Absolution, you might want to talk to cBBp and Normak, the makers of the Kosmos pack, because I know a couple of their engines have the "glows red when hot or overheating" effect on them, they would probably at least be able to point you to a good tutorial, if not give you a few tips themselves.

Granted, but it is actually Kwanza Super-Party I wish that my cat could talk

Our first host was Heliohost. It's good. But the server we where on had lot's of Downtime. Then the one we've tried now is 000Web-host. Which apparently let us direct linking to stuff to make them download-able. Such as the .exe. And the .txt file used for KSPMM. And if you could temporarily lend us some hosting space, it would be very much appreciated. PM me if you'd like to talk some further.

Wrong wrongington. The clue is in the title; Spacex is short for Space Exploration Technologies Corporation. NASA already contracts companies to build most of the systems and rockets and things that eventually get them to space. NASA operates the machinery, runs the programs and all the rest. There's no reason why SpaceX can't be the Grumman (company that built Apollo LEM) of Mars. And as for going to Mars on their own, well, Elon Musk has repeatedly said that going to Mars is a driver for him and ultimately the company. His first idea for a space company was to send a little biodome to Mars, a completely philanthropic endeavour. SpaceX has been cash flow positive for a number of years thanks to LEO and geostationary contracts, and will no doubt continue to be successful in that area - but that's not all Elon Musk hopes to achieve. During one talk he said "I would like to die on Mars, just not at the point of impact". I sincerely believe him.

I find it a bit annoying hearing the media talk about "the edge of space". Space is empirically considered to start at 100km, which is nearly 3 times the altitude reached by Baumgartner's balloon. I even read articles this morning claiming that this jump was a huge step to figure out how astronauts could evacuate from orbit which is totally silly, or people asking if he was closer to the ISS than to the ground (the ISS orbits at 10 times this altitude and more importantly travels at 28000km/h). Most people don't realize that spaceflight is about speed, not altitude, and that you can't just jump off the ISS wit a parachute or get into orbit with a balloon.

Talk through it all and dont use any mods.

On their mission page they don't say that Felix will jump from the edge of space, they talk about to. So they use carefully picked words to actually say "A freefall record closer to the edge of space than ever tried before"

I'm really confused. I have two geosync satellites up right now, and both of them are oriented "up" so that way one of the 4 dishes (at 90 deg to each other) is always pointed towards Kerbin. As soon as I get out of range of the satellite from KSC, I can't "talk" to Kerbin any more. I'm using the interplanetary-class dishes.

Hi all, I'm not just a noob, Im a Brand Noob. I just downloaded the free play test 4 hours ago, to check it out before I commit to the game. ( I know it's only 20 bucks but hey, why buy more frustration) Anyway in that version I can't get ANYTHING past 10000m without it hitting apogee and nose diving. I've tried every combo in every (limited) configuration and all I can say is after 4 hours I'm ready to wash my hands of the whole thing. Questions Altitude does the M at say 10000M mean meters? What altitude do you need to achieve orbit around Kerbil? Do you need to go straight up to that level to achieve orbit or do you need to do some crazy ballistic lob that I will never figure out? What's the best "package" for a successfull mission in the play test mode? What's the mission of playtest? MOST important is there a more indepth KPS for dummies relating to the playtest module ( The tutorial is somewhat vague) This game looks really fun but I have no clue what to do. If I If I can get through the playtest I KNOW I can talk my wife into letting me buy the game. She works for a aviation/space industry , David Clark Company. Check em out on the web. They build the Flight suits for the U2 and SR 71 and the NASA space suits. BTW Felix Baumgartner Jumps from 120000 feet tommorrow ( we hope:cool:) that dude makes extreme look boring. Thanks

That's a common misconception - the layoffs happened whilst Bob was being interviewed on a talk show for twenty consecutive weeks, in an effort to set a world record. He left his cousin Beb in charge of the company during this time.

