  1. You receive those cookies. However, those cookies are the only food you may ever again eat. I wish for the ability to make trees grow rapidly wherever I want them to grow, even on surfaces normally not suitable for tree growth.
  2. A way to make KSP 64-bit has already been discovered here.

    Wake Up calls.

    At least assuming the ship is a space ship and it therefore deserves such epicness.
  4. Anything which cannot handle more boosters needs more boosters too.
  5. I don't just use quicksave and quickload. I am quicksave and quickload.
  6. Maybe you've been playing too much KSP. Wait, no, there is no such thing as too much KSP.
  7. Floor 776: There is nothing except for the stairway. Not even walls. It's really windy up here.
  8. If I remember correctly, SQUAD announced that there would be paid expansion packs, but everyone who got KSP before a certain date would get them for free.
  9. So that's the at least one mistake. Thanks! Of course. *gives cookie*

    React to...

    I'd wonder what was so loud and caused all the fire everywhere, so I'd walk outside and see the crashed satellite. I'd e-mail the space organization the satellite belongs to (I'd know that, the media would've gone crazy days to weeks earlier "SATELLITE IS GOING TO CRASH! EVERYONE WILL DIE!!! (if it doesn't crash in an unpopulated area, which it will probably)") and also the media. I'd also try to find out how the satellite didn't break apart during re-entry. How would you react if an away team from the USS Enterprise-D beamed down next to you and told you that they want you to come with them into the 24th century of the Star Trek universe immediately?
  11. Assuming that the irresistible force is simply an infinitely strong force and the immovable objects is immovable because it's infinitely heavy (infinity kg), we get acceleration=(infinity*N)/(infinity*kg) Infinity and infinity cancel out, so we get 1 m/s² of acceleration – the immovable object is accelerated. But wait! What if we used other units? Because it's infinity, you can't exactly change how infinite it is. So, we don't really get 1 m/s² of acceleration, but the immovable object is accelerated by 1 [insert unit of your choice here]. Which doesn't really make any sense, because there's a difference between 1 meter per second² and 1 picometer/century². So, the irresistible force wins. I'm approximately 100% sure that I made at least one mistake here, though.
  12. I have somewhere between 50 and 60 mods. Would be significantly more if I could use more of my RAM. So, it's too much once you crash after 3 minutes of playing.
  13. I'd thank the kerbals again for the warp drive. Kerbalkind is the only species that allocates sufficient funds to their space program to build one, after all, so it's likely that they gave it to me.
  14. I've seen it, but not downloaded. I read that the devs planned to add procedural volcanoes in .38, so why download it now?
  15. I think the supercollider should be nerfed. It's far too easy to get enough satellites up to create a dyson bubble with the space elevator they added in 0.37, so creating a wormhole isn't really a challenge. It'd be great if you had to mine the class R asteroids in the main belt to build the collider.
  16. My Nokia phone. I use it to shield myself from the thermonuclear explosions.
  17. "Landing" on the Mun with a craft designed for a high-space suborbital hop left Jeb stranded alone for about 2 Earth years due to unplanned explosive disassembly of the ship's engine on impact. Eventually, he was rescued.
  18. Moneys. Note the plural. "This booster-shaped snack costs a money. This probe-shaped one costs two moneys."
  19. I knew what this thread was about before I opened it, and there is a rational explanation: He's not scared, he's just disappointed that you broke the craft (you did make something go BOOM, right?) which means that it won't be as good at getting him into space anymore.
  20. Well, if you don't like killing your kerbals or leaving them stranded, probes are quite useful. For example, you can drop them into Jool to get atmospheric data, which would almost certainly kill kerbals, but probes can't be killed, only destroyed (at least until we get proper AIs).
  21. Thanks! I might at some point also write a short story about how it was on Earth in that universe.
  22. I think using some parts should have an impact on reputation or you should need some reputation for using certain parts. For example, if your LV-N crashes into a populated area, you lose reputation, and they won't let you use the nuclear engine if you're known for crashing rockets.
  23. I'll keep that in mind. Only when writing, of course. Well, first of all, there's no noteworthy atmosphere the heat might be transferred over, so only the rapidly expanding cloud of plasma from the destroyed ship would pose a threat. Also, assuming that the thrusters on the computer core can cause an acceleration of 1 g (they're there to supplement the parachutes when landing – the engineers couldn't find a way to transport the computer core on the shuttle which would have transferred most of the cargo, but it was certain that the computer would be needed on the surface) and it has time to thrust for about 20 seconds, then we see that it can cover about 2 kilometers (if my math isn't faulty). This means that the plasma can fill a sphere with a volume of over 30 cubic kilometers. As we know, gasses cool down when expanding, so Athena can probably get away safely – even more so if the thrusters have more, well, thrust. Assuming the projectile is fired 30 light-minutes away from the Prometheus and has an average velocity of 2/3 c (for the sake of simplicity, I'll assume that this velocity stays the same all the time), the light from the launch of the missile arrives about 10 minutes before the impact. If it's fired from farther away (and I'm sure you'll agree that a solar system has enough space for the enemy to be more than 30 light-minutes away), they have even more time to prepare. As for the detection, the missile would of course reflect light from the star and the engine's exhaust might emit particles itself. It seems possibly that that light may be detected. Of course, it'll be blue-shifted significantly because the source of the light approaches rapidly, but, depending on the sensor technology, that may actually make it visible better against the background (depending on the background, of course). An advantage of the blue shift is of course that it allows to determine how fast an object's moving, so that's how Athena figured out how quickly it was approaching the Prometheus. I appreciate your comments! I actually feel a bit flattered that there are people who spend some of their time to help me improve my work.
  24. Well, consider that the cryogenic pods with the people got away much earlier, and the computer core with the AI can endure much higher G forces, so it'd work. I think that if there are perfect artificial intelligences, people can be frozen for decades or even centuries without damage and food comes from bacterial farms, I can assume that their sensors are quite good too. Well, since the aim of the mission is to ensure the survival of humankind, it's improbable. I'm not saying it can't happen, though.
  25. On my first mission to Minmus in my current career save, I noticed I had a whole lot of fuel left after having set up my encounter with Minmus. Not too long ago, that (probe) mission flew by Duna and Ike.
