Laythe changes the rendering mode at 160 km so I've added that into the list.

Eve. Duna is way too deserted place. I've returned 3 Kerbals from Eve to Kerbin. It's very hard, but the environment is just too nice.

Kerbin. Laythe is ammonia ridden, cold and bare world bathing in high levels of ionizing radiation. It's cool to visit, but not to live there. To me, this looks so artificially colored my eyes are getting cancer just by looking at it. It looks like someone was goofing around in Planet Factory CE.

Exactly. Mars One is a pipe dream, but so enormous we could call it a scam. No, I was not reffering to photosynthesis. I was talking about the whole metabolism net production. All I claimed is that plants require oxygen molecules in order to live. But you're saying they don't need atmospheric oxygen. I disagree. Oxygen is released through stomata after going through the mesophyl sponge. There is no oxygen storage or retention there. When lights go out, the plant is left with glucose. What to do with it? Store it, process it into building material or react it with oxygen, coupling the reaction with ATP synthesis. If you constantly remove oxygen (people breathing it in a sealed environment), and thus supply the plant with nothing but CO2, or a solution of nitrogen in CO2 and water vapor to match oxygen deprived environment, problems occur, and it would be useless to discuss all that here because those things are what research papers are made from. Tons of variables, tons of experiments. Thing is - plants make enough oxygen to cover their needs, but they can't live without it. Remove it completely and they stop working.

That's because those aren't memes. Those are funny pictures. Memes are viral information that spread through the society. If the information isn't viral, you don't have a meme. You can't just stuff some funny text lines on a photo and call it a meme. Memes aren't made, they spontaneously form. "More boosters more struts" is a meme, although a weak one and probably the strongest meme KSP has to offer, for now.

Confirmed by lots of banana testing - it works in v0.9, too.

That is not (complete) truth. Plants consume oxygen, too. Why would they store all that sugar? They oxidize it to synthesize ATP, among other compounds. Plants merely produce more oxygen than they consume, but they consume plenty of it, otherwise they'd die.

Because some people use Internet for things other than pr0n and games.

Airplanes use highways, too. They're called corridors or airways. You can sometimes see them when the high tropospheric conditions are right to cause ice precipitation. It's what ignorant nutters call "chemtrails". Now imagine if plane operators decided to fly the things as they please. Even with defined corridors we get (rarely, but still) mid air collisions. Flying cars are supposed to lower the friction, but their energy consumption is ridiculously high and thus they are useless. They exist, but they are simply useless, noisy machines.

Thread author is not lying. Such things do happen, but one has to be pretty naive to fall for it.

No, that proved Valeri Polyakov can survive in space using excercise. There is enough mutual differences between humans that various problems arise when you put them in such weird conditions for enough time.

Here's to a way less sucky 2015! *lifts glass of tea*

In that case, sign me up!

It's nothing new, but I think the paycheck is a bit slim. This is a bit dangerous and the money required to recuperate one's body might be more than you'd get by participating in this thing. Voluntary clinical experiments on people who gave their informed consent is a staple in medicine. I honestly don't see any problems with it.

I'm glad you're doing well. Just remember one thing. Don't go into another relationship as a moth into the fire. It rarely ends well and it causes a viscious circle of repeating it all the time. Take this time off for pursuing different things.

This happened to me at least once, a long time ago. Here's some rep for you to cheer you up.

There is no reason for duplicating threads if the new post is meaningful and contributes to the discussion. Now, back to the discussion. The minerals/ores/liquids/gases could be sold to rich Kerbal collectors in exchange for a financial injection. Mortimer Kerman would be in charge of doing the transaction.

I'm raising this thread because it's something I've been discussing on the KSP forum group on Steam now. Here we have 0.9 and still only "collect sample". I'd suggest actual visible items and a small museum where you can deposit them. Think of the opportunities. For example unmanned missions could be used to scoop up regolith, and manned ones would be required to sample stones. Bringing back a stone from Eve's ocean shores would be a remarkable quest. Few ores/stones/minerals per celestial body. Ampoule of Laythe's or Eve's ocean. Of course, a museum in the KSC would be most welcome.

I'm not sure if those wings will be ok for Laythe. They are pretty heavy, and pressure there is a bit above 0.7 atm.

I'd use the stock behaviour. If you pimp it, the stuff becomes cheating.

Where are you going to land?

The main shield was pushed away and its strut endpoints were salvaged because why the hell should we do it before, when it was easier, if it can be done afterwards? Jebediah, Bob and Bill boarded the ALCOR lander. It was lacking Raster Prop Monitor so they did the following manually, just like Jeb did it in the old days. A retro burn with low TWR was made and then the engine was jettisoned. The suborbital path was very shallow. There was almost no need for the shield as the reentry was very mild, with no plasma forming. I've landed roughly 1400 m from the northern shore of the northernmost island on Laythe. Terrain is tilted by several degrees. Jeb went to grab some samples of the Sagen sea water. Bob took care of the equipment while Bill was tending to the lander. For some reason, Kerbals can't breathe in Laythe's atmosphere anymore, but bananas are convinced they're home on Kerbin.

Cute, when cute. Not cute when not cute.

Is this intentionally written like this or are those new groups I was unaware of? On topic, I doubt a fandom can be created. There are a lot more popular things out there, yet no fandoms were made. Bronies and furries fandoms have underlying psychological and sociological causes behind them. KSP has absolutely no such advantages and personally, I find that to be really good. I wouldn't want a fandom to be made.

Any KSP stuff belongs to the General section, including fun stuff. Space Lounge is for other stuff.
