  1. She couldn't have anyway; the anime aired from February-May 2007, and Miku made her debut in August of that year.
  2. I've seen the "water on Mars" before, but not the "Milky Way" one. edit: MOM is only an orbiter, it didn't land on the surface
  3. That would mean going inside a star.
  4. Firefox + NoScript works well at blocking potentially malicious scripts/pop-ups/whatever. But I found it here. I tried whitelisting everything with NoScript - it was risky, but my PC wasn't attacked - a bunch of banner ads but no pop-ups or other bad things. It was a pretty good series. Relevant fan art (by 芸éÂâ€Ã¨â‚¬â€¦) featuring Hatsune Miku (no, she does not make an actual appearance in the anime):

    Vocaloids

    Although Vocaloids do not have "official" personalities, their personalities are "blank slates" that can be interpreted by fans in almost any way. and an anime fan is not the same as a weeaboo

    What's so creepy about it, it doesn't feel very "uncanny valley" to me.

    As you can obviously tell, I love Hatsune Miku, she is my favorite singer of all time. (I don't believe virtual singers will replace singers who physically exist, but rather coexist with them.)
  8. Zeus is a more fitting name for a super-heavy lift rocket (>100 metric tons) Although I said Hermes reminded me of the cancelled European shuttle, I would prefer Vulcan despite it being the name of a Russian rocket concept. edit: I just realized the Ariane 5 first stage engine is called Vulcain
  9. The Vulcan and Zeus options are now available for voting
  10. Without 1.0 and stock resources, I'm not really sure what the next mission will be, sorry.
  11. "Hermes" tends to remind me of a cancelled European space shuttle.
  12. People learning the basics of astronautics will get confused (unless written as Delta 5), and the latter is the name of a Japanese solid-fuel launch vehicle. Maybe they should call it Atlas VI (image source).
  13. I have to say, I am truly impressed by your attention to every single detail.
  14. Mission 64: Peregrine Falcon Description: A robotic spacecraft designed to grab a small asteroid and return it to Kerbin with parachutes. Mass at launch: 14795 kg Mass of asteroid: 2350 kg Launch vehicle: Symphony-10t-4S Mission objective: Rendezvous with the A-class asteroid MGV-517 "Hideo" (named after the rocket scientist Hideo Kerman), then retrieve it and land it on Kerbin.

  15. Thanks, but that's not how they would deploy. They just fold out like most solar panels. Also, hexagons are cool and futuristic-looking.
  16. Thanks, all of you. Space Station "Mirai" insignia: (font: ITC Legacy Sans LT Bold)
  17. Note that this is a Solid Edge render (with post-processing in GIMP) and is not the final version that will appear in Orbiter.
  18. I have a country on NationStates (Hatsunia), but I don't really follow the issues that much or do story RPs. Instead, I use it as an theme for my "Hatsunese space program" of Orbiter add-ons.
  19. If I wanted to play this, how would I upgrade the graphics card on this computer? I checked SystemRequirementsLab and that was the only issue for minimum requirements. I don't know what the inside looks like, it's probably full of dust, and I'm afraid I might break something if I open it up. The other option is getting an entirely new PC. Currently it is an integrated AMD Radeon HD 6410D GPU.
  20. Also, SpaceX doesn't want to use hydrolox due to it being hard to handle.
  21. That's a great idea, changing the center of gravity. I was thinking of body flaps, like on the Japanese space tourism SSTO concept "Kankoh-maru" (note that Kankoh-maru would have been 18 meters in diameter and able to carry 50 people)
  22. How is SpaceX going to control their Dragon V2 in order to make it land precisely from orbit? Just with the minimal lift from the capsule along with RCS thrusters?
