... so, she wants to play KSP but you're hogging it?

exactly, someone who understands...

[luizopiloto]

when you go sleep and again, for the 5th night, you dream with KSP... ಠ_ಠ

[pandaman]

When you turn on the gas hob and it sounds like rocket engines.  Then name the different sized ones Terrier, Mainsail and Mammoth.

[vicdoctor]

When you're getting in bed on your left side, then rolling to your right asking yourself if you've turned your SAS on

or

When you understand that cardiac ejection fraction is just a fancy TWR analogy.

[septemberWaves]

When you see a bright speck in the sky during the day and you think "oh look, it's Minmus".

[Jestersage]

When you are thinking about how to stack the brew pub's barrel and brew tank into a rocket... while you are drinking soda because you are the designated driver.

[MikeZDB]

When u have a 500+ Mb of excel files whit most of the real information space missions recompiled by you for months, and you are doing that real in the kerbal solar planet…… (now, I are in the mission Nº99)

[wossname]

When you run head-first into a large boulder expecting no resistance.

[Leafbaron]

When you realize smoking crack would have been preferential to starting KSP. 

[Garrett Kerman]

When someone stops you in the middle of a conversation to ask you what "prograde" means.

[James Kerman]

When that Eeloo mission is more important to you than your anniversary.

P.S. If you're reading this honey I'm just kidding.

P.P.S.  I'm not kidding.

[Kerbinchaser]

When you can quickly say all the names of the parts and celestial bodies in KSP, but for all the money in the world you can't solve your math.

[Terwin]

Your prototype Kerbin Scan-sat just finished a high-resolution scan of Kerbin, so you send it off to Duna.

After the ejection burn for Duna, you wonder if you should send it to Moho next, so you can use up the last of the drop-tanks.

Today, struggling with a shopping cart loaded with over 150 litres of bottled water, reflecting: "Damn, this payload is really fighting me. I could really use some RCS on the front. How do I switch SAS on, on this thing?"

150 liters of bottled water? What are you going to use that for?

[Alpha 360]

When fellow KSPers tell me to shut up and stop talking Ksp! Yes I am not kidding! Also I am thinking in terms of orbits, or ellipses. What is the word? Circles?

"Kouston, we have several problems, but that doesn't matter so we want to continue on with the mission."

Mom got into an argument with the municipal waterworks, and to prove her point, dissolved the contract, then dug a well in the garden. The well water is for washing/utility water needs, but all cooking is done with bottled water.

PSA:

The European Space Agency will get all hostile if you if you use KSP screenshots to explain why their latest Mars lander mission failed and how they should have done it (using your KSP youtube videos as "evidence").

Also, they don't like it when you use "SPLAT!" to describe the loss of a high value spacecraft.  I think someone was being a little closed-minded and frankly a little bit stressed out, just sayin'.

So, yeah... tread carefully and just avoid showing Kerbals in what is supposed to be a serious presentation.  Although their security guards were very nice and polite and only threw me in the mud instead of onto the hard pavement.

I woke up today... 10 minutes ago and wondered why the timer I set for 9:30 did not go off.  I look at my phone and it did go off. The ringer was off though. So I am sitting there with this gut feeling I can do something about it. I think "I can use time warp." and realize it is only forward. Then I think "I can surely revert the flight!" And I finally realize I have lost an hour and I can't do anything about it.

When you look at a hotel and think "Those lamps look just like monopropellant tanks."

Explain please.

My alarm clock went off 15 minutes ago telling me to get ready for work.

 

Ignoring it cause busy landing a vessel on an other planet...

 

Priorities people, landing a vessel on an other planet is much harder than my job, and it is so much more fun !

When you insert 600km as radius of earth and then scratch your head because the result number doesn't make sense.

[cubinator]

When you convert every physics problem you possibly can into a system with rockets before solving because you have a better intuitive feel for how rockets work.

[SR]

This is a ridiculous thread.

There is no such thing as too much KSP.
