[1.0.2] B9 Aerospace | Procedural Parts 0.40 | Updated 09.06.15
AngelLestat replied to bac9's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
If it works like that, then already does what I wanna suggest. -
[1.0.2] B9 Aerospace | Procedural Parts 0.40 | Updated 09.06.15
AngelLestat replied to bac9's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
it matters for connection strength if I dint missread.. but my questions remains.. what is the objective of the drag parameter of each part? if we have: then that drag value of each part is the Cd? -

AngelLestat replied to bac9's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
Good job bac9, I still dint find any bug with your previous mod versions. So if I understand, thickness matter for fuel volume, strenght properties and dry mass? But it does not have any effect on aerodynamics.. What happens if the drag parameters increase just a bit? I never understand why all parts had the same drag parameters. Cd coeficient depends on shape, and drag on area, far does good job calculating drag and lift with cylinders or other shapes at any angle (I guess), but it seems that the thickness of the wing can not be calculated. -
[1.3] Trajectories - Prediction of atmospheric trajectories
AngelLestat replied to Kobymaru's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
I never test it in near, I have far.. But I had understand that the only difference that nears has with far is all the UI that show your flying data.. but if in nears works fine, then I am mistake. -
long time that I dint play ksp for lack of time so there are things that I dont remember. Question: Engines from different mods does not get the aerodynamic cylinder (as a faring) when we use the procedural decoupler under them? I dint test it with normal decouplers because I remove them. So I am not sure if the lack of the aerodynamic cylinder is due engines mods or by the procedure decoupler... In any case, how can be solve?

[1.12.x] Mark IV Spaceplane System (August 18, 2024)
AngelLestat replied to Nertea's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
ok nertea.. thanks to the notice. downloading.. -
If you know where it is, then it will be possible to detect it. But the problem is that we dont. So it can be an earth size planet at 1000au with the same albedo than earth or more; but almost impossible to discover. The sun at that distance is like any other star, imagine the few photons that reach the planet, then imagine the few photons that bounce and comeback to earth. Is a lot easier to search planets in other stars, first you know where they can be... "close to the star" With the transit method, the planet is so close to the star that it block a lot of photons when this pass upon. The second method using telescopes, you measure the tiny gravity wobble from the star. Here you dont have any of those benefics. As cantab said you have more chances to detect heat radiation, but even with that, you would need point at a very specific direction with an IR telescope in orbit (they can work close to 4 kevins degrees which gives a lot more sensibility) You can not use the picture-picture comparition with high or moderate angle of arch as we do with asteroids, because this planet moves so slow as any other star in the sky. And if you use the IR telescope to scan all the sky, it may take centuries to find it.

AngelLestat replied to bac9's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
wow, this mod is grown up at an incredible rate. It becomes more awesome for each step awesome. Your best mod so far, counting that your first mod was amazing. -
You know K2, Many times when I look in topics that are clearly your field, I read them first. But you have a big defect, your science methodology is complety lost when you defend certain theories that are the ones you like. I never see this behavior in any scientist, even if they are the ones who made the theory. We know what is dark matter? really? since when we have such certainty? Show me a link of any respected scientist who made the same claim. Last time I check, there was like hundreds of theories all pointing in different directions. EDIT: At first I thought that you said dark matter, but even dark energy is still a mistery.

how weak is gravity, dark matter, or other phenomenoms in particle physsicss "may" to be observations of things that are not contain in our universe. For example there are ways to prove in practice some string theory predictions. But if you never look outside or you just said "there is nothing out there", not multiverse, bulk or branes, etc. then the physsics would never go forward.
-
That is by definition, if we call something "universe" as all the things that we can see and experience, then there is no point to think what is beyond that.. because is the universe. But if you want to answer the questions about things that are not contain in this universe, and how their may interact with our universe, then this may be the only way to solve some problems as "what mechanism created the universe", "why their are zones in the universe that defy gravity", "what happens in the edges; where our theories break?", "what about the extra dimensions which string theory predict?", "why gravity is so weak?", etc. So inside the universe from this perspective using the physsics that we know that may have problems in the edges, we can said with a 99.6% of certain that the universe is infinite. But from other theory perspective it will looks finite. And I stand in what I said at the begining. Infinite are just weak points in our theories and understanding.

