I've just heard. Sad news, he was a likable actor in the reboot I didn't like.

It's not very true to Polandball meme.

Exactly.

There's some truth to it, too.

No, the last time it was noteworthy was in the 90s with Cassini. Like, almost nobody cares nowdays because the society is kind of tired of hippie crap.

There is po "political baggage" of nuclear fission when it comes to rocket propulsion. It's all about the difficulties of blocking the ionizing rays which shine upon anything in vicinity.

Question of concept of existence is a philosophical question, not a religious one. Religion merely offers instant, but not falsifiable and unverifiable answer. Philosophy is all about asking questions. I highly doubt dolphins ask themselves such questions because they're basically the pinnacle of abstract reasoning. They're comparable to mentally retarded young humans, but with serious physical skills. Even if some of them ever have a spark of "who am I" thought, it would be extremely rare and quickly obscured by "hee hee, fishes, yum fishes!", but their brain development would not suggest such thing. At best, I think they're sometimes capable of asking "why", such as "why did you eat the fish? I am hungry, I want to eat the fish!". Don't be fooled by the crap film industry shoves down our throats with montaged, misinterpreted footages of dolphins combined with Enya moaning.

Unless the computer is doing nothing, or something rudimentary and simple all the time, yes. Otherwise, every now and then.

This one is loads of fun.

Probiotics during the antibiotic therapy, and after it.

Earth moves around the Sun on a line called cycloid because of the reasone explained in previous posts.

This and million times this. Best educational cartoon ever.

Heat is energy, but it can not exist on its own. Energy is carried by particles/fields (yes, photons aren't energy, they merely carry it). You could heat up a bunch of stuff and then expell it out like NERVA engine does...

These things take years. Be patient. You can play KSP, right?

There is no reason for it to be wet. It would dry up in no time cause it's too small. We're probably looking at a very old (in human history time spans), but also very young (geologically) thing. It's lobate everywhere. Edge, surface, top. Dry powder will not do that. And if we consider erosion, eolic erosion would wipe the whole damn thing in no time, not just jagged edges left after dry powder slide. For this to survive long enough, it would have to be reinforced with salts which is exactly what's left after an insoluble solid wet with a solution of soluble solid gets dry.

Powders flow differently. Suddenly and with jagged, concave surfaces at the top of the flow. This has all the lobate appearance of a mud flow.

The scale is too tiny, I'd say this is probably ancient perchlorate/sulfate mud burp.

Venusian surface is not corrosive. Upper atmosphere is. It's extremely poor in water and extremely hypertonic due to sulfuric acid aerosol. There is really nothing imaginable capable of functioning anywhere on Venus.

No, it's not aging, it's just good taste. Oh, and let me just add, to those reasons I've mentioned above - weird, unnatural, skewed colors of the picture.

I don't like it. I don't like the reboots, they suck ass. They're all made for the generation of people which isn't capable of perceiving or enduring a movie that doesn't have those annoying HOOOONK sounds, maniacal camera moves, overly dramatic acting, lots of huge things crashing and exploding, etc. The reboot is basically ignoring the crucial part of Star Trek best described in TOS and TNG and that is exploration and science fiction, and replaces it with tedious fantasy and politics. Screw that crap.

We already have a KSP group on SETI's servers. Feel free to join, it's the only one, AFAIK. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=163425

It seems you don't know how orbiting works. Unless we're talking about extremes such as degenerate matter stars or black holes, gravity fields can't be perceptible in orbits because the gradient of the field is incredibly small. You're falling around the object - all of your particles are doing the same. Whether you orbit Jupiter or a comet, you don't feel anything - you're weightless. In certain cases, when the object you orbit is dense and sufficiently small (Earth, for example), orbiting low enough exibits observable microgravity which arises from the fact differently positioned objects orbit at different speeds. Lower ones go faster, higher ones go slower. If they are connected by a tether or one inside another, a force between them will occur. That's why free floating stuff in ISS sticks to the walls after a couple of hours. In case of sufficient proximity to black holes (happens to be inside event horizon for enormous ones), this effect is so strong that it eventually rips everything apart, even nuclei, as matter spirals toward the center. Therefore Kerbals' health wouldn't change depending on where they orbit. It would decay the same. But I love the idea of health decay in microgravity.

I've seen something like that over at spacedock.info.

You know when you install lots of mods and you want to prune them (remove unwanted parts) because you need only some of their parts, but then you mess something up because you delete wrong files and your mod doesn't work, your game crashes, etc. That is especially frustrating when the part's file name(s) aren't recognizable and you end up deleting something you don't want. A very common issue. I propose either an external program, or a plugin that enables you to delete parts from the game itself (now, I know literal application of this might not work because they're loaded, but it could at least mark them or hide them from the part list.) Anyway, something could be done to facilitate pruning which is essential when you mod your game and don't want to end up with enormous GameData folder. Same should work for stock parts. Some of them I never ever use and they just clog up the working area. Maybe someone proposed this earlier, I don't really know.

Sorry if I sound stupid, but where are those new parts? I don't see them.
