    As for the information about ESCAPADE, the Wikipedia article's pretty interesting. It would have flown on Psyche, as the trajectory (before the launch was delayed) would have gone by Mars, so the 2 satellites could just hitch a ride then slow down at Mars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EscaPADE

    According to this neat document from 2014 about Dream Chaser, it said that it can land on any runway that's longer than 8,000 feet. https://www.icao.int/Meetings/SPACE2015/Presentations/5 - C. Lee - Sierra Nevada Corp.pdf Darn, the closest airport to me only have runways that are 4,158 and 7,505 feet long...

    For those who don't want to venture upon Xitter.

    If you want an easier way to get autostruts for all the parts, you can get Editor Extensions, amd it'll give you a menu to select which Autostruts you want and applies it to the entire craft.

    After searching for the videos, you can see how Dragon and Starliner feel so different. Even though Starliner has more capsule volume than Dragon (11 m^3 to 10), kinda weird.

    I believe SpaceX originally designed the Dragon capsule to hold 8, but NASA only needed 4. Don't remember where I heard it though. Oh, it's only 7. Found it on their website. Enough room for the crew and Soyuz. Starliner is also designed for 7, but somehow looks a lot more cramped.

    Flew to Utah today! I'm volunteering in a church camp that's exclusively for the deaf from around the country, so I got to fly out. Tomorrow, I'll start training with all the other counselors and next week, the kids will arrive

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49212-1 TL;DR: Scientists observing many problems with astronauts kidneys after returning from space, and blasting mice with radiation. Well, this is an interesting twist, kidneys are a lot more sensitive to radiation and break down differently. This means the radiation shielding will need to be different to help the kidneys last longer. However, the damage appears to be permanent.

    That may have something to do with how your orbits are drawn. In the settings, under Graphics, there's an option to change "Conic Patch Draw mode". The default is Relative, which can be a little weird, I prefer to use Local to Body, as it will draw exactly what my orbits will be around a specific moon or planet, i.e. Mun or Minmus, while transferring.

    It may be slower than stock, but not a crazy drop. On my computer, it only drops from 30 fps, on stock, to 28 with RSS/RO.

    Ah, wrong user, sorry. Hope someone comes by and helps with the solution.
  13. GuessingEveryDay
    Yes.

    Unless you add EVE and Scatterer, there won't be a noticeable difference in graphics as RO just changes the planet sizes. You would still have the same problems that stock KSP has with 3 digit part counts.

    Can take anywhere from 5 to 30 years, I don't think we should leave rocket boosters around for that long. https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/why-copper-turns-green/

    Well that begs the question, when are they doing night launches? The plume would look glorious.

    Whoops, forgot to say JNSQ, heh. I've been using it for so long, normal Kerbin looks weird now.

    Hey, we got bright terrain again for the biomes on 201. 200 is fine.

    I think it's been posted here before, but Evangelion saw the future. Chopsticks v5.0 catching the highly experimental Starship v6.6.6 that attempted to use blood as propulsion.

    KerbNet (right click on probe and "KerbNet Access") can show where your cursor is located on Earth, and shows degrees and minutes (not seconds). Going into Flight Info (Cheats by Alt+F12 and under Console) will give you the decimal coordinates. If you want a mod, you can use MechJeb or KER. Both will show DMS or decimal.

    What's the ISP though? Archimedes has 329s at SL and 365 in vacuum, but only 165,000 lbf (890 kN) at sea level. The Merlin 1-D has 195,000 (845 kN), and ISP of 282s at sea level and 311s at sea level. Aeon R on the right, Merlin 1-C on the other image. Archimedes down here.

    Also, that Intelsat footage is amazing to watch.

    Shuttle did have 3 once for when they captured a satellite that was spinning, STS-49. Technically Space Shuttle has the title of the first 3 on EVA, as Apollo 15, 16, and 17 had 2 astronauts go outside to recover film from an experiment mounted on the SM. Yes, all 3 were suited up, but only 2 actually stuck their heads outside, and only 1 person traveled across the ladder to grab the film.

    Destin gets another tour around a ULA facility (that's three now, I think.)

    Okay, Starship has already decided to be at 50m tall (minus booster), so the new National Team (NT) cargo lander seems to be 35 m when they have that payload carrying thing on top. So you have the option of sending 3 rovers on one Starship or 1 rover with NT... Sheesh, why can't the other teams do better? Also is this under a new competition or is it still the HLS with SpaceX getting $2.9 billion and NT gets $5.9?
