    I'm pretty sure Ultima Thule looks like a big sheep turd, so the team was very fast to pronounce it red and snowy and cute like a snowman.

    Folks, remember that this "red" they're talking about is not our red. It's "it has prominent red spectral lines". (and they always forget that public is not composed out of geologists and that they should adapt to this situation instead of introducing errors like they did with Pluto's image) Remember Charon's pole? Left is true color, left is New Horizon's team's "enhanced". Ultima Thule is not obviously red. It's brownish and quite dark, plus the light there is something like our moonlight. I'll say like chernozem.

    Yeah, I miss it. It should really be a stock graphic option.

    Thanks for this. It was a thing we needed. Something with fixed point in time.

    Thanks for keeping this live. I honestly don't understand why it's still not a stock thing. I use it primarily for its inline parachute.

    Still works for me in latest version.

    Could heat be transfered by quantum entanglement? It would be an interesting new mode of heat transfer occuring at unlimited distance. There is no way I could do any mathematics of this, but I know there are a lot of smarter people here.

    Only the lightest flat parts. But there was plenty of thick material torn away. I suppose it's kevlar or something. Still very stupid to produce so much debris. They were also endangering themselves with potential of piercing the suit, and still are because they're dangling around. All because of one tiny hole.

    It's not just mylar. There's more, and there's a lot of small stuff. Where did you get the "week or two" value from? That seems really off.

    Who the hell thought this insulation massacre was a good idea? Does anyone see how much orbital debris this is creating? They already made few thousands particles, largest of them being big as notebooks. I know they're harmless for ISS and that they will deorbit in few months, but what about stuff passing through the orbital layer like geostationary transfer orbits, or any other artificial satellites (and other large debris) passing through it? Roskosmos is doing this without proper justification. This is insanity. I'll try to observe ISS the next few days, those large sheets of Mylar spinning next to the station might be visible as glinting.

    I was exiting it by pressing the key that cycles through cameras. Target was not selected (after docking, nothing is targeted anymore). However, I've found the solution. Simply going to map view, setting something else as target, then unsetting it, removes the text. Sorry, I don't have the save file, it's been a few days. But I think this is resolved now, at least for me.

    Here's an entertaining thought... We can assume the first stage was spinning so rapidly it almost disassembled itself. There's probably plenty of damage from the spin alone.

    We've got "ignition". https://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Operations/BepiColombo_now_firing_on_all_cylinders

    I'm just going to put this here.

    I think it's even wackier hypothetical solution than dark matter itself. These things are just fancy way of saying: "Let's invent a particle to fit with what we don't know". If I had a coin for every time a physicist did this, I'd have a lot of coins.

    For example I'm preparing to start with docking and I press the key to engage/flip through cameras (if there's lots of docking ports, it can take a while to go through all of them). The image is normally gray with the targeting cross, and there's textual data as seen here. However, when I exit the camera view, text is still there, although the cross isn't, and the image is not grayscale anymore. What could be causing this? It's not really grinding my gears, but it's a nuisance.
  17. lajoswinkler
    I've noticed the latest version has an issue with the docking white text remaining on screen after returning to normal view. It goes away if you go to space center, tracking station, or change to an unloaded vessel.

    This was the best I could do with my 5 Mpx camera. The view with naked eye was so much better.
  19. lajoswinkler
    Almost spilled my drink over this. LOL

    It's for pushing around heavy stuff in space. Not even 2.5 m stuff, unless they're substantially heavier than usual. 3.75 m and above, works like a charm.

    Good thing to know that the reverse Spanish thing is a myth. They speak gibberish with some words resembling typical Romanic language. Source: I inverted the sound of many KSP trailers and found nothing intelligible.

    Let's see how many rivers are from each of your own country, that have unusual names that could be used in original (or Kerbalized) variety on Kerbin. From Croatia, I nominate: Kupa, Krka, Mura, Ombla, Gacka.

    Excellent landing. Better quality image, correctly white balanced.
  24. lajoswinkler
    No, this is certainly not about adding more biomes. No need for that mess and it's indeed a mess. This is just about naming rivers and their systems. LOL
  25. lajoswinkler
    I've added larger, detailed maps, from 1 to 8. Remember, this is abour rivers and their drainage systems (take a look at #1 - there's too many tributaries to bother about right now).
