Um, I have my doubts, because that's not how it works. Not in a black and white manner you seem to think it does.

Interesting.  So they decided to hold an event, told everyone to wait for the details, held the event, but never told anyone about it.

It's a good thing Squad isn't a marketing company.

Best events are the one nobody knows about. That's exclusive.

[Which proposed space technology do you find the most ridiculous/impossible?]

Really, including the EM drive breaks the competition. It's on an entirely different level of improbability, and should compete with "just sailing over the edge of the world, and keeping some cable to reel yourself back in".

[How cool is the Antares rocket?]

Orbital/ATK is generally cool in "Jeb's Junkyard & Spaceship Parts" way. Also, one of their orbital rockets has a recoverable crewed first stage that can also take passengers across the ocean, if need be. Eat your heart out, Elon Musk!

[[1.1.2+] Kerbal NRAP - MOVED]

I'm also experiencing issues with changing sizes, and I do have FAR installed. Changing scenes (e.g. exiting VAB and immediately entering it, launching and reverting) applies the changes, and the bottom attachment node moves (but surface attachment applies to the unchanged model).

I don't really have enough time to test in proper isolation from other mods righ now, I'll try to scavenge some time tomorrow, for now just corroborating @Chris97b's observation, FWIW.

How about Rockot?

That's cool, but it lacks the explosion and (intentionally) losing bits on launch. Though the fire extinguishers and the small puff on fire at the end mostly compensate. Also, Dnepr is silver/green.

Honestly tho, I'm just going to liquid everyone off and say F9 is an extremely plain and boring-looking rocket.

F9 would be plain, but it's ridiculously slender, so that's something. I kinda like Antares, because it's a bit stubbier than expected (by my visual cortex, anyway). But the only thing that can contend with the R7/Soyuz family is Dnepr (because of the launch mode, of course - someone should subsidize making more of them, because there's a limited amount of those, but world would be much less fun without Dnepr launches).

[Arecibo to be mothballed?]

Aw. I don't consider myself equipped to thinking if that's the right decision (deciding things 'like' NSF should have more money is easy, whether a 47-year old telescope is still the best way to spend 12 mil - not so much), but Arecibo is quite symbolic. It would be really sad to see it go, on a purely emotional level.

Even my use of "female" must similarly be wrong, because it contains "male"... what to do! 

Look, actually, you can see quite a few hints, from quite a few places, about what to do: use the word "crewed". You'll live. EOT from me, before things get very silly indeed.

EDIT: and don't use the word "female" when you refer to women, or you're going to be made fun of on the Internet.

Regarding planetary protection... what would happen on any (distant) manned Mars landing? If someone coughs while suiting up is going on (even assuming the suits were isolated from the crew cabin before that process) then that's contamination, as would be just exposing the suits to the crew cabin. 

Honestly, it seems to me once people are involved contamination needs to be assumed.

While corporations are well known for how well they keep their promises, Emily Lakedwalla asked: 

Also, pretty much everyone is (finally) using the term "crewed" this time, it would be super-nice if this really nice forum would take note of that as well.

I'm not the modder, but unless they did something very exotic, yes - regardless of OS, actually.

EDIT: OTOH, there's no real reason to do so - they're harmless.

Hi, I really like your mod and use it for very long time, but now this mod was released:

Is there any chance to tweak your greenhouses in MKS to work with its supplies and oxygen? I like USI LS very much, but Kerbalism is made in one complete pack and any part of mod can't be disabled, so when u have it, you must use all features...including his life support and remote connection(problem with RT2...) So is there chance to include this in some way to work with MKS greenhouses and so on?

Thanks for answer.

Ave!

Toonu

Considering the scope of Kerbalism, I'd think you'd probably have more luck in that thread than here (as it does its very own thing, and would be pretty much just using the models). I do kinda hope RoverDude looks at that mod though, IMO it has some nice ideas in its UI :-)

[Practical uses for superpowers]

The webcomic Strong Female Protagonist has a near-superman working as a firefighter. Invulnerability and super strength definitely come in handy.

The strict way to add something: to double its bud. So you can get two pairs of arms, two pairs of eyes, etc.
If this increases the species' ability to survive, it has chances to stay in future.

So, tell me, how do you modify the joints to suddenly handle two sets of arms hanging off it?

Elephant have a big brain and a trunk that did not evolve from a leg.

And it seems that despite being quite smart and socially capable they can't keep it up against a bunch of hairless monkeys with opposable fingers. Even though we have tools that enable us to work efficiently with just one hand, but a lot of that was (ultimately) done by people who had two agile hands. Hands with fingers not only grab, but are very precise.

Octopuses sound more likely, but there's the question of how an aquatic creature comes up with fire.

[What should the next large scale space construction project be?]

I hope people will learn that large scale projects for their own sake aren't a good thing. So the next "large scale project" should be making sure the solar system is positively crawling with robots.

[Whats wrong with Skylon?]

20 minutes ago, tater said:

I'm not saying it would do anything, lol. I'm saying you could build it, turn it on, and then be able to say yes or no if it worked.

There are two problems with this: one is, I could say the same about my cup of tea, if I glued a switch to it. 2nd, people actually did that quite a lot, it turned out it did nothing. Which wasn't particularly surprising. So even if Skylon was completely imaginary, it would still be ahead of EM drive.

And the reason I'm quite angry here is, in contrast to EM drive there's a lot of work by competent people put into SABRE. The economics are against them, but they put honest work and real technical (if not business) competence into it. Comparing it to some technobabble scam is insulting.

I don't think em-drive is a thing, but you could actually build one and fly it in very short order.

EDIT: I'm getting annoyed, because while Skylon might be a pie-in-the-sky solution-in-search-of-a-problem silly idea that looks cool, at least nobody is claiming it's propelled by magic, goodwill and shards of broken laws of physics.
