  1. It blew up during launch R.I.P NASA hopes and dreams I\'m kidding of course who do you think NASA is? India?
  2. So how about that Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane huh?
  3. He\'s using surface mode
  4. Bob: Hey Jeb? Jeb: Yeah? Bob: What\'s that bump on the horizon? Jeb: I dunno Bob: Think we should adjust our trajectory? Jeb: Na we\'re good. Bill: It\'s getting closer awfully fas- TRANSMISSION TERMINATED.
  5. Can you list any payloads in development that are in demand of a super heavy booster? I can\'t think of any, with Orion being the only exception.
  6. That\'s what I liked about it. Humanity was accurately portrayed as a greedy, selfish species only interested in monopolizing the resources of an alien world.
  7. Higher thrust with smaller engine bells/combustion chambers doesn\'t make sense. There\'s a reason powerful engines like the F-1 and RD-170 are HUGE.
  8. You\'re going to burnout if you keep this up :/ I\'ve done it to myself countless times.
  9. more like sub-orbital death laser. regardless...
  10. Whoa Man Don\'t Get Your Capital Letters All Up In A Bunch
  11. Are more engines really necessary? The current ones already do the jobs needed, and I fear that this pack will become like the Silisko Industries Doughnut Research pack, with far too many redundant parts cluttering the VAB menu if even more are added.
  12. TW = Thrust / (Mass*g) Thrust is in newtons, not kilo-newtons like the parts file, make sure to convert accordingly. Seeing you are taking just straight mass from the parts file you need to convert to weight, hence multiplying by g (9.80665 for Kerbin) Example of vanilla engine: Thrust: 200000n Mass: 2000 kg Weight: 2000*9.80665=19613.3 Thrust to weight ratio: 200000/19613.3=10.1
  13. I got it for kindle so I don\'t know what page numbers mean. But my reaction to the entire novel has been \'wow this feels like he had to wade through neck deep writers block for every damn word\' and the quality definitely suffers because of it.
  14. I\'ve had to put kittens to sleep before. It is the saddest thing. ever.
  15. At this point Space-X is mostly funded by NASA. For the Falcon and Dragon programs anyway.
