What has KSP do to change your regular life

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Hi! I made this thread mostly because I am uploading a file to Dropbox, and tried to press . to speed it up. Please post what has changed your life in any way. Could be silly or proper.

I was hauling something the other day, and when I had to level it out, I kept picturing the yellow center of mass circle marker in the middle of it.

[cesarcurado]

Nothing much except I keep thinking a lot about my next spaceplane and rocket designs, and which missions they will take part in.

[SmallChange]

I, probably not so subtly, try to bring up space related conversations at work in the vain hopes that they will lead to an opportunity for me to try to teach them orbital mechanics.

[Specialist290]

I've had to consciously keep myself from reaching for the Time Warp buttons while driving to work in the morning.

[Canopus]

I recently watched Apollo 13 and when they spun out of control because their RCS was overcompensating, i thought to myself Why don't they press R or deactivate ASAS:rolleyes:

[CalculusWarrior]

When driving, I sometimes think of it as exiting orbit, making the long interplanetary burn, then getting captured into orbit again... And yes, there is the ever-present lure of the timewarp buttons! Also, when I see large structures, I wonder "How does that not lag?"

[tavert]

I've been only brushing the teeth on one side of my mouth, "I've got symmetry on for the rest."

Half kidding.

[Akalaël]

When I look at my old car I think : this rubish weigh 0.75 tons, a bit like the command pod Mk1...

But it is more efficient : I can carry 4 persons in it !

When walking, i often wonder if i have enough delta-v to get round the corner.

Watching rocket launch failures and going in the comments section searching for KSP references.

[Frankiebolo]

I find myself often thinking in terms of m/s instead the normal Km/h (metric system here) and everytime while driving I need to go into reverse I think : "let's burn retrograde"

[Guest]

It has effectively eliminated any spare time I might have had.

Watching rocket launch failures and going in the comments section searching for KSP references.

For one, I do the same thing. Two, oh my gosh the comments in your sig. We need to make this a real thing. "Engines are nominal. Wait, one of them just blew, one engine is kerbal".

[Richy teh space man]

I've thought it would be handy if I could just put ASAS on while I'm driving

[AncientAstronaut]

It turned me into a rocket.

[Kerbface]

I don't have a funny answer, it's just enhanced my interest in space and space travel.

[Kerbface]

It turned me into a rocket.

I got better.

[Luna Lovecraft]

I now constantly think of anything I do at all in terms of maneuvers.

Especially cool things. Like catching stuff.

Sadly, I'm not good at catching stuff.

I-I don't have enough Delta-V to get out of my chair! Somebody, send help!

[Bafver]

Only thing I've noticed is a serious lack of sleep.

[Flixxbeatz]

I was once just a normal human like you, then I found KSP. I am now a Spaceplane.

For one, I do the same thing. Two, oh my gosh the comments in your sig. We need to make this a real thing. "Engines are nominal. Wait, one of them just blew, one engine is kerbal".

One engine went kerbal*

Soooooo accurate

[Tw1]

The time I need to be at the bus stop is now a launch window..

Public transport options are now trajectories.

But changing buses or to a train, was always known as doing a transfer.

Also, when I see a sign on a motorway ramp saying "exit speed" I think, that's a bit slow for an escape trajectory.

Minecraft and F1 2011 are collecting dust now. KSP uber alles. And as I am trying to fall asleep at night, can't stop planning ahead on the next design change that will work to get a satellite into Minmus orbit.
