Conics because of this.

I've never seen anyone doing something like this. Very interesting!

Slender: The Arrival is 2.99 €.

Indeed.

Mission control gave a go for first two burns of the third stage left over from the rocket that brought the empty propulsion unit into orbit. Valentina took this photo of Jebediah having a sentimental moment (or just thinking about snacks) while Kerty was managing the thrusting. Third stage dumped, fission reactor for electricity production shut down and three LV-NB engines started. Kron 4 will do a series of burns to reach second cosmic speed.

I think twice, maaaybe three times. Perhaps the thing really exists somewhere on Mun, who knows.

Let the engine create lots of heat, but then add radiators.

Oh wow. One or two kids on the planet will see this and get offended. Oh. Think of the children!

LV-N is awesome but requires a heatsink connected to radiators. Luckily, there is the Heat Control mod for all that. I hope it will become a stock feature.

LOL I give up.

I knew I shouldn't had deleted the "full spectrum" part. Not only can near infrared images don't have to have one channel, but also VIS images can be extended with them, so colors obviously shift. In photography jargon that's also sometimes called infrared. That, plus corrections and boosting the saturation makes the wackyland images of Mars we usually get. I suppose you think this is what Mars actually looks like. LOL

Of course I'm right. Any photo of Mars where bluish colors are visible is a false color one. That's why sometimes you see blue, deep green rocks, sometimes blue sky. Using true colors (true color is an arbitrary term obviously, meaning what human eye sees in noted conditions) Mars is rusty, peach reddish desert. Examples. False colored and with elevated saturation over some channels.

You're using popular science sources and Wikipedia, which is notorious for someone's opinions becoming the media-infecting "truth". If we're gonna use your definition of atmosphere, then ALL planetary bodies and everything has an atmosphere because everything in this universe gives off gas, no matter how tiny amounts. Even few hundred metres asteroids. Toolbag one astronaut lost during EVA on ISS had an atmosphere. Hell, even ISS has atmosphere, then. So where's the limit? Definitions are used to give meaning to the stuff that makes up this world. Your definition is meaningless because it does not offer distinguishable differences, therefore no informations. Mercury has no atmosphere. It has traces of outgassing that does not behave like a real gas (infinitesimally small probability of particle interactions), it is not stratified, and constantly seeps away, just like suitcases, teapots, tiny asteroids and space probes have.

That's not fog. It's a probably a near infrared image, obviously false colored. There are no bluish areas on Mars. It's all false colored infrared. Conditions on Mars allow for brief occurences of muddy, concentrated brine coming close to surface in the lowest parts of the planet surface, burping a bit and evaporating, leaving a salt-mud residue. That's all.

Laws on that have many steps and conditions (for example imminent, life threatening danger, and "protecting your bike" are two very different things) so it's not a simple topic. But be sure that if someone is stealing your bike and you shoot him with intent of killing the person (in the head or very vital areas) will get you the maximum prison sentence pretty much everywhere because you've attempted and succeeded in a cold blooded murder.

There's Bridge It Plus on sale. http://store.steampowered.com/app/248370/?snr=1_5_9__205

I think it existed in the earlier version, too. I've tested it for pretty brutal reentries and there weren't any problems, but it doesn't look right. Sometimes I think it might cause the parachute parts to burn up.

I went there on foot after getting off at Flora metro station where IMAX cinema is. I did not know I could've used the metro to reach Jiřího z Poděbrad. I was exhausted cause of the hurry. As you can see here, it's not close.

Photographs are here. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/cassini-sends-back-views-after-zooming-past-dione Unprocessed selection of nicer images. http://www.ciclops.org/view_event/212/DIONE-REV-217-RAW-PREVIEW?js=1 Raw deposit of all transmitted images. http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/index.cfm Seems that most images are taken through CL1 and CL2 filters. Those are clear filters, which means these images are "full spectrum", meaning a some UV, all visible and some infrared. They are monochrome.

There's one issue with the capsule's heatshield. When added (I use DRE) in VAB, center of mass does not shift laterally, but during reentry it causes the craft to dangerously shift away from retrograde marker. It's permanent and seems to be random regarding the angle direction. Why is that?

I've been up there. Great view both from the foundation and from the top. The babies are an ugly addon that became permanent. The building itself is very modern looking, but older people usually don't like it because it reminds them of totalitarism in the past.

Oh, I miss Prague.

Surge protectors are not supposed to absorb lightning strikes. Their purpose is to level out voltage fluctuations that sometimes appear during storms. There isn't anything we know that can safely absorb a lightning strike. Its energy is not great, but the time in which it's delivered is extremely short so the power is enormous. You either conduct it into Earth or watch as something explodes as it suddenly heats up to fantastic temperatures.
