  1. Nah, needs more struts. Or the CoL is shifting ahead of the CoM
  2. Station contract to Kerbin orbit-->Mun/Minmus orbit--> Kerbol orbit--> Duna orbit--> Ike surface= $profit! I also discovered that docking a sat or lander to a large tug and then undocking it seems to count as "launching" it. I've done that to fill a few sat and station contracts with vessels that were launched from Kerbin long before the contracts were accepted. The first one was quite by accident, I was shocked to see I had filled a contract.
  3. Thanks, but apparently not clever enough. I guess I needed to obfuscate one more line
  4. From forests, from swamps, from deep underground, ---- Wood instruments from the forests, reed instruments from the swamps, brass instruments (and metal guitar strings) from mines. Served well as a misdirection, but apparently cantab wasn't fooled I can make your emotions go swinging around.---- self explanatory Many enjoy me, and others employ me, ---- Most people enjoy music, ad agencies use it to sell, movies/TV use it to set mood There's always a new form to be found. ----- Classical, R&B, jazz, rock, rap, hip-hop.... what's the next new hot sound? I can be made in the moment, or follow a plan; ----- Improvising and jamming, or played from a music sheet The best is laid out in code. ----- The best jam sessions end up written down as a musical score By one can be poignant, by many is grand, ----- Solos can be tear-jerkers, while a full orchestra is quite the rich, grand experience I exist in many a mode.---- Live, recorded on wax cylinders, phonograph, tape, CD What am I?
  5. Bah! That was too quick, figures cantab would get it. I kind of figured I had a giveaway in there. Anyone need an explanation?

  8. If you use KAC, it'll make backups of previous quicksaves you can access from the alt-F9 menu. It's saved my green bacon many times. That said, my worst moment is when I haven't quicksaved for a few hours of playtime, and then something goes wrong. Like discovering my interplanetary transfer has shifted way outside the target SoI and I'm too close to correct.
  9. Woohoo! I'll cogitate on this overnight, and try to come up with a Vexx/cantab-grade whopper
  10. It appears something went wrong with that picture...
  11. I want to say an eraser, but the logic to make it fit the first and last couplets is pretty strained
  12. Is that a typo in the last line? "Will" instead of "with?"
  13. It'll stop when the dead battery has charged enough to put out almost enough voltage to equal the voltage from the good battery. The Voltage drop due to the internal resistance in the dead battery will continue to generate heat. That's if it charges at all since you generally need more voltage than a battery produces to charge
  14. Getting a toppled ship off the ground on Ike...
  15. Time to hit the beach! Don't mind the 747's
  16. This mod is very useful for docking a lander to the side of a tanker and then doing the long burn home
  17. Orion designs also use the intense radiation of a nuke to vaporize a thin layer of the ablative pusher plate, generating some more thrust. Rocket engines, solid or liquid, are essentially continuous, controlled, directed explosions. Put an explosive charge in a tube and you'll create thrust. But for evasive maneuvers, I'd suggest something like sepratrons pointed sideways
  18. Probably not glacier. Flying Dutchman?
  19. That's probably why it was abandoned: all those nasty critters moving in
  20. Well, there are some tribes in Africa and the Amazonian basin living in simple huts, who live on earth. To be precise: their huts have earthen floors. Or dirt floors, if you prefer.
