I'm happy to discuss this via PM but this isn't the place for it. Short explanation in the spoiler below. But let's get back on topic. I don't like the size of the navball, and I don't like the style of it either. I'm willing to learn, but It's a shame I have to learn it a second time.

Don't worry, @Mr. Kerbin, it's just a common joke to playfully pick on Mac gamers. It's just a bit of fun and not meant to be taken seriously. Welcome to the forum!

To me, that exactly matches the definition of "Non-nominal but usable orbit." Edit: Presumably, the Starlink satellites would also be able to use the orbit if their thrust were high enough. But a RUD seems more of a failure to me than a premature cutoff, even if it's being ditched in the ocean either way.

I had forgotten about this so I checked. It was the launch of June 2007. There was a fuel leak in the upper stage and the engine shut down early, resulting in a lower orbit than intended. The payload was able to compensate and the flight was claimed a success. I guess the definition of success becomes unclear when the payload itself has the ability to change its orbit. I suppose it's like getting a ride to the hospital; if you are unconscious and the ambulance drops you off outside the doors, that would be a huge failure on their part. But if you are able to walk in on your own two feet thanks to the care they gave you on the way, well... they got you most of the way, so it was a success, I guess? But both eventualities would lead to a thorough investigation.

I think there might be a misunderstanding here. T2 have never said they will close the forums. We just haven't heard what their plans are and some of us are concerned as to what the future might be. If the forums close, that would be the time to call them, if that's what you want to do. Best not get ahead of ourselves

I would imagine it would take quite a few orbits for them to come down, wouldn't it?

It was nevertheless a very interesting and beautiful sight to watch the ice crystals form, gently fall off and then get blasted away by the rocket exhaust.

Let's not get too far off topic now, lads

We are part way there

No, those are long John's.

This is actually one of the best-prepared mission ideas/challenges I've come across. It gets me itching to play the game but I don't think I'm going to have time to do so for a while. I really hope others do, though, because this looks lile it could be a really fun thread.

Yeah, it's a nice idea but a forum hosted on a single machine in someone's house would be susceptible to all sorts of security and stability risks, unfortunately.

There is a statistics page, but it unfortunately doesn't properly break down activity according to time of day. However, in general, Saturday appears to be the quietest day.

The Swedish mile ("mil") is 10km. Swedish people are reeeeealy tall.

What about that disturbs you? I am trying to work out what difference the size of the explosion makes.

@Cryptobux the only thing I can suggest is to contact TakeTwo directly. If there's anyone who can do it, they are the only ones.

Let's not make a big deal of it. @Spikemasternever specifically limited this to terrestrial locations so it is a matter of interpretation. As the OP, @Spikemaster is the best person to enforce the rules. The rest of us just play, please.

It's more like... do I really want to open the admin panel and dig around in the guts of a forum that is liable to get knocked offline at any moment? (502, 503, 504...)
