  1. I would have payed $40 for the game when i bought it ~$60 now, ESPECIALLY because it is a EARLY release game so there WILL be bugs and things MISSING...
  2. lol no, i am not a brony.... and another mod
  3. kryten read http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2014/09/dream-chaser-fight-snc-protest-cctcap-decision/#.VCX0vuBpYtM.twitter especially the paragraph where they say
  4. nope, Try a plane... and Mega will be next
  5. both of those are based on some ....y journalism from a earlier unsubstaniated article... Boeing is VERY high Cost and low risk, SpaceX is Low Cost, Low risk (Honestly the difference in SpaceX and Boeing for CCtCap is water vs land landings, SpaceX will not try to do propulsive landings with CCtCap right now, which is why they should get low risk) and SNC is Medium Cost Medium risk, most of their risk is from engines, which is a point that i dont like, but is inevitable with their design. Also as Sky_walker said Lurio is VERY good at what he does
  6. NOpe... NOW it will be GreeningGalaxy
  7. oh no, I am FAR to young to be crashed into buildings...
  8. Kryten i agree that they were having issues, which is undoubtedly why they bought the LF Engine company... but the fact that Lurio has found info that it was going to be SpaceX and SNC even with the engine issues is throwing up some BIG red flags for me
  9. Nibb, THEY DID HAVE AN ENGINE... it was a Hybrid design, their Acquiring of the LF Engine manufactures was not related to CCtCap, and they told NASA hey we are planning on using the Hybrid engine, but this Liquid engine is also a possibility should you want it. It is called a Baseline design with options. Okay then i challege you, find a specific credible counter "rumor" for this one. Lurio is HIGHLY respected and usually digs up information that was never meant to be public. Also he is a darn good reported for the aerospace world.
  10. Granted the SNC Suit wont DELAY anything except for pay outs... but SpaceX is already on the way to make the Capsule and Boeing was not going to win the contract according to some rumors and then there was an inexplicable delay in the announcement and BOOM SpaceX and Boeing with boeing getting WAY more money... Source on the delay and boeing (https://twitter.com/TheLurioReport/status/512292169840099329 , this guy was on top of things for CCiCap announcements and is pretty darn good about spaceflight events, highly trusted)... So I smell a stink in the air so i think it is good that SNC is challenging. also a little bit more digging found this gem... https://twitter.com/TheLurioReport/status/512293986602848256 same guy but if your launcher thinks you are dead and then BOOM you get the contract is smelling like an under the table deal. PLUS, NASA has avoided discussing how the winners were chosen, even after direct questioning...
  11. Nutt, the memory problem is not all that bad and there are ways around it... plus it is my understanding that part of it is Unity's fault too. not posting as a moderator
  12. lets see if the indians can break the curse of the red planet
  13. By the way here is my current design for my Level 2 cert from OpenRocket https://www.dropbox.com/s/9vsdi414vwggs1u/Level2CertIdea.ork?dl=0 feel free to download and tell me if i have overlooked something pretty dumb
  14. ya my schools motors have blown casings before... so not exactly small time stuff
  15. i have no idea, i was not involved in it... also as long as it is small, just make a temporary bunker out of cinderblocks and do it in your or a friend's backyard if you think it is big enough
  16. yes i do... My school has a rocket propellant team and we do test firings. if is is a smaller motor (in the H-I range) we do it behind out lab. Now we clear out a 50ft radius circle of cars and people plus the motor is surrounded by cinderblocks on 4 of 6 sides, the ground being one of the remaining 2 and open is the last (where the flame comes out) so that way even if we have a explosion the casing is directed out in one direction which we can point. For our larger motors we take them to the local landfill to test. we get permission from them first.
