[What is the minimum number of missions required to max out the tech tree?]

i think scott manley got it finished in 3 missions, might be wrong but its some low number like that

[Blocking the door]

i agree, especially after my trip to ike and i couldn't get out.

[What if China militarized the moon?]

i'm pretty sure I've heard that bringing a weapon into space is against he laws of the united nations and as soon as the project started so would war.

at least that's what i think

[cleaning experiments on eva]

as we all know EVA in game is not really used for anyything other than when landed.

i think that a (or mulitple) kebals on eva should be able to clean experiments. it would have to take a certain amount of time or maybe take more than one kerbal to do.

what do you guys think?

[hovering from the kerbalkon livestream]

I believe they twitch (set) the output thrust of each engines. In percentages. Example Mainsails 50% means you will full throttle at 750kns instead of 1500kns.

Yeah that was C7. One of the engines had the thrust tweaked to balance it. Try it out in the VAB... with the Center of Thrust marker shown.

thanks guys i was wondering how he did it since i tuned in as he was hovering and i didn't get to hear how he did it.

[hovering from the kerbalkon livestream]

i was watching the kerbalkon live stream and watched as he(i'm not sure who) built a completely unbalanced rocket and used what i thought to be rapier engines to hover it perfectly still.

am i missing something? because i cant find this feature in-game.

[Gravity (Movie)]

kind of spoiler

what doesn't make sense to me is that the shuttle and ISS both have the perfect inclination and orbital times to be hit by the cloud. like thats a 1 in a million chance givin how much space there is in LEO

[Tech tree problem]

click unlock, grren botton on near the bottom

[How to get reentry scenes like in the video pale blue dot?]

most likely it was not in game footage. he probably modeled it himself or took the game's textures and made them higher qualities meaning he must have animated his own reentry.

[Why is everyone here such a pessmist?]

people are pessimists because it seems more realistic. if i say we wont be around in 100 years and we are ill be super happy but if i say well be gone in 100 years and we start to diminish in 20 years ill feel terrible.

[My single crew Duna Lander in need of help]

i would say if its weight is too large get rid of the srbs and replace them with liquid rockets

[Interplanetary travel for a noob]

i know the title says im a noob but i dont really think i am. ive been playing ksp for the last 2 and a half years and have gone to the mun and minmus. i have docked and built a station in orbit around kerbin and the mun and have a mun base. the only other planet ive been to is duna and with the debug menu.

so if anyone has any good tips and/or ships to help me go to duna for the first legit time any help would be appreciated!

[discovering planets in career]

ive been thinking about this for a bit and wondering why a space program that just started could know thee positions of every planet in the solarsystem. i think once missions are implemented there should be things were you put together a space telescope and then you now know the exact orbit of a planet or 2.

mission 1: test launch rocket with abort

2: get to orbit(you discover minmus(since you can see it from kerbin)

then later you build a (not so great) space telescope and discover eve and duna.

in interplanitary space you see jool and focus scanners on it and discover jool.

what do you guys think of a planetary discovery system like this?

[Long term science experiments]

i think it would be a good idea to add something like this but it would need to be well balenced.

[science holding bay?]

so ive been playing career mode for a while now and ive wonder if a science bay that holds info and sample separate from the science bay that made them could be put in.

it would be used so when you finish testing one area of say the mun you can then launch only the container back to kerbin with a launch system and them recover it without having to bring the hole ship home and recover to launch again.

what do you guys think about this kind of part?

[Upgraded Space Suits]

I think it's intended at some point that they'll be able to send data if they're within n metres of a working capsule with an antenna of some sort.

yes that what i mean. like if your taking reports 2km from your lander you can send them back to be stored on the ship.

[Upgraded Space Suits]

since right now when you take a eva report or surface sample you cant transmit since your suit doesnt have anything to transmit with. what about having a suit upgrade in the tech tree so you can?

we could even take it a step further and make different suits for different jobs like: suit with parachute, suit with radio to transmit your findings, suit with extra eva feul. suit with extra room for samples,

what do you guys think about this idea?
