If you go to the Clyde space website they have a 12U structure category but barely anything for it, not even structures. I was looking at Structures on another webstite and they say that a few 6U cubesats are prepping for launch. Here is the 6U Website: http://www.cubesatshop.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=45&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=66&vmcchk=1&Itemid=66 And the clyde Space product list: http://www.clyde-space.com/cubesat_shop

My one complaint is how it no longer quicksaves automatically at the start of a launch.

This belongs in science labs but... SOOOO COOL! This is awesome! I'm only half way through but I will for sure watch the rest.

It goes like this: Meters Decameters(not in game) Hectometer(not in game) Kilometer Megameter Gigameter Terameter Petameter Exameter Zetameter Each one having 1000X more than the other 1000 Kilometers = 1 Megameter.

Double as in double the actual 1$ coin and flip two or just double how much you win?

I voted no. If you clip tanks in tanks all you are doing is increasing fuel density. You have to carry the weight of those tanks. It looks better but still decreases performance.

Seems legit. If this was how it worked a few things would probably happen: 1. All people on board die 2. Ship explodes 3. They go somewhere time is slower and they all die before leaving the solar system 4. They teleport to a hell dimension after folding spacetime and the ship becomes possessed and kills a rescue missions crew. Sadly, this is not how physics works. Option 4 makes a good movie though.

Does that mean you could put it in half day and be fine? I thought GPS sats used half day? What if you interfere with their signals? What is the OP using this sat for? I hope its pictures of Earth, that would be neat.

Ok, rendering the video. Few things. I hope you don't mind but I moved nauthy from the hermit shack to the core. I also managed to drop a few cube octags from the lander and got the parts down to 34. Leaving me 6 parts to spare for a future lander Here is the video: And here is the Persistance: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o67znzuhgz6c5fp/presistent.txt

It's around 38 parts. Where would I find they persistence file for the world? I'll go first and try to get the video working ASAP after I record it.

If it isn't too late I think I would like to go first. I was messing around with some stuff on Minmus and I think I got a decent base core with a fairly standard docking height. I'm not too sure because camtasia is acting up and will only half render videos. Here is the lander:

I have to say, very well put together. I think cooperation is the best path. You have much more money and more people. One person getting shut down isn't as big of a problem. And there are multiple ways to do the same thing.

I don't like the idea of remote drones. If someone is flying it remotely entirely then they are more likely to crash it. If it's given commands and gets destroyed blame it on the coding. Let's take Jaegers from Pacific Rim for example. If we actually made one or managed to we would probably put people in them. Why? We could probably completely remote control them. But if people are in them and they legitimately can die and injured then you put survival instinct in them. Not that machines have adrenaline in them but people usually fight better when they think they will die. This means if they are in it they are less likely to break or destroy anything. The same goes for planes in combat or spying.

It would be nice to see a VERY small probe sent to the Centauri system. Something that would get there in at least 2500 years. Send it on a huge rocket with lots of delta V and a few solar panels. It would go into low power mode for 2000 years, 250 on leaving and another 250 turned on when entering the area around the system. Then it could draw solar from the stars.

There is a tutorial, it's just very hidden. I don't like it either.

The Sr-71 was pretty close to hypersonic and as far asi know it only had things like rudders. I'm not sure how different mach 3.2 is from mach 5+ though.

I am all for nuclear but I never thought about this... What happens if war breaks out and one of these things gets bombed? Are they bomb-proof? Would a meltdown happen? I really want to know.

Whenever I make anything on Minmus I put engines facing down so I can get traction and use the suspension to my advantage to dock. If I am off a few cm I can throttle the engines a bit and lower or use the bounce of shut of to raise.

The fastest We can get here is something like 750 MB/s and for 200 CAD a month. I have 100 MB/s and its still not enough for me! I could use faster uploading too, only 5 MB/s

I had a 2003 dell optiplex With 4 gb of ram and a pentium 4 dual core at 2.4 GHz when my PC broke down and it got like 30 FPS with a 50 part ship with nothing else open. It had XP though.

According to Penn and Teller Recycling costs multiple billions of dollars to the gov in the US. I expect it to be the same in Canada just less. I hope someone ends this madness. If you haven't seen it you should watch the Penn and Teller on recycling.

Maybe handed-ness is common because as a social species it is better to be able to share handed tools. if it was 50/50 we would have a hard time sharing tools because there would be less right handed ones but more left handed ones. Only 1 in 2 people would have a tool for our handedness whereas now its 4/5.

That would be great! Too bad our nearest star is 4 LY away...

Good point. Their lifespans may also be shorter. Although this is all speculation now because they may not even die at all.

So I was searching around for info on binary systems online and wikipedia said that star density went up near the galactic center. If that is true then not only would binary systems be more common but if stars are closer would civilizations near the center have an easier time going from star to star? If stars were even 2 LY apart it would make interstellar travel much easier. Going 10% the speed of light it would only take 20 years and 40 at 5% even if you could only get to 2.5% It would still be doable in a human lifetime. It's 2 in the morning and I have no idea if I am right but would it make it easier? Obviously it is stupid to send an astronaut on a 40 year trip when he is 35 so he comes back half dead. I feel that Interstellar trips will be done in large groups at first.
