CatastrophicFailure

Hold the phone... it seems my testing methodology may, in fact, have been... er, suspect. I kept checking a part on an existing craft in the VAB. Added a new part from the list, and now it's blocking like 36 thousand rad/h. And sucking juice at an alarming rate. More testing required or possibly landing on the sun...

Any suggestions as to how? I tried upping ShieldingEfficiency = 2 from 0.9, didn't seem to have any effect at all.

wonder if she’s related to my Jencine... Like @qzgy said, you have to go save Hairy! Maybe she can stay with ... the Hendersons. Seriously tho, might wanna put a strainer on the shower drain... And speaking of Kerbal names, I got a contract to rescue one named Burrick... ...please someone tell me I’m not the only one to get the reference... bonus points if you remember the phrase “farting themselves to death...”

Sure there is. It’s not the rocket that’s delayed, it’s the capsule. And Boeing is in exactly the same place despite more resources, better funding, and less to prove. I don’t think one can fairly lay this one at SpaceX’s feet, Commercial Crew delays have come from NASA via congress, and inadequate funding.

That’s what they said about Falcon Heavy, too, and it happened. The booster is under construction, the capsule is nearly complete, and even Boeing is on more or less the same schedule. Oh, and it’s more like 9 months now, too.

That info is as of December last year, and crew demo flight is currently scheduled for December this year, so, yeah. also:

According to SpaceFlightNow, Bangabandhu-1 (and block 5 debut) delayed from April 5 to NET April 24.

At times like this it is perfectly acceptable to get out and push.

DO WANT! What’s technically different about your system vs IR that makes it less wobbly?

RocketLab CEO Peter Beck is now on Twitter.

Year 9, Day 86... So, with NOVA Otho now in a holding pattern and the missions at Thalia mostly wrapped up, the science and engineering teams are starting to think about rekindling the crewed space program. Only this time, just a bit less, well, crude. It was quickly decided that any extended presence beyond Gael will require the extraction and use of local resources. We queried GENE about this, and after a prolonged period of laughing uncontrollably at us, spat out a series of contacts. We now have funding to retrieve ore samples from all the other bodies in the local Gael system, after our first limited experiments on Rald proved moderately successful. To that end, the mighty Otho V launcher is once again called into service! Aaaaaand the engineering team immediately gets to work on Prospector II. New and improved! Now with twice* the antennas! *Does not actually include antennas. Use at own risk. Some assembly required.

That photo has a depressing lack of rockets on launchpads.

Poop. Thanks for the info tho.

Ok, follow on... cuz of course you guys know everything. is it possible to simply disable the collider of a part through its .cfg?

Quick random question: how do you get the option in the Wheesley menu to Show Colliders?

I had no idea the dude had an airport named after him.

It’s cool. Just wasn’t sure if it was my tablet throwing a hissy fit over something completely mundane, wouldn’t be the first time. Everyone’s got their own preference on how to post pix. Are you sure you’re not just viewing preview shots from KSP 0.19?

At least someone got it. I heard it in my head once and there was no going back. Kraken only knows what other suffixes are lurking.

@Hotel26 Hey, how are you posting your pictures? They come out in iOS mobile in a single long line that does horrid things to the page width.

Did you run the game once *bone stock* first?

Oh, good. With some of the more recent, ahem, forum drama, when you said official my mind automatically went to a dark place...

None of which can be answered. So do the next best thing and get her a Dragon 2. Gotta be someone with a worthy mod.

Never underestimate the power of a negative space wedgie to change the storyverse as needed. So... no Emiko Station meets Game of Thrones, eh? Tho I’m curious about that NDA that you obviously can’t talk about. Could you perchance say if it’s a “gentleman’s agreement” or like... official?

This stinks more of a clear usurpation of power. We don’t yet know the circumstances, but assuming it’s your basic hereditary monarchy, history has no shortage of inspiration to draw from. The Grand Kerbal is dead poofed, long live the Grand Kerbal! And call me suspicious but I doubt this Samantha brooks much dissent.
