Minmus Taster

The KSP twitter account is showing a list of randomly generated Kerbals for December, seems to be a daily thing! December 1st: December 2nd: December 3rd: You are gazing into the eyes of the damned. Additionally we have another meme, not sure what engine that's supposed to be or if it's a totally new one, Mainsail perhaps?

Congratulations to the winners

I just realized that in a certain shot of the video the ship you see going around Dres and a similar lander you see on the mystery object were docked. It does have a slightly different paint scheme but it is worth mentioning here .

I really do hope this one brings Marvel back, it's been lukewarm at best over the past couple years.

Your on the KSP forums dude, not being nerdy would be an oddity here.

That's also possible but that's what Gurdamma is doing, I got my dying Kerbin theory from this picture which does kind of look like Lapat;

I doubt Lapat is gonna have anything in common with a rainforest considering what we have seen of it, wouldn't make sense to have just another Kerbin, that would be too easy. It's probably a desert-like planet given this shot of it from the air; I imagine it having a theme with some elements of Kerbins theme (like made with similar instruments) but with a different vibe, perhaps something somber considering it's probably in the second system which is theorized to be an older one.

I would assume everything they have shown even in passing is getting in, that late in development why would you just quit on already shownplanets? for example something like Lapat; the supposedly habitable exoplanet. Sure we haven't seen much of it but it's probably still in the game. Many people think it's gone but why would that be the case? of course some planets were cut early on but once they've actually shown them and named them why would they remove them? Development for KSP2 has been rough but only because of a contract shuffle and a pandemic, the game doesn't seem to be going that bad, it's just been slowed down by unfortunate events.

I really love the idea of planets getting themes but I doubt it will happen in stock for at least a bit. There was a mod for the first game that did this to an extent and it's incredible, just imagine what KSP2 could do if it did something like this at some point. Additionally moons could get something like a small tune, like if you go to Mun you'd hear a bit a Kerbins music but with some new stuff to mix into the new theme (because trying to make a theme for everything down to asteroid moons would be insane). I'd Imagine Kerbin having a soft-familiar tone until you go to Minmus or go into a distant orbit where it gets distorted and fractured until it's just a sad backround tun mixing into the music for solar orbit which would be a cold unfamiliar tune that gives you a sense of the distances your traveling, like the spaced out notes you hear in the soundtrack for Interstellar. Speaking of interstellar I'd imagine that that would just be a drone to communicate the complete void the player is currently inside.

Oh wow, I didn't know that had another attempt this year! good luck to JAXA on getting this one right

NASA can't be THAT stupid, there must be some sort of way to shield the crew or abort for Earth. To think they could get that negligent would be actually sickening.

I miss you Snoopy

OK so I don't use Steam for ksp but why is this being so blown out of proportion? I get why people are mad, it's not a good change and sort of makes Steam pointless. But people are acting like the game was just ruined, it's just a dumb launcher and the game is mostly the same since the last update. And yes sadly yes, if it isn't changed ksp2 will probably be like this but who cares? Just don't buy it off Steam and have to deal with the second launcher.

Hey let's hold off the hate until it comes out (if it comes out).

I noticed Gop quite awhile ago, probably a "proto minmus" of some sort. As for the end of the video I think that the SOI's of the moon system he found were too large to actually be connected by gravity (also the symbols involved were something not used on planets). I think that this could be the new star system map and the bubbles were the new stars SOI's. I noticed that there were four bubbles though which could be a fatal flaw in the theory. But the third one could just be Kerbol and the fourth could just be another system which is either kept secret and planned for later or cancelled.

3 months until the fandom either rejoices or falls into shambles lmao

Titan as seen by MIRI:

I didn't realize it was on the Netflix show until I saw all of it

Is it not being recovered this time around? or did they lose it?

Infrared requires more cooling, a telescope like Carl Sagan would need a larger shield but not as many layers.

Any news on the solar sail? OMOTENASHI is gone but I haven't heard anything yet about NEAscout.

It's over, RIP OMOTENASHI It was a good flight, crew did a great job trying to save the probe, best of luck to they're next lander in a year or two.

But will it remain in earth orbit or will it go into a solar orbit?
