  1. Which makes me wonder whether, if the Soviets hadn't been so frickin' secretive, and had shared their experience with pure oxygen environments, NASA wouldn't have lost Grissom, Chaffee and White. I know, there's no way to answer that question, but I still have to wonder what might have been.
  2. How long was it before news of Bondarenko's death and its manner was known in the West?
  3. Look again more closely. I think the setting starts at 0.04, not at 0.4 (see the difference?). You want to move the slider to the right (as the instructions say), not to the left.
  4. Following the link, the image is called 51-L_Clip_319.jpg. 51-L was the mission on which the Challenger was lost, so, yeah, I would guess it is indeed the nose of a space shuttle.
  5. Sharpy: My understanding is that because of precession, the vernal equinox has not always been in Pisces. It used to be in Aries, hence the symbol. Or were you asking about something else?
  6. Thanks. So I guess I'll just have to be satisfied knowing it means something to Felipe. I'm glad the 2001 reference wasn't too obscure.
  7. Hi. I've been noodling around with Orbiter off and on for years. My son bought me KSP for Christmas and I think I'm gonna have tons of fun. I've got a silly question to start off with: does anybody have any idea where the names Kerbal/Kerbin come from? Regards, Kerwood Floyd
