  1. All good points! whoops...well. I thought they were still on the ICPS. Better go make some edits!
  2. Hi all- I don’t know the best way to jump into this (I’m not good with words, unlike my namesake) so uh yeah. I got a concussion last February. I was walking outside, slipped on an icy patch and hit the back of my head on the sidewalk. It’s odd...it honestly didn’t hurt that bad. It’s kinda funny cus just a few seconds after I fell I blacked out. The paramedics arrived and whisked me away, and asked me questions...I couldn’t remember my name, where I was, what year it was, or who the current president is, etc. I was taken to the hospital, got put in a bed...I honestly don’t remember the rest....and that’s the problem....I can’t remember anything anymore. Dates, times, places, they are all a blur...you can ask me what I had for lunch yesterday, I won’t remember. Play some song lyrics for me, I won’t remember the song. This has been a huge problem in school, as I’ll work on a concept one day...and won’t have any clue about it the next. This is especially fun with my parents...I’ll tell them i simply cannot remember how to do said math problem...my mom’s answer is ‘bull crap, yes you do! Now do it!’ But I can’t!! I gave up guitar (I just....lost musical ability with this. Piano, ukulele, harmonica, guitar...all gone) I fear that this is going to have life-long implications...does anybody have any ideas/know anything about this kind of injury? cheers- Lewie
  3. Aw, it’s always good to see your stuff here! Well, better this then get burned out. Take care Doc!! Miss ya already
  4. Starship is just as real as SLS...mark our words, the ‘paper’ rocket will launch before the ‘real’ one. The technology put into SLS was designed in the 60’s and 70’s...yes, the RS-25 is a good engine, but it’s easy to argue Raptor is better. One instance for example, is how Spacex can swap a Raptor out in a matter of HOURS. (Also installed 29 in ONE night!) to replace ONE valve on an RS-25 took what, a month? I do not doubt that SLS won’t work, but I do know that it will never be an economical rocket. Hell, it already is. It was supposed to launch what, 5 years ago? The same time Spacex announced the ITS? And now Spacex is going to make SS work.... SLS will work, but will be overshadowed by Starship. ’maybe it’s the most capable, but other then that landing that barely worked it’s entirely paper’ *deep breath, count to ten* Yes, when SS/SH is up and running it will be the most capable, most powerful rocket ever built. It can (and will) blow SLS out of the water. It will be cheaper (SLS costs what, $3 billion per LAUNCH? Please, tell us how that is sustainable!) Vs. Starship which will cost a mere fraction of that price. ‘That little landing’ is one of (if not the most) audacious concepts in spaceflight history. Except it’s not a concept....Spacex has demonstrated it. They will continue to pull it off, and will only refine it in the near-future to the point SS is human rated. In a few weeks (Elon time, so probably a month/ month and a half) SS/SH will launch....something that SLS has supposed to have done half a decade ago. Look, SLS is laughable, Starship....not so much. It’s the most ambitious project in decades (actually, ever!) and from what we have seen so far, I have full confidence in it and the success of the project. cheers! -Lewie
  5. It’s rather disheartening, really (the yt discord servers) no respect is shown, and it’s the definition of toxicity. (TheBeardyPenguin’s server is actually pretty nice, but his fellow Brit....eh, not so much) Couldn’t have said it better! This place is the one corner of the Internet that really warms my heart+is like a home!
  6. Aw man....I wish I had a cat! well, I guess I’m taking my girlfriend shopping for one, so it kinda works out.
  7. Depends...some people set an arbitrary goal (ea. Plant a flag on every celestial body+complete the tech tree) but KSP is never over...there is always something you can do! @klgraham1013 and @kerbiloidsummed it up perfectly!! Bingo!
  8. Japris Stellar Neighborhood (thanks to @DunaManiac for developing this great mod+showing me sneak peeks before an update!) Restock/Restock+ RSS/RP-1 Waterfall Scatterer Kerbal Engineer Redux TUFX Texture replacer (for making Kerbals more diverse) and is any list complete without the Scott Manley texture pack?
  9. No words can describe this....you folks at Intercept blow us away!!!!
  10. Man, that’s kind of a bummer! Would have been neat to see ‘em in action. Another case of the best part is no part, or probs too complicated/unnecessary?
  11. Ohh, thanks!! It’s crazy...it’s just SO BIG!! Holy..... are they trying to make this as crazy as possible?? Did Elon confirm hot gas thrusters are out of the equation?
  12. Yes, I am a teen. No, I do not think smoking weed is a good idea. Cool? Heck no! Is it a ‘meme number?’ you betcha! Do I think a bunch of pot heads built starship? ‘Course not. I’m just saying it’s a ‘funny number’ y’know...Elon IS a meme lord... Bingo but ya I’m rather bummed, I was at work for the entire stacking!! You lucky ducks got to see t live! I think one of the things that really impresses me about SS/SH is the decoupling...how on Earth did those SpaceX engineers devise a system to hold a 1200 ton Starship on a booster?? (Seriously does anyone know anything about this?) I didn’t finish watching Tim Dodd’s interview with Elon, so....whoops. Gonna have to do that soon!
  13. WHooohoo!!! that’s so freaking cool!!!!!! Sls, eat your heart out!
  14. YES I've been watching Beardy for many years (10,000 subs gang) It's great to see that he's doing better and back to content creation!!!
  15. This one rings true with some stuff that has gone on in my personal life...my discord buds know allll about it. Thanks guys for letting me rant to you! My friends and I love to tear around listening to Green Day..but this song especially! Ocean Avenue really hits home... I had a really good friend of the name Vytoria...she moved to Rapid City (351 miles away) last school year...we didn't even get to say good bye (her dad did it on a whim...he's a nutjub. Once brought home a homeless dude her met in a bar 'because he was cool/ the guy then went and peed on their couch....) Anyways, Tori and I were really, really good friends...and she left lost contact with her over the summer and I know that if I could find her now....things would get better. Teenage heartbreak queen also hits home in this manner...."I fell in love with my best friend, she fell in love with with you instead, cus she's a teenage heartbreak queen, oh it's me and my misery' that's exactly what happened....I fell for Rebekah Some.....stuff happened now she might be with Grant (former friend of mine) and it's just me and my pain (depression...4+ years now) ironic thing is that Rebekah is deaf, and a song rings true about us!
  16. But I do! (I’m just slow on the uptake...gonna blame it on when I hit my head)
  17. I just realized.... Ship 20 Booster 4 420 Nice one, Elon!
  18. Must..buy...best...game...EVER!!!!

      Oh my kraken...

      I even use Dodo Labs!! This is cool!!!!

  19. Jeff Bezos’s personal insecurities maybe. Methinks this is all about the ‘couldn’t get it up(to orbit) lol’ comment. (I also think this is why BO has been so whiny about the whole dealio) Compensation much? I mean...look at New Shepherd. As far as flying phallic objects go, it takes the cake.
  20. Pictures from my trip to Starbase!!! I'm tiny right up next to the letters.... Friends+Starships=heck of a great time! Fr. Tony and I with SN15+16 I like this one for a scale I tol 'ya that they named it Rocket Road! And that's the best ones! I have a LOT more, but they're a pain to upload
