  1. "Was Mars supposed to be red or blue? I forget. Oh well, it's probably blue, cause that's what I'm seeing right now."
  2. Thought you guys would be interested in that centrifuge development. I have some random shots from making one of them. FreeIVA got weird when I tried it. Leaving the seat made the whole thing rotate without you.
  3. There is a mod that adds Psyche-shaped solar panels: Near Future Solar. I highly recommend it anyway just because it's cool. So's everything else in Near Future Technologies.
  4. Journey of the Avocado A Jool 5 Mission Report Long ago, (March 2023 I think) I set a goal of completing a Jool 5 before the end of the year. I began working on a Jool 5 ship but lost momentum pretty quickly. At that point, I hadn't even been to Duna, I was so inexperienced. Late November 2023, I picked up the muster to try it again- but it would be different this time. This time, I would do it on a science save, and get an actual reward from all this. Probably complete the tech tree, too. Arbitrarily, I named my ship the Avocado- and all the ships have kept an avocado naming rule as a result. To start with, I would launch a nuclear tug, but split it into two major parts- the first, relatively simple, and the second, like the first, but with four more radially placed and asparagus staging. Am I overdoing this just to compensate for my lack of skill? Maybe. Does it make me feel better about the chances of this working? Yes. And so, without further ado... Pit 1 launch: The launch of Pit 2: Docking the two Pits: Tada! Next, I will add a module with reaction wheels and more monoprop, because I ran out of it and it turns really slow without RCS. The Avocado is not complete. In my science save, I have the crew module docked, but I will have to post that another time. Coming up next on Journey of the Avocado: Launching the crew module (and a maneuvering module)!
  5. Here's an idea for a game I've had. The posts will construct a sentence, one word at a time! Rules: Each post adds one word to the current sentence. The previous order of the words cannot be changed. If this is broken, refer to Rule 7. The sentence may end up being grammatically incorrect. If this happens, refer to Rule 7. Punctuation does not matter. You may add it if you wish, but if you feel concern, please refer to Rule 7. Names count as a word. The next person can choose to expand the name, or not. If a name you wanted to happen didn't, refer to Rule 7. Keep it appropriate and follow the forum rules, please. In case of stress or concern, refer to Rule 7. You do not control the sentence. You may have a vision in mind for the sentence, it will not happen. If that upsets you, refer to Rule 7. "DON'T PANIC." -Douglas Adams Example: User1234: Jebediah IKerbalthereforeIam: Jebediah built Theexplosionscientist: Jebediah built a Spaceshuttle: Jebediah built a rocket. Snacks The last user ended the current sentence by adding a period. They also pick the next starting word. The first starting word is: Explosions Compendium of Completed Sentences: No longer up to date. Let me know if I missed any sentences.
  6. Granted. The Earth and Pluto are swapped, and billions of years from now life on Pluto, which has an atmosphere now from the melted and boiled ice, will wonder how the heck some planet past the orbit of Neptune has the remains of an intelligent civilization. Meanwhile, everyone on Earth is dead, dead, dead, and colder than a popsicle in liquid nitrogen. I wish I always won rock-paper-scissors-shoot.
  7. Anyone who assumes we only have bones from dinosaurs to speculate from is banned. (Those people who put forth ideas on the mating habits etc. are not bad, they are merely putting forth ideas and in most cases don't claim to "know" these things, a lot of what we "know" about extinct animals is guesswork. These behaviors can also be determined from coloration (which in rare cases can be determined), i.e. you have a red crest, you probably use that to attract mates, and many behaviors can be estimated from body type, how much it's like living animals with certain behaviors, where it lives, and so on.) (Also there's a lot you can tell from a single bone, like muscle scars, bite marks, strength, shape, markings, the list goes on.) (I like dinosaurs. I like ranting about them.) (Sorry.) :whatweneedisashruggingemoji:
  8. Will do. Not sure about what you mean by "last rules post" but I'll do my best. Game Rules. These are the game rules. As per instructions from the moderators. There is to be no role play elements to the battle. Simple exclamations that we are getting ahead or falling behind, or saying you need help are fine, but no suggestion that you are part of an army or fantasy faction in some epic confrontation. It is more or less attempting to reach a goal line and passing to another with the same goal or getting intercepted by someone going the other way. There is a term used in the forums called "Being Ninja'd". Basically if while you are typing your post someone else posts a move and you don't see it till you have refreshed your page. This then causes you to have to edit your post to correct for the new number. It is then not unheard of for someone to post before you have had a chance to edit your post and so a cascade effect happens. To make clear your original intent in the hopes of lessening this, These are the rules for posting as follows. When posting please preface your number by one of 4 letters. P if you are trying to get the score to +70 N if you are trying to get the score to -70 Z if your goal is to get the score to zero C if you are chaotic and just post as you feel, but your number must only be 1 different from the last post put. The addition of the number 1 or the subtraction of the number 1. By doing this a player can see what you intended to put and post knowing what it would be if you had not been ninja'd. There is a 5 minute rule for individual number posts done by you, this is to minimize spam and ninja posting. To post a new number post, there are 4 rules that must be followed for it to be considered valid. To make a valid number post, 1: Your previous post must say it was made 5 minutes or greater before your current. 2: Any other player must have posted a number post between your last post and your new post. 3: Your post must be only 1 number different from the last post. Clarification: The number must be the whole number known as 1, spelt One. Either the addition of 1 or the subtraction of 1. 4: Your number must have a preface letter. All new games must start with a "0" . If you posted the winning post, be it +70 or -70 , then it is asked that you copy this post into a new post and update the tally so that this is at the beginning of a new game. Tally of Wins Positives: 16 Negatives: 11 Why, look at that. I found a tally on page 864, which seems to be the most recent win. (It was negative.)
  9. Floor 4340: Someone googling "Hypercane" and then going down an internet rabbit hole about storms on other planets.
  10. "I have sabotaged the mission, leaving only myself to walk on Mars. I have done this because they all insisted on the first words being 'one small step' and I felt that was unoriginal, so I took the logical choice and blew off the hatch before they could get their spacesuits on. I'm sure I underwent no psychological damage from the six-month journey in a tiny tin can!"
  11. Banned for not supporting my theory that dinosaurs developed sentience right at the location of the impact and all evidence of it was wiped away.
