  1. This makes me moist. To hell with everything else i have to do.
  2. IMHO; i'd rather code so they pilot themselves. This is space travel, not the Red Bull airshow.
  3. Ugh; sorry and yeah that would suck. DON'T BUG THE MODS WITH THIS, PEOPLE!
  4. Here is my collection of all my bookmarks remotely related to space, science and that sort of things. I encourage others to share; read, learn; and please don't post anything fishy. http://www.100yss.org/about.html http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/MPF/rover/descrip.html

    Excellent work, i love it. This rover challenge has got me thinking.
  6. Alright! I've pinpointed where i've landed. The spatial distortion from the map is really worst than anything i expected. From the orbit map it looks like Germany, but from Orbit and topographic map it looks very much like Quebec; attached to a HUGE landmass that is very hard to see from the first pictures i took; the whole thing looks like a badly deformed Canada. I had trouble finding my exact spot; especially since Quickdraw likes to mess up longitudes as well as KSP (254 degree West? What?? Don't they go up to 180?) i had to pinpoint it with the seas pointing at it. Hmm. In light of the geographic analysis, i change my request. The large, 3000m+ Area that the plateau is attached to shall be named Terra Colossus (mountains are left unnamed) and the smaller area that is circled in the big rounded square is now to be know as New Quebec. I have a few ideas of what to do next, not limited to claiming stuff including: - Trying to Calculate the two moon's masses from establishing an 'as perfect as possible' orbit around them (just for fun, but who knows if they gave us the real mass...) - Testing for an Exosphere on the two satellites using parachutes (sketchy, but even a small deceleration over a long time will yield computable data; alto KSP's way of handling Kerbin's atmosphere makes me doubt it will yield anything) -
  7. Very very interesting, i like your ambition and i can't wait to see some mining implanted. Also, nice robot. Watching your "chemtrail" video right now, very interesting method. Everyone needs to get experimenting.
  8. Hey all; i'm going to be pleased working with this and can't wait for new planets. In the meanwhile i'm going to claim the name for one of Minmus' most outstanding features. I want to know if it's been claimed yet. As you can see this huge plateau stands up from the otherwise random landscape; it's easy to notice but i still can't find it in the Quikgrid. So i propose to name it Colossus Plateau; in honor of the Apollo guidance computer OS that guided Apollo 8 around the moon in the first circumlunar flight; and also because it is so amazingly defined as if it was carved out of the ice by a giant. Along with the main geographical feature, i also request that the Area defined by a rectangle from 11°36'31''N - 253°57'24"W to 11°39'24"N - 254°0'52" be from now on referred to as the New Montreal Surface Base. The landing of those probes was quite uneventful; Minsat 3 landed practically on the other side of Minmus then made a ballistic hop and adjusted for a precise landing next to it. Both probes have at least 50% fuel left and next stop might be those methane lakes. I inquire; who has the best map of Minmus?
  9. Salut a tout les autres Kerbaliens Francophones, et Vive le Québec Libre!
  10. BR-1 Strike Bomber Role: Bomber, Reconnaissance, Strike, Anti-Ship Strike Max Speed: Mach 2.2 Crusing Speed: 400 m/s Crusing Altitude: 15,000m Range: 800km Weapon: One KSM-7 Air-to-Surface Cruise Missile, bombs, Nuclear weapons Nice. But i can do better. UR-2 Long-Range Bomber Role: Bomber, Reconnaissance, Naval Patrol, Certified Trolling Max Speed: Mach 1.4 Cruising Speed: Mach 0.9 at 10,000m or Mach 1.2 at 13,000m Fuel: 2250kg internal Fuel Consumption: 0.3kg/s at high efficiency cruise; 1.2kg/s at transsonic cruise Range: With 2x500kg Drop Tanks and high-efficiency fuel-saving cruise at 10,000m; 2,200km Weapons: Anything you can thing of, even anti-submarine sonobuoys I brought this baby to the North Pole and back; i kind of wasted some fuel in the first leg and had only enough fuel for a good landing at the pad but not even a turn-around. It flies like a dream but has a funny 20degree AoA at altitude wich is no real problem. I had the pleasure of having to rely on the position of Minnus and the Sun when flying near the pole to keep my orientation; otherwise i would have gone lost and never made it back. The entire flight lasted 1hr and 48 minutes. Here are some things i noted could be fixed: - We clearly need more and brighter, more distinct stars. - The runway needs to be way longer and wider. It also desperately need night landing lights!! I just don\'t risk landing on the runway as landing on the ground is just as well - WE NEED MORE INSTRUMENTS! Please!! XD Does anyone know what the land distance record for an airbreathing aircraft is?
  11. We can throw it up to the user wether he wants NASA F-104s or T-38s; mods can do that. And i reckon it would kick arse.
  12. I think the days of $30 and over games is over.
  13. IDK why; but i\'d see them use Mig-21\'s. In fact; i\'d see the Mig-21 being the primary fighter in Kerbal. It\'s just so... Kerbal! Rugged, simple, primitive, brutal, fast...
