Anything out there close to as decent as The Expanse (is/was)?
Gargamel replied to JoeSchmuckatelli's topic in The Lounge
Wut? Explain please The “problem” with “The Expanse” is that they took Hard Sci Fi and went way beyond it. Most of the true hard sci-fi stuff wouldn’t actually work when you sit down and crunch the numbers, at least not in the way they showed it. And then they have a magic molecule that does so many different things. And not once, not once, did I question any of it. Those two writers found the magic path right in between real science and outlandish bafoonery and walked right down the middle of it. Superbly done. And you’re going to be hard pressed to find another show / book that finds that perfect balance between realism and fiction. -
[snip] Anyways This thread is not about beards, or stress, or not anything that isn’t starfield vs KSP. Please stay on topic.

I think I’ll pick up doctor sleep on audio book. Just finished Dune Messiah, good series so far. Been on a John Scalzi kick the last 6 months, finishing up both of his longer series, jumping back and forth as the library loans them to me. Picked up his “Kaiju Preservation Society” on Wednesday, and was done with it by the next day. Short at ~270 pages, but a delightfully fantastic fun romp. Think Godzilla meets Avatar meets Warehouse 13.

Project Orion: A discussion of Science and Science Fiction
Gargamel replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
As this thread has turned into yet another thinly veiled Orion SSTO thread, it has been merged. -
When I asked the same question about my proposed Houston, Marshall, KSC, road trip, the response was overwhelmingly positive. I had budgeted about a half day. The you tube channel Smarter Everyday has some videos from there as they live in the area. Supposedly it’s the only place you can see a Saturn V stacked.

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread
Gargamel replied to Skyler4856's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I’m seeing the SpongeBob Patrick meme here. “We solve all our problems over here, by creating a whole new set of issues over there.” Doesn’t mean it’s not a bad idea though. Although, I don’t ever recall seeing a frisbee flying face first. -
I know his has been the subject of the podcasts, and will probably continue to be so, but we’d like to contain KSP2 topics to the KSP2 sub forum. We really don’t need free range KSP2 topics wandering about, getting out of containment. Feel free to discuss the podcast itself here, but any topical discussions about KSP and KSP2 should be in their respective sub forums.

What's the hardest available campaign contract you've had?
Gargamel replied to onionsiegward's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Pretty sure it was @Just Jimin Emiko that had a super grand tour contract, where he had to take a tourist to every celestial body and land. Might have been another comic we have here. I have also seen on here retrograde solar orbits inside Moho iirc. Apparently it required a few gravity assists from Jool to be reasonable. -
Old movies to show your kids of all ages....
Gargamel replied to StrandedonEarth's topic in The Lounge
While you joke... one kid's mom decided this was an appropiate movie for an 11 year old's sleep over birthday party. We loved it at the time, but man, looking back on it.... It once held the record for the most violent movie produced. Great movie. Still is. Goonies. And Serenity. -
Moved to Tech Support Consoles.

Some posts have been removed. While the main focus of the forum is KSP, this sub forum is dedicated, as the title says, to science and spaceflight, in particular S&S that doesn't pertain to KSP. Please take KSP related discussion to the appropriate sub forum. If you have a problem with another user's post, then use the report function for that post. Please do not deride another's comments.

Today marks the 37th anniversary of me not getting the USS Flagg for my birthday. -
Speaking of Science... we need a 'Kerbilopedia'!
Gargamel replied to JoeSchmuckatelli's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
What we really don’t need is yet another thread that covers all the various things everybody wants in a game. Let’s stick to the topic of a KSP2 kerbalpedia. -
Sun Guns Instead Of Lasers For Space Travel
Gargamel replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Surely you don’t mean a private investigator? -
Some aspects of your question are still under review by the legal team, as soon as we hear back fully from them, we'll let you know.

What do you think about "For all mankind" season?
Gargamel replied to Pawelk198604's topic in The Lounge
I only saw the first few minutes of the latest season, but that montage of history to catch up to the beginning of the episode was pretty well done. -

Gargamel replied to jeb_is_dead's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs)
Again, I'll say we need more info.... in particular, the logs. Please host them on an outside site and link them here. At least, if getting the logs is a little confusing, you can start by disabling half your mods, and see if it works or not. Then disable half of the half that doesn't work, and so on until you narrow down the culprit. -

Gargamel replied to Streetwind's topic in Science & Spaceflight