THIS IS, my 0.18 wish list Features: Polished IVA (All internals finished and internal movement started (like moving around in the rocket) More Parts (Simple Enough, I mainly want more jets and space-plane parts) (Also, jets that don't work on kerbin, but work on places like Duna and Eve.) More Planets/Moons (Also pretty simple, I mainly want more unique planets, like the crystal moon in Nova's dev blog) More Kerbal Animations (Just more animations (What I really want is you click a button and you kerbal does a pose... thing, like in TF2) More Scenes With Gene And Wernher Kerman (Kinda like the "At Kerbal Space Center" video, whenever you start a new save or make your first rocket/plane, land somewhere else, or blow up, you get a little video from Gene or Wernher.) More Kerbal Flight Cam Videos (Right now when we have a flight the only thing we see the kerbals do is be happy, be normal or be freaking out. I would like more.) Weather/Clouds (Not necessarily physical weather yet, just aesthetic weather. Like clouds.) Kerbal Voices (In flight kerbals do nothing but nothing. I would like for them to talk every once in a while or when something blows up, ETC.) Bug Fixes None now. Other Shenanigans: Graphics Card Physics Acceleration (I don't know if this is possible with unity but if it is that would help everyone, MASSIVELY. I will probably add more over time.

Hello everybody, just wanted to drop by and give an official note that our dear Capt'n Skunky will be joining us as a Community Manager, alongside Damion Rayne. So now we have 2 heads acting as one to try and keep some order around here. Welcome back Capt'n!! As for me, I'll be taking on a more direct approach to both of them so we are all in the same line all the time, working as a team. Also, I'll try to be more active around here, though it's hard to tell just how much activity my schedules allow me. But feel free to drop me a line if you want to talk about something and I'll try to answer as fast as I can. Thank you all for your support and love for KSP! Adrian Goya Excecutive Producer

I actually do write said way. And talk as well. I do know some german, but thats off topicnesses. It is very neat to talk as said before though. BTW, are you often bored? Because if so, then you must go look in, THE FILES. If you can't then I would put a tree made of metal in space, because why not.

Don't worry about Necro-ing if it's been a day or two, only matters if it has been a week or so. Also, I honestly can't tell whether you can't write in English and are putting the entire paragraph into Google translate, or you like to talk like that.

Kavarican is pronounced in the same way as English, but with a very nasal German accent. The letters Sh, Ch, and Th are used instead of letter blends (as in English). The letter ' sounds like the Russian letter ê, I am not really sure how to explain the pronunciation, but it's almost like catching the word in your throat before continuing to talk.

Don't talk poorly of my beloved Saturn V. *sniff*

Forgive me if this has been answered; I searched this thread for "decoupler" and didn't find the answer. At about 3:40, you talk about around to trigger the next stage.I've only had the sim a few days, but I have no idea how to move these components like you did. Can you explain?

Sometimes, people look at their life and long for more, it could be that your friend just wants to do new things for a change. So maybe think about what you could do that he'd be interested in doing as well, and ask him if he'd like to join you but don't feel down if he says no, his issues are most likely nothing to do with you. Talk to your friend though, as Ted suggests, he might be willing to open up, but don't force the issue, he needs to be willing to talk.

to be fair mechjeb is less advanced then the Apollo guidance computer .... and mission control had orbit projections by the 70s just saying the guys in the rocket had little to do really other then punch the number in to the computer assent was fully automated the astronauts had to talk NASA OUT OF making them little more then "man in a can" even in the Mercury days the LEM had to be flown seat of the pants but that was about it and Apollo 13 had some seat of the pants moments now THAT could be a good challenge wonder how hard it would be to build a save file for that .... thing is the "mun" in ksp seems much closer to the planet then the moon is from earth

I'm pretty new to this game so I don't really know how it works. I had a lot of fun in the demo and recently got the full game, but one thing I've noticed is that the physics in the later versions is completely different, so none of my tried and tested designs will work. :mad:Could someone post a design that can land on the mun please? I need some help, even if you could talk me through it that'd be great!

Granted, but they do not talk back. I wish I had cancer.

Sadly, I know this from experience, one of the people I talk to thinks you can just make science up without testing your theory or anything.

Granted, enjoy your new Hot Wheelsâ„¢ battle tank toy. I wish I could talk to dead people...
