  1. No chance. SE is its own engine and KSP is never looking at the unrealistic technologies needed to explore such distances. If KSP ever ends up being implemented in SE, it'll probably be a fan project after SE is complete and is released as a game engine for developers to use. That's besides the fact that handcrafted planets are always more interesting than procedural generation ones.
  2. well, the question is not whether the kerbonaut will make any sound, the emotion itself is important, which it will show, kosmonavt feels overload, after all I put my sentence back through Google Translate, and "when you break the sound barrier, you aren't able to tell" turns into "when you break the sound barrier, you can't say anything". Needless to say, because the air inside the cockpit is coming with the rest of the ship, you can still speak to your other Kerbonauts. You just wouldn't be able to hear the sonic boom.
  3. Believe it or not, when you break the sound barrier, you aren't able to tell. You're going faster than the noise you're making
  4. [this is "huh", not "I am very angry". Sorry for any confusion!]
  5. It's not a real message, it's just a little teaser for a game. Intercept can do whatever they want without having to worry about how much extra money it'll cost to transmit s few more bits. No, I can't imagine why Intercept would make things look a bit nicer when the relevant message costs next to nothing to create and plant in a video
  6. I dunno... the controls preventing Matt Lowne from even just placing parts and making maneuver properly says it all
  7. Unless you want to spend 80 years in transit, probably Could be but Kerbin is already highlighted with a line, so why use two different systems to do the same task? Ideally you'd use a single system consistently. It's not a real message. Intercept doesn't need to worry about using the space efficiently like a real message would.
  8. This arrangement could be a targeting reticle centered on one planet.
  9. Pff, of course I do! Everyone has to think it's just as bad as I do! /s
  10. What TheFlyingKerman said You can also set the Mk2 drone core as the root part using the set root widget (shortcut: 4) so that it's the default control part when launching.
  11. Well written movies tend to elicit a similar emotional response
  12. The book was fascinating and the movie made everyone cry, that's all that matters. I saw the thread and thought people did this jokingly. I didn't think people actually got frustrated over inconsequential things like this.
  13. That can work for brainwashed children, but not adults who you know, actually experienced reality. Also, it takes place in the future from now, and if he was a NASA pilot, he must have piloted some pretty capable spacecraft in a time frame that is even in the future from 2022. Google says the movie is set in 2067. So assuming he was a NASA pilot he'd be pushing 30 at the youngest to start (most have military experience, plus a postgrad degree or two), so he was in NASA in the mid to late 2050s in this setting. Somehow in 10-15 years everyone thinks space travel is a conspiracy. For reasons. You had to leave the movie and enter Google territory to make your point For all it matters, it could be set in the year 5.5/apple/26 - it's never stated in the movie when it's set, and unless you go to Google specifically in the middle of your first watch to irritate yourself with details like this, the scenario will seem reasonable enough. Yes, that was part of the PR pushing how realistic this crap movie was. Just proves my point that the movie itself isn't extreme hard sci-fi when you have to go to other related media to see the real fruits of Kip Thorne's work.
  14. Talking about the actual dynamics, of course, not the idea of colonizing it. Kip Thorne wrote an entire book on how scientifically sound it is. That's where the hard sci-fi is, not the film which is more soft sci-fi.
  15. Might be to do with pushing people to do farming instead of STEM and history.
  16. Nope. Realism was important to the dynamics of the Gargantua system itself and maybe the Endurance but everything else is sorta soft sci-fi, and that doesn't make it bad.
  17. It's explained in the very scenes you picked these things up from
