The challenge is simple, yet not easy. Send a ship in orbit (reach a stable orbit at least 100km high). Once in stable orbit, retroburn to get into atmosphere, aim for the landing spot to be closest to KSC (keep in mind the aerobraking, so aim further then KSC since the atmosphere will further move your landing position). Once in the atmosphere (below 60km), you can no longer use your engines to aim closer to the KSC, you let the spacecraft fall towards the KSC, the atmosphere will slow you down, and the only equipment you're allowed to use below 60km altitude are the parachutes so you don't destroy yourself at landing. Don't make your ship too big and heavy, or the atmosphere won't lower your speed enough and the parachutes won't do you good. But make sure you have enough fuel. Oh and did I mention... Stock parts only and no MechJeb (or however you spell it) to land at KSC Post a screenshot of the ship in orbit (to make sure you at least got in orbit ) and a screenshot of the landed ship near KSC! Enjoy!

Comets are something i'd like to see!

NASA wouldn't be careless to let anyone see what they plan on doing. If you saw it, then it probably won't happen. The atmosphere on Mars is much thinner than on Earth. This means that there are less air molecules for the wings to create lift. The wings have to be bigger to make more lift. If the airplane uses propellers, the blades need to be bigger on a Mars airplane than they would be on an Earth airplane to make the same amount of thrust and lift as on Earth. The force of gravity is lower on Mars. This means that the airplane won’t weigh as much on Mars as it does on Earth because there is less force pulling the airplane toward the planet. Still, if the airplane carries a lot of equipment, the wings will have to be larger to create enough lift. There is also a lot less free oxygen in Mars’ atmosphere than there is on Earth. Most Earth airplanes use oxygen from the air to help them burn the fuel in their tanks. The Mars airplane needs to use another form of fuel, take oxygen with it, or carry technology that can separate oxygen from the carbon dioxide atmosphere. Oxygen tanks or other types of fuel, such as batteries or solar panels, add to the weight of the airplane. Since Mars is at least 35 million miles away from Earth, the airplane is going to have to fly by itself. Earth is too far away for radio signals to control it like a remote-controlled car. If the airplane has a computer onboard, flight moves can be programmed into the computer before it leaves Earth.

Food for thought on the multiplayer aspect of the game. Perhaps reading that threat can bring you new ideas/ways to solve this problem! http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/22610-KSP-Public-Saved-Games-%28kind-of-like-a-sever%29

This is a simple game ill give two options, such as: Apple or Orange the next person, whoever it may be, chooses what he prefers better, and then gives 2 more options in the same post. ex: me: Apple or Orange next person: Apple, Pepsi or Coca-Cola third person: Coca-Cola, walking or running? . . . and so on same person cant post twice in a row so, ill start! Mac or PC?

Well, I'm studying Chemical Engineering. So i find myself doing a lot of simulations using chemicals. Environment simulations (such as water and ethanol mixture at high pressure and low temperature behaves how?) and what not. So for those type of simulations, I'd use a program called Aspen HYSYS. In terms of "doing science", it's mostly doing science in real life, collecting data, and analyzing the data using software and extrapolate to other situations. If that comes in the category of "doing science" then i'd mostly be using Matlab or Mathworks, or writing my own simulation codes using C++ or C or FORTRAN. If it's 3D modelling that I want to do. I'd be using Google Sketchup (for quick, crude, models), AutoCAD (for more sophisticated and precise models, also time consuming), or SolidWords (for modelling and animations of models).

Well, as you are all aware, in the real life, you can not simply... time warp. (d'uh ) So then, how far do you think humans will get in terms of colonizing other planets. Do you think it will be possible one day to actually have humans living on other planets? Will we ever begin to colonize our solar system? Our galaxy? Is it even possible? How far can we go, realistically, based on the technologies currently discovered? And what future upcoming technology do you think will allow us to push the boundaries of human space travel? Discuss.
