KSK Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Jeez. He wrote "I'll have to check out KSP," not "I'm going to check out KSP on (date)." Perhaps he'll not do it at all. Is that really worth making a new thread about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSK Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 First man to step off the moon!I bet he's good at rendezvous, he was known as "Dr. Rendezvous" during Gemini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 A fair point, but in my opinion - yes it is. Doesn't really matter if or when he checks out KSP - it's enough that he's aware of it and name-dropped it.He wasn't aware of it. Someone mentioned it to him and from his reply I don't think he knew what it was.To me it sounded like he wouldn't check it out. That's something you say to be nice.

Sky_walker Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Up to you. Personally I prefer a white vest. Really? His vest is in a museum?loooooool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodion_herrera Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I little OT, but thought you might like to read this. Some years ago, a guy named Ron Monsen created a program called "Eagle Lander", a pretty good and detailed LM simulator for the PC. He actually managed to get Gene Cernan (AP17, last man to walk on the moon) to try it:http://eaglelander3d.com/cernan.htmlI'd be interested in KSP feedback from either Cernan or Dave Scott.

Rowsdower Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We haven't yet had luck on hooking up with Buzz and his people, but we'd really love to hook him up with anything he needed out of us. It'd truly be an honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lajoswinkler Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Can someone say Massive Boost in popularity!?!?!Not that massive. You've forgot you live on Earth. If it was Justin Bieber, then it would be massive. I'd like to see Aldrin playing KSP. Now that would be fun, and a massive boost. It would go viral on YouTube.

NASAFanboy Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not that massive. You've forgot you live on Earth. If it was Justin Bieber, then it would be massive. Massively popular amongst the people who we don't want it to be massively popular among. But we can all agree and welcome more space enthusiasts, yes?

John FX Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) just don`t call him a liar, a coward and a thief (repeatedly) he really doesn`t like it.In casual clothes.They obviously run mods. I can see VesselView, ScanSat, (centre screen) probecontrolroom, (whole room) Mechjeb, KER, (information displays) Infernal Robotics, (shuttle doors) kOS on the right hand screen, EVE...

cpast Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Aham, he has this http://www.slitherine.com/games/BA_SPM_Pc and you are still hoping he will play KSP?That's not even in the same genre as KSP, according to its website. It's a turn-based strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That's not even in the same genre as KSP, according to its website. It's a turn-based strategy.The "space program tycoon" aspect seems pretty similar, but it doesn't look like you pilot anything or build anything you designed yourself, so it does seem to be missing the core of KSP gameplay.

Ival70 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately, it does not seem anything has ever come of it. I haven't heard any other news about him talking about KSP.[Edit: I now realize that this thread has been dead for a year. Face-palm.] Edited May 19, 2015 by Ival70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalfunctionM1Ke Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Buzz already has his name on a Videogame called "Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager".Maybe he is tangled up into contract-wise and dont want to get into a lawsuit or something in his old days advertising for another game with a similar Name... but that is just speculation.I am pretty sure he knows about the game and is happy that the space is getting lots of young peoples attention.Maybe there is a future astronaut or engineer among us. Who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Old thread is old, I guess Buzz never tried it after all (or if he did, we didn't hear about it). Locking this one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
