You propose magic helicopter force blades. Why would you worry about dragging reality into it? If you want an SSTO in scifi, just write it into the story, and skip the details of if it would actually work. Of course it works, because it's used in the story! If it didn't work, it wouldn't be in the story! A rocket powered SSTO? Use it, because it fits the story. A helicopter SSTO? Write it in, because it fits the story. A jet powered SSTO? Why not, if it fits the story? A human sacrifice powered SSTO? Sure, because it fits the story. A bunch of birds tied to the outside of the craft to lift it into space, which makes it an SSTO because anything in space is automatically in orbit? Sure, who the hell cares, it's scifi and whatever BS explanation you make up is what works because it's your story and that's how it works! A space wizard powered SSTO? Sure, because it fits the story. A completely unexplained system that is just an SSTO because the story needs an SSTO? Sure, because it fits the story. It's scifi. Who the hell cares if it's a freak of engineering? Does it fit the story?

Noted. Pouring some whiskey and inviting the gnats inside.

No, because PEMDAS isn't a thing, it's simply a series of initials to help you remember the order of operations. Why does your list of steps include multiplication before division, and addition before subtraction? Multiplication IS division, so they occur at the same level of priority. The same as subtraction being addition.

Damn right! We're such big supporters of the game that we demand the employees not get paid for their work on the project! They're only doing their jobs as a cash grab!

Every time I see something like this brought up, I'm amazed. Were people taught that "pemdas" (or other variants) was a rule or method, rather than a mnemonic device to remember order of operations? Or do people think the solar system is made up of the sun and My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos, too?

Instead of moving the air across the vehicle to provide aerodynamic lift, have a bunch of tubes pointing downward to create thrust to move the vehicle upwards.

What mystery? It was pretty obvious from the title and first post. I'm doing bratwurst and pasta salad tonight. Although,

I was there on business a little over 4 years ago. Not bad. The vertical stack of the Saturn V is really something to see. If you don't take the time to stop, at least drive by so you can get a view of it.

I say they should stick to tradition and dump it on Australia again.

For me, it's a sign that I just bought a new desk, because I've switched from "waiting to return to the office" to "permanent work-from-home job". Give it a couple of months, though...

That thing was flying around here a couple weeks ago. It's so damn weird to see it up in the air when it looks like it just shouldn't.

There's another way? (Of course I know there's another way. Post it to Discord, and download it from there.)

What is "better"? Who decides what that is? "other stuffs" Can you be any more vague about what you're asking for? Edit: I would consider more immersive, "living" IVA environments to be better, even if they don't let me run an entire mission from an IVA view. Other people may have the opposite opinion. Either one of us may be "right", but if you don't specify what you want, you might end up with something you don't want.

This raises the question "are DLC parts considered KSP1 parts?".

1. Remove all the mods you have installed, except for Simple Construction. 2. Run the game, see if it works as expected. 3. Install half the mods. 4. Repeat step 2. If it works, the problem is in the other half. If it doesn't, it's in one of the installed mods. 5. Repeat, installing/uninstalling mods until you determine which one is conflicting. 6. Resolve the conflict. (Which might mean working with the mod author(s) to fix it, doing a bit of manual configuration, or learning to live without one of the mods causing the conflict.)

IIRC, the problem was "not when frozen". I was apparently thinking of something else.

Pink Floyd albums,

No

I think it's way too vague to ascribe any possibility to.

What does this mean? How? Without knowing what "magnetic coil tubes that have a vacuum inside" means, how does one even approach an answer to this part? What? So the lower limit is "1 g for less than an hour", and the upper limit is "2 g for a few hours". That's a pretty wide range, and damn near meaningless. Is there a difference between 1g for 12 seconds and 2 g for 56 hours? Probably, but unless you actually define your terms, how do you expect an answer? Not at this point.

Yeah. I can see the use of the wheel for quick access to a small number of items needing quick access. I just don't see it as a (total) replacement for the PAW. How to implement both is a good question.

@shdwlrd Thank you. I appreciate it. I fail to see how this is better than the current PAW system, though. The PAW not only allows you to select actions, but also displays other values of interest. I'm also able to open several PAWs, and pin them to the screen. Unless one is using a limited method of input, this just seems like a much more cumbersome way to handle things.

On the other hand, I know what the PAW is. What's an "emote wheel"?

I'm currently getting stuff ready to spend an entire day in the office tomorrow, for the first time in over two years. 3 days left.
