Ignath Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 3 hours ago, Kryten said: The quotes are just blank, not broken as such. I had to post that (and the one above, sorry) because I can't find any way to delete quote boxes on android, and once I've deleted everything outside a quote box I can't select anything outside the quote box again. I should note the problem is with Google's 'Android' operating system, I'm definitely not an actual android. If anybody says anything otherwise they're a dirty liar. I know it's OT and such, but I have the same issue with Google's Chrome browser as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do this, tap on the title area of the quote box itself and you'll see some editing things around the edge of the box, then press the delete button on your keyboard. I hope this helps so you're no longer accused of being an android! What keyboard do you use where you have access to a proper delete button?

Just the normal typing keyboard on my Galaxy S5, and its just the normal backspace button with the X in the middle. I also noticed that you can do the same thing in Chrome on Windows.

Frybert Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ok folks lets try keeping this on topic again? If you want to discuss the forums on mobile (and I agree its a bit of a pain) perhaps start a thread in Kerbal Network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It caused the secondary payload to not reach orbit and burn up. Was that not a 1D? If that is the case, they should track all varieties because it seems misleading to put 100% up there.

Bah, I really did mean to say C the first time around, I had been looking up the D engine though to make sure it didn't have any issues before I posted so that must have been on my mind when I typed it.

Leszek Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 My favorite from these kinds of guys are the following two: If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, why don't rockets go straight up? and Whenever I watch a rocket launch how come we never see the rocket leave the atmosphere?

Then to demonstrate this, he shows us a reversed video of the landing, with the smoke accumulating around the rocket engine before it starts. Yeah !

I actually believe what he said. I mean, its impossible right? Why does the speed exceed 20000kmph when the rocket is on the ground!? Were the people missing the landing and forgot to press the "stop" button!? Also, the april 8th landing was OBVIOUSLY fake just because it was different from the CRS-6 landing attempt. They must have overlooked that trying to "land" it!! And was it even a landing? It looked way more realistic when the footage was reversed. It's clearly a launch. The smoke you see are just made of exploded apples and they are moving towards the rocket because they want to run away from the stupidity of mankind some people. Conclusion: Fake.

PB666 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Quote Damn it, sometimes I love "da innernet".. The reason the thrust vectoring is different between the two is simple In the first landing, the landing failed, in the second the landing succeeded. For every fact or theory there is a conspiracy that explains it . . . . . . some need more altered states of mind than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
