  1. If all the plants on Earth stopped producing oxygen, how long would it take before the atmosphere became unbreathable?
  2. I started moving ahead on my Big Dumb Jool Mission ! My monstrously over-designed mothership, RDAS Falcon Star, in construction around Kerbin. At this point it still needs the lander. Plus one lander. It has parachutes for Laythe, but I don't know if it'll be able to manage the ascent. Quicksave shall be my friend! Transferring to Minmus, to refuel before the final burn for Jool. Always helps to have full tanks on your way out. Minus one refueling ship. My old kethane base. At some point, I'm gonna have to move it up the hill. It's deposit is starting to run low...
  3. I've been working on my own Eve return vehicle, and I came up with a great way to save weight. I'm sending a rover out to Eve first, which has all the science I could possible want. All my little Kerbonauts have to do is land nearby, and the rover will come to them. Grab the science and go! I'm curious to see what you did, though. Gimme pictures!
  4. I think how fast they decelerate has something to do with the fact that they're nearly massless.
  5. Behold! Baby's first Kethane base! My plan is to use it to supplement interplanetary missions. Large ships tend to burn up a lot of fuel getting out of low Kerbin orbit, so it makes sense to have the option of topping off before you exit Kerbins SOI.
  6. Huh, I thought they did. Oh well. I do have kethane installed, so the plan is still on the table. If I used those engines, do you think it'd work out?
  7. I've been planning an Eve mission for a little while, and I think I have a method of returning from the surface that might work. My thinking is to use a first stage on the lander similar to the one Scott Manley made in his Reusable Space Program series. I know jet engines work on Eve, so the added fuel efficiency might help get the ship past the thickest part of the atmosphere. There, conventional rockets could take over. Also, this plan might be aided by the new Rapier engines, but I don't know their thrust off hand. Has anyone tried doing this?
  8. Hey, newbie question. I quit the game without shutting down my experiments, and when I came back, I couldn't continue them. How do I fix this?
  9. I've got a wee problem with my version of Mapsat. All of the models work fine, I can staple them to my ships, no problem. The only thing is, the mapping menu doesn't show up anywhere. Anyone have any theories on how to fix that?
