Rossby waves. Bulges all over the planet.

You can make this acid if you pour a stronger acid (which isn't hard, as orthosilicic acid is a very weak one) into the solution of some alkali silicate. Grab water glass and muriatic acid from the hardware store, dillute them 1:10, and mix them. You'll get a goo. That's polymerized orthosilicic acid. If you dry it and then heat-dry it, you get SiO2 in the form of highly porous solid silica gel.

That's not the antenna, but the probe it's communicating with. THEMIS-C I think.

If you don't live in the city, and have easily accessible (not by highway or far away) wide, spacey meadows, why not? Who will see you? Honestly, why would you care about that?

No, it wouldn't. Don't exaggerate.

Stay away from ammonium nitrate. Not because of "men without sense of humor" (fu*k them), but because that's a poor rocket oxidizer. It is too reactive when the fuel sits in storage, it is highly hygroscopic and its "oomph" is pathetic when applied in rocket engines (unlike when applied in bombs, when, acting as a tertiary explosive, can do massive damage). Go for rocket candy or, if you have the money, zinc and sulfur with binder. I'd stay away from perchlorates if you have no theoretical/practical knowledge in chemistry. Also, never use metal for solid fuel engine casings.

Signal received!

DON'T do that.

Wonderful as the warm bovine titty juice mixed with slave insect semi-vomit! I present the Kristmas tree, currently in low equatorial orbit of Kerbin and soon to be planted on Mun. (basic structure by Procedural Parts, lights by KOSMOS, tinsel by NEBULA EVA handrails pack; skybox and Kerbin by Texture replacer)

Downloaded the newest version. Kerbals produce sparks when they run and touch objects. For example when they run and roll Spud capsule (even if they are on it, like a clown on a ball running), or run on a large procedural part surface. Entertaining!

Totally.

Good job!

Second engine cut out 2. Yes, Kerbin is so tiny. Don't worry, I'll keep posting images.

They're going for a negative perigee because they want to simulate reentry from high up. It's a compromise.

The whole world uses kilometres. BTW caught this few minutes ago. Gulf of Mexico.

Station means you get there to stop moving... there. It does not reflect the (non)motion of the place you're going to.

Titan II GLV (Gemini) Silvery, and nitrogen tetroxide inside.

I don't agree. There's plenty of potential places it could go wrong at high speeds.

That's what I presumed, but why is the insulation made like that? Wouldn't that be dangerous for its integrity? Remember foam damage on the Shuttle.

Launch escape system is real and will be tested. It was said on the press conference last night (UTC).

Yeah, thought so about the fire charring the organic insulation, but hey, this is too much. Just look at it.

What the hell is wrong with this rocket's appearance? Sometimes nice and clean, sometimes ugly, sometimes partially burned black. I don't suppose it's reusable and they're using beat up tanks all over again, that doesn't have sense. They end in the ocean. What is going on? :confused:

And you're wrong. The materials needed are vastly beyond out scientific understanding of materials science. It's not even about technology.
