Yup, this is 0.90. Deep Freeze works fine. Not a single problem so far. It should be rated for 0.90.

Thanks, all. I have 0.125 m ones. C extractor, sabatier, water purifier and water splitter. I guess a few months more and RTGs will decay below the minimal sustainable power.

You should specify which one you're talking about in the title. There are two theories of relativity. Special and general one.

After a nice walk, Bob located Kron 3D lander probe which was launched several years ago. He found the probe to be in a decrepit state. RTG power is at 0%, batteries are completely dead and there isn't almost any fuel. But even in this state, the probe had some valuable items like its scientific instruments which we not taken aboard Kron 3 because Pepe Kerman forgot about it. Here's Bob holding a DAN unit (Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons). It took several journeys to the probe and back to retrieve all of the instruments. After returning with a SSL (Surface Scan Laser), Bob found the lander has fallen over to its side - an event which, although never did any damage, proved to cause a great deal of problems later with liftoff. "YOU DID WHAT?!" - "Noooo, noooo... I clean. No problem."

What are the power requirements of those machines? I have 4 RTG units worth of energy generation and I still have energy surplus.

You turn KSP into a new and exciting thing. That thing calculates optimal phase angles for one body and is very simplistic. To calculate a star system tour of planets where you know what will happen with the craft just thrown into the abyss, you need something much more complex, both in software and hardware.

I honestly have no idea. It depends on how close to the planets you want to pass. If you want to pass above the atmosphere, in some cases you'll be thrown out of the system. You need a computer program to figure this out.

Next part of the mission was precision landing on Slate to retrieve scientific instruments from the Kron 3D probe. The crew was enthusiastic, although they just might be happy because of colorful lamps and stuff. Lander was undocked from the ship and shield... ... and the ship redocked to the shield. Several burns were executed. As usual, Jebediah had to leave his piloting seat and show off. Landing was very precise given the 0.85 G of surface gravity and the fact it was manual. 611.5 m away from the target with only 16 m/s left in the descent stage and no destroyed equipment. One lander leg had to be raised to avoid tilting. The first Kerbal to set foot in Slatean soil was scientist Bob. Eeloo with Sarnus in the background. Tekto in the sky. After raising the flag, Bob went to the probe lander to check its status and retrieve the instruments. The ground is made of gravel, which is consistent with other data saying the region was once flooded.

Total journey requirements, I'd say at least 1 km/s to force everything to go nicely.

Could someone tell me what do I need to do to run the recyclers? Let's say I have half filled containers of water, waste water, CO2, food, etc. I put all of the machines on the vessel and click "activate" on them. Nothing happens, even though there is charge available. What am I doing wrong?

It's fun to watch, but it's not very helpful if in the end you again have to add the values to get the final result. Adding machine requires of user to add. Kind of useless, but fun nonetheless. I've seen this guy's channel. He made an air raid siren using wood. Rather neat stuff he has there.

I've overslept the actual moment. So let's celebrate with one of the foundations of pie. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/pie

It is impossible to tell without crunching numbers (just like what Voyager 2 was doing after scientists realized the alignments seemed to be acceptable). Each flyby changes the inclination so by the time you get far as Neidon, you might be going steep normal or antinormal. In experience, Jool will disrupt the orbit so badly you won't enter even Sarnus' SOI. Unless you rely on lots of delta v to constantly do corrections, chances are basically zero you'll make a grand tour just by inertia. It was pure luck Voyager 2 had the opportunity to do what it did.

The Ministry decided to do a cover-up. - - - Updated - - - The centrifuge is online. Of course, it doesn't spin this fast, it's just an animation.

That is exactly what's been presumed ever since we've visited those bodies for the first time. The new thing is that HST gave more evidence to support the hypothesis, but the hypothesis exists for a long time and is very solid.

I did have a disaster while doing the burns, when I collided with one jettisoned tank which was kilometres away. It was a spectacular sight indeed. Thank Squad for F9...

Oort cloud is at roughly 1 lightyear distance. Plenty of chaos there.

Indeed, if you view the solar disc (eclipsed in any amount or not at all) with a magnifying optical device, anything other than professional specialized filters will burn your retinas. This is not a joke. You will get injured. Safe methods of viewing an eclipse are: a) direct methods: looking through welder's glass #13 or #14 (the latter is better), looking through specialized filters (Baader solar filter are one of the best if not the best), looking through dense true black/white (silver emulsion only!) fully developed film negative (medical radiographs without images on them, 2 layers are best); only with naked eye - for watching through telescope, highly specialized filters are needed; in any case don't stare for a long time - it's not like you need more than 5-10 seconds indirect methods: projecting an image on a matte surface using a pinhole or a telescope/binoculars, watching the footage taken by a camera; you can watch that for as long as you want to, obviously Dangerous methods that will damage your retina or cook your eyeballs are: looking through a glass with deposited candle soot, several sunglasses, welder's glasses with shade <13, colour film negative, floppy disc, CD/DVD, photography filters, peeking into a telescope/binoculars with any filter other than exact specialized one set on the objective or looking through an unshielded telescope, etc. Just because one filter shows the visible Sun to be darkened, doesn't mean its infrared or ultraviolet transparencies are attenuated, too. You could be looking all wide eyed into the pleasantly dark photosphere, and meanwhile IR cooks your retina and UV breaks your retinal pigments and cells. Next thing you're trying to read something and you can't see the letters in your center of vision. You see stuff sideways yet nothing in the middle. Think about it.

If you have a body large enough to establish a decent hydrostatic equilibrium to turn itself into a proper ball, and it's far away making it possess ancient nebula H2O, chances are very high (I'd say 100% for all intents and purposes) there will be at least one pocket of liquid water at some depth where the heat is trapped and pressure is high enough. It's not surprising at all.

Extremely far objects have unfathomably long orbiting periods and their speeds far away are very small. Order is closer to the Sun. Far away, things never had the time to revolve enough times to bump into each other and leave a dominant direction of orbiting. Also, it's quite easy to reverse their orbits, give their tiny speeds. One passes next to each other and momentum gets stolen... voila.

No, focuses is fine enough. Viruses, cactuses.

You mean alcohol fueled. Water can't run a car. Well perhaps it could, if great deal of the car is made of teflon, and the car had intake for fluorine, being in a fluorine atmosphere. Otherwise not.

13 is fine. 13 and 14. I don't think 15 even exists. DO NOT DO THAT. Those are horribly poor filters. Their transmittance is too high for certain wavelengths and that will cause retinal damage you might not notice immediately. Damage depends on several factors. Brain has a powerful "software" to patch the bad image, but it doesn't work for all levels of damage. Never look at the Sun without proper shielding, unless it's just above horizon.

Kerbals have been awaken from their cryo-sleep, centrifuge has been assembled and first data started pouring in. First thing to do was to detach the ship into pieces and dock each arm, which are an autonomous RCS-powered vehicles, to the service module. The trio found this to be very amusing. Final assembling and positioning the radiators perpendicular to one another, to minimize influence. After a hard work, the team went for a spacewalk and restrutting. Tomorrow Bill starts the centrifuge.
