  1. 56 back in July.... so here is my list, TV and movies.... THE INVADERS LOST IN SPACE (I had a crush on Penny) STAR TREK BATTLE STAR GALACTICA (the original witrh Lorne Greene) UFO and ...well... any Gerry Anderson made TV series VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA DOCTOR WHO (back in the 1960's versions... and the newer versions TORCHWOOD FIREFLY really..... anything Sci Fi.... it was all good....
  2. Vanamonde????? I pronounce it "he who must be obeyed" Every time.
  3. OK.... now... lets see them place jeb right up close with a camera so we can get a real close up view... Nice video, thanks for sharing.
  4. Most reactors need heat dissipaters... you can find them in the utility section of your VAB or SPH hanger. See... I forget to put the radiators on reactors some times... so, I start the reactor and it gets hot... then.. meltdown... and it stops working. Hope that helps. BTW..... these are not the mods you are looking for.... move on.... The force is strong in this one, Live long and prosper.
  5. Banned for not knowing the difference.
  6. First reply.... looks good. Might try it out.
  7. No, its not the only thing... but tell me... does NASA have ANYTHING in service now that can reach it? They rely on the Russians to supply and re-crew the I.S.S. ... and a few private resupply ventures... Truth is.... NASA has nothing anymore for a manned "service" mission... not for the next few years at any rate.
  8. Wow...... Chuck Norris needed help to make a signature.... I would have thought that all you had to do was LOOK at the forums, and the signature would have created itself out of fear....
  9. My point was... and still is, even if you missed it.... that nothing is perfect, NASA launched a flawed telescope named Hubble... had they checked the work, they might have found the flaw... but they didn't... if not for the Shuttle... it would still be imperfect today... and it would be an embarrassment to NASA even now, after all these years... But the Shuttle saved them... the flaw was forgiven when it was fixed, first via a software upgrade and then a replacement lens (or sub lens I think)... But now.... we have no Shuttle.... IF the rocket carrying the telescope makes it to orbit.... IF the equipment is perfect... IF it achieves orbit... IF it doesn't get damaged by all the junk on its way out.... Then I suppose its worth it.... but if not... there is no Shuttle to save them if the find the faulty in Earth Orbit before it leave Earth... I mean, common sense... once its in orbit they test it... like with all long distance and long term missions... and once it leave... there is no way to get it back or easily fix it (unless its software based... you can just upload)... So.... given NASA's history of embarrassing boo boos... especially with Hubble.... then this COULD be a gigantic waste of money... BUT.... I'm a fan of space... of NASA.... of KSP even.... I hope they make it... but NASA isn't perfect, sadly, unlike the Apollo years, they don't have the money to make it 100% perfect or idiot proof... worse when you consider that they still contract to the cheapest tender... and over the years, that tender process has been streamlined for cost efficiency to such an extent, that nothing is ever 100% idiot proof at NASA.... I draw you attention to one Mars pole lander that had one part made in the USA working out its landing out in feet.... and another, made in Europe, working it out in meters... there is a new crater at the North Pole of Mars now... its all that remains of this probe... But of course... they do have their successes... those photos of Pluto were stunning....
  10. Yes why not..... I think they made a mod for this, didn't they?
  11. do what you want, nothing locked, no contracts no science.... all facilities at max improvement... no research... etc etc etc etc...
  12. I only play sandpit, so do not need science. However... they could add a freak of nature.. a jelly giant... you can land on it but the landscape is always shifting, moving, collapsing... THAT would be a challenge to land on AND build a base. (I agree with you that a gas giant with rings and moons would be good though...)
  13. You do not have to be insane to play KSP, but it really helps.. If you want to find a flat spot on the Mun to build a base, then build a cheap one way rocket but use I-frames to spread the legs wide apart, so if you land on a crater wall, chances are you will not tip over... once you find a flat spot... build a normal lander with all the bells and whistles... my way might be harder, but it reflects the true nature of space exploration. Lastly.... for all the most dangerous missions.... send Jeb... if he dies, no big loss and everyone else (especially Val) can rest easier.. have a nice day!
  14. Congrats.. Way back in .90, I built a plane capable of a non stop flight around Kerbin... Your plane looks good, another milestone for all Kerbal kind.
  15. Granted, but she is super bossy! I wish Jeb kerman would vanish forever!
  16. I meant a detailed map... not the whole face of the Mun... but a 10k by 10 section of it so you can viable landing spots... even with that map of ScanSat... its still hit and miss...
  17. Oh, OK, well, then I cannot help, good luck anyhow.
  18. I'd possibly call it a waste of time... mainly because without the Shuttle, its not going to be easy to service or repair... remember the fiasco with the bad lens in Hubble?
  19. Welcome. Read my signature for the best advice going.... as for tips.... keep Jeb well away from anything that goes "up".
  20. They do not directly access the game, but the game accesses the decals, so no matter the version, they will work. Mine (the RNZAF Kiwi) is from .90 but still works on 1.1.3 If you wanted to add your own, just drop it into the folder provided you use the dimensions of the existing ones and the format... (png I think)
  21. KSC meets KFC, I like it... sending chooks into space... with the 7 secret ingredients... which are... Metal, Fuel, Electricity, Flashing Lights, Guts, Luck and finally..... Jeb!
  22. I was thinking of this ages ago, scan sat is nice, but a radar terrain mapping device so you could suss out the flat areas to land on....
  23. I suggest we give every single man a girl friend... and every married man one as well.... I'd alter all the women to have impossible bust measurements... I'd give every man a crate of beer once a day..... and for the ladies.... a box of non fattening chocolates....
  24. Hard to say.... it opens port 80 and makes your router allow any incoming connections from the internet... I used to run a website from one of my computers so some people could contact me easier... the router I had explained it all, however, since then, I had destroyed about 5 routers from over use... Google it would be your best bet, both for your router name and model number and just "how to make my router DMZ" might help.
  25. Best thing that has happened to Jeb since sliced bread... I suggest the game devs add a "kill Jeb" button... make all our lives easier.!
