Good for you. None of my exes are my friends but none are my enemy. I always say don't burn your bridges. It sounds to me like this friendship may be un-healthy for you though (I hope I'm wrong). I say that because I'm worried you are still holding onto the past. Maybe it is time to let that relationship go (not completely) and start seeking more concrete affection. Don't take this as fact, because its a small world and you two could always come back together. But don't expect that to happen, you will probably be let down. And trust me, if somehow life crosses ur paths again, it will be 10x as special. Just be sure you are living in the present and not the past.

No It isn't, It was a bad attempt at being funny. The serious part was the second part- It is true though, most girls love to talk about themselves and their problems. Fishy ground though because you have to be careful not to fall into strictly the friend zone. The best advice I can give is to live life with no regrets. If you think twenty years from now you might look back and regret not telling this girl your feelings, then you owe it to yourself to tell her so that you don't have to look back and regret that. Remember, the worst thing that can happen is twenty years from now you look back and wonder what could have been. A simple no from the girl pales in comparison. In hindsight, I doesn't exactly matter if you made it to the mun, what's important is at the end of the day you tried your best to get there. Don't live worrying about your destination, live for the journey! It may take a few trial runs, but if you give it your all you will eventually make it. With that said(I'm not sure how close you guys are), do not just open and tell this girl you love her or something like that. That would most likely freak her out. Start out small. Maybe one day if she wears her hair the way you like it compliment her on it. Let her know, in a subtle manner, that you think about her when she isn't around. This is the best advice I can give, good luck!

You seem generic.......... Yes it was. Just trying to be an optimist instead of a pessimist. -
Set EVA Hatch Priority

I didn't even know you could have two hatches. Cool.... -
Selfie taken moments before death. Darn you jumping 1.3.1 bug Yep bill Is bad shape down there. Also accidently participated in the destroy the KSP challenge when my rocket fell over and the launch pad and I attempted to save it just for the heck of it. It didn't work

totm nov 2023 SpaceX Discussion Thread
harrisjosh2711 replied to Skylon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I posted here a few weeks back that I applied for a job for SpaceX as an associate buyer. I didn't get the job but I got a reply. Not sure if it is generic or not, it doesn't appear to be. Here is the Email- Dear Joshua, Thank you for your interest in a career with SpaceX. Unfortunately, we were unable to consider your application for Associate Buyer, as the position has been cancelled for revision.We encourage you to continue to explore our careers page as this position is being revised and may be reposted in the near future. You are welcome to reapply at that time.We appreciate your interest in SpaceX and wish you success in your job search. Sincerely, SpaceX Talent Acquisition -
Lol, if there is one things girls love to talk about it is themselves. If you can ever get them on the subject you will be lucky if they ever shut-up. In all likely hood, u guys are both so shy around each other because you both like each other and you both know it but nether on of you has built up the confidence to act on it. Try setting up a little gathering between people you both know and invite her along. Make sure it is you who ask her to come though. If she says she has something planned try again some other time. Is it bad that I feel like this subject probably belongs here in this forum? I can, shamefully, say I have put my life on hold because this game. Is it bad I might not recommend this game because its so addicting it just might ruin ur life.

