Yes, I expect Pluto to be similar to Triton. Probably not active as it, though.

Ceres looks plain because we get infrared images, yet it really has significant color which gives him more character than it would seem judging by gray images only.

Whaaat? So that means these guys have been lying to me!

That article/image launched a disinformation that the smallest toe is called Minmus. It's called minimus (Latin: "the smallest one"). And some of those things aren't really obscure...

I'd like to say I like it, but I can't. The bodies are mostly chaotic and inherit some bad ideas from Planet Factory. Also I really don't see the need for this. OPM is a work in progress. Its developers are slowly turning it into stock-like high quality expansion of the Kerbol system and they do it elegantly. This forking is not to my taste, sorry.

What Augustus said.

Oh, ok then. At first, I've seen the imgur gallery only and I thought you made an update, but I was very suspicious. Hope you won't repeat what he did.

Sir Aethon reported to me about this. http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/2wb7gg/outerplanetsplus_version_158_is_released_heres/ I immeditelly noticed something was weird about it. This is not your style. Crude, loopy, unrealistic. This is forked OPM.

Not true. Misplaced, later found. Footage of Apollo 11 TV camera. It was quite scandalous.

We should start with zero G airplane flights, as it was announced. If EU bureaucracy allows it, in the next couple of years there will be such flights here. It's a start.

This is a very different problem from the lever-train one. Here your action does not cause immediate death, but acts as an optimal quality offer. This is much easier to answer. But there's one problem with your premises. First you say that if you send 2 ships they have no chance of reaching the destination, and then you say they have 50% chance.

It is possible to be sued for doing nothing in some cases. For example if you see someone with serious, life threatening injuries and you don't call the emergency. The person bleeds to death and you're like "not my problem". Or if there was someone in imminent danger and, despite not being in any danger yourself, you don't warn them, but walk away, or worse, stay and watch. For example if you knew someone was about to walk across a minefield and you just watch to see what happens next. That will most certainly be a crime. However, as it was said before, this is a contamination of the previous question which deals with pure ethics. Healthy people would feel fear. Some would freeze, some would panic, some would run away in fear. Some would pull the lever despite being scared for life. Psychopaths would not feel fear at all. That's the difference. To them, this is a pure pragmatic issue. That's why they're so dangerous when they're put in charge of serious jobs. Although they can act humanely (because they've learned it just like they learned to say thank you, you're welcome, etc.), they do not feel anxiety over such actions and as such behave like basic AI. That is one of the seeds of disruptive phenomena on this planet, and the fact that they aren't screened allows them to slip through society's cracks and accumulate in certain professions where they become destructive. Exactly. We don't know what would we do. We can only speculate, but we can say what do we think would be the ethical thing. There is no winning in this scenario and people think there is. You lose every time.

There's nothing heroic about that act. Heroism is sacrificing (with full consent and fearful emotions that come with it) yourself for the benefit of others despite having odds against you. For example firefighter rushing into a burning house to save a person collapsed on the floor even though chances are they'll get killed.

Vast majority would freeze up or panic, losing their marbles. Small fragment would be calm and push the lever. We call them psychopaths. Their brains lack the responsible neurochemical pathways or are morphologically abnormal, making them have a lack of empathy (although they can learn to emulate it, even though they don't feel it). To them, this is a matter of solving a math problem. Not all psychopaths are evil. Probably a significant deal of them live pretty normal lives because they've adapted to the society. In certain cases, if they weren't raised well and if they get hold of power, they wreck havoc. Their condition is not cool or useful. It makes their lives much harder. It's a disability.

In theory, the solution is easy. To minimize damage, you pull the lever. But there's a difference between "what is the best solution" and "what do you think you'd probably do". Healthy brains would have an enormous difficulty deciding about this in an actual setting. Psychopaths' brains don't have such difficulties.

It's not that I don't want that, it's the fact that it won't happen. Think of the worst bureaucracy in the movies and multiply it by ten, and add bickering people and organizations willing to obstruct everything that could potentially help the economy. That's Croatia. It would be near Udbina in a region called Lika (where Nikola Tesla was born).

Anyone willing to throw such money into this bottomless, corrupted pit full of bickering people is, for my standards, a nutter. I live here. The current state of economy is such that young people are emigrating like mice are abandoning a sinking ship. Economy aside, how to solve other problems I've mentioned?

Your title is highly misleading. What you hotlinked there is not Apollo 11, but Gemini 12. In addition to that, there are no unreleased Apollo 11 photographs as far as I know. You can see all of them on The Project Apollo Archive. Everything is scanned and online. Every negative from those film canisters, no matter how bad it is.

As a fellow Croatian, I can confirm this is BS of insane magnitude. It's something the press kept pulling out during the last years every time there was a shortage of actual news. It's not the first time this is being waved in front of gullible morons around here. I was actually thinking if I should report about this, but I thought to myself it was too embarrasing, so thank you for doing it. Croatia is still in recession. Its economy is not nearly as bad as the Greek one. Even though its standard of living is in the top ones considering the southeastern Europe, it is way below the European Union average. The only way we could get a spaceport is if someone else were to invest in it. Given the fact that we have such inept government (and soon a criminal one will probably replace it), such high corruption that we aren't capable of pulling the bare Union funds properly, we can't really finish some basic projects like thermal power plants and strategical bridges, let alone a freaking spaceport. Our airforce uses MIG planes so old and bad that some of them fell from the sky in the recent years. Our only rockets are occasional silver iodide ones launched by some Joes. Should I say more? But let's consider all that solved. Let's say Swiss Space Systems wants to invest here and build a spaceport in Udbina. Do they know that there are other countries in the range of the rocket? Do they expect we could just throw first stages over Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia&Herzegovina, Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey? (a bit outdated, but you get the jist) This is Europe. It's not Kazakhstan with hundreds of kilometres of nothing or French Guijana with an ocean behind it. There are national parks nearby, too. What is this "Swiss Space Systems" anyway? LOL ps: Here's the article. Nothing special, as expected. It will probably end with some small high tech factory in the middle of nowhere. http://www.s-3.ch/en/home/2015/02/16/official-inauguration-of-swiss-space-systems-croatia

But man is also terribly stupid, even more so than paranoid. Let us not forget that.

If I tried to present arguments, you'd know it.

LOL no. Won't happen.

There is no need to go to any steampunk scenario. "The problem" with oil is not energy generation. We generate energy mainly using coal, uranium and gravitational potential energy of water. Oil is a petrochemical resource we use to make most of our stuff. Granted, we could make most of our stuff using air, water and salt, but it would be very expensive and there are also some things you just can't synthesize in a chemical reactor.

I've implemented two more mods. TAC Life Support and Deep Freeze. One of the 3.75 m modules (general Kerbal storage) from Taurus HCV will be replaced with a cryonic module from Deep Freeze. All this will add more immersion, but also more mass. In case this renders the whole ship so heavy it won't be able to perform, I'll abandon the centrifuges. They aren't "needed" because the crew will be frozen during the trip to the Sarnus system and back.

After restarting KSP, it works. I have no idea what happened. As the mod appears to be functional, I'll use it on my Kron 3 mission.
