I use clipping often because I like my vehicles to look realistic. For me, unless the situation is dire, form > function. IRL, things aren't made of a small selection of parts, they are custom designed for their purpose. Clipping can help offset the limitations of a parts inventory, while keeping its benefits.

When I'm watching one of @ShadowZone's videos, and I hit the arrow keys to rotate the view.

Ah. So no gimballing for engines which are not running, then.

That'll roast some marshmallows! Cleaned off that dirt slope, too! Beautiful! Moon, here we come!

I thought that with Starship, the hydraulic fluid was propellant or oxidiser? Am I wrong? Perhaps I misunderstood...

Yer band!

Also, spot welds aren't known for being extraordinarily heat resistant.

Sure. But the vibrations? And replacement concerns, as voiced by @mikegarrison above.

Who, me? Hello!

Neither have enough mass IRL to produce gravity. And this would kinda mess up asteroid fuel depots and things, since they'd be on rails.

Welding is ridiculous! The vibrations and thermal expansion will tear them apart! Are they really doing that!?!?

Living clothes? That would be a fad at best, and horribly impractical. Not to mention that herbaceous plant stems generally don't have the tensile strength to resist tearing. Using these for work clothes would be kinda silly.

Bigger landing legs? Yes! SpaceX clones? NO!!!!!! Why? See my previous post in this thread. Also yes to reskins of older parts, and new fuel tank skins, like pure, seamless white and a matte black theme. I would love to see more aircraft parts, like engines.

He's left many places, but he often returns. Right? I would like to leave him behind, though...

And "Henry L. Stimson" stamped on his forehead from running into bulkheads, I'm sure. Poor fellow... Think short, think thin...

But as we all know, this money comes from trees!

10/10 Just throw him a bone!

Banned for having a crazy longship-loving space Scandinavian as your avatar.

Ah. I should have checked... Also, is Dragon XL still a thing? Or would Musk cancel it and move its tasks to Starship?

If we could actually do time warp, we wouldn't be able to tell. If you increase the rate of the flow of time across the universe, then the only observer who could tell the rate had changed would be one outside the universe. We would all eat a bowl of cereal or read at the same rate relative to our surroundings as before. To see the change, you need a universal standard which is not affected by the time warp, the way you exist outside your computer. I say outside the universe because anything inside will experience the same compression, the way a ruler would still read 100 cm even if you shrunk it and the rest of the universe by the same scale factor.

I like the second one and the last one... Also, is this the largest thread in the forum? I mean, 1000 pages...

It would also oxidize kinda fast...oh, wait, this is space. Nvrmnd.

US carriers in WWII had to carry as many planes as possible, in order to cover the huge Pacific expanse, and so the decks were loaded with fighters and torpedo bombers, which were built at a faster rate than carriers to hold them. British carriers were not designed to deal with enemy carrier air groups defending targets; their targets were German and Italian battleships and cruisers, or land targets. No fighters needed, though they were often embarked.

Hah! Most of engine design consists of balancing pressures in the system, so that everything comes out just right.

Ah. You have tried to cheat the universe. But it does not work. Seriously, though, the self-consistency of physics never ceases to amaze me.
