Does anyone want plasma rockets?
Entropian replied to Jurassic kerbal's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
Well, the fusion reactor does, just it's likely it's a quasineutral plasma being ejected. -
totm sep 2021 [1.12] Stockalike Station Parts Redux (August 14, 2024)
Entropian replied to Nertea's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
No, @Nertea has already said that he will wait until 1.10.1 releases to update his mods. Also, please don't pester the mod developers for updates. -
Comet Neowise 2020! [August Hubble photo update]
Entropian replied to a topic in Science & Spaceflight
No luck here either. Clouds were completely obscuring the entire sky. Unfortunately for me I live near the equator, so the sun sets later, and thus, I have a smaller viewing window. -
This would be amazing. I spend far too much time switching between the map and vessel views during maneuver execution. If you don't have 2 monitors, the window could be put in front of the main window, and still be used. If you don't want that, it could just be a toggleable setting.

The Ancient KSP Commandments Of Entropian Commandment 1: Never play a 1.x.0 version. They're almost always buggy. Commandment 2: Take 1.x.1 versions with a grain of salt. Wait until mods have been updated.
-
That would be nice, but I think a toggleable option would still cause problems, such as in challenge rules and ranking. It has been experimentally proven that water does not remain in its liquid form in a vacuum. I also went to the MH2 thread and found your citations. I didn't know MH2 had been experimentally proven to be unstable at lower pressures. KSP isn't all about realism though. Look at the density of Kerbin!

Comet Neowise 2020! [August Hubble photo update]
Entropian replied to a topic in Science & Spaceflight
I went outside right before dawn, but there were clouds to the northeast and they completely obscured ~15 degrees of altitude. Luckily I can see a wide azimuth, so I can look at dusk and dawn. I got some blurry photos of the moon though: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ibwlmqjq2gty6u/IMG_5705.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/8qy1tyy6tfl9vwj/IMG_5727.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/fat1yboro5pqlhr/IMG_5734.JPG?dl=0 -
Comet Neowise 2020! [August Hubble photo update]
Entropian replied to a topic in Science & Spaceflight
I went out with my telescope this morning, but there were clouds on the horizon and it obscured the comet. I got a few glimpses of it in between the clouds though, so I'm going to try again tomorrow morning. -
[New] Space Launch System / Orion Discussion Thread
Entropian replied to ZooNamedGames's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I knew it was way too expensive, but that really puts it into perspective. -

Entropian replied to a topic in Science & Spaceflight
Yeah. NW after dusk (not for a few days), NE before dawn. -

Comet Neowise 2020! [August Hubble photo update]
Entropian replied to a topic in Science & Spaceflight
I'm trying to get a look at it, but the clouds here are really dense near the horizon. It's to the northwest at dawn and dusk in the northern hemisphere, right? -
A mod called Scatterer should help with that.

That canyon looks really good, especially from this view. Will the dimensions of the canyons remain the same, or are they going to be expanded?
-
What do you during those 20+ minute burns?
Entropian replied to fragtzack's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Chess or piano. -
I'm annoyed by how small everything is. Getting off Kerbin, or going really anywhere in the Kerbol system is really easy. Luckily there's mods for that though.

Hi, I'm trying to slave one craft's controls to another craft's controls during flight, but with no success. Is there a mod that can do this? Thanks.

Getting a relay close should fix it. Right click an antenna in the partlist and in the menu there's a range of ranges (pun unintended) for different level tracking stations. If the nearest relay or groundstation is out of that range, the probe loses connection. If you click on a probe core, one of the modules has a built in antenna, but it's really short range and definitely can't reach Kerbin from Minmus. Even if you aren't transmitting science, you still need an antenna to control the craft. Whenever you send any satellite, put an antenna on it.

Yes, the asparagus concept still works in a vacuum. Same concept, same understanding, just different environments. Gravity would affect the design of the rocket but the asparagus design still would work.

Entropian replied to Jurassic kerbal's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
I agree. I wasn't trying to say that they shouldn't be in KSP2, I was just correcting a minor flaw in what the OP stated. Scaling electric propulsion is something that definitely can be done, but IRL humans don't seem to be taking advantage of it. KSP2 isn't all about realism. Look at metallic hydrogen. Pleeeaase don't start the MH argument in this thread...
