[AAR] Voyage to the Unknown - The Grand Tour
TheBadAstronomer replied to Bengsch85's topic in KSP Fan Works
That was a good read! I can't wait for more. Keep up the good work! -
Alternatives for atomic interplanetary travel?
TheBadAstronomer replied to AletzN1's topic in KSP1 Discussion
I use the LV-909 as a backup engine, although I do have craft that use it as a main engine. One example is the ChemRock 9000+ Deep Space Probe. That thing had so much delta-v, I could land on Moho! You should really check his out his work here. -
My family and I were stargazing the other day with my motorized telescope when a light similar to what you saw moved across the sky. We had no clue what it was until I aimed the telescope at it. It was a Chinese lantern! We saw several more that night, along with seeing Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Betelgeuse, and the Orion Nebula. That was a fun night.

When in doubt, use more struts!

Let's see... Sphero! It's really neat to see it in action. I think Scott Manley has a video somewhere. Nanoblock Space shuttle, Clothes, And $50 in gift cards.

Very nice! I especially like the one with Kirrim Kerman. Keep it up!

Year 11, Day 164. I like going to other planets, and that takes most of the time. So far, I've got a Kerbin Space Station, a Mun Station, a Mun base, and a Minmus base. I've landed on the Mun, Minmus, Duna, Ike, Dres, Laythe, Bop, Pol, Eve, Gilly, and Moho. All in those 11 years!

There are a few little things like that on other parts, like the communotron 88-88 has code on it that, when converted to ASCII Spells "beep". Here's the wiki page if you want to find more: WARNING: if you don't want to know any more Easter eggs then I advise you to avoid clicking this link. http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/List_of_easter_eggs

Holy cow!!! I never would have thought anyone would've gone through the trouble to come up with that! This just made my day. Thanks!

Currently, he is working on Minmus base 1 as commander. I hope he takes showers, because he's been with Bill & Bob for over 600 days!

That's quite a long holiday! Maybe you could go stargazing. I really like to look at all the different stars each night, and looking through a telescope makes the experience better. Try looking at venus with binoculars. You will probably be able to see its phase, just like you can with the moon. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Yay! I'm not the only one! The fan I use is super loud, so it can drown out any background noises. I can't go to sleep without one unless I'm really really tired.

Stop or slow motion
TheBadAstronomer replied to gtaguy1223's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
There's a function similar to this. Press Esc, and you can do what you mentioned. -
My most recent recurring dream is about falling from a rocket. In this dream, I am strapped to a rocket on the top. Suddenly, the rocket roars to life( with me still on it), and I am thrown violently into the air. After about 3 seconds, the sensation of weightlessness hits me( which is rather cool), and I wake up right before I hit the ground. Although I wake up really surprised, this is my favorite dream yet! Also: I had a dream where I was shot in the head while looking at a mirror. Before I woke up, I could see straight through my head!

You mean Derek Muller? I don't see why you would think that.

I'm surprised they weren't listed.

How to make maps in ISA MapSat?
TheBadAstronomer replied to GamerMitch's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
SCANsat is an excellent mod, you should look into it. Although the parts look all the same, it is better than ISA mapsat in its current state. I remember seeing somewhere that the developer of ISA was trying to bring it back, but I haven't heard of it since. -
TAC Fuel Balancer might be the mod you're looking for. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/tac-fuel-balancer-v1-0/

Craft desintegrates!
TheBadAstronomer replied to angeldust's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
Is your craft wobbling? Using powerful engines like the mainsail could cause the ship to oscillate and fall apart. -
'Biome' ideas for all the bodies
TheBadAstronomer replied to SunJumper's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
Nicely done! For the sunspot biome, we could have cooler temperature read outs for the thermometer. -
Happy Thanksgiving to all! What are you thankful for?

Ever had troubles with Kessler syndrome? a.k.a 'Gravity'
TheBadAstronomer replied to Wampa842's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Come on guys, does it matter if every little detail is right? The movie is for your entertainment, and it doesn't matter if they got some minuscule detail wrong. I've never had that problem with debris, as I deorbit most of it.
