RocketMan-Explorer

I once had a Rey Kerman. The look on my face as I brought up the Astronaut Complex roster was priceless...

Was this a Star Wars reference?

Hey, @Cashen. Can you just copy all the other stuff from the MASEC thread or reboot it?

Yay Hotaru is back! And those screenshots look absolutely gorgeous!.... (I thought Daring-7 was the best one) Vertene and Chadgan kind of look like Parzival from Ready Player One.... don't worry, I won't give any spoilers...

Anyone notice Defiance Flight 38 parodied STS-135 almost exactly? I still feel sad that they retired the Space Shuttle, and I felt pretty sad they retired the Defiance.

@Hotaru when will the next update be? also please tell me this isn't dead. is there a successor to Defiance? (also I type in lowercase letters because it's easier.)

Absolutely. You can run about 40 maybe even 50 mods with a GTX 1060, it's one amazing piece of hardware.

Good news! I just recently made my own computer (built it on October 1st). It's a Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor build with 8GB of Patriot Viper RAM, a Radeon RX 550 Pulse with 2GB of VRAM, and a Seagate 2TB Barracuda Hard Drive. I also used an MSI B350 MATX GAMING PRO motherboard (I know I should've gone with ATX, but MATX isn't so bad) - plus I opted for Ethernet, which in my country is super fast (850 Mbps!! ) as opposed to WiFi (650 Mbps) The full part list can be found at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wsGWpb. I have to say, for a newbie when it comes to building computers, the process was remarkably easy. The only scary part is installing the CPU. Other than that, it was like building blocks. Not bad for a $900 dollar machine! (The only real hard part is fiddling with the BIOS to fix the boot order.) If you need to choose between BUILDING and BUYING, always choose BUILDING. You'll learn more about computers and learn all sorts of different combinations. Give it a try! Benchmarks: KSP - 80-90 FPS with 10 mods (way better than my old MacBook Pro which could barely keep its head above water - at ultra low settings, with 0 mods) Mods: MechJeb2, BDArmory, Scatterer, PlanetShine, KAS, KIS, TAC, DangIt!, Kopernicus, RasterProp, OPM.... League of Legends - 120-130 FPS PS4 Remote Play (yes I have a PS4) - 70-75 FPS No Man's Sky - 65 FPS (game is enormous) The Escapists 2 - between 70-80 FPS Oh, and for people who ask for proof, here are some photos of the whole thing, including the assembly.

So, those of you know that Cassini will burn up in Saturn's atmosphere on September 15, 2017, one month shy of its 20th birthday. Any thoughts or ideas?

Is that a yes or a no?

I failed the space stage about seven times because I couldn't get through the Grox. Then I figured out a secret tactic to get past the Grox. (And no, it doesn't involve blowing them up. )

Minecraft Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (on my PS4) The Escapists (cool little game) Plants vs. Zombies: GW 2 Star Wars Battlefront

Awww yes! Is Real Space Program still a thing?

Ouch. I know how bad one of those can be, and it really sucks. I learned how to build a computer in December, but haven't got around to it yet.

That was 7 years ago (I think I got my 2010 MacBook Pro in May, so it's basically dead to the world.) Whatever the case, I can only install about 2 games on it, which is not good. I still have my PS4 though, got it last November 2016, and it can run KSP. Though controlling with analog sticks...

MacBook Pro, 13-inch, mid-2010. Can barely run KSP on 15 fps at medium settings. Ouch. On other news, I want to get one of these: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P3Kh2R

KSEA was actually the name of my career save before! And my planned space program... but you can totally use it!

Chapter 1 The Invention of Solid Fuel Walter B. Kerman V was described as a madman, a Munatic, a genius, or anything in between, if you knew him personally. Fifth in a line of Kerbals bearing the proud name Walter B. Kerman, Walt the Fifth was the first to invent the solid fuel booster. While working in a field for fly extermination, Walter found out that, by encapsulating a mix of “gray stuff” with more “gray stuff” in a barrel, he could light it and kill flies instantly by pointing the barrel at them. But it didn’t work out quite as expected, so he switched to barbecuing potatoes. The second he pointed the barrel at the raw potatoes… voila! Instant fries… or so he thought. Ashes and smoke was what he really recieved, instead of perfectly golden french fries. Well, a Kerbal can dream, right? One day, Walter was on his 74th attempt (!!) to instantly cook fries when the bottom of the barrel exploded, blasting Walter with a plume of superheated gas. The barrel smacked into him, flew out of his garage, smashed through the garage door, pinwheeled wildly - and crashed through his upstairs window. Walter, immediately getting hit by inspiration (no pun intended), ordered five more and started to sell the “Grey Stuff” barrels (no name had been picked out for them yet), when they got a complaint from a Kerbal who was feeding her pink slime. She had bought one… “It just gave me fleas! Your barrel just gave me fleas from my pink slime!” Fleas! Perfect! What a good name! Walter thought. And so, without hesitation, he immediately ordered enough Flea barrels to go to the Mun and back. “Er… excuse me, sir…” one of Walter’s interns said, looking into his office. “Exactly what do you plan to do with all these Fleas?” “What a silly question!” Walter said. “We’re going to space!” To be continued…
