  1. Ok, but NFLV just has big tanks and engines, no electric propulsion or anything, just chemical...
  2. KSPIE is quite overpowered for this, I think. I've never used BDB or Tantares, so I'll probably go with Near Future Launch Vehicles, Cryo Engines+Tanks, Stockalike Station Parts Expansion Redux, and stock parts if that's fine. Kerbal Atomics is way too overpowered for this.
  3. Learn to play chess. It will serve you well later in life.
  4. Again, you say? @Vanamonde @Gargamel @peteletroll @Dman979 @DuoDex @Angel-125 @Val @Deddly @goldenpeach @James Kerman @Supernovy @Starhawk
  5. Really? @Vanamonde @Gargamel @peteletroll @Dman979 @DuoDex @Angel-125 @Val @Deddly @goldenpeach @James Kerman @Supernovy @Starhawk
  6. Wow, the fora software is really freaking out.
  7. SLS: Scandalous Lithium Sulfide
  8. Maybe this guy can be the impostor:
  9. We can freeze the locks with LN2:
  10. Just noticed a related problem: the preview for who has the latest post in a thread also shows non-moderator-approved posts appearing.
  11. As far as I know, the Corsair was basically the biggest engine you could fit into the smallest airframe. The gull wing (I think that's the term) was for folding the wings for efficient storage on aircraft carriers and allowing the giant propeller blades to fit. EDIT: Ok, I double-checked my knowledge of the P-51. It was meant to be unusually high altitude, so that may have had an effect on the wing design. Mustangs were mainly bomber escorts during WW2 on the Western Front. The problem with current escorts was that the Luftwaffe was shifting from the Eastern Front to the Western, so a new, more effective design was created to continue the Allied bombing campaign. EDIT 2: Just remembered the bonus question. The P-38 had problems with mach tuck during development and service and sub-optimal maneuverability was also present. The P-51 was also cheaper and had a fighting chance against the rising jet era of aviation. The P-38 was also designed as a medium bomber, but when jets like the P-80 were developed, there was no need for them, as the newfangled jets could provide more and better bombing services.
  12. "on an epicycloid" in/on, but not by.
  13. Looks legit to me. Diamond anvil cells... isn't graphene supposed to be a room-temperature, standard pressure superconductor?
  14. You would have to really want that cargo delivered fast, and you would have to pay an arm and a leg for it...
  15. Wow, compared to the $50 million SpaceX got that seems pretty disproportionate. What's their reason for giving ULA so much more profitssssssss?
