Awesome!!!

Really just a pleasure craft for lakes Boats really do suck gas (when you start pulling skiers+tubes) so an electric boat (with widespread use) could really save fuel

welp I'm dumb

So...for anybody that didn’t see my status update last week I was in Texas on a mission trip. We left from San Juan (from where we were working) to South Padre island. Last winter (while we were planning the trip) I managed to convince Sean (youth director+coordinator of the mission trip) to take us to Starbase. (Didn’t have to do much lol everyone thought it’d be awesome!) So, we were driving down the highway to Starbase....tall shrubs+trees were blocking our view on every side. We went around a bend, the shrubbery cleared...and across the wetlands I could see Phobos+Deimos. Heh...At this point I was pretty much screaming ‘GUYS! THAT’S PHOBOS AND DEIMOS! THOSE SUCKERS ARE GONNA BE FLOATING LAUNCH PLATFOOOORMS!!!’ Excited, to say the least. A little bit longer....and we saw Starbase. Still a Few miles out, but we could see the highbay, we could see SN15+16 standing proud. Beyond that, the launch site was in view....man, the tower was something to see!! We could see BN3...that shiny, shiny skyscraper booster. (Just MASSIVE!) we pulled over, and got out of the cars (two minivans+suv) I was really lightheaded at this point (couldn’t believe I was actually there!!) we started taking pictures...and we all started walking down Rocket Road (they had a sign for it lol) to SN15+16 You see the things in videos you see them in pictures but you don’t get a true sense of scale until you see it up close We were able to get so close toSN16 (<50 feet) (I got pictures galore of the two!) lemme tell you this- Elon Musk is one crazy SOB. He got a team that managed to make this Steel beast fly+bellyflop+land....I have full confidence that Starship will be successful. What they've done so far with this vehicle is absurd...I know they can make this thing work! Seeing that beast up close...was amazing. I’ll post some pics soon-ish (need to figure out how to move pics from my phone to my computer) the entirety of the time we were there...I was telling my comrades all about the Starship program, the vehicle, and that I’m gonna ride one to Mars someday. It was the best day of my life, no doubt about it. It’s gonna be hard to top it! Also, it is SHINY!! It’s a heck of a lot more shiny in person then in pictures. Cheers!! -Lewie Lol good point Artificial reefs! SpaceX really does care, see?

Alrighty So, for anybody that doesn’t know I have a lake cabin I live at for the better part of the summer. I got to thinking that with all the boats+gas that gets guzzled....would a Tesla boat be a viable idea? It certainly would have the power (slightly modified tesla motor) you’d have to imagine it’d be cheap (just one motor+batteries and what-not) but how much would the added weight of the batteries affect the boat’s performance? You guys are a lot smarter then me so I’d really like to see what you all come up with. I'm really talking about boats that would be used on lakes, ea. leisure craft for cruising around, pulling skiers+tubes etc. -Lewie

Doesn’t anybody else think the gridfins are gonna look real scuffed? kinda disappointing, to be honest. But that’s just me whining

They say the moon is made of cheese, Gromit SpaceX won the hls contract since they can bring the most moon cheese home (dang I got Kerbiloid vibes writing this)

Matt Lowne and TheBeardy Penguin(been watching for a looooong time) I watched their stuff for years, before I finally got the go-ahead to buy Kerbal....loved every second of it.

Poodmund’s calm skybox is breathtaking....nebulas and what-not. It’s a work of art

Man, this is awesome!!! Always a fantastic to learn about some of the inner workings of ksp2!

Wait....what’s this mod called? Sounds pretty interesting

Aw man...I’m gonna be active with the mission trip during the flight. Ah well. I love how ‘space for all’ is a big thing...it’s not. It’s space for the uber-rich with nothing better to do. *eye roll*

It was. The idea was for the player to find the sstv signals which would give you the orbital parameters of a hidden planet. This was not a good description, but the base idea. I know you can find a more detailed description somewhere on the forums.

Bingo. Steam thinks I’m 120 years old

It's good to see a company that CARES about their community like this!

Doona

YES

Brings a tear to my eye....thanks Squad for all the effort you all have put in over the years!!!!

cool!!

Here it is! The idea behind it is that after the asteroid has been pushed away from Kerbin, the upper portion remains to serve as a space hotel. Hope you enjoy! I hope you enjoyed this, I know I did!

I'm in

ohhhh nice!!!!

HOW?!? Dude, mad respect!!
