Not the good launch for a first time I don't really know(it's my fourth launch(not including the one of thursday,even if it wasn't a launch)) but I can tell you that's the first time I see a launch aborted(after engine ignition, it's the second abort if I include tuesday "launch").

Why? Just when I was thinking "good, no problem they will launch it!"

To get fund we could say it is a (really big and expensive) for the magic school bus

I joined the webcast just before(a few seconds) it started! Let's hope for the best of lucks!

I we build a school in space, the school bus will have it's utility. Ready for a kickstarter?

Some say that the solution is to have armed guards in school. It only seem to be a solution(to me it's not a solution,by the way) when you are talking about firearms: try to convince someone that the solution to nuclear weapon treat is to give nuclear weapon to as much country as possible!

I don't know exactly, but i think they have restriction like it has to be solid enough to withstand the launch, safe enough to not make the rocket explode, light enough to be placed in orbit... Don't quote me on this(nor on anything in this post), but I don't think they mind what you put in space, as long as it doesn't prevent them from making more launch or placing more satellite in orbit. Also, I don't think they discussed a lot about what they should do if someone wanted to pay 60 millions dollars to put a bus in orbit: who would do that(apart KSP players, of course ) EDIT: double ninja'd!

Is there a way to prevent mechjeb from forcing roll during the lift-off? Sorry if it has already been asked(and/or answered).

Alway send do an unmanned mission before the manned mission. Alway "test" the mission by sending an unmanned version of the craft(the same craft, but I stick a probe core on it) before launching the manned one.

Even if I already know that, those facts alway remind me that real rocket science is not as simple as in KSP!

Let's hope they don't need another rescheduling!

http://www.spacex.com/webcast/ There you go! You asked just in time, t-5 minutes. (I'm sure to be ninja'd!)

Not really, from my experience(with ISA mapsat) even if you are in a polar orbit, you might not scann all the planet. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/27999-ISA-Mapsat-Ideal-and-Non-Ideal-Altitudes The first part of this thread explain very well why achieving a polar orbit is not enough.

I think that the first sentence explain the whole movie: Why do film-maker don't seem to care about science? EDIT: actually, I remember that movie being aired on TV, I didn't watched the whole movie though.

When KSP is set to start automatically when you open your computer(my case). When the first thing you think when someone ask you the height of the atmosphere(of earth) is 70KM(also my case )

Thank you so much for the link!

Hi! As the title (should) indicate, I have found a book written by Hadfield at my local library(for the anecdote: I decided to read it when I saw it was written by Hadfield). I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's pretty interesting! Here's the link(if you are interested): http://chrishadfield.ca Just something I wanted to share with you

Thank you so much! As a mechjeb dependant(please, don't start any debate on this) it wi really help me! As soon as I can,I will dowoad this mod. Ps: this plugin is a lot more complex that I was expecting(more than 8000 lines fo codes)!

Does someone know a similar application for Ipod?

ok,thank you for the answer(and for the link)!

Where have you found it? Also,(if it's not too personal) for what do you use it?

I can do better: pi=3,14159265358979323846264338327950288519716939917510582097494459230781640628628089986280248253421170679814808651328230664709384460955058223172535940812864462294895493038194428810975665933446128475648233786783165271201909145648566923460348610 Yes, I'm learning the digit of pi(201(3 is included) so far) for fun... (I have no life )

I think this is the only place you can hear something like this: we don't have enough fuel to crash convert the satellite into a earth atmosphere analyzer? Go to the mun instead! Just after typing this, I realized that I instinctively typed "mun" instead of "moon"; maybe I play too much KSP

I'm sure they used bedrock, after all, they are in creative mode: the extraction cause no problem at all!
