Apparently it's something reflective. Ice, metal, glassified regolith, similar to trinitite?

I don't know enough Python to know where most of the quotes are from unless it's from the Grail. But I just have to say.... NI!!!!

Occasionally I'll bring my laptop over to some friends' house and we'll fire up StarCraft, 3 against the world

Did someone say panda?

Some sort of burr-type plant, the sort that inspired Velcro? or Pollen?

I just landed a 2-stage Moho lander with 4 48-7S's surrounding an LV-909 on the descent stage. Oodles of TWR to make it easy.

There was a weird cloud formation in the Fraser Valley Sunday morning, nicely lit by the rising sun: (sorry for the huge pic) More pics The consensus (aside from aliens and chemtrails) is that it's a cloud formation called a 'fallstreak hole.' I'm thinking it's a jet contrail. Thoughts? Edit: I forgot the disclaimer, I did not take any of the pics, just linked them from the GlobalTV facebook page

10/10 for the nice shiny Apollo replica I give you Big Bertha: nearly 17kilo-units of fuel on the hoof

Moving the vertical stabilizer (with its attached tailplanes) as far back as possible will give more pitch moment. Once you get the pitch up, it'll generate more lift. While I rarely build aircraft, I've been known to use vernors or sepratrons to help get the pitch up. And I certainly don't think there's any shame in using RATO to get the speed up.

"Rabbit season! FIRE!" Er wait, wrong thread... Hmmm, simultaneous posts, going opposite ways... "Uhhhh, which way did they go , George, which way did they go....?" I guess they cancel out, so I'll say 17, again...

Country died...

...managed to launch numerous monoliths across the system, in hopes of seeding intelligent life. Their plan failed. They made Kerbals. I lol'd....

Ok, so it's completely fictional. Still pretty cool looking.

I see pencils! *nom*nom*nom*nom*nom*

Unfortunately none. My sons dabble a little now and then, just to blow stuff up

After all the basic installing and slapping a rocket together.... Mashing every key on the keyboard trying to make the thing launch! An in-game keymap would be exceedingly handy!

When you give your wife a Kerbal Valentines card... and she likes it! (from this thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/29533-What-did-you-do-in-KSP-today?p=1732885&viewfull=1#post1732885)

Another popular one is the 'Grandma/Grandpa scam', where someone phones and says "Hi Grandma/Grandpa, it's me!", and then waits for the answering person to guess a name. Of course, the scammer then runs with that name, saying they're in trouble, please send money.... It relies on the grandparents having infrequent contact with the the grown grandkids. My mother, who was sleeping when the phone rang, actually got hooked with one such call, but, unbeknownst to the scammer ("I went out and got busted for drunk driving and i'm in jail please send money to bail me out"), my mother lives downstairs from us and her then-16 (and uninterested in driving) granddaughter. The response the scammer got was "No, I'll come get you" and a flurry of phone calls then followed, to my wife's work, my work, and my daughter's school. I can imagine the puzzled look on the face of my daughter's teacher (and the 'what'd i do?' look on my daughter's face) as the teacher is on the phone saying "No, she's right here in front of me..." My response when I got the call at work was instant: (Admiral Ackbar voice:) "It's a scam!!!!" My daughter was teased about being a jailbird for awhile after that.

Eve is where I send convicted kriminals. It's harder to escape from than Alcatraz! Duna is more like minimum-security.

8/10 Pretty cool looking
