attosecond

I'd love to see a rotating visual from the TOTM thread... would be fun to open the page to new eye candy. Might not be possible with this forum software, but maybe?

Since the poll topic about reorganizing the forums has been closed, I'm starting this topic for us to voice additional requests. Expanding the topic of subforum reordering to include other forms of change, as well (e.g. complete removal of elements). No expectations implied or assumed, but here's hoping some of our requests are within the volunteer mods' purview! My request: get rid of the KSP2 banner at the top of the home page.

Could also have been chute failure...

I give the same sort of answers to my wife (often), and over many years she's learned to interpret it as "not any time soon... do it yourself if you want it done this decade." I'm sure I and others would happily pitch in to do this ourselves, but we can't. Hoping whomever is in charge of the site layout is more motivated than I am when asked to take on an unpleasant task...

After I set aside my Sega Genesis in 1995, I didn't purchase another video game until my brother-in-law turned me on to KSP1 back when it was 0.26 or so. I didn't purchase anything after that until KSP2... after witnessing how poorly the business community has handled what I consider to be an artful passion project, I think I'm done. I'm flabbergasted and yet completely unsurprised to see KSP2 on sale with no acknowledgement that it's irredeemable junkware. I guess we call this the cherry on top?

Here's what I would correct: I don't ever believe or assume, or even think I'm on the right path. At best, I hope I'm heading in the right direction... if my arguments pass muster, I can usually convince one funding agency or another to throw some $ behind the effort. There's always a healthy amount of doubt about what I'll find at the end of the particular rainbow I'm chasing... experience will teach anyone in STEM that every effort is filled with enough forks, detours, wrong turns, etc that belief in your chosen course of action is ill-placed. So far, the process seems to be worth it. Sometimes I even question that (when things have really gone south and my latest machine just ate itself).

1st-person perspective: breakthroughs are not something you try for (most days). My experience has been that they're stumbled across, tripped over, and often ignored as noise or systemic error for some period of time. Only when you carefully examine what you did, what the results were, and what could tie the two together do you realize that your problem is much worse than a mistake - you now have new physics you need to explain. It's simultaneously the best, and the worst, realization. At no time during the process do I believe anything, or have faith in anything. That's it. The answers, if proven to be correctly derived and verifiable via measurements, stand on their own. Don't believe me? Go perform the experiment yourself, or code up the physics in a simulation, or both. If you come up with a different answer that's free of mistakes and errors, well... that's what the process is all about, isn't it?

.... said the new user making his/her/their 2nd post ever. Possibly a TTI troll attempting to deflect/defuse/obfuscate further? Surely not a seasoned KSP vet...

And those who can't do either, manage.

This is the most succinct summary I've seen.

Thanks for the tip... wasn't aware there was an alternate route. Up to 7 rejections, now, and will try this next.

Steam has refused me 6 times so far... planning to keep at it until I get something other than a canned response.

+1 on everything @RileyHef just said.
