I really love Rask and Rusk, I believe in the pre-alpha gameplay you can actually see the lava twinkling in the distance (correct me if I'm wrong).

Click because the fate of the entire Universe, indeed the Multiverse depends on you clicking. Why you ask? For reasons.

ok, I apologize in advance for this very noob-esk question-what is kopernicus?
Kopernicus is a mod that dosen't do anything by itself, but it allows you to create planets in the game.

1. I can't change anything that goes on in the Universe directly, but I can change things that can cause other events, e.g I can't cause a civilization to spontaneously disappear, but I can move an asteroid to destroy that civilization.
2. I can't continue to force something to happen after I've started it, e.g the asteroid I sent to destroy that civilization can be deflected by the civilization if they have the technology.
3. I can't mess with time. If I mess up on one planet, easy, move to another.

I always wrote down my mission reports in a notebook (ea., MET 00:00 liftoff, MET 1:36 stage 1 separation confirmed, stage two engine ignition)
Wow, I've never thought of that. Maybe I should do that too!

Maybe it is a white dwarf,
It could also be an A-type star, or just a plane old sunlike star.

I started in early January 2020, but.....
14 successful mun missions
12 successful Minmus missions
7 successful Duna missions
2 successful Gilly and Eve missions
1 successful Lathye and Jool mission
7 stations, 3 bases, and 1 successful space shuttle
475 quicksaves
273 dead kerbals (although I always reverted, so they didn’t ‘die’ persay....)
Started out on console, switched to pc July 10th
Oh wow, how do you keep those numbers?

I started with 1.7. I'm a noob, basically.
You're not alone, I never sent one probe to Moho until probably around 2017, and have only sent a few probes, and only one manned mission there, same with Eeloo, except I haven't even returned, it's remarkable how little I've accomplished after 6 years of playing.

If it was tidally locked, the waves would be standing still and not moving across the surface
There is another explanation, the waves are so big because on this planet time has been running for trillions upon trillions of years, the wind would gradually create these waves, with no land to brake them up they would get larger and larger, until reaching the titanic proportions seen in the movie.
The reason there aren't more of them is because most of the water is held in those waves.

And why did those kilometer-high waves not made the planet tidally locked and freeze at the noon point?
It probably is, I mean, we haven't seen it rotate have we?

Some people might tell you the world is round, but it's wrong! Some people might tell you it's flat, but they're wrong! Earth is actually shaped like a gigantic space ship traveling through the stars!

When did you join KSP? I had the demo for a while, then I switched to the full version which was then 0.25, then I switched to the console version in November of 2016, some time in late 2018 or early 2019 I went back to the PC with Version 1.6, I stayed on that version until 1.8 came out, and I've been steadily upgrading ever since.

I wish for 40 TB HDD.
Granted, but you put so much on it so quickly that it overloads it. I guess you need a 50 TB HDD now.
I wish for world peace.

Some clone of Orville?
Nope, the reverse.
Anyway's, to get back on topic, the movie Interstellar even though it was mostly hard sci-fi, I feel like the main problem with it was the delta v and maneuvers that the Endurance seemed to be able to do. To me it looked like it was propelled by chemical rockets based on the engine bell, (correct me if I'm wrong), but It's hard to believe that that puny rocket could take it to say, Miller's planet, and anyone who has tried to go to Moho that the Delta-V requirements would be astronomical, especially by direct transfer.
Also, another nagging problem: where's the light source? I mean, they do mention a neutron star, but it's hard to believe it could light up the entire system and the radiation would most certainly have killed any life trying to form on the surface, plus, the light would be much darker or a much more harsh blue light, the light is clearly coming from a yellow-white star. But where is it?
There's also the mystical equation that needs data from a singularity and can magically propel things into space. But what would that accomplish? The food that they brought with them wouldn't be able to be replenished because of the Blight, most crops were eradicated due to the blight.
But overall, it was a great movie, just not great science wise.

Just had a thought which I haven't seen talked about...
Will anomalies be in the game? If so will the monoliths have the squad monkey logo etched on them or something else? Or would there be a variaty of monoliths with other logos?
Peace.
I'm hoping that there aren't monoliths, maybe some around Kerbin for nostalgia, but some other kinds.

Oh I know a perfect name for it.

Granted. The game crashes whenever you load it, so you can't play it.
I wish for a new indestructible PC

It's so bad that despite the 3rd recent Star Trek film not being that bad
Actually, I think that the 3rd one was the worst. I mean, I think they were great and all, it's just they're not true Star Trek.

15. Build a 10,000 part ship, filled with thousands of kerbals, and can go to basically anywhere, and crash it.
By the way @Lewie, you missed #9, so I guess we're going to 102 now.

There's this one moment in Star Trek: Into Darkness which not only is unscientific, violates the laws of physics. It's that moment when the Enterprise loses power. The ship, which is clearly in orbit around the Moon, ironically picks up speed only after it's power is out. it inexplicably veers to the left towards earth as if something were pushing it, then proceeds to ignore the Moon's gravity and manages to brake the Moon's escape velocity. I don't remember how long it took to get there, but assuming it took 15 minutes, the ship accelerated to 955,600 miles per hour, which is 38 times the escape velocity of the Earth. Also, the people on board the ship experienced gravity or acceleration instead of free fall. it doesn't make sense why the gravity would be pulling them down, while they are falling, extreme speeds aside. But then it somehow decelerated down to sensible speeds as they aproached the Earth, which violates yet another law of physics, while the people inside the ship didn't feel any difference. Even if this gravity was caused by the mystical extreme acceleration, the angle is all wrong and their bodies would be splattered all over the floor from the extreme and sudden acceleration, nevermind the implausibility of it all.
Plotwise it was pretty okay. Not so much sciencewise.
