I believe the doctor can only have 12 incarnations, so Peter Capaldi will probably be the last. No idea where John Hurt fits in... I read somewhere that he's between Eight and Nine. Anyway, this guy might be a good Doctor:

KSP alone brings some computers to a standstill (it once crashed my computer. It wasn't the program, but my computer itself.). I don't see how n-body calculations can make that any better.

That only applies to your brain. The ability to fly at 8km/s, at sea level (on earth), without adverse effects due to pressure/heat/etc.

How about this for an explanation? http://img1.jurko.net/wall/paper/matrixrevolutionsp.jpg (I couldn't post the image directly in, as it was too big, and I couldn't shrink it)

Wouldn't momentum be a better indicator of spilt coffee? A 2000 ton rocket buzzing the tower at 50m/s will be more profound than a 20 ton plane buzzing at 300m/s, would it not?

If it is Jeb, one.

But the delta-v for Kerbin orbit is only 4500 m/s, for a fuel by mass percentage of 84.7%. And that is with the above value for isp.

A little asteroid there would be the most realistic L3 body. Maybe call it Nibrek.

For a body that far out, the synodic period would actually be very close to Kerbin's year. The long part would be the actual transfer, not waiting for a window. Assuming you don't mind going for it at apoapsis.

I would imagine that Eve might have a few asteroidal moons, with Gilly being the biggest. Maybe one with a radius of 500m called Ligra...

Landing on a Sedna Analogue would require only a small amount of extra delta-v compared with Eeloo, assuming they are of similar size. It would just take longer. I just hope they compensate with lots of easter eggs/cool stuff...

In theory, one can create a wormhole, put one end in the Earth's core, and send the other into the sun. Earth will explode, and the Sun will be sucked inside out. Now, with the idea of turning the Earth into a black hole, this is easy enough, but the black hole will still technically be a planet, as it will have "cleared the neighborhood", orbit the sun, and "be round". The Earth will be "destroyed", but it will still be a planet.

Would it be more effective to design the lander so that it basically runs out of fuel upon landing on Pol/Bop, and then use fuel from the Kethane to return? Anyway, I think Kethane generates under the landmasses of Laythe, so if you find a source under land, that is where you ought to have the base. If we pretend Laythe has no Kethane, then Pol or Bop are best. Pol is in a less inclined and less eccentric orbit, so there is that. Also, the long transfer times shouldn't matter too much, I'd presume drilling time would be significant, and Jeb doesn't mind extra zero G time...

Without trying to use the ion engine, I believe any engine can get you landed on the Mun.

Shortly before you die, we would notice your screaming in pain would be somewhat deeper in pitch than usual.

Kerbin was originally Earth, but it was struck with a World engine, and had the mantle torn off in the process somehow, and the gravitational radiation in the process made everyone green and tiny

The only metal you can use is Lawrencium I wish I could move matter with my mind

What if the outpost was unmanned, and all that re-enters is the helium balloons (and a bit of RCS)

Europa's atmosphere is just like the moon's; it essentially consists of charged particles from sunlight interactions from the crust. You certainly wouldn't use it for anything (whereas on say Mars, the atmosphere, however thin, can still be used for aerocapture; and even the 1/70,000 bar atmosphere of Triton will have an impact on precision landings)

I had an idea for a space station in Eve orbit. Kerbals will be situated in Eve-Synchronous orbit, such that they can control rovers on their hemisphere, and very cheaply have excursions to Gilly. What does this have to do with Mars? If, for whatever reason, we can't haul a Mars lander/re-orbit vehicle to mars, we can at least land on one of the moons, control rovers, and have regular excursions to the other moon.

If that is so, then I guess it would be even easier to get into orbit, but no planet would have atmospheres. Also, Kerbin would freeze, and so on. You never said anything about scaling mass

How long would this take on a Brachiostrone trajectory? I estimate a minimum of about 30 minutes.

Note that a litre would be 1000 u/m^3 Also, don't forget solid fuel.

I'm sure it might be possible to be use implicit differentiation for this, but I'm not sure.

Spoilers! I found it a bit iffy that Earth's gravity kicked in, at full strength, at the moon. If the Enterprise is supposed to be not in orbit, but hovering, when not travelling some-place, it should collide with the moon. And even then, the astronauts should be weightless. If anything, that would make the events more harrowing (no atmo to brake in, can't just deploy a thousand parachutes). This is actually a really good idea for a part of a story. Then again, shouldn't the escape pods be able to make it into some orbit? They're only realistically useful right near Earth (unless you have a virch pod or a sleeper pod). Which is where they are.
