max_creative Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 You know, the "emiko is an intersolar traveler" actually sorta makes sense. Because say it was orbiting another star, got slingshoted out by a gas giant, flew to kerbin, and minmus captured it. Dres actually occasionally slingshots asteroids all over the place.

Jeb! Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hmmm... I'm thinking too much... hahahaha, @Just Jim, your asteroid in the pictures looks like it bounced off the VAB and rolled to the side, it's not in the same place in the two pictures!!! Don't think that would happen in real life, LOL! But hey its KSP!!!!

To get the screenshots I dropped Emiko on several of the buildings.... so yes, it is in two different places. Oh, and for the record, I discovered last night Emiko is just about the same exact size as the VAB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeb! Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I also noticed that this huge explosion is not even over KSC, (from bottom center) but I bet that was to get the effect that it was bigger than it really is. Smart idea! If you had put it over KSC, it would seem relatively too small to cover the whole thing. 4 hours ago, Just Jim said: Chapter 36 The Vision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies, lies, rumors and more lies! But anyway back to the topic of Emiko Station, sometimes we have to treat the pages as a mission report and sometimes we have to treat them as a comic. In this case regardless of how the shot was made, Jim clearly meant it to be the Emiko asteroid extinction-eventing KSC. That sort of thing is hard to do for reals, even with hyper-edit, so let's put away the tinfoil headgear and accept the shots at face value.

Just because you can communicate with spirits/rocks/whatever doesn't make you a shaman. That just makes you an animist, which is fine with me. Being a shaman is work, often dangerous 3 hours ago, Andem said: Wait... Didn't the original chariot have thrusters? OH SHI-- I figure the whole reason Thompberry is interested in graviolis is so he can use them for some UFO-type propulsion. No need for thrusters of fuel. 2 hours ago, Just Jim said: So as a tribute to Wil Wheaton the actor, and not his character, I will definitely not have an ensign Crusher in my story! hehehe.....

RocketSquid Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I have a question: How does Thompberry intend to harness the power of the gravioli as a mining rover with no ability to modify itself (No arms), and nothing gravioli related other than basic sensors? Also, does he think that harnessing it will suddenly give him the power to aim it perfectly? He's more likely to hit: Another Joolian moon (closer to him) Jool, if he aims REALLY badly Minmus (bigger than Ekimo) Mun (much bigger than Ekimo) Kerbin (Much, much bigger than Ekimo) The sun (Much, much, much, much bigger than Ekimo or Kerbin) Nothing in the Kerbol system (Much bigger than everything in the Kerbol system, and easier to hit.)

Deorbit him! Stayputnik mk1's have a max temperature of 1800 K and an impact tolerance of 12 m/s. And I don't think he comes with a heat shield or parachute. Shoot for the moon mun even if you miss you will land among the stars Jeb will eat all the snacks or get teleported to another dimension or run out of fuel or get hit with a gravioli beam or crash.
