StrandedonEarth

As the title says. Just wondering If Dillan has enough dV to make Tylo orbit once his lander runs out of gas....

First Tylo landing: Take 2: Hard landing when I ran out of fuel for my auxiliary power "emergency rockets" destroyed my landing gear and LV-N's. Probably wouldn't have had enough dV to make orbit again anyways, even with the nukes. For "Take 3" tomorrow I'll dump more fuel in the nearly empty transfer stage I use for the initial deorbit burn. Should give me enough to make orbit after. At least he left the Jool system science in the lab this time.

Made my first Tylo landing!! What? Dillan is alive, isn't he? Unfortunately, he has all the Jool system science in the lander can with him. On my next quickload attempt I'll move it to the science can first, since he'll probably be stranded there

From the Wiki article: "The economy of Kerman is mostly based on farming, notably nut farming" That explains a lot, those little green guys have to be nuts to ride on our contraptions....

Yes, I play KSP on my laptop; it's the only puter I have now. But it can handle it, it's a HP Envy dv6, which has an i7 cpu, 8Gb of RAM and Geforce GT 630M graphics. It can handle 500 part launches with no lag. Edit: Thank you AirMiles!

Correct... Ummm... hunting dog?

I'm not very creative at this, it seems. I'll have to just pull one from memory, which anyone who has read the book(s) should be able to get. What is better than all the gods, yet worse than the devil? Dead men eat it always; live men who eat it die slow. Bonus points if you can name the book or series I pulled it from, or if you can name what word I changed from the book.

The internet? Youtube?

Well, the real problem is all this electricity going through them. Try turning it off, it should stay nice and cool then. And it makes a very nice, expensive paperweight.

Sounds like a mass converter, convert mass to energy

Increased warp when I meant to decrease Not enough propellant

I can't drink any rocket fuel!

Kerbal Alarm Clock has a basic planetary transfer window calculator. Not terribly accurate IMO, but it's the only one I've used (and it's why I got KAC in the first place; now it's indispensible) and it's close enough for Kerbin government work.

The director admits he took liberties with the locations of Hubble and the space stations, or there wouldn't be a movie. Totally realistic movies are boring and are usually called "documentaries"

Never use your "laptop" on a soft surface, including your lap. This is why they are officially called "notebook" computers. Soft surfaces will block the airflow openings leading to overheating. KSP gives me a pretty hot exhaust stream ( I should try to keep my coffee cup in the stream) but never a slowdown or shutdown, because: The first thing I did when I got my first laptop was to cut a slightly bigger piece of plywood to fit underneath it, so the openings are never covered no matter where I put it. I also drilled a bunch of holes in it for fun (the plywood, not the notebook). Of course, you can always buy a laptop cooler to put it on, I see one at NCIX for C$20

My wife finds me irresistible when I play KSP But when I finally close the laptop she ignores me if not grabs it to facebook.

Once, when I hit F5 when I meant to F9, I recovered some time by quickly hitting Alt-F4 before autosave happened. When I restarted KSP I was back before my grievous error (can't remember what my error was though)

The "Kerbal Engineer Redux" mod lists the current terminal velocity under the "surface" tab while launching. This makes it easier to keep your velocity a few m/s under terminal velocity

Coming around the on-ramp onto a local bridge with a long, somewhat steep climb to the middle of the bridge, I always get a little radio crackle in my head "Go for main engine burn!" After winding out 3rd gear to the top of the bridge I can smell the catalytic converter cooking.

Brucie and friends can take care of that

-A blind man, a nun, and a blonde walk into a bar. The bartender looked up and asked, "What is this, a joke?" -A man comes home and tells his wife, "Pack your bags dear, we won the lottery!" The wife asks "Where are we going, what should I pack?" The husband replied "I don't care, just get out!"

Luke and Obi-Wan are having dinner in an Oriental restaurant. Obi-Wan is eating quickly and neatly with chopsticks, not dropping even a grain of rice. Luke, on the other hand, can't seem to get the hang of using chopsticks, getting food everywhere except in his mouth. Finally Obi-Wan says.... . . . . (wait for it) . . . . "Use the Fork, Luke!"

I now drive my wife nuts by asking her "Where's my pants?"

Oh ya, also played Star Wars Galaxies for a year or so until it got nerfed into oblivion. They changed everything around to lure new players (the "New Game Experience) and ended up alienating all the old ones. My Jedi-enhanced master weaponsmith became useless. I hope heads rolled at Sony for that debacle. Ah, they probably got bonuses.
