Diiiiid someone say "docking"? Link in my signature, go check out the tutorial I made.

With your fingers. What are fingers?

*punch you in the groin* Mine.

Well, then. How about... peace? Total peace. Or, alchemy.

I've been thinking of an amazing design for a refuel station. I'll call it cartridge refueling. You make a "cartridge" out of 2 Rockomax X200-32's, a RGU, and a little tiny bit of RCS. Then, you design a "holder" that fits the cartridge precisely. Put the holder on your station. Dock the cartridge inside. You can then transfer from the cartridge to your ship. When the cartridge is out, simply undock and put in a new one, deorbiting the old. EDIT: This is not just sticking a fuel tank to your station. The thing the cartridge goes into is 3-dimensional, shaped kinda like a cylinder.

*tink* Well, that worked well. I attempt to kick the next poster.

"eleven Kerbals have died" Totally acceptable ratio, 11:1.

Here, I'll put it up again. Well, let's see... if the edge of the Universe was closest so far, how about time travel or something?

Of all the... Can you leave the hill/planet/galaxy/universe alone for more than 2 posts?! I launch unguided SRB's at you. They miss. Still your hill.

I throw water all over your ASHPD. As you are not supposed to "submerge The Device in water, even partially," the Unspeakable happens.

As it was raining today, you got soaked because you have no shelter. When it stops raining, I use a quadcopter to drop pure sodium all over you. It explodes and you are horribly maimed. The hill is transferred to me.

Check this out. I think you are experiencing a "gyro kraken", as you say that the ship was spinning violently. http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Deep_Space_Kraken

Well, I'll do the air-cleaning thing. That seems like it would help. Let me tell you a little something, though; the Asus X401A is stupid. There are about 15 screws in the back, which you take out. Then you take out the battery, right? More screws. Take them out. And then you open up the monitor, put your fingers in the crack of the hinge, and you take off the entire keyboard/touchpad arrangement. The battery has 2 latches, one on each side. One of them is like a switch; it moves from one side to the other and stays there. The other is springloaded. I think the switch one broke. I... wait, I'm plugged in One sec... Yep, it's the switch one. The thing that extends and grabs the battery is now inside the laptop. When I clean it, I'll try to superglue it back on and fix it.

Seems as if my laptop is going the way of the Whackjob. I can't put it to sleep anymore; it will never wake up. And if I try to play KSP on it, it goes "CLICK" after a few minutes and "shuts down" (stops working). That's the overheat signal. I think the damn thing is just up and dying on me. Even though it is a Pentium processor, it can run KSP at around 30 FPS, and I'm sad to see it going. (By all definitions of a "gaming laptop", it fails every time) It's also physically falling apart. The battery latch recently broke, and if you merely *tap* the battery it can shift and lose power. Basically, it sucks. Oh well. At least I still have the old home desktop. (Which isn't half bad: half-graphics at 40-ish FPS.)

But time is entirely relative. I fly to the nearest black hole and orbit at near the speed of light for a few years in my time. Coming back to Earth, everyone there is dead because it has been a million years since I left. I claim the hill. My hill.

Neither does yours.... 2/10

Creation? (Like the Big Bang?)

No, shoot, that was me. One mo, I'll recheck my calculations. Ok, so: 11.76 = ((6.67 x 10^-11)(7.5113967x10^24)) / r^2 11.76r^2 = 5.010101599 x 10^14 r^2 = 4.260290475 x 10^13 r = 6527090.068 (meters) r = 6527.09 (Km) which means diameter = 13054.18 Km That's pretty damn close to the 13080 Km that I had originally! Huzzah! Now density. D = M/V V = (4/3)pi radius(meters)^3 = 1.164789408 x 10^21 m^3 M / V = 6448.716524 Kg/m^3 It works again!

The end of the Universe? (Big Crunch, for example?)

So I've been creating a realistic solar system for something I'm writing. I thought I had created a decent planet like Earth, but once again my calculations were off and it had a g-force higher than that of Jupiter. As I emailed my friend: " just rechecked some calculations, and Aurrera is so effed up it isn't even funny. With that density and the radius, it would have a g-force higher than that of Jupiter. And if I kept the original g-force and density, it would have to be approximately 610,000 Km in diameter, or 52.63 times larger than Earth. So I need to rethink this. If we were to keep the radius and g-force, the density would be 2145.329 Kg/m^3, but that's about 2x less dense than the Earth. SO COMPLICATED!!! Well, let's see. If D = M/V, then 6442.951 = M / V And if M = 7.54113967 x 10^24, then 6442.951 * V = 7.5113967 x 10^24 Which gives V = 1.170448087 x 10^21 And if V = 4(pi)(radius^2) (1.170448087 x 10^21) / 4(pi) = radius^2 9.192677776 x 10^20 = radius^2 3.031942904 x 10^10 = radius (m) dividing by 1000 to give Km gives us 30319429.04 Km radius I'm so friggin' lost it's painful..." Any help? I still want that density and a reasonable g-force, but I think I'm going to have to have a different diameter. Here's the equation for g force in m/s^2: g = GM / r^2 where g is the gravity of the planet at the surface in m/s^2 G is the gravitational constant: 6.67x10^-11 M is the mass of the planet/object in kg, and r is the distance from the body (radius) in m EDIT: The density I wanted was 6442.951 Kg/m^3, since the planet would be rich in heavy materials like metals. The g-force should be between 0.9 g's (8.838 m/s^2) and 1.5 g's (14.73 m/s^2)

The speed of light?

Yes, but you were ninja'd, sir. Lord_Potato's turn.