@UpsilonAerospace It does not need to have an orbit to be there. It can be in escape trajectory (very slow) or in aproximation to the solar system (also very slow) At those distances with low speed, it may take hundred of thousands of years to have an encounter. Also even at 1000 au, the sun is still the closest star by far, an orbit is unlikely but possible. @yafeshan Pluto is at 30 au aprox, we are talking of 1000 au.

Climate disasters are inevitable?
AngelLestat replied to Frida Space's topic in Science & Spaceflight
In these kind of topic is where we fund those who still think that global warming is just a scientific propaganda. -
the true is that it can be planets so big out there but far as 1000 AU that are almost impossible to detect. We would need to know the perfect location to detect them. Is highly unlikely that such planet has been in our solar system and then escape due "x encounters". Or is a wanderer planet from another star system.

haha, as always very spicy. There is also a bunch of speculation on your part too, not forget that! If you accept that your infinite universe is only based on perspective. Then I will be agree. In other case, prove me that all your principles were are you based apply also to anything that did not originate in the Big Bang. Singularities are just things that our theories can not explain. Example black holes singularities, big bang singularity, etc. We can not even talk about infinite time, because we dont understand if there is a limit to the physsics properties in our universe with such stretch. If we apply the infinite concept to reality it leads to the sort of blinkered thinking which results in the repetition of mathematic rationale as though it were a final true answer to something that it does not address. Infinity is a concept that we use as an approximation. When something is so small or large that it is reasonable to regard it as infinite.

DeltaV savings from equatorial Mountain launch
AngelLestat replied to Bryce Ring's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Yeah is that, I also remember that TV program. This has economical sense if you know that you need to launch X amount of satellites of certain mass (very common in big communications proyects) and there is not other launcher that give you a good price with this amount of mass. So if you already had a rocket design able to carry 10 tons, but you need 12. Then you build this barge and you launch from the equator. Right now with the amount of different launchers, there is not much point to do these things. -
You can said that if you travel in one side by the universe, you will never see the end, this is due that the own gravity bend the universe so is like walk over the surface of earth, and the second reason is that at the same moment is expanding (space and time) more faster that you move. So it will looks like is infinite.. but is not. you just need to define your frame of reference to compare. Seeing from the bulk the universe is not infinite. If the universe is infinite larger, then we can also said that something can be infinite small? I guess particle physsics would not be very happy to hear that. I think physicists in these cases need help from philosophers. In the edge of discovery, merging reality with the abstract of math, is not hard to lose your self in a loop between old definitions and new ones.

DeltaV savings from equatorial Mountain launch
AngelLestat replied to Bryce Ring's topic in Science & Spaceflight
try as I said, put a payload in geo orbit, one time from Cape Canaveral, the second from the equator. If all works fine, you will notice an increase of 25% in the mass of the payload. -
No matter how big is the number you wrote or imagine, is just a number. Infinite goes beyond that. Our universe has a finite time, it has a finite amount of matter, it has a finite space. Then we can said, ahh but it seems that we live in a multiverse, so it may be infinite universes; but we later discover that are generated by a finite number of actions in a superior brane. But then we can said that those branes are infinite.. Is like the concept of god, when we reach our limit of understanding, then we need to quote concepts like "it must be the work of a creator" or "infinite".
-
in my opinion, infinite is a concept that has only meaning in the abstract mathematical frame. I cant imagine a case where infinite may had sense in reality. Those are the cases where our math fails to describe the object of study.

AngelLestat replied to bac9's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
one question, maybe off topic.. How I remove all the stock wings and aero parts from the game? I already delete all models and parts in gamedata/squad/aero with one part exception (tail) But when I enter in the game all those parts are still there. And I can use them.. First I thought that maybe FAR mod was causing this, but I dont see any model file there. I use many others mods but I still can not find what is causing this. How do you do it? I just want to use procedural wings.. that is one of the main reasons dont you? -
DeltaV savings from equatorial Mountain launch
AngelLestat replied to Bryce Ring's topic in Science & Spaceflight
One thing that we all forget and is not mention in that link that hostage gave to you.. Is the final orbit inclination you want end. In fact a total of 38 commercial sats were launched from a mobile maritime platform in the equator. So yes.. you have some benefics.
