  1. One of the boulders in higher resolution. http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2014/10/Boulder_Cheops Don't be fooled by the "smooth surface". It might be quite rough.
  2. Why is that? I use this mod because it gives me an opportunity to make nice ships and stations. I was tired of them looking like they were made out of barrels from the city dump.
  3. Delta-v meter and TWR meter, as in Kerbal Engineer Redux, would be most helpful, too.
  4. - Reentry heating and shields, because it's simply not right to end your Jool mission by jumping from interplanetary space into your chair in front of the VAB without consequences. - More realistic parachute action, because the current ones can be freely replaced with the ground stopping you. There's no difference. Neck snapping action should stop. - Resolving ancient issues with planetary bodies. - A skybox with a lot more quality. This one is appaling, low quality and not spacey. - Distinctive one component fuel for LV-N.
  5. Has anyone tried this on v0.25?
  6. Banana for Scale works in v0.25 Even better, now that you can see the science messages in sandbox mode, I finally saw the funny ones from this mod.
  7. KOSMOS works for me. I didn't check out the docking stuff. That rarely worked so I don't bother. Engines and solar panels are what's important.
  8. You can't determine which material is more reflective from this image, because you see one photo of several surfaces under different angles. Some surfaces are in shadow. Also, it's highly overexposed so you see coal black as ash gray. We do know, however, that the temperature of the surface is higher than expected. Regarding the boulders, each of these prominent ones are the size of a 3-4 storey building. Like a mall or a smaller museum.
  9. 19 km (soon to be 10 km) distance, 1.45 m/px. http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/10/08/cometwatch-focus-on-the-neck/
  10. Wait, my KSC doesn't look like that, and there are no trees, despite the fact I'm using high settings. I do agree with you, but be patient. Why is the black paint so problematic? It looks elegant.
  11. Literally everything at KSC is made of ammonium perchlorate.
  12. Actually, yes, people do argue about that. Some of them used to say that 20 years ago, but now say the civilization is not to blaim. They've changed their opinions and they will to it once more. It's inevitable. First of all, those are not skeptics. Skeptics are open to ideas and use scientific method to find the best answer. A skeptic is not a kind of solipsist. He does not say "I can't know" or "it's impossible to know" and certainly not "I don't know, therefore X", where X is someone's opinion based on feelings. Your first question is mute because you obviously don't understand the difference between weather and climate. Learn that, first. 2nd question - the correlation is very strong and the observed increase in average global temperature is unprecedented in the geological history. Never did Earth experience such insanely fast speed of warming up. Not in earlier eras and epochs and certainly not in the medieval ages. I have absolutely no idea if this can be stopped, but I don't see the harm of trying. USA, Russia and China are releasing enormous quantities of CO2 and CH4. There's no need for that. My advice to the US education system is to stop with "debate clubs". Raising young people in the environment where form is glorified over essence is wrong and contributes to what you're saying. The society as a whole thinks everything is debatable, which is a direct path to destruction.
  13. I can not believe anyone on a KSP forum who visits "The Science Labs" has so little brain matter in the skull that leads him to claim the measured phenomenon doesn't exist. It's almost equal to evolution deniers. Today we've got not only a measured thing, but also a total consensus that we're the ones to blame for the situation. Saying the phenomenon doesn't exist is ridiculous.
  14. This discussion reminds me of any generic religious discussion between a believer and nonbeliever. It's basically pointless.
  15. That's exactly what I was thinking about. Well done! Too bad it detached, but for the most part, it looks incredible!
  16. We can see the ship better in this image. 4 sets of engines right there. I know, but we'll have to wait. Remember "Gravity"? Nobody knew what the plot was gonna be, but it turned out great.
  17. Dressage is a stupid crappy "discipline" that should be banned from the Olympics. It's not horce racing. It's a horse doing pretty dances. WTF? Did you know they are going to ban Greek wrestling? It's one of the cores of the Olympics. A display of strength and dexterity. A proper sport. Everyone knows the Olympics are becoming increasingly stupid and corrupted. No secrets there. Any disciplines where people are deliberately getting hurt is not an actual sport, anyway. The sole reason they've been pushed into this domain is because boxing made it first by English corrupted lobbying a long time ago and it was a slippery slope. I have the utmost respect for martial arts such as karate, judo, etc, but they're a show of skills. Strict rules. You don't hurt people in karate. But when people fight and hit each other? That's not sports. That's fighting. Call it something else. I'm disgusted by the stuff Japan has presented to the world recently, with criminal assholes bashing the crap out of each other, all bloody. That's not sports. Thing where you hurt others, that's not in the Olympic or sports spirit. Maybe one day people will understand it.
  18. Noomatae 3 is in Tylo's strict polar orbit, accurate to the last decimal in KER mod. It took at least 5 burns at Kerbin's 75 km periapsis to swing barely 1 km above Mun's surface and be ejected out of the SOI. First set of tanks was spent quite quickly. Before aerobraking was done, Bob had to check the integrity of the ship. Aerobraking at 125 km was flawless. Upon jettisoning the shield, the ship gained extra delta-v capabilities. Tylo immediately offered a window for highly inclined orbit insertion. Bob had to do some checkups safely shielded behind the radiation shield. NERVA engines are scary after firing.
  19. ProÄÂaÄÂkaj malo po postavkama grafiÄÂke kartice. Možda smeta neki detalj. Ako koristiÅ¡ modove, makni ih sve, a onda vraćaj jedan po jedan. Kad poÄÂnu problemi, znat ćeÅ¡ koji je zaslužan za njih. Meni je cijena na lanjskoj rujanskoj rasprodaji bila 13.19 €. Trenutno je 24.99 €. Mislim da zna biti i veći popust. Cijena će rasti kako ju Squad bude razvijao, tako da je bolje ugrabiti je dok je u fazi rane objave. KupiÅ¡ je jednom i tvoja je zauvijek.
  20. Thanks. I hope it will help with the project which is not exactly going anywhere yet.
  21. Asteroids - shards and lumps, planetoids - Ceres, Pluto and alike. It fits quite nicely. In case you're not joking, asteroids are named like that because once upon a time people didn't know what they were. Too tiny to be planets, they optically behaved just like stars, bumpy points in telescopes. Hence "star-like". The only passion I see is "for Pluto as a planet, without arguments and with lots of feelings" and "reason".
  22. It seems that "Gravity" really simulated it well.
  23. Yeah, what ever happened with the word "planetoid"? It represents a planet-like object. Pluto, Eris, Sedna, Ceres, Makemake and others suit that name perfectly.
