  1. With assumed implications (or is that implied assumptions...?) like that, you should be a screenwriter!
  2. Step 21: Build a massive rocket, then put it on the pad and press 'space'. Watch it fall on and destroy the launchpad because the engines weren't staged to ignite when the launch clamps release,
  3. My reaction to that is like "518 KM/s!!!?!" in a disbelieving tone very similar to Doc Brown saying "One point twenty-one Jiggawatts!!!?!"
  4. Cell Division:
  5. Did you just coin a new word there? I like it!
  6. Yep, I remember Pong on the ol' B&W TV. A 'TelStar' console IIRC. Did yours have 'hockey' too?
  7. Simply knowing (or using!) the name @Rosco P. Coltrane and growing up on the original should help you feel old!
  8. An Eve lander can be smaller than a Duna lander because you don't need to do a powered landing in Eve's thick atmosphere; 'chutes work just fine. An Eve ascent vehicle, on the other hand....
  9. Tom & Jerry? Amateurs! Gotta get out the big guns..... But seriously, T & J rock too.
  10. What do ghosts like to eat? Booberries
  11. I don't seem to be able to think up many puns. How this guy does these elaborate ones I don't know...
  12. When a coworker barely in his twenties had no idea who the Fonz was. Suddenly I felt like I should have a cane, a hearing aid, and a phone with buttons two inches square. And yet, men had already walked on the moon before I was born I remember when the "jump the shark" episode first aired.
  13. Oh, you're funny. The silence is just as deafening to the PC players.
  14. As I recall, the battle put a pretty good light show in the sky but little else until the ship crashed. And while the Empire did their own subtle contaminating, their decontamination droids were working much slower than they were capable of to keep the Noghri dependent on, and grateful to, the Empire. I got the impression that the Noghri would have been doomed without help. The entire planet's ecology suffered a mass extinction event before the Empire even stepped in.
  15. What you want is "Infinite Propellant". Spacecraft burn fuel with oxidizer to propel the vehicle, the combination being referred to as propellant. Having infinite fuel would do you no good without infinite oxidizer to burn with it. Also, gameplay questions should be posted in "gameplay questions and tutorials". This forum (Science & Spaceflight) is meant for real world stuff
