There was Kerbal Spaceport, but it sank into the swamp. So then there was Kerbalstuff. And that one sank into the swamp. There was Curse. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one, Spacedock, stayed up.

I was kind of wondering how you happened to have such an item. Having a story to go along with it is nice. Thank you for sharing it.

No. Just the only things I have older than the neolithic.

I just checked my globe, and it appears your atlas is accurate. I need to go dig out my box of fossils...

Early career. Which is mostly what I end up playing. Every new version, I'll start a career. Then I add mods, so I start a new career. Then I get bored and stop playing for a while. Then I come back and start a new career. My current career (13th since I started tracking them) has one mission completed, and two more planned. It's been two months since I've played it.

Ok, I can kind of see that. However, I would love to see something like the Final Frontier mod added to the game. It provides a way to track what you've done, but it does it in a way that is internal to the game and its world/experience/immersion, rather than an external thing that doesn't really connect to the game. In addition, it's a per-save feature. External achievements are a per-game thing, and I'd much rather be able to track each save individually.

Never said I was. Just inquired as to why people feel that a game isn't complete if it doesn't reward them often enough.

Because I'm capable of patting myself on the head and saying "Good boy! You did something!" without needing a program to do it for me?

Why?

Simple. People like to make claims.

EM-1 will not be a crewed flight. Acting Administrator Robert Lightfoot:

EM-1 will not be manned. EM-2 will be the first crewed flight.

@adsii1970, @Just Jim: I had hoped the sarcasm would be self evident.

Well, you don't really have the right to stop him. After all, he's the one paying for the class. He pays your salary. He should be able to use the time he paid for the way he chooses, and if he feels that his time is better spent doing other things than attending a class he paid for, who are you to tell him he's wrong? Or did he just claim you were violating his free speech?

Nah. It's really easy to solve it. In fact, it's so easy that everyone has their own idea about how to do it.

Wow, this thread makes me realize how much I miss school... I wish I could complain about simple stuff, too.

Sadly, no, nor did he seem to have any idea about it.

Here's my KSP version of John Cage's 4'33":

A. Kerbal pilots that can execute a maneuver node. 2. A decent Mission Control/Planning Facility. III. A dry lakebed in the desert with some runways and a giant compass painted on it. - The end of the craptastic aesthetic. More consistency. F) Believability. VII.Validity. 8. Plausibility. Credibility. -Verisimilitude.

Shadowrun: Flight Simulator?

Is it possible to designate parts that should not be added to the inventory on recovery? (Either an individual instance, or for an entire part.) For example, "The Kerpollo 11 capsule is a historic artifact, so it's going to a museum." Or even a partial discount for reuse, as in "The capsule went to the museum, but we stripped some of the internals for future use." Also, career mode gives science value for recovery of a vessel under certain conditions. I think the partial discount would work here to represent the portions being studied to gain the science bonus.

A combination docking port with parachutes, so I can stop sticking the dang chutes to the side of the pod.

True. The agency always had, and always will, a tight connection to the military. After all, the only difference between a space launch and a missile launch is what's programmed into the guidance system. The first manned flights were flown on modified ballistic missiles, and high speed/high altitude flight has it's uses. NASA and DoD have a lot of the same contractors working for them, as well. However, I feel that NASA should be a civilian agency. I'm fine with them putting up military payloads and sharing research, but I'd have some serious issues about them directly developing or launching a system intended for use as a weapon.

No. NASA should not be in the weapons business.

That just silly! If they did that, it would completely ruin the game! No changes EVER!
