Gargamel

It had a few moments where it nailed some aspect of the science dead on, but then completely negates that genius by ignoring it with contradicting plot points.

Watched “Moonfall” over the weekend. Don’t. It’s not even good bad. It’s just bad. At least Armageddon had good dialogue and acting.

Shouldn’t affect it at all. If you’re standing there, and can manually release the clamp, it’ll come off. This has to drop away 100% of the time automatically, and is several orders of magnitude larger than a car sized hose would be, which leads to its own set of issues.

Question moved to Add-on discussion as it is not about the base game

As the math will quickly show the only viable solution is an Orion drive, it has been merged into the Orion thread.

Too bad lounge and games posts don't count towards post count for this very reason.

Don't worry, nobody remembers the dates most monarchs died.

As somebody who has personally machined high tolerance quick disconnects for hydraulic fluid, these hydrogen dc's would not be easy to make. My product was fairly simple, if not precise. Make part to high tolerance at 20c. Thermal expansion that happens from operating temps (0c-40c?) is handled by O-rings and choice of alloy. But this... you machine the device at 20c, give or take, and then have it operating in temperatures from >30c (It's Florida) to whatever the god awful temperature of liquid hydrogen is.... of course it's going to leak. The problem might not be with the coupling. That might be at it's engineering limits. The problem might lie with the protocols and procedures surrounding hydrogen leaks. They might be too strict. Far from it. Just looking at the picture I can see from the mirrored finish of the male probe the level of machining that went into this. That's a an RA of <10. That's not a low tech piece.

The Diver in me has no comment. The paramedic in me says "Ohhh! Job Security!" They apparently got the footage though!

https://trajbrowser.arc.nasa.gov/traj_browser.php A quick google search turned up that and a whole bunch more. That tool might not do exactly what you want, but I know there has to be a tool online somewhere to do this.

That's our problem. The hosts are excellent in suggesting games, but even then, there's so much to choose from. Excellent! Added a number of "want to plays" to my spreadsheet. It's very convenient that the cafe is around the corner, as we can play a game multiple times before purchasing if we choose. Our first game was "The Hive", simple no speaking card stacking game. Host said she'd never seen anybody get beat the game, we beat it on our second try, got free drinks from the host on that one. We enjoyed that one so much, we ended up buying it (You might enjoy for a light warmup game @TheSaint). "Wordsey" was one of my favorites, as it tickles my ADD mind significantly. Ever play scrabble and think "If I only had these three letters...", well no you do have those three letters. And it's about speed, so the random bouncing in my brain is a plus for once in my life. Shared letters on the board, and you score only those letters, but your not constrained to just those letters. My girl, who is no intellectual slouch herself, was just decimated playing this. One of the reasons I loved it and she got it for me for my birthday.

Spent weeks trying to get the rover to fly right on entry. More weeks spent trying to get that lander to back to orbit. Then realizing I needed to build a launcher to get it there in the first place, with juuuuust enough fuel to land smoothly. Oh, yeah, the weeks driving the rover cross country to the lander cause it wasn't a precision landing craft, I mean it was a flying bus, but also to get lots of biome data.

There's nothing stopping you from sharing your love of a game that you enjoy. We do already have some threads already on the game (to call it a clone of KSP is quite a stretch though). That said, this is the official forums for KSP, run and owned by the publishers involved, so it's up to you how you want to handle it.

My SO and I have found ourselves playing a lot of board games of late, there's even a cafe in the area that we frequent. The problem is, this is like going into a library (it is literally a library TBH) and having to guess which books you'll like right off the bat. We hate wasting 30-45 minutes trying to learn a game to just realize it's not what we want. So I started a google spreadsheet where we can manage our "reading list" while we're there. I just copied the list from their website and pasted it into xcel and alphabetized it. https://www.tabletopcleve.com/new-index So, if anybody has any recommendations from the list, or in general, share them!

Looks like according to the graphic @taterposted, it should be coming down near Panama somewhere, as that's the only place I can think of that the two oceans are that close together.

@WildsAs mentioned above, the linked download violates the original license, and has therefore been removed. Perhaps if you offered a collaboration, @OhioBobwould be willing to work with you on a version.

We already have a thread on Orion, quite lengthy one. Please direct the conversation there.
