  1. I think you need your own special button for this. "Ginormous Projectiles with a half life" button.
  2. I had an idea, could this mod be used to simulate the Aurora Borealis and could the plugin be setup to randomly fade the Aurora's lights off between events?
  3. Impress, looks like part of the Moon base from that TV show UFO.
  4. Wow, that RD-58SS is like rocket porn. That much detail must be memory hungry though? I guess I can do a separate install for the Kosmos stuff. I have too many mods on my main install now.
  5. I don't know if this has been posted yet. That looks like Kerbin's clouds showing through the ice of Minmus?
  6. Realistically it should have thicker cloud cover, although that would make deciding where to land trickier. This would give the ISA mapping mod a real purpose though. That might be something to consider.
  7. I'd prefer a Titan orbiter/probe myself, but I would like to see a simple small lander on Europa, if it could determine the thickness of the ice and if it has liquid water under it or not. Then they could decide what to do next on Europa.
  8. Yes some what, from what I keep reading over the years is that large parts of it are lost. It's a lot of the small stuff, but still important things that are missing. No one really seems to know for sure what's really left.
  9. As I understand part of the damage to the display rockets was do to them being displayed on their sides for years. They weren't physically designed to sit like that and it has caused structural damage to them. Saturn and Apollo were also design on paper blue prints, literally warehouse sized rooms to store them. After the programed ended, no one wanted to store all that paper, so they where destroyed. Some still survives, but you literally would have to re-engineer a lot of it again.
  10. Also a space pogo stick..... It's an interesting mission. JAXA seems to be almost specializing in asteroid missions.
  11. Really, sounds like a job for the Kerbin City Community Project. A KSP Arbor Day
  12. I would love to see a probe in long term orbit around Titan. A few astronomers have complained that NASA is too focused on Mars and I can emphasized when I think about some of the moons we see so little of. I'd be happy to give up one Mars orbital probe for one to orbit Titan or to Europa if it landed something on it.
  13. Yes, but I wonder how hard on memory it would be to have nicer trees?
  14. Nice looking, it made me realize we need trees around KSP.
  15. I wouldn't overlook medical technologies: Penicillin, Antimalarial and Dysentery drugs. Dr Jonas Salk's work on polio vaccine to name a few. Those I mentioned saved hundreds of millions of lives.
  16. One of the big advantages of recycling, that doesn't always get attention, is the fact that we are running out of landfill space and getting new ones approved is almost political suicide. On one wants a land fill near them. Recycling has extended the useable life span of these landfills and we can't keep dumping our used materials forever. At some point we well literally run out of space for them or the toxic runoff will be everywhere. I think at some point we might even have to go back and dig up some of it for proper processing where it threatens the ground water used for drinking. That buried garbage is going to be leaching into groundwater for a couple of thousand years. Recycling isn't really an option in the long run, it's mandatory if we don't want to deal with the pollution. We well have to come up with a way to ether recycle or render harmless all of the garbage we dispose of.
  17. I really like the IVA view. Do you think there is any way to see the Kerbal from the outside? Something like that SFR Command Pod Mod or even having a node for the External Command Seat part inside the nose area?
  18. I believe the black is meant to absorb heat from the Sun when sitting on Mars. At least some of the concept HABs NASA is thinking about are set up that way. Alexustas, any ideas on how you plan to land it on the surface?
  19. My computer is about three years old and I think it is pretty average. I run the game's graphic settings pretty close to maximum and it runs very smoothly almost all the time. i7-2600 @3.40GHz 12 GB RAM AMD Radeon HD 6670 (this is an old, very low end video card)
  20. I found these to be perfect for a Von Braun moon ship. A very retro SciFi look. I'll use it for my fuel tug at my Mun Kethane refinery.
  21. This one used the old crew tank at the bottom with a large fuel tank on the top and radial aerospike engines on the sides.. I did this for an atmospheric Eve landing. It has a small rocket motor at the bottom under the capsule for the deorbit burn.
  22. I can't tell you how awesome this mod is. I haven't felt like this sense I first started playing KSP.
  23. It's rare, but they do have Flywheel systems for home owners with solar power. They are sealed in a vacuum and float on magnets to reduce fiction. They use them because battery banks for a typical home run at about 15,000 dollars US and have to be replaced every 5 years or so. They only have to store the power overnight, but are very efficient in this roll. The US military also uses them, I suspect for their EMP resistance? They work, but are quite pricey.
