Gargamel

Thank you for trying to be helpful, but this discussion is from 9 years ago, and everyone involved has presumably long since moved on to other things. Locking thread to prevent further confusion.

Just because something is difficult doesn’t mean it won’t get done. And those who do do it, they will be the vocal minority, so we will definitely hear about it. This is KSP we’re talking about, the word “kerbal” has become an adjective to describe ludicrous, grandiose, dangerous, and extreme. It doesn’t matter how hard or difficult it is, it’ll get done. So if they half ass the end game just because only a few players will get there..... that would be very disappointing of them.

Having a rough day overall.... take a break at work and play a little euchre to take my mind off things. If I had a table, I would have flipped it and punched a baby seal. One of those days. Huh?: I was dealt the best possible hand you can get, just in spades, but my idiot partner made Diamonds trump, making my hand completely worthless

Oh, clearly, but that again reduces our usable payload to something even less efficient.

One launch failure would be unacceptable. Best case scenario it detonates on the pad, and keeps the fallout to a small area. Imagine what happens when a second stage booster fails to lite up and the waste falls from apogee, and the container burns up upon reentry? We’ve now made a couple minor countries uninhabitable for a couple centuries. Worst case scenario here is that it lands where most space refuse seems to land, Australia, and now those snakes and spiders are giant radioactive mutants and start over running the planet and nothing can stop them.

They’re floating around the net, but the original source has long since vanished. Way back machine or such might have it.

Congrats! I completely empathize with your joy. When I built my new computer two years ago, I booted up a clean unmodded install and did a full Apollo style lunar mission. It had been a long time since I had run a fully hands on flight, and it felt wonderful to know I could still do it. Keep it up!

Gah. It’s been like 3 years since I made a serious Jool mission. Now I wanna go back. Thanks for that.

AFLAC!

I wonder if they use random dice rolls to see which words of their tweets get turned into hashtags.

What the heck are you just rambling on about?

Posted where?

https://www.thisiscleveland.com/events/yuri-s-night-space-party I’ve always wanted to go, maybe I will this year. Not the exactly right date, but they do hold the party every year. (Well, most years, ya know, last couple have been rough).

There is a good chance at least some of these guys play KSP, which means there is a significant non zero chance at least one of them is reading this thread and thinking to themselves “Hmmmmmm maybe the internet nerds are right this time”.

Moved to Mission Reports.

There’s a very fine line between tent and inflatable habitat.

Sometimes I wonder in disgust why I’m the one that ended up on some government watch lists.

There is no such thread

I’m still in the dark here. I don’t see a thread like you describe.

I’m not sure what you’re asking here. What thread is this?
