Near the end of this episode on safety there is a man talking about new technology for safety at NASA there is a pic of a ship with a lot of tanks taking off into orbit above kerbin somewhere past the second takeoff area on the little island.

My question is what on gods earth is that doing in a video dedicated to "Safety" in NASA and who thought that was funny. >< And is anyone else scared by that?

Is this a *wink*wink* meaning that NASA's new safety approach is the kerbal method?!

 

Mind you the shot of the kerbal ship is right after and during the man saying, "Not only is it a set of number for the type of structures we are building now, but it is actually a methodology that's being defined so that it can be applied to any future constructions or(KSP shot becomes the schene) whatever future material come around.. There is a lot of work being associated with that but we've at least shown a path forward(end of KSP shot) on how you can design test and analyse these types of structures at a very high level of fidelity. Cut Schene: woman starts talking: The NESC is working on many ways to make NASA safer. And as is the norm with NASA, often this safety that is highlighted for NASA trickles down into products that can be used by the general public as well."

 

Is this a warning sign from NASA engineers screaming for help that they are all going to die? Are they saying von braughn and Jebediah are at the helm and they are in terrible danger!!! >< Me senses purposeful contradictions about the norm in NASA's history as a giant Red Flag!! Lol

That man is screaming quietly for help!

Heh, well love hate to burst your bubble but the very first comment references KSP in that shot and NasaX confirmed it was used as just an illustration. Also, NasaX looks to be a part of NASA's public relations arm, probably best to expect things to be presented in a public friendly way. Like videos edited with illustrations that are technically inaccurate but look cooler...like from KSP .

Still fun though. I think KSP should be used way more in public relations for space, there's a lot you can do with it!
