That’s for the mothers of Cub scouts (the junior version of Boy Scouts) actually Oh, and I think Inspiration4 is great!! It’s not tacky like Bezo’s and Branson’s flights...they’re actually doing good stuff instead of a joyride. I’ve said this (in the Spacex thread) but it’s appropriate to repeat it here I have a friend who is a childhood cancer survivor, and anther who lost her older brother to childhood cancer...this mission means a lot to both of them

..... good idea! (I should’ve thought of this....I do that in RP-1 for that very purpose) will implement that tonight. However, it’s not really the first stage that is the problem. It works fine (albeit it is uncontrolled) the idea is for it to gain altitude+speed. Now, the second stage is the problem. It is controlled, but it is INSANELY flip happy. Maybe spin stabilization would work, I’m gonna try just auto holding prograde. Thanks for the advice

Alrighty, here is my first post..my space program has had an er....rocky start...

Thanks, that's really appreciated! I'll make sure to post tonight or soontm

I've been wrapping up DOOM: Eternal (ancient gods dlc) on PS5, and Empyrion Galactic Survival. Other games include Just Cause 3, Hitman 2, G-mod, and my second playthrough of Black Mesa+Half Life 2. Speaking of which.... And a lil thingy I found That warning label on the sign appears to be identical to the same type of label from some LEGO sets! (it's sandwiched between the minifigure by the green tool box and the car with a drill) Is it a reference or just a really common label? (or maybe some lazy devs lol. I take that back, the devs for BM did an outstanding job, and the game is truly a joy to play) As long as we are talking about legos/Hitman...I just learned that David Bateson voiced all of the old lego commercials! I went back and watched a couple...and yes, it was indeed Agent 47. Kinda neat, eh?

@jimmymcgoochie Sorry! I have been playing lately, but I have also been incredibly busy! ROTC at 7, school gets done at 3:15, go to work, get done at 8:15, after homework we're looking at around 11 pm. I have time today, so I will make some progress+post it. Cheers!

@Cuky has a point man, it’s easy to forget how big those tiles are. Wonder how much a single one costs. (Are there any details on that?) INow THAT was a good read! Maybe add some radiation shielding to a Starship that you know won’t be coming back, make it a more permanent crew living quarter. I find the initial crews if 10-20 people more realistic. I believe 100% that Spacex can get Starship to work as intended+colonize Mars. I do find it hard to believe that 100 people will be willing to cram into a single SS. I always thought that 20-30 people was a more realistic crew capacity. Heck, maybe Spacex will be able to cram 100 people in one. Doesn’t sound too fun, to be honest. Not that the goal of these missions are to be fun, of course.

I’d say it probably would come down to where they’re from.... Cali? Not a chance! But I don’t see WHY they would have trouble recruiting/retaining female employees. I would hope that Spacex’s vision....to make humankind a multi-planetary species would be more important then the new law. When you think about the reasons why an employee would leave vs. the vision of Spacex it’s kinda ironic. Also, a quick note on the treatment of SpaceX employees (specifically the Starbase employees) When I visited Starbase, there was an entire grass lot (well manicured, not a bunch of crabgrass) filled with Air Stream campers. Now, those Air Streams are pretty nice, so I’d say it’s safe to say Spacex does care about their employee’s welfare. another note- The inspiration4 Netflix documentary has been great so far! It really goes in-depth with HOW and WHY each of the crew members was chosen and the impact it’ll have on spaceflight. I have a friend who is a childhood cancer survivor and another friend who lost her older brother to childhood cancer...I cannot tell you how much this mission means to both of them. (I think we’re doing good with talking ‘bout the effects on Spacex vs. the law itself) Is there anybody making wall paper out of these? It’s gorgeous! You hear about the massive size of SS/SH...you see the videos...but when you see it IRL... The sheer size of SH isn’t captured in photos! When I saw BN3 (F) it’s just....WOW!! Spacex built a SKYSCRAPER! That can fly!!!! And they’re gonna catch it!! somebody pinch me, I still can’t believe any of this....

And yet they’ve accomplished....what? A joyride for the uber-rich? Yes, BO has a good vision but their progress/pr has yet to reflect that

Y’know, would Squad ever make some Kraken plushies? (I’m on mobile but I’ll get an image in later) I’m sure that a lot of you guys know what the kraken looks like. (It was in one of the early trailers....I believe 0.22 (I could very well be wrong) I’m sure it’d be a cute lil thing, and we would indulge in the glory of capitalism and gobble them up would be a great product...any thoughts?

[snip] Has there been any clue as to when the FAA/environmental review will be done?

Aw man, it was starting to grow on me! Still, you guys know best...can’t wait to see the newer HUD! also- YEs YES YES YES YESSSSSSS THAT’s SO KOOL!!!!!!

congrats guys!!!

Let’s do this! Can’t wait to get started...good luck!

Aslan Kerman (and Lem!)

My mic arrived!

I know I’m not saying they should, SLS does have importance as a jobs program. But is it a mess? yeah...it is Spot on!

Holy cow!!! That would be wicked to see irl! I find it best just to launch into a slightly power orbit (5km less) and just wait. (Thank the kraken fir better timewarp!) I usually end up within 5-10 km without doing any burns except my orbital insertion, and very minor target/anti-target burns are required.

‘If we can’t do a rocket for 11.5 billion, we should close up shop’ ‘The Space agency and its traditional contractors could do they job better then anyone, he said’ And this guy is Nasa’s administrator? Well....how about that

Yes, you can haz them all Can I be head moderator?

Question is....what will come first, GTA6 or HL3? Given SpaceX’s pace, my money is on them reaching the Mun before Star Citizen is released

Man, that launch was crazy....kudos to Astra for being able to recover from that. Better luck next time

I discovered the beauty of modding Black Mesa another mod replaces the zombies/headcrabs's audio with Gabe Newell talking...

Click, comrades!

Alright, I’m in! (For real this time, lol)
