Holo

It's heated from inside due to tidal stresses from Jool, so yes, at night too.

The oceans don't freeze because it's 6 C on the surface.

Could I revise the design for a lower cost than redesigning from scratch (since all I'll really be doing is draining some fuel from the top half and adding a place for payloads to strap onto, and I wasn't aware of this at the time)? If so, then

How do I develop payloads, such as satellites?

v1 = 10x v2 = 3x v1 = v2 when x = 0

Just PMed lukerules to remind him :-)

Wrong forum, but f1rst p0st . What does the coupon do? 75% off?

The longer transit times will require gravity assists, but I can't think of any rules for those right now.

When people make meta jokes

When people complain about their free updates for KSP not having as many free features as they thought they would get for free.

For resources, you could just use the chemical elements. Silicon, oxygen etc. The probability of life in the universe is called the Drake Equation, though you'd be better off using one of the habilitity scores used here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_potential_habitable_exoplanets

I once did the maths and calculated the equilibrium temperature of Kerbin to be ~-6 C

Pol is best moon. You could only like Laythe if you aren't planning on having children, hair, or a long lifespan :-P

As am I :-). Just saying why I don't think it's a stupid sounding name, I why I don't hikpeople should recoil in anger screaming "K Syndrome" upon the slightest mention of it :-)

No The user below me is euphoric and tangible.

The wiki should refer to it as the sun, because that's what the actual game refers to it as.

Why, that's a stupid idea. If you look at it from an etymology standpoint, you could derive Kerbol like this: Kerbal - Name of the species; "us" Kerb - Shortening of Kerbal In - Kerbese for rock Ol - Kerbese for light Hence, Kerbin means "our rock", and Kerbal means "Our Light". Perfectly reasonable if you ask me. Admittedly, this relies on many assumptions, however it does show that it's not just some corruption of Kerbal designed by a hyperactive four year old. The other planets may have been discovered later, after Kerbals realised that not everything orbited Kerbin (the very famous Keocentric model of the universe).

Say Kerbol in real life. Now say Kerbal. Now image that both of those words are being said quickly by someone with an accent, and you'll quickly see why they are too similar.

I call it "the Sun" because that's what it's actually called.

It only works in padded rooms, where there are no echos. I wish I could turn into a fence.

Space shuttle, because it can stay in space for longer. Death Star I vs. Death Star II

Thanks mate I got rid of the percentages already there, because they were based on some dodgy maths. Don't worry, I'm going to redo them today or tomorrow.

95. Undergo nuclear fusion using the products as fuel

I would, but I don't think I can respect someone who doesn't use delta-v, instead opting for some arbitrary "2 kg payload per liter fuel" Just kidding (though the inner astrophysicist in me does want to strangle you ). The only thing I need to do my turn is the mass of fuel per liter, so I can start designing my spacecraft. EDIT: The bay12 thread uses a density of 1 kg/l, gimme a sec to design a rocket. EDIT2: Halfway through the rocket design, and I've realised that your method which I decried earlier is actually much more fun that a purely scientific approach. I agree with you now EDIT3: My completed turn: Research None Design I want to design this rocket, the Korabl-Odin It has a mass of 1975kg, a cost of ¤800, and a payload to LEO of 275kg. That's ¤2900 per ton, which is the absolute maximum with my present technology. This will cost ¤2800 to design, due to the ¤2000 design cost + the cost of the rocket. Construction I spend ¤5000 on upgrading mission control to get an extra flight per year. This brings my budget down to ¤2200, but it brings my assets up one design and up a mission control . Hope I did this turn post correctly, I'm new to this .

R this is gonna be ungood
