[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

I figured out how breaking ground works. I then made a wind turbine, a ferries wheel, and did a 22 day Minmus mission which gave me 4,984 science.

[Mohole on Bop?]

So one day, I was taking a look at the orbital map in the tracking station. Then I wondered, what color is Pol compared to Bop? I don't know why I asked myself this, but I looked for the answer. Upon closer inspection I discovered:

A: Pol is more orange and yellow compared to Bop

B: Bop has a hole on its North Pole, similar to the one on Moho

Upon discovering B, I looked at Moho, and then back at Bop, and realized they are almost identical sinkholes in the almost same spot. So is this a glitch in the map screen, or is this an actual Bop-Hole?

[SC Somalia - Flying VTOL Pirate Ship]

Very cool, how many parts is it?

[SURFACE BASES! Post pictures!]

Ok, so I will just cut to the chase. My company is not capable of handling anything over 50 parts. I know, sad. But I am also not what one would call “creative”. So I want to see some creations you guys made, specifically surface bases. So show me what you have !

 

[Mun Landing ! Weekly Challenge #1]

You must post a picture album or record a video for proof of your accomplishment.

Any mod not mentioned is not allowed. Be creative, and try some of the bonuses!

BONUSES- Apollo style (command and lander module)= 1 extra point

Land with a rover= 2 extra points

Land next to Easter egg (Armstrong monolith for example)= 5 extra points

NOTES- I donor know when I will judge the entries, it depends on how popular the challenge becomes. I will post the date as soon as I decide, but for now, YOU can make this challenge series more popular by giving this thread a good rating! Have a fun and safe Mun voyage!

[Life on Eve?]

The devs native language is not English, and the use of the word biome doesn't make sense, therefore the most logical explanation is that the devs chose the wrong word.

All bodies in ksp having life all over their surfaces is ridiculous.

I agree. I don't see how any form of life, even a microbe, would be able to survive on Eeloo or Moho. This brings me back to the main topic, could their be life on Eve? I was looking for evidence based on Eve's characteristics, but it was a good observation made by ExtremeSquared, even if it is just a flaw made by the developers.

If you look closely in the R&D building, the game claims there is life on every body. All biomes contain life, and every body contains biomes. It's probably not the same sort of life that we are familiar with -- even anaerobic Earth bacteria would struggle on Moho and Eeloo.

Interesting, I will look out for that. I wonder why KSC is being so secretive about it?

[Life on Eve?]

Hi, I am new to the forums. So, uh. . . hi.

It seems that the only possible life in the Kerbol System other than Kerbin is Laythe, which is why many people focus on traveling there. But what if there was life elsewhere, like Duna, Moho, or Eve. Eve's purple color is explained by iodine in the atmosphere. But what if it was because of another reason, one that supported life?

Tons of people don't know this, but Earth used to be purple, not green. Today, plant cells use something called chloroplast, which allows them to use photosynthesis and gives them green color. But many years ago when plant life was brand new, they used something else to use photosynthesis, and this gave them a purple color, not green. So is this why Eve is purple? Maybe, because the abundance of CO2 (what plants breathe) and sunlight could allow plant life to exist.

Of course, there is no way to prove this in the game right now, but it's always fun to speculate. I have not been to Eve yet, but it's on the top of my list!
