XKCD mentions KSP again

[White Owl]

Weird... I'm looking around and not seeing a thread about this one yet.

http://xkcd.com/1416/

Keep scrolling and keep looking at all the different pictures. (There are more than you think at first.) One series has him pulling rocket parts out of a box labeled KSP.

I thought it was pretty cool.

[Reactordrone]

Needs more struts.

[Jesrad]

I can't zoom past the first picture, I assum there should be more levels as you zoom in ? It just goes blank at that point in my browser

[White Owl]

I'm looking at it in Firefox, and it's buggy... flickers and the picture sometimes disappears, but is stable enough to view the whole thing eventually. Yeah, you can keep zooming in through dozens of levels.

[ratchet freak]

also from looking at the code behind the scenes depending on which picture you zoom in on you get a different set

[MegaFlop10]

This might help.

I wonder if he has a forum account, that would be pretty cool.

[Alewx]

For me (IE11) it is broken, only the first picture, then only white.

Also after pic 7 in the explain link, nothing is not working for me.

[Jon Tash]

Works fine with Chrome but it's slow when I get to the next picture when at max zoom of a picture.

So many turtles!

[Umlüx]

works fine in waterfox

[Redd]

Love XKCD, cool to see they 'use' KSP! The image:

[cantab]

Be warned, the comic's a browser stress-test. My system failed to handle it and killed all my programs, including my VM (which is equivalent to pulling the plug on the virtual machine, something I try not to do )

[VirtualCLD]

This might help.

I wonder if he has a forum account, that would be pretty cool.

Rumor is that he does browse the forums, though I don't know if he has an account.

[timsfitz]

It's turtles all the way down. Read that in a Stephen King book a long time ago. Dark Tower 3 I believe.

[Cmdr. Arn1e]

Also common in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series... which I am close to having the full collection

[Mr_Brain]

A few levels after the KSP box, someone says "Needs more struts" about the rocket.

[Javster]

Yeah it's really laggy.

[Blind Dead McJones]

I'm on Firefox in Windows 8.1 and it works for me. It's a bit slow sometimes when it crosses the threshold to a new set of images though.

[problemecium]

Other than some minor lag I had no issue other than the fact that all I saw was the same two space levels over and over again.

[Superfluous J]

I like XKCD but it's not worth this much fiddling.

Thanks Redd for posting the only thing I actually cared about, the KSP box

[lajoswinkler]

It made my computer almost completely unresponsive when I tried to view it in Firefox. It works ok in Chrome.

[GreeningGalaxy]

It gave me no trouble in Chrome on Debian, which surprised me because usually Linux Chrome has every conceivable browser issue (ever try using it with Scratch?).

I did get a little tired of rubbing at my scroll wheel after about 15 levels or so, but it's nevertheless one of the better XKCDs to date in my opinion.

Where can I find me some KSP rocket parts? Would've made an awesome entry in the 4H fair last year!

The mouseover text in http://xkcd.com/1106/ was what originally switched me on to KSP.
