  1. Sorry, I'm American so I didn't know.
  2. It does have cesium clocks for the three Global Navigation Satellites it was carrying. I don't imagine they hold a lot of it thought.
  3. Bill & Jed's Excellent Laythe Adventure
  4. It's one of Litton Industries "hard suits". They made several versions over the years. specifically the "RX-2 Extra-vehicular Activity Spacesuit" . http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=1640 http://www.dorsett.us/ksc_visitor/ksc_today_tomorrow/large-56.html
  5. Commander Vladimir Nikolai Kerman: Pilot and head engineer of the Nuclear Pulse Propulsion Project spacecraft Tsar Bomba. Tsar Bomba's first and last launch from KSP's former launch facility. Although this launch facility is no longer used, it is still a very popular tourist attraction, as long as the total visiting time is kept under 45 minute over the lifetime of the visitor. Custom space suit for the crew of Tsar Bomba. ÿþûõтõть ò úþÑÂüþÑÂ!
  6. Oops sorry, I guess it's all fun and games until someone losses an i.
  7. Thanks, I was surprised when I saw it last night and wondered what It was doing up there. This is my form of doing doodles when I get a little free time. I like to think of it as my expression of my quirky humor and photoshop abuse.
  8. They will point the blue line automatically. You only need to point satellite dishes at far away objects that you can't normally reach, because you don't have the range to reach them. Pointing the dishes doubles the broadcast and reception ranges to that object. (for game purposes and not in real life)
  9. Yes, for a long time the US government insisted on degrading the accuracy of US GPS systems to have an error of a few hundred feet to prevent terrorists from turning small aircraft like a Cessna or other things into cruise missiles.
  10. William Hale Kerman: Early rocketeer and first Kerbal to make a rocket spin......on purpose. To celibate this achievement, every year for fours days starting on September the 2nd, every Kerbal around the world will set fire to any abandoned building they can get their hands on.
  11. OK good luck with everything, now go clean your room!
  12. I believe the major appeal is that conspiracy theories tend to be more exciting than the truth. It's a form of escapism from peoples normally boring everyday lives. There is also a bit of a counter culture to it.
  13. Nhnifong's HAB: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/35575-Inflatable-Hab?p=471213&viewfull=1#post471213
  14. I was thinking about that the other day while watching test stand footage of the rocket motor tests and notice that at least one office building there gets a great view of the rockets going off. Skip to 1:27
  15. I always prefer a worn texture, as it often gives the object more character. Is the non released DEMV6 the one you based off of a movie poster?
  16. The sun in post #520 is better, but it seems too dark to work with the Moho picture, unless you plan on lightening it.
  17. That would cause a paradox and crash the forum's time line.
  18. Bob Kerman: Senior test pilot and primary test subject. Manual SRB ignition Bob Kerman participating in Motion sickness studies Kerbal Ball Bob with early Mun rover Vehicle canceled after Bob found the performance of ejection seat system in the vacuum of the Mun was very poor.
  19. I was able to do a safe fly by at 35 KM in my Icky Russ 2 and on another attempt my ship was destroyed at 1327 meters. Something to note; you will need massive amounts of fuel to get into a really low circular orbit around the sun. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/31251-The-Icarus-Project?p=406487&viewfull=1#post406487
  20. Me too, now I spend all day and night in front of my computer playing the game.
  21. Well you do sort of get that with hydroelectric dams, you just have to wait a lot longer for the water to recycle back through evaporation and rain. I think wind, solar and possibly thorium reactors for near future and I mean the next 100 years. Fusion always seems 50 years away, so who knows about that.
  22. This shows an actually decompression accident at a NASA test facility while testing a space suit in a vacuum chamber. Note: The person did survive unharmed, so nothing gruesome in the video.
  23. Early lifting body work that paved the way for the Shuttle and other space plane technology. Research pilot Bill Kerman watch's the carrier aircraft fly by overhead. Because someone forgot to attach the test vehicle to the carrier. Later in the program, Bill's very first incident report.
