Squad should STOP ALL development and do this now
DAL59 replied to seyss's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
Why? I agree that stock clouds would be great, but why divert "all resources" to a minor feature? Adding 2-d clouds, such as in space engine, would not take that much. If you mean KSP should have volumetric, realistic clouds, then they shouldn't, because it doesn't fit with art style and would be computer intensive. PS the misspelling of Squald makes this unintentionally hilarious. -

I don't like how people use TedX talks to prove any point they have. Most Ted Talks, which are at least vetted (TEDx is independently organized and surprisingly easy to get into), let alone TedX talks, are pretentious, oversimplified, overbearing, and often contradict each other, so using them as proof of something is not good.

That's why you install RP0 and RO! sarcasm -
If your in a hohmann transfer, a small change makes a large trajectory change, but if Eros is already moving towards the Earth at high speeds, and the acceleration changes rapidly in direction, then it would still be possible to predict the trajectory.

Theoretically, could such a binary system exist?
DAL59 replied to G'th's topic in Science & Spaceflight
In the novel Rocheworld, the binary is on an elliptical orbit that is in a 1:3 resonance with the system's gas giant. So, on regular intervals it gets extremely close to the giant, fixing the drag. Also, remember that as the planets are tidally locked, and they have enormous inertia, there is not much drag. -
