The Saga of Emiko Station - Complete
CatastrophicFailure replied to Just Jim's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
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? -
The Saga of Emiko Station - Complete
CatastrophicFailure replied to Just Jim's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
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. -
totm march 2020 So what song is stuck in your head today?

Something borrowed... Something... blue. sorry, couldn’t resist -
The old blockhouse looks pretty clean, wonder if they’re keeping it?
-
Sigh. Oh, the.... wait for it... keep waiting.... wait some more... ...humanity! Wait a sec... I wonder what the chances are that it survived? It’s presumably hollow and incredibly light, with a large surface area... might it have slowed down fast enough to avoid overheating? I remember hydrazine tanks from Skylab survived to the surface, similar size and construction...

Quick (hopefully) question, assuming this thread isn’t completely dead in favor of the new one (I’m still using the last version of Kerbalism for 1.2.2 is why). Anyways, I’m trying to create a ridiculously OP active radiation shield. Because reasons. Just for my own game. I need to block like 125 rads. No, that is not a typo. Trying to dissect the included one isn’t working, as plugging in even huge numbers to the part config is only blocking around 3 rad/hr. Could someone fill me in on how that module works or what else I need to do? Thanks.

Well, poop. Glad I got to see it the time I did. Was hoping for a nice photog session this summer.

That... doesn’t seem right. You sure it’s not maybe the Chinese space station? I thought the HS was supposed to stay up most of a year.

If you want a real mind blower, check out their S&M album. It’s Metallica backed by a full symphony orchestra. Doesn’t have Orion but it does The Call of Ktulu, another absolutely epic instrumental. -
totm nov 2023 SpaceX Discussion Thread
CatastrophicFailure replied to Skylon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Link is worth it just for the commentary. But dang, that is impressive. I drive a 60-foot articulated transit bus on occasion, and I get to see Boeing transporting wing spars in a special rig nearly this long from time to time, but these guys appear to be moving the booster without any kind of steerable trailer! That’s just nuts! -
A Thread for Writers to talk about Writing
CatastrophicFailure replied to Mister Dilsby's topic in KSP Fan Works
Interesting take. So many those old legends passed down through the ages essentially began as the fan fiction of their day. Dig it. -

totm nov 2023 SpaceX Discussion Thread
CatastrophicFailure replied to Skylon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
An SSTO with no meaningful payload or way to get back, as I recall. Heck, the booster could probably be called the same. Maybe even a FH side booster. Theoretical SSTO boosters are nothing new, even the old Atlas could. It’s that “meaningful payload” bit that’s the rub. -
Heheh, let me introduce you to my old buddy MS-DOS, here. Want to add a new hard drive? Graphics card? Soundblaster™️? Get ready for a fun-filled day of setting jumpers, randomly guessing at IRQ’s, and spending hours on hold with Tech Support...

Hm, that would be something new. Last I heard the flight abort test wouldn’t be until after the unmanned orbital flight. -

Funny you should mention that... Right about here. And now this is stuck in my head. -

Also Year 9, Day 63... more or less... I think... signal delay, and such... While one Mission Control team was fussing over the Thalia missions, a completely different one was focused on the distant gas giant Otho.The fights over who got to use the big DSN antenna were pretty gruesome. I won tree fiddy on double or nothing. Speaking of Gratian, and lander has finally returned the last of its data, and digging through it, the science team has uncovered something... very interesting. But they'll need more time to finalize the results. Now will someone please get Vlad off the table already?! People eat there!
