Yesterday & today was the 110th Anniversary of the Titanic's sinking.
I know this is like the second result on google but it looks very good.

Ok so it's ACTUALLY august 22nd now.
Perhaps I treated DDE to harshly.

Kerbin is almost done. I've made some huge optimizations to how the geometry is rendered and now I've managed to get a much better density of objects. Technical stuff below, but the picture first!
Ironically, I was limited by draw calls which this scatter system is supposed to reduce. Before the above optimizations, foliage was being rendered on a per-quad basis - each quad being its own draw call. Now I've rewritten part of the compute shader responsible for culling so that it combines every object's position from every quad and writes them to a single buffer which is used to render from. This took a scene with much less foliage than the one above from ~110 FPS to 160+ with a significant CPU usage reduction. Safe to say, it was worth the effort!
My PC's fan went faster just from looking at this, it looks stunning.

They're supposed to be collidable. If that so, navigation through DebDeb system should be quite interesting.
The whole system seems to be full of rings, this should be interesting.

Tell me this one wasn't the GOAT, Il wait.
Please be gentle it's a joke.

Camera vs eye chicanery, anecdotals as source (specially since everyone seemingly has super eyes and lives in the middle of the Niue pacific dark spot when arguing what they can see). All of that has been gladly debunked, and we know (thanks to hard source chasing and original investigation work through simulation software) what a camera is capable of doing, and what the sky would look like in a myriad of situations. We've beaten that horse into jelly on what still is the most replied to single-idea thread on the suggestions forum.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and those are to be respected, but opinions are not facts, and we've worked hard enough on the facts already.
For example, this is an opinion (which I don't agree with):
This image depicts a fact, that no matter how high you crank up the exposure (even to perfectly see nebulae), stars alone will not light your ship up:
And to dispel further chicanery, even with the human eye, you'd need a perfectly bright white ship to discern its silhouette in starlight alone, mathematically calculated:
Just for the record, is that the Roci in space engine?

A few screenshots from yesterday's video:
This is one of the ships from the video when it's near a star.
SpoilerThis is it supposedly during transit:

I zoomed in - think its an "o". If you look at the 'u' in Altitude it has a different shape -assuming the same font.
Gop it is...
...now, what is it?
It seems to have a large SOI so it's at the very least a moon, probably smaller than Donk.
The idea of Gurdamma and Donk is to give an idea of What Kerbin & Mun looked like after forming, Gop could be a sort of Proto-Minmus.
It may have a larger SOI due to it being father away from Gurdamma.
-
I noticed that there seems to be another moon orbiting Gurdamma, I read the name a "Gop" but it's hard to say for sure:
In retrospect I kind of see a U instead of an O.

Are...these ALL stars you can visit?
It's beautiful :,)

Lavochkin: Luna-25, Vostochnyi-Lunar South Pole, August 22
That would be July my friend
Can't wait to see this program come back, it's already done so many amazing things & I can't wait to see what it will do next.

Hey all, back with another small update on the next update, along with some things I'm looking into. First up, I've been working on creating alien flora for Laythe. I've not finished all the objects I want to yet, but this screenshot was too good to pass up on!
Once the scatters are mostly done, I want to look into optimizing the tessellation performance - potentially moving some of it to a compute shader to free up some CPU speed and reduce how many times per frame the GPU needs to tessellate. I'll be posting more updates as development continues. As always, I'm really looking forward to being able to share this with you all when it's done
Never seen Laythe look so alive, looks more like a beachy Pandora then a grey/brown mesh.

It took me a while to a) find this thread and b) get the right screenshots, but to expand on this point a little:
Note the two Kerbals for scale here, and the cuboid-shaped girder they're floating beside. There are four segments in the girder, each of which looks about as long as two Kerbals are tall.
Now look a couple of seconds earlier in the trailer to see the full ship:
See those tiny structural bits on that ship? Those are the same girders!
It's only by having these two images side by side that I really realised just how
MASSIVE
that ship actually is. If Kerbals are just one metre tall including their helmets, that engine is fifty metres across, minimum; the radiation shield in front of it, probably over 100m wide.
Assuming that engine is in fact 50 metres in diameter, I'd estimate the ship's total length is at least 300 metres.
So to conclude: How big will ships get in KSP2? Very, very, VERY big!
I wonder how big you can actually make them, I'm guessing at least twice that.

The legend reutrns.

Since those sanctions are not going anywhere any time soon this effectively ends the cooperation on the ISS, I would not be shocked if this also meant Russians stopped re-boosting the station, which would lead to the end of the ISS in general

The devs posted on Facebook yesterday that Dres is no longer going to be part of KSP2. This should, effectively, end the discussion about whether or not the planet is real.
Check the post date.

Congrats to all who won

I don't know what to say, I've never heard of Dres before.

UPDATE
Bluedog Design Bureau v1.10.0 "тролл"
I'm excited to announce the BDB v1.10 update! Over the last two weeks I have been secretly working behind the scenes to make never before seen highly requested sets of parts! I tried my best to keep this under wraps to surprise everyone, I hope y'all enjoy this update!!

v1.10.0 "тролл"

- Saturn Nova Rocket
- Pegasus Upper Stage (ETS)
- Pioneer Venus (finally)
- KH-11
- Big Apollo
- Small Gemini
- Bigger Gemini
- Rogallo Gemini
- Added Soyuz Parts
- 15 new single part satellites that no one has ever heard of before
- New delta blue paint variants for Saturn V parts
Updates and Enhancements
- 58 additional texture variants for agena to represent every single flown and unflown variant of Agena
- A new, sorely needed science part called a "magnetometer"! BDB has never featured this sort of experiment and we are excited to feature one after all this time
- All part descriptions and titles have been converted to the cyrillic alphabet for 'authenticity'.
- All tags have been removed to encourage creativity and exploration of our parts. Good luck trying to make historical craft!
- DDS compressed each texture file 3 times over to save 12 MB in file space. Hope you like your textures with a hefty side of green and purple pixels.Bug fixes
- Removed Delta IV (it is not a true Delta)
- Removed HerobrineNever before have I been so offended by something that I thought was 100% hilarious XD

It's not uncommon to have millennials be grand parents now.
When you get old enough is it just living past the warranty? isn't the "warranty" in question your mid/late 20's since that was a humans average lifespan back before civilization?Or is your warranty when you can't reproduce? I've heard of some animals who's groups abandoned them to die after they could no longer have children.
And is there a warranty on your mind? of course your brain rots over time but the mind inside of it could probably last longer if your aging brain didn't destroy it.
