I'd seriously avoid NaturalNews. They're poopyheads (I can't use extreme profanities here). Ton of BS on that site. Gluten is bad for people who are allergic to gluten, and that's few percent of the population. It's a perfectly normal protein. It's food. Pawelk198604, try to lay outside in the shade (don't roast on the sun without sunscreen) and just experience the day for a few hours, and then 2 hours before you want to go to bed, don't watch TV and don't use your computer. Install blue light reducing application on your phone. Avoid coolwhite fluorescent light. I'm saying all that because it's clear you're watching too much blue light before you go to bed, and probably not too much during the day. It disrupts melatonin secretion which ends with insomnia. It's a common case with gamers.

It's similar to a small child. No, I don't think she's capable of having the full sense of self awareness as an adult human being. She probably has a weak degree of such notion, though, just like kids have. I highly doubt she could learn other adult gorillas sign language or pretty much anything. She could raise smart ones, though. It's like with feral children. If they miss everything in the first five years, they're ruined for life. Brain gets "cemented". Koko is a precious being that forces us to think more about ourselves.

I agree. More sound effects and more Kerbal reactions. It's the same with 32-bit version. I guess they've added it. I'm not very fond of such setting, but I won't complain. 64-bit version seems to be working with less fps for me on the same level of details so I run 32-bit.

Talk about desecration...

How many new parts have been added? I saw two. Liquid fuel RCS-like somethings...

That is true, however I don't see anyone ever mentioning they saw a missile. I was watching CNN few hours after it had happened and they were careful about such statements. Only the yellow press and officials of two countries are honking "missile!" like mad. I was also watching an interview with some military-something-expert and he said the chances of this being a missile fired from the ground is very, very small. First of all, nobody saw it, second, the radar beacon of civilian airplanes is visible to any equipment capable of striking it, and third, nobody has profit from such act. I'll stick with the bomb scenario because it's the most probable thing. When I see evidence for the missile, I'll accept it. ps: I agree with the moderation, let's not turn this into political thread. The attack is shameful and sad, but let's discuss the actual details and not politics.

He's my intimate friend. NSFW, so let's not get into details.

Oh, ok then. If I take a photo of a man dressed in Goofy, or a Goofy figurine being lit on fire by a torch lamp, and I make money out of it (even if it's profit for me, though this Jeb thing is non-profit), it's at least fair use. If I make a short movie in which Goofy is used as a Disney character, without it being parodied or turned into an art, and I make money on it, then I'm breaking the law. I don't need a lawyer for something so basic. Equivalent thing would be if I make an icecream brand with Jeb's face on it and title "Kerbal-cream". You have a very narrow and wrong look on the copyright issues. If things were as you describe, this would would be a very different place. Almost all of YouTube would be breaking the law, just to mention that site.

If it was a missile, people would've seen it climbing into the air, and they'd see it collide with the airplane. Explosion would occur, and a lot of smoke would linger up there. Eyewitnesses report seeing the plane breaking up into two pieces and then it all fell on the ground where it created a fireball. This looks more like there was a bomb inside the plane. Once the structural integrity of the aluminium tube planes are made of is severely compromised, aerodynamic properties are lost the the vehicle tears apart. It has happened numerous times during the history of terrorist attacks. I'd like to know where is the evidence of a missile. I don't see it, and you can't hide something like that. I'm actually baffled because nobody is questioning this.

It's probably He-3.

Is there a better way? I often verify the integrity of game cache and sometimes a number of files is updated, which is useful. I've checked it out. Steam runs the 32-bit version. I've launched it using the Launcher, previously turning on 64-bit option, and it works, but FPS seems to drop. The movement isn't smooth. I've even turned on AMD compatibility option.

OK, so I've played it for a few hours. I love it. It finally has some gameplay sense. Some things are tricky, like testing boosters at exact heights and speeds while still not having all parts. I've saved that orbiting Kerbal and the contracts keep coming like mad. One thing I'd really like to be finally changed is the awful skybox which looks like a rainy, cloudy sky. It's a 15 minute job. No coding, just image editing. We've been asking for this since who knows when and it's still bad. Anyway, great job, Squad. You've made stock KSP fun again and I kind of feel like in the early days.

Really? You'd design something people design for months or even years in their garages, and then launch a system using an enormous balloon (because it's heavy) carrying a system that launches a rocket which corrects its attitude, basically a guided missile, that would deploy a Kerbal on a stick in front of a camera in suborbital trajectory, while something is somehow managing to stop the violent spinning that would tear the whole thing into pieces, destroying and losing an expensive 3D printed figurine, a GoPro camera and a data probe in the process, dispersing it over hundreds of square kilometres. That's exactly what would happen. Why so much complications? A weather balloon will reach approx. 35 km. The sky is black at that height. Visual difference between 35 and 100 km is such that a change in camera lenses would be more dramatic. There's absolutely no need for a rocket. A balloon probe is complicated enough. People, be serious. Don't derail the thread with nonsense.

I didn't want to open a new thread, so here's somewhat related post. Have you seen the changes on Flightradar? http://www.flightradar24.com Check out Europe, you'll understand immediately.

Yeah. Witches and evil spirits are trying to stop you from posting a video of you playing KSP.

Screw this, I'm removing all mods. Something will go wrong if I don't.

This will be interesting. Kethane is supposedly broken, but Kerbin has a kethane map all over it. Too bad for the Procedural Parts mod. It was quite important to me. Well, as long as that ugly skybox is still replaced with a moded one, it'd ok. Now to check more stuff.

Steam wants to restart itself because of its own update while it's downloading KSP. How ironic.

First it was "update queued", but that was after I closed KSP (I was playing it when my phone notified me of update). After I restarted Steam, update started. It's at 7% now, going faster than 500 kbps.

I don't think copyright rules apply for this. It's a non-profit thing. Even if it is, it can't be applicable, otherwise photography as a job couldn't survive. Almost everything around us contains something copyrighted. If I take a photo of a car and sell the photo, will the car company have legal rights to to anything about it? No. I would contact Squad, but I'd ask them for help when the projects starts being more serious. Until then, we have to choose: Indiegogo or Kickstarter. Both of them are good crowdsourcing places.

That photo was made in 1981, which is obvious when you look at their clothes.

Seems I got disinformed. I went to forbes.com and found this: Only users from the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom may create projects, though anyone may donate. http://www.forbes.com/sites/chancebarnett/2013/09/09/donation-based-crowdfunding-sites-kickstarter-vs-indiegogo/ People, be sure to read the article before voting for Kickstarter or Indiegogo.

Meteorological stations are civilian things (as is police, hospitals, etc). They use hydrogen. It is cheap and perfectly safe unless you're reckless. You don't really think they'd use helium every day? They release radiosondes every day, and there are a couple of stations in a small country. It would be very expensive to waste precious cubic metres of helium every day. The balloon we're planning to release would be a real weather balloon, probably latex. Saying it's "designed for helium" is a disinformation. As I've learned, Kickstarter doesn't let funding from anyone on Earth. It's basically an USA thing. Why limiting ourselves to one country? Starting a funding campaign is a serious thing and I think we should ensure the best option. Don't rush this or it will surely fail. One more thing - those crowdfunding projects have conditions. For example, if someone donates 10 instead of 5 $, he gets something, etc. Does anyone have any idea about what we could do?

Aghanim, Arduino or Raspberry Pi, whatever is more cost effective. NASAFanboy, helium is extremely expensive compared to hydrogen, and the danger of hydrogen is overhyped. Weather balloons are filled with it on a daily basis.
