  1. Obviously not. I said it was great on toast.
  2. It's a lifeform! It's a science project! And it's a great spread for toast!
  3. It's not real at all. Since October 1st, I have been able to play KSP.
  4. I think a good method to handle space stations would be to generate so much science, with decreasing results as time passes, with a return to the original level of output when you rotate the crew.
  5. Sinclair ZX-81: z80 @ 3.25 MHz 1 kB stock, this one has the 16 kB memory expansion But for everyday calculating, I use the Picket Microline 120 slide rule in Eye Saver yellow.
  6. Have you tried www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/news/apollo-sites.html‎? You should be able to locate them through google.
  7. Can't say that I've ever been to Jool, so I'll have to leave it for others to say.
  8. I find the effect much better. Thank you. Looking forward to see where this mod goes.
  9. Comic Sans (and other things done "because it's cute") has a place for use. For example, take an email with orange Comic Sans font on a confetti background. If it is a personal email, it's fine. When you send it from a .gov address as part of a business process, it's not.
  10. Just trying this out. Very nice. It brings life to the game. I have to agree with this. The lights were very dim compared to higher orbits. It's as though they just became splotches of color, and lost whatever quality it is they makes them look like lights. The other problem I had with LKO was the cloud layer. It does look good from higher altitudes, but in LKO, it appears as though the clouds are sitting on the top of the atmosphere. Edit: I think the issue is that the cloud layer seems to be moving very fast.
  11. Submarines are not interesting because they can go under water. Any ship can do that. Submarines are interesting because they can come back up.
  12. It's called "reefing". Run a line around the base of the chute and it will keep the canopy from fully opening. Once the line is cut, the chute is free to open. This allows the reefed chute to slow the vehicle somewhat. Allowing the chute to fully open a too high a speed would provide a sudden deceleration, resulting in damage to the chute, the vehicle, or more likely both.
  13. I want to see them fix all those bugs they introduced in 0.22. It's completely unforgivaeable that they left us with the complete broken feature of... hold on, I'm just getting some new information... yes, I see... not released, you say... very well, then. Based on this new information, I would like to see 0.22 before I provide useless speculation on 0.23.
  14. I've no problem with this, as long as it's an option I can turn off. It doesn't make a lot of sense to shake a camera that doesn't exist.
  15. I think that's utter crap. The next crew to go to the moon should be the best applicants from the pool. By taking one of each country, we're not showing that we're dedicated to working together to get stuff done. We're showing that we are dedicated to creating the best photo-op possible. By taking the best qualified applicants, we're sending a message that we're doing it to get it done. We did the political moon mission in the '60s. Let's do the scientific missions now. As for the flag, does it really matter? How about we use the UN, or make a new one? Or, we could just skip the damn flag next time.
  16. This is odd. print "a" + eta + "b". works, but print "a" + eta. doesn't. Very strange and inconsistent. We may just need to wait for version 0.90 to level out. It might just be that we are looking at a transitional point in the way expressions are parsed, and the author needs to finish a half done job before everything starts making sense again.
  17. This is working for me: print "Apoapsis in " + eta:apoapsis + " seconds". The two problems I'm noticing now are using "throttle" in a loop control and steering. "lock steering to prograde" no longer follows prograde, but keeps pointing in the direction prograde was when steering was locked.
  18. Try (in a program): lock steering to heading 90 by 90. lock throttle to 1. [i]wait until 0 = 1.[/i] See if that acts any differently.
  19. Kerbals don't use kash. They use kredit kards, of kourse.
  20. If all variables have global scope, you don't need to worry about passing anything back. You just have to be very careful with variable names.
  21. Because it costs money to maintain. If we're spending that money on an outdated station, we can't spend that money on the brand new <insert politically popular project here>.
  22. Because space tourism is a thing that happens now, but space manufacturing isn't? However, I do see cheap tourism developing after industry brings about a reduction in launch costs.
