  1. I envision the popular motto: "Add moar boosters".... and something that looks like it came out from under Whackjob's bed. Bussard Ramjet, anyone?
  2. Yes, it would be very weird. But is it possible? And why is it that if you multiply any number in any other base by the "base number" gives you the number in base ten? (4 remainder 2 base 13 *13 = 54 base ten)
  3. So here's an interesting fact. At 0.9999999 % the speed of light, over a distance of 42 light years, it takes just over 42 years for someone watching you to see you land. But it takes you 4.8 hours to get there. You are offset in time by quite a large amount. Now, this is assuming you can accelerate instantaneously to that speed and just as instantaneously decelerate. But it demonstrates this thing called "Time Dilation". And I figured out that if you did go at the speed of light, time for you would literally stop. Zip, nada, zero. So you would be stuck forever at the speed of light, since any ship computers would also be going at the speed of light and would stop. In layman's terms: You're screwed. This could be used as time travel. Since time is entirely relative, you would only age 4.8 hours every 42 years at this speed. And this is exponential. The closer and closer you get to lightspeed the slower you age.
  4. Here's another idea we had. Is it possible to have a decimal/fraction base? Like base 5/6'ths? Or base 25.2?
  5. Banned for heresy. The fourth wall must not be knownst by the general public!
  6. The most common answer would be, of course, 54. But in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the answer is 42. Why? I was bored and my friend and I looked this up. It turns out that in base thirteen 5 * 9 = 42. 5*9 = 54 / 13 = 4 remainder 2, or 42. So there you go.
  7. 'Allo there! Looks promising, keep it up.
  8. I... don't exactly lurk on forums... what do you call not posting even when you do have an account? Hello there, Abort.
  9. Banned for exploding crappy spaceplanes.
  10. Yes, stay... And by that we mean the utter absorption of your life into KSP's mainframe we hope you enjoy it.

    Carbon dating? Wow, I didn't see the above post. Damn.
  12. ...And your brand new space station that took you weeks to complete....
  13. 8/10... It's getting monotonous now. UPDATE ALL THE THINGS! And the red-blue letters are not of my design. It's the company I am enlisted in.

    Machines in general, or cranes being more specific?
  15. Step 1: Don't. Step 2: If you must, build an SLS with a probe with about 5 poodles Step 3: Claw in Kerbin orbit and burn like there's no tomorrow. Step 4: Go and change your underwear. Step 5: Dock a pusher to it. Push it to Minmus. Step 6: Go nuts.
  16. Oooh, shots fired! Banned for using invisible te- wait. Damn, I just banned myself for hypocrisy. Banned for making me ban myself for hypocrisy.
  17. You know, the bit with the "end of the Mayan calender" was rather ridiculous. All it meant was that they were going to need a new calender. It's like reaching "December 31st" on the little paper one on the wall and expecting the end of the Universe.
  18. I legitimately buy my hill back. My hill
  19. Banned for banning the one who banned my banned big missile.
  20. Holy Kraken, that thing is cool. And what is the animation going to look like, I wonder? Because that looks like a "Deployed" mode.
  21. Banned for being in the same country as I, where tanks are indeed tanks. (And it did have weapons at one point. Biiiiig missiles that would go supersonic and hit buildings.)
