Don't run a mod for KSP 1.0.5 with KSP 0.23. You'll have to either find an old version of the mod, or update your KSP to the current version.

This is an obvious one. The point closest to you appears the highest. As you look at other points further away, the light has to travel through more air to reach you. This atmospheric lensing effect causes the horizon to appear curved, even though the earth is actually a flat disc.

We have real photographs of men on the moon. We know they were there. Now they are on earth. Since we have been shown the evidence that they couldn't have landed on the moon, the only possibility is that the originated on the moon and landed on earth.

Exactly! The landings were fake, but the photographs were real. Neil and Buzz actually started their journey from the moon, and landed on earth. Any photographs of them on earth prior to late July of 1969 were created by the government to fool people into believing they landed on the moon. This "reverse moonlanding" also explains how they were able to travel through the belts of lethal radiation. By doing it backwards, it actually removed excess radiation from the astronauts! Also, of all the moon missions, there's no a single shred of video showing the lunar lander actually landing. The only video we have is from Apollo 17, and that's footage of the LM leaving the moon!

Because they're farther away from the central point, which is the North Pole. Since they are farther away from those central stars, and closer to the outer stars, they see those ones instead. They only appear to come together over a south "pole" due to optical illusion and the way the disc of the earth rotates. Besides, the "round earth" theory doesn't account for how a serpent is able to encircle the entire world and grasp his own tail. Any theory the fails to account for Jormungand is obviously false. There's a difference in dealing with an ignorant person and a willfully ignorant person. If someone is ignorant, they simply don't know something. If someone is willfully ignorant, they are actively refusing knowledge they have no reason to reject. Sometimes, mockery is the best way to deal with those people.

Yeah, some people aren't worth seriously arguing with. Fortunately, the area I live in tends to be very low in landing hoaxers.

The only one you need is "If it was faked, why did the Soviets let us get away with it?" Edit:Or just ask them "If the landings were faked, why do we have many photographs and video of them?"

The ability to mod the game.

Decreasing returns on crashes. You crash a part, you learn. You crash it again, you learn less. Wash, rinse, repeat. You crash the part a 10th or 20th, or 100th time, and you learn nothing.

The only problem I see with this is the question of how you determine what is a failure?

This is utter bullcrap. We're supposed to believe that a race of beings that builds spacecraft out of junkyard scraps and parts found by the side of the road wouldn't send whatever wheels they had into space? There's no sense to the tech tree. We're supposed to accept that Kerbals are completely ass-backwards and will build a reliable manned spacecraft out of junk in a barn but can't figure out how to make a ladder and won't try sending wheels into space attached to a craft with a parachute described as "little more than a random stitching together of the surplus parts it is"?

Well, that's just silly, if they can build the structure and skin of the craft to survive that, why not just fashion that material into ladders? Face it, the tech tree is ridiculous, with no sane reason for parts being where they are besides artificial gameplay reasons.

And the ladders?

That might actually make a bit more sense, with a little bit of additional re-ordering (ladders). I still like the later half of the 1940s as a starting point, though. Maybe I've just seen The Right Stuff a few too many times.

Sorry, I actually meant to, and then forgot. I even voted in the poll. I'd like to see Year 0 be set around 1947. The post-war beginnings of the jet age, breaking the sound barrier, and more advanced rocketry. Personally, I'd rearrange the tech tree and have sounding rockets and early jet technology well before reaching the point where you can run a crewed mission.

There is no way to compare human and Kerbal timelines. Seriously, the game starts with you having a Mercury-level spacecraft, but wheels and ladders are some sort of science-fiction wonder technology that you won't find out about until you visit the Mun in your third flight, slightly after lunchtime. How are you supposed to compare that?

I'm licensed, but pretty much inactive. I've only really messed around on local 2m repeaters. Life keeps seeming to get in the way every time my interest starts picking up.

For what purpose?

English does have a singular third-person gender-neutral pronoun. People just tend to get annoyed when you use it.

Oh, are we doing this thread again?

Hence me opening with "Depends on what a 'bunch' is." While it could be inferred that is what the question meant, it does not logically follow that that is necessarily what the question meant. Perhaps the original poster was interested in clustered computing, and wished to know whether it would be more expensive to set up a number of virtual machines on one PC to simulate it vs. setting up a number of Pis.

Thanks. I completely missed that question.

Because the original question was regarding whether a "bunch" of Pis was cheaper than a PC, not whether a single Pi was cheaper than a PC.

Nobody mentioned effectiveness. Only cost. But aside from the cost, it's also probably not worth the effort to try and set up a Pi supercomputer and write the software to do any useful task.
