Magnets

I think the easiest way is a pluchy in a Soyuz. KSP is very popular in NASA and other agencies, and there will be a pluchy of some sort in a soyuz anyway, so it might as well be one promoting a STEM game. Here's an image of such a toy hanging in the capsule.

to make the shame even greater.... When Sally Ride was going to be the first American woman in space engineers asked if 100 (!) tampons should be enough... For a 7 day mission! http://gizmodo.com/nasa-engineers-offered-sally-ride-100-tampons-for-a-7-d-1594243379

America used test pilots as astronauts, you could only be a Mercury / Gemini / Apollo astronaut if you were a test pilot (with the exception of Harrison Schmitt, but that's another story). Back in the days not a whole lot of women, if any where high ranking test pilots.

I doubt anything will make it back to Earth. the re entry path will have a very low angle and the fact that it's spinning will heat all sides of the craft, making sure debris on the top half won't be protected by the lower part of the craft.

when running a airline company, you'll learn that msot of the costs do not go towards the airplanes. But all the subsystems around it. Yet airline companies rather keep a complex system at all their landing sites dedicated to refurbishing and repairing the airplanes than just buy a new one. Talk about how much it will save is useless. 90% 10 percent of 35% of 50%, less than half. There is one way to find out and that is by trying it. The way SpaceX is going on with re usability is a big step up form the space shuttle boosters. If all systems are functioning properly that is.

I knew the phrase from somewhere, that's probably the reason I've translated the thoughts of a (famous) dutch politician this way.

"Well yeah.. Of course all people are equal. But some people are just more equal."

Avoiding Rapid Unplanned Disasembly

Cool images, but a bit to epilepsy for my taste.

this is the fun thing that when the landing goes wrong, it isn't a disaster. The last orbcom was a disaster, when the first stage landing is botched we get a cool video of a Rapid unplanned disasembly.

Space exploration can also be quite boring. Images of bombarded cities like Gaza have a much stronger impact on humans than a bunch of scientists yelling at their computers. How cool Curiosity is, the coolest visual during the landing was Bobby Fedaks haircut. And I'm not sure if the majority should have to know space and space exploration. A lot of people don't know how to code computerprograms, or have any idea of how a computer works. Knowing how too code can change your quality of life, a small businessowner with some knowledge could easily build a CCTV system to protect his store. Knowing the names of the Space shuttles doesn't really improve much.

F1 makes screenshots of the game and saves them in the /screenshots folder in your game folder. F2 removes the GUI (stage list, altimeter, navbal etc...) F4 removes target markers.

Switching SCE to AUX Stirring oxygen tank

Something cool I did on a station I had about a year ago I had a special RCS module that I used to place all the modules. The modules would rendezvous with the ship. The upper stage would decouple and deorbit. The RCS tug would dock with the module and place it on the right docking node of the station. That way I had no need for RCS modules on each module. On my next big station I'm going to ad a Canadarm style arm on the station with help from the Infernal robotics mod.

See ya all back tomorrow!

I thought it was what the force was made of???

KSP should partner with companies that write / distribute school materials.

A couple of Atlas rockets had 2 vernier engines on the side to maintain attitude. Here is a cool picture of the 2 engines on the side

About 10 years ago we had the case of Sylvia Millekamp in the Netherlands. She was a quite famous actor who got breast cancer. In stead of getting the appropriate treatment she got 'advice' from alternative healer Jomanda who gave her alternative medications and kept advising not to get a radiation treatment. sylvia died painfully, Jomanda got sued but won the case.

About 2 years ago I was talking about my hobbies and interests with a friend of my mother. I mentioned I really like to read about space exploration and astronomy. I told him about all the progress space exploration made for us humans, I gave him a couple of examples like "Well, it takes abut 7 minutes for a signal to get from Mars to Earth. So a space ship landing on Mars needs to do every thing itself. This means a landing a rover on Mars needs a very complicated and smart autopilot on board. This means we need to think a lot harder about auto pilots that gives us knowledge, tips & tricks that we can use in every day airliners. When you fly towards your holiday, the Mars rovers did a bit to get you there safer". I mentioned a lot of these advancements, to which he replied "Well apart from all the progress and new knowledge we got from it, What did space ever do for us???"

I've seen Sabaton live a few times. They're really good!

Whenever you have to add "on Mars" at the end of the sentence... It's pretty hard.

Waypoint manager is awesome! Tnx guys! And yeah, I sometimes build rovers and sometimes I go on EVA. It is whatever the mission needs and what I got. If I already got a crew somewhere and a contract pops up. Why not take it?
