It almost made it.

God I hated RealPlayer... ._.

Is that a rocket or a fission reactor?

The blue things are errors. That photo has been heavily manipulated. Don't be fooled into thinking that's atmosphere. There is no way that could be true.

I see a huge difference between that photo and this picture. The highest temperature is always where the reaction takes place. In case of chemical rockets it's the chamber where highest pressure is. In case of nuclear rockets it's the nuclear reactor core. My point is - the end of the nozzle can not possibly be hotter than its neck.

Crackling is something that one can be genetically predispositioned to get, so unless you're in pain, you're ok. Funny, the poll says the community is older than before.

From photon's perspective, life lasts for zero seconds. As soon as it's "born", it "dies". That's what special relativity predicts.

Even if it's cooled, it will always be hotter than the nozzle.

Excellent idea. It's one of those things KSP really lacks. Kerbals are totally mute when they really should be making sounds. I suggest heavy research of Squad's official KSP videos. There's plenty of Kerbal vocalizations inside. By the way, you got mentioned here on Modding Monday. https://www.facebook.com/kerbalspaceprogram/posts/970976469588244

Nice Eve mission! Here's Jeb, being ecstatic over his new toy.

It is false color (VIS broadened by UV and IR) and extremely saturated. Your eyes would not see this. It can not be gaseous or liquid. Ceres doesn't have an atmosphere.

Those are not real colors, of course. That's not only extremely saturated, but also includes good part of UV and IR. So it's false color.

Update. Noice. Will check shortly. As for the undocking sound, you could do again some brrrrr (like deep battery drill sound) and clack! at the end.

Will the mod ever be repaired to account for realistic temperature distribution as sashan described here?

To kill a wounded or helpless or incarcerated man would be a crime and if it happens in a war, it's a war crime for which you should stand on court. That is not only the law, but also my personal morality. If he's running towards you and trying to kill you, things change rapidly.

At first, you would try to reorient yourself. It stops after a while. That's why astronauts are confused upon returning and need to be taken care of.

I see both of our countries have the same moronic officials which misuse the term "ecology". It has become a term similar to what "organic" is in USA now. It makes the actual ecologists very mad.

What you're gonna do is what agriculture has been doing since the nuclear age started. Basically everything we eat has been made like this. Crapload of subjects (corn, for example), blind genome bombarding with ionizing rays, planting, multiplying, choosing the tiny proportion which is not useless freak plants. Rinse and repeat. Incredible damage to the genomes has been done this way. Deletions of whole cromosomes, destruction of genes... But it gave us food. Nowdays we have way better method. Genetic modification. But by all means, try it. I would.

You're talking about 1942 and you're talking about the military. Not really the branch famous for intellect. Is it surprising to expect savage, trigger happy behaviour towards a cloud considering these factors? I don't think so.

No, the video is just fancy but totally unrealistic. It assumes most of the kinetic energy would be converted to mechanical energy which is not correct. Most is converted into heat.

Coolant Crisis Took me a few days but it was worth it.

I'm not sure how Windows 8.1 works (I'm fine with 7), but I had similar problems. Try "test speakers". That forces them to produce sound. It's weird, but it works.

Even if there is some destabilization occuring, there's a constant surplus of photons pouring at the event horizon so the photon sphere is stable as a dynamic equilibrium. There would be some serious ionizing radiation in that sphere. Matter, falling towards the black hole, emits x-rays. I bet there's an unbelieveably enormous intensity in that sphere, a lot more than around the hole.

You don't need rockets for it. UK did a normal test with a derailed full train, locomotive and vagons, in 1984. It was to ensure the safety of the nuclear flasks carrying spent fuel from old Magnox reactors. It was broadcasted over BBC television to the general public, too. There was even a confused Greenpeace nutter in the studio doing their standard "lalala, can't hear you" chant when presented with empirical data. Properly made, transportation flasks are virtually indestructible by common accidents. 14 inch thick steel in the 1984 Magnox case. Cooling fins will buckle here and there, but that's it. I suppose an extremely powerful hydrogen nuclear bomb could penetrate it if it was next to it, but then you wouldn't need to worry about the flask, would you?

Because gravity is a consequence of spacetime distortion by mass. The distortion won't cease to exist outside the region where it's strong enough.
