Greenpeace does have a noble cause, but they haven't evolved beyond naive, ignorant environmentalism from the 70s. One of the key objections to their behaviour is complete and utter ignorance about fission energy and energy production in general, coupled with typical extreme exaggeration of solar/wind capabilities. Stupidity. One of their early leaders (or founders, can't remember) has left the organization and has become their critic. That speaks volumes. Experienced people leave and are replaced by young, stupid ones. Such policy ensures constant resetting of their microsociety, just like in other examples of similar NGOs. They are working against their cause. They lack something they like to mention too often - sustainability. Too bad people are misinterpreting scientific research of meteorology, zoology, ecology, climatology and oceanography with often mindless approach of Greenpeace. :/ I am strongly for the preservation of environment, but I'm also familiar with facts so you won't hear me defending unconditional usage of solar panels, for example. Whatever their policy is, destruction of our heritage as humanity is unacceptable, and their apology is meek at best. They might not actually understand what they've done.

This is a weird little game application. Infuriating and goofy at the same time. Post your records here.

It would be impossible if all of them are into conspiracy to give environmentalism a bad name and to make fossil fuel guys popular, but is it possible that its top people are paid by oil/coal guys, and the army of nincompoops is made of and alike?Or most of them are just like that, dumb and shallow?

Rosetta, Philae and Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
lajoswinkler replied to Vicomt's topic in Science & Spaceflight
That literally has nothing to do with how our eyes work. Like, nothing. Ever been on a fresh asphalt surface? Next time shield your eyes so you can see the asphalt only. It would look something like that. 67P is made of very dark gray rocks, something like fresh, damp coal. Absolutely no problem for looking at. -
No, just no. You pushing a piece of negative mass is interacting with it via electromagnetic force, not gravity. An iron cube made of negative mass iron is supposed to be the same, only it would be repelled by gravity. It would accelerate upwards at 9.81 m*s-2. That's it. I could catch it with my hand and tie it to a cube of normal iron of the same, but positive mass and that system would be floating (disregarding the buoyancy now). You couldn't make any perpetual motion machine using negative mass. Similar to repelling and attracting magnet poles, these things move while there's enough kinetic energy to overcome friction. Negative mass wants to go up, positive down. You could turn that into rotation, but briefly. Then equilibrium wins and motion stops. That's the case with any "magnet motor" out there. It's all crap made by frauds, btw.

lajoswinkler replied to Vicomt's topic in Science & Spaceflight
It depends on our eyes. It would be easily visible against the black sky as it's narrow as a light source. On the surface, it would be perfectly easy to see the rocks unless you stare at something white in the same time. Eyes are really great sensory organs. -
What the hell is an AMV?

You can prevent Steam from updating your game, but you can't prevent it from updating itself, and it really does that. It often crashes my KSP.

They need to be fined, I agree. Sucked money dry. I am actually wondering if they are really this stupid, or their top leaders are paid con-artists working for the fossil fuel industry PR, and they're just followed by an army of buffooning treehuggers who have no respect for humanity and no knowledge of the nature and environment or actually any science. They behave like teenagers on drugs. Absolutely no wisdom in some of their actions. Too bad this will only strengthen the positions of morons in the "anti GW" headquarters. And their "apology" is ridiculous. Greenpeace International 11 December at 17:08 · Edited · Without reservation, Greenpeace apologises to the people of Peru for the offense caused by our recent activity laying a message of hope at the site of the historic Nazca Lines. We are deeply sorry for this.

Hey, why are we Antarcticians discriminated? We have rights, too!

Hmm... a new form of synesthesia?
lajoswinkler replied to YourEverydayWaffle's topic in Science & Spaceflight
That is not synesthesia. Synesthesia is a mild disorder, an anomaly if you please, of the neurological pathways. Teh brainz and sensoric organs are playing a joke. What you have are cultural associations. Synesthesia is, for example, when your eyes are exposed to red light, your brain actually hears a tone, as if the inner ear has been active. That should not happen. -
Perhaps you've heard of the irrepairable damage Greenpeace has caused to the World Heritage Site of Nazca lines in Peru. Activists have entered the site of the hummingbird drawing without any foot protection and... Well a picture is worth a thousand words. Before. After. Over the past 1500 years this drawing has survived criminal colonizators and weather, only to be damaged by this "organization". http://elcomercio.pe/peru/pais/lineas-nasca-marcas-dejadas-greenpeace-son-irreparables-noticia-1777541 Comments?

Rosetta, Philae and Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
lajoswinkler replied to Vicomt's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Well not pitch black. Standing on 67P would be similar to standing on a pile of coal. Mind that the appearance of the coal, in the terms of its luminosity, depend on our eyes. They adapt, just like a digital camera does. -
Which is harder, Eve land and return, or Jool-5?
lajoswinkler replied to Norpo's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Jool-5 is absolutely a lot harder thing to do. It requires a versatile lander or several landers on a powerful tug to carry all that so far away. Even if you take into account delta v only, you can see Jool-5 challenge is a lot harder. Eve is a straightforward mission. You go there, you aerobrake, you land, you ascent and then come back. I did it with Deadly Reentry so I had to carry a big ass shield. It is very hard, but really not harder than what Jool-5 requires you to do. -
OK, fellow Kerbonauts, v0.90 is just around the corner, so let's prepare ourselves for a new survey of the Kerbol system. Prepare your probes, ships and launch vehicles, because this will be the largest survey in the history of KSP. Many new biomes have been added and everything needs to be checked and noted.

You have literally no influence on it. It's not science and education, this is "more important". Well, that was a fast launch. Too bad it was successful.

Why not? It's a spy satellite. No people inside, no science projects. Just stupid crap ordered by trigger happy sociopaths with high ranks. I want a large boom.
