Stealth technology. -
Sorry, Jeff, without some details (like first manned flight), I ain’t getting up at 6:30 on a Sunday. because of course Jeff Bezos himself and/or one of his minions personally reads this thread and cares what I say in it. and I mean actual Minions... like the silly yellow guys who speak gobbledygook... because we all know Besoz totally has Minions.... lots of Minions...

Because, y’know, frostbite... prolly cold up there...

Might want to count your fingers...

Someone must have realized space doesn’t start at 8000 feet. Wait, isn’t that how it used to be in the very earliest KSP?

Congratulations, Reg @Kronus_Aerospace, it’s a... squid parrotfish...

Ever feel like maybe you’re stuck in time loop? perhaps bargaining might not be a bad idea... isn’t that what comes before “acceptance?”
-
@Triop so, including the payout, how much did it cost you?

So here's a question: any chance the more common Imgur motion formats like .gifv and .mp4 could be supported? Right now, the forum only recognizes the basic .gif, which tends to be really huge and half the time plain doesn't work. -

IIRC it's 10 flights with zero refurbishment, and practically unlimited with. This booster, I think not. I'm betting the very first Block 5 will be gone over with a fine-tooth comb before it flies again. The second one we might see turned around quick. -

@Just Jim I’ve got one of the downvotes too. I think these are artifacts from when the last big update was actually occurring, and they hadn’t finished setting up the new reactions system so some of these oddballs got thru before they were disabled. I remember (briefly) being able to use some funny reactions before they finished the update. -
Today this week most of the month off and on, I've been flarping about in 1.4 (exploding landing legs?! For real, guys?!), since I decided to make a video for my 1.2.2 save which is, of course, kicking my S and numbing my eyes his eyes! So anyways, as is the fashion lately, I made a Soyuz clone with the new not-at-all-new parts: All in stock. Or at least, as stock as I ever play. mod creep, yo. Never get tired of seeing this: I used my Soyuz clone to send an Apollo-style stack toward the Mün, of course. Soyuz-clone stronk, like bool! We do not need decadent Saturn V-clone like bourgeois yankee foreigner for to go Mün! So, yeah, after burning nearly every bit of fuel left to brake into Münar orbit, Val and some tag-a-long are now hopelessly stranded. I may have miscalculated the delta-V available... I'm lying. I never calculated anything, I just guessed. I didn't even guess. I just hit space and went with it. You see, Ivan, when not use calculator and get important Kerbonaut stranded in deep space, is... er... um... Hide, I hear Kommissar come... Hide harder. That's better.

Yeah, they’ve been around since the last major update. I’ve been particularly fond of this one for a while. unrelated (could really use a “beating my head against the wall” smiley right now, SMH...) -

Richard Shelby? How you figure ? He was just re-elected in 2016. Senators are up every 6 years. -

Nah, it’ll fly once. Maybe twice. Sunk costs and all that. The powers that be need it to. It may be a lumbering, foundering Titanic at this point, but like the Titanic it has a lot of momentum. Cancelling outright now that flight hardware exists is near impossible, more likely they’ll cancel any further production once SLS/NG/NA are flying and even they can no longer pull their smoke-and-mirrors game. Somebody really oughtta start a friendly pool or something... @StrandedonEarth of course, this is where I run out of likes for the day. -

She said BFR could see full orbital flights by 2020. If this thing actually does beat SLS off the ground...