@mrtagnan 1st- I think next time I get a chance to play I'm going to download RP just so I can use those beautiful things. 2nd- I think I'm going to have to get to work on improving those engines to match those new emissions pronto!
-
@mrtagnan A- go click on my GitHub link and go to the top and select Dragon2 which will take you to my GitHub master where you can submit a pull request for them. B- load it up on any file sharing site and shoot me a link. I use dropbox.
-
Ah, yeah I haven't messed around with RP configs. You could try asking over on their forums for some help. Looks great though. After seeing those plumes I may have to go and download RP.
-
You should be able to. Whats important is that you are using two different names for the engines. it would look something like this(see spoiler)- (What is important are the names Running full and Running one you then copy the effects from running full under the effect for running one and plug those names into the two different engine modules There must be effects written for both or they wont work. You cannot alter the ThrustTransformVectorname that name is the name of transform in Unity that tells the game a engine is there. There other names are all written in the configs and can be changed as long as they correlate to the effects of the engines. @mrtagnan Those plumes look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screen shots too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@eskimo22 Didn't we already discuss the whole fuel thing because of balancing reasons? The 9m (real life) BFR is rated for 150 tons LEO (full-reusability). If you fill thank tank which as much fuel as suppose to be in it by volume you could likely make a trip around the entire kerbal system with the thing. The problem lies in the major difference in orbital velocity of Kerbin and Earth. Here is the post from our previous conversation- "Perhaps that could be the answer to revisit the engines. I think I may have set the fuel that way for balance reasons. I'm starting to see an issue I'm not sure how to solve. Mainly being that orbital velocity in KSP is approximately 2200 ms. You could just go to far with the BFR in stock scale, considering it is designed to operate at real scale potential(It is just capable of tugging 150 tons into LKO). If you increase fuel in the BFR pod you will need to increase thrust in the booster engines or you loose payload capability. That means you will get into orbit of kerbin with far to much fuel (making it absolute cheating). The answer would be to decouple from the booster earlier. But that is a problem. Say your booster gets you half of orbital velocity. On earth, you still need to gain around 4100 ms to get into orbit. In kerbin only 1100ms. That means the engines would need to be so horribly inefficient that you would burn atleast 45000(half-tank) units of fuel to gain 1100 ms. Real life just doesn't quit convert to the kerbal world. If you have changed the thrust and the ISP your BFR is far capable of what it is designed to be." One answer would be to make the upper stage weigh 200 tons. This is how I know another SpaceX mod balanced its falcon9 system. The upperstage weighs more than twice the booster. I personally don't like that direction it already weighs somewhere around 50 tons. If you can come up with an idea to balance it in the kerbal system I'm open ears. But it needs to just be capable of a 150 ton payload to LKO with full re-usability. Must be capable of returning to kerbin (no in-situ) from a lunar landing after re-fueling in a highly elliptical orbit around kerbin. And must be capable of landing on duna and return with in-situ refuel leaving from highly elliptical orbit on full tank. It cant have extra fuel in its tanks when it returns because it is not designed to land with full tanks. You cannot land it with full tanks with three raptor engines. In its current configuration it is just capable of doing all these things. Shoot yeah man, that's what I'm talking about! I dont not advise you start with landing legs, I recently designed some and they are a royal pain in the cheeks. In fact, I noticed some mods don't use the landing leg module and just use the animation module. If you do it I would be more than willing to help you on you journey if you ask. But that is a really complex project you are aiming after there for a starter. But hey, this is exactly how I started modding.
-
Yes to falcon9 landing legs. And Yes to the engines. No grasshopper for the time being though, sry pal.....
-
@Grand Ship Builder Its a no go on the grasshopper parts. SpaceX only used those to help design the landing legs. Now that kerbalized SpaceX will have landing legs you can practice with the parts that ultimately were the developed from grasshopper testing. I really don't understand what you mean to accomplish with these parts. Even If you do use them your just going to launch you rocket a few hundred feet and bring it back down for landing. What are you going to do with them after that? Ok, I guess you guys have convinced me for some individual engines What was the problem with them? Was it my fault?
-
Cool. I'm going to go with two clusters that I may break down it singles as well. Not sure if I will get them in the next update but I probably will. I was going to try and get an update in last night but ran out of time. I will be busy for the next week with finals, so there likely want be any changes to the mod until after next week. If I have the time this weekend I would like to get an update posted. The BFR is looking so much better with the new textures I'm excited to release it.

totm march 2020 So what song is stuck in your head today?
harrisjosh2711 replied to SmileyTRex's topic in The Lounge
@CatastrophicFailure Gosh that music video was bizarre. I'm not sure whether I should be scared of fascinated. Ill definitely check out the film. I do love some old school comedies- Cheech n Chong, Blazing Saddles, The Naked Gun..... Although, I think those are a little older -
Any comments on the textures for the BFR tank? Should I go more stock-alike like this? Or something more like this?
-
I have been testing different texture variations on the BFR booster all day. I swear once you learn to mod it's so hard to actually play the game. Found out the BFR would make a nice boat/submarine.- Something tells me this shouldn't be buoyant. I'm pretty sure ksp added a config for this recently

I had no clue that was from a movie, definitely from before my time. I suppose that's the crappy thing about being young some times. half the time you have to act like you know what people are talking about when they reference some celebrity/movie/quote/etc... because its better than hearing- (some person)- "WHAT!!!!!! I cant believe you've never heard of ________. " (me)- No sir. Are they still alive? (some person)- Nope, they died when I was a kid. (me)- Oh..................
-
Awesome! Yes, I will absolutely include them (credit given to you of course). But yes, post a few screen shots, I would love to see. You can post them here.
-
@eskimo22 if you say anything else about those plumes for atleast a month I will leave them! relax, I'm joking. I have already told you I haven't had a chance to revisit the engines yet, and that I would likely (no promise) add individual engines for the top. It really does need them. They cant operate exactly as designed as a single part. Plus that isn't a huge part increase. What do you think about an outer ring and center cluster? I would prefer a cluster because it is somewhat unique and there are a few (really good) models of SpaceX engines already floating about out there. You don't like my grey stripe? dangit. Yeah I can do something about that. I'm not finished with it yet.
-
Yes, but you need to put the BFR docking ring on the bottom of the pod.
-
Playing around with the new textures on the BFR a little today. I think I'm going to re-texture the tanks again. It looks cool from far away, but once you zoom in all the definition added by the normal map goes to crap.

lmao. I literally broke out in laughter when I read this.
