kerbiloid Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 If somebody makes a teleportal mode for Kerbals, this would allow to totally avoid spaceships, rockets, airplanes building in KSP. Kerbals would just walk through a door and get to a celestial body on their choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not thinking exactly about Dune, but was shocked by the idea itself: to avoid spaceships building in the spaceship building simulator. But isn't the establishing of a teleportation network the ultimate aim of the space travels? So, deliver a portal to, say, Dune, and forget about Dune space flights. Just drive your rover. P.S. For pain lovers: make the portal huge and requiring a lot of energy. So, first make a whole interplanetary infrastructure with KSPI-E.

This is more akin to destroying the shoe in case the shoe actually has a GPS, giving away your location... Read up on the 'Dark Forest' intelligent life theory.

p1t1o Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Anyone read Greg Bear's Forge of God/Anvil of Stars duology? Spoiler Civilisations conceal themselves by necessity as the trend is for civilisations to destroy each other. They're a good read btw. 1 hour ago, 0111narwhalz said: What is the interstellar civilisation's equivalent of throwing a shoe? In the above novels, it would be Spoiler Von Neumann weapons that convert solar systems into neutronium/antineutronium warheads. (They're not a critical spoilers, like the identity of a murderer or anything, but just in case you value mystery. Might spoil the first half of the first novel a bit, depending on the reader) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty interesting. Luke Skywalker was the old jedi, Annikin Starkiller was the young jedi in training, Darth Vader didn't have a mask, there was another Vader-ish character, and so on. Han Solo was a green alien... Man, that was weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1t1o Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I heard it also contained 6 trench runs, 43 exploding death stars, a cowboy jedi, a samurai for some reason, at least 4 seperate instances of ancient weapons (spear, bolas etc.) being "spacified" with lasers and chapters and chapters glorifying religious sacrifice. jk Edited August 16, 2018 by p1t1o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1t1o Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Do McDonalds put 7 nugget in 1 out of every 100 (or whatever) boxes of 6 on purpose, to increase the "magic" of the experience of buying nuggets? I've heard that they keep the McRib a randomly seasonal item to maintain its "specialness" even though they know it would sell well as a main menu item.

ChrisSpace Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If we told 1955's Werner Von Braun about every spaceflight achievement up to 1969, and then (without any extra context) told him where space-related progress is now, he'd probably start to assume there was a nuclear holocaust in-between that halted development.

Kerbinchaser Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Once you live a moment, it's lost forever. Eg. This thing I am writing right now will never happen again in the exact way it happened. Life will never be the same, every second, every moment, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every year, every decade, and every century. Enjoy life while you can.
