  1. One word, Canada. Just because in one case it didn't work out doesn't mean it is impossible.
  2. Did the "heatshield engineer" just say that friction causes the heat build up.
  3. Likely the next president will not kill the SLS because it will achieve success in his term and if he gets reelected will grab the big success of the Asteroid Capture atleast the return to the Moon.
  4. Yet I remember in the last four years the launch of MAVEN, Expedition 35, LADEE, and the landing of Atlantis all being broadcast on news stations. The reason astronauts no longer drive corvettes is there are more than 7 astronauts. It is just the natural decline of any interest overall. Many people probbably don't care about new planes being built because it is normal now.
  5. I think many people on this forum seriously underestimate the public interest in space flight. Fox News for crying out loud promoted NASA after the failure of Antares, and so did several other media organizations. Do you people forget the Curiosity landing and how much buzz surrounded that. Just because the average person won't go out of their way to watch a rocket launch or they don't think that funding for space programs should be the prime goal of the government does not mean that they don't care about it.
  6. It's not randomly generated. It is just you have your ground on a low setting.
  7. Yes and the Russian Space Program and all space programs have to work under the constrains of a budget. Saying that the budget could collapse is a far cry from what is going to happen. The first missions are too close for funding to be cut. It would be a bad political move currently as everyone is starting to get hyped about space taxis.
  8. Do the white suits not actually respawn in non-permadeath, because I am pretty sure that is just a myth that the white suits don't respawn. So I don't see whatt the point is unless you are going to use it to attract attention to her. Though I guess I would be fine with it.
  9. Since once you get out of the 2.5km physics sphere the vehicle disappears for our purposes. No.
  10. The only downside that is keeping me away from bigger planets is that the detail will decrease planetside if it happens. If that can be fixed I will certainly jump on board the bandwagon.
  11. Then tell me what happens when you have ten thousand funds and then you crash a ten thousand fund spaceship.
  12. What kind of jets you using that melt not only the control tower but also the runway.
  13. For those stubborn enough to choose the lower form of hype transportation. The hypeplane is willing to take make some concessions to allow you to still sit in a train while on a plane.
  14. I think it would be a pop up tutorial or something because somewhere one of the clues was clippy. If you don't understand what clippy is. It was a Microsoft help icon on Microsoft Word and other Microsoft Office products. It also adds up to all the other hints.
  15. I would then advise you to not play the game until 1.0 comes out then you can play it as an actual game. IMO if you are playing for the updates your not really enjoying the game.
  16. I would have to say persistance (.14) without it we wouldn't have many of the things we use today such as docking, eva, spacestations, multiple crew, multiple command pods, large debris fields, and anything existing outside of a 2.5 radius from your ship.
  17. Yes but that argument is that it isn't economically viable because there is nothing there that we are running out of here on earth. This could be vastly different in KSP, but you still run into the problem of why do you need to send people there. IRL you would send them for maintenance but in KSP nothing ever breaks down unless you break it.
  18. The buff will likely be a perminate one to parts. The temporary part likely refers to if you choose unpid interns you are not locked in. It is basically improving parts much like what NASA did to the shuttle engines. You are finding out how to get less drag.
  19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD_mUwzpUs4 What about a barricade. The landing would be pretty hairy if it worked, and no doubt the shuttle would experience some damage.
  20. The ladder positioning is fine. A single parachute (except for maybe the MK-16) will allow to land. Just don't attempt to pysics-warp during reentry, and you will be fine. I have landed crafts coming back from minmus with only one of the radials. Also if you moved the position of the ladder it would get in the way of RCS ports and any engines you may have placed on the axis of your craft.
  21. Well I did make this, but then again looking at it now kinda looks bad but then again I don't design for aesthetics.
  22. I watched the video and it seemed pretty hyperbolic. I don't have a phone much less a smartphone, and I have never had an experience like any in the video. Actually people who actively use their smartphone tend to be more sociable than me. Also I was at a cafe not too long ago and everyone was talking to each other except for the people who were alone. Sure you might be angered that people are taking bad photos but it has been that way since the age of the disposable camera. Phone cameras are not the problem. Instagram is not the problem.
