedruns.

I didn't want to post here before, with my previous misadventures being the last thing posted, but I think I completely broke Portal two days ago... I managed to get two pieces of music to play simultaneously (while skipping "4000 Degrees Kelvin"), skipped chamber 9 by placing a portal halfway through the door (Got the entire "We're sorry that this chamber is unsolvable" thing while in the elevator to chamber 10), entered one of the windows in chamber 15. And I think I messed up the game so badly that it even offset some entities... Wasn't there a way to softlock in chamber 9 by letting the elevator go without you? I can't remember how to do that, though.

You're not a monster. You're rational.

I shall repeat my words then:

You would like to see an edit of the picture, thanks!
