togfox Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) So we\'ve all seen this baby on the Mun in v14.3. Those two parallel lines near the equator. It looks like some channel pointing to the big dark crater.Well, I thought the Kerbal Geographic Society� should map such a distinguishing feature and here you have it. The topography of the gash. Note that each side of the gash is mostly equal height but the gradient (ie the slope) is far more severe on one side which is the most obvious landmark when in Mun orbit.I think I\'ll map the community Mun base next.

togfox Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 With the help of Corax crxTelemetry and physically exploring the area with a Mun rover.Old school. Like it was done in the old days. I\'m trying to refine and streamline this and when I do I\'ll post instructions. I\'m waiting on some scheduled updates to the crxTelemetry mod.

VincentMcConnell Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I recommend changing the name of this terrain feature... because there are little kids here, I won\'t say it, but the word 'Gash' is slang term for something a little inappropriate.

togfox Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 I just googled it. It seems to be a UK thing. I\'ll let the forum Mods decide if there is a problem but point noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteevyT Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hmmm.....does anyone think it would be possible to orbit through the thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Unlikely. Check the heights in my map. Its high for a rover but shallow for a high speed orbiter. The entance/exit is steep too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Man Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Heh. Totally gonna go fly my rocket into the Mun\'s gash (and yeah, it\'s an extraordinarily common term in the UK; frowned upon, but common). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHedWlf Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Gash is a pretty common slang term for that. It\'s not just an obscure one that one person said once.From now on the headlights must be called vehicle forward illumination devices, beavers will be called dam building mammals, everyone named Richard must change their name, 300 million chinese with the last name of Wang will need to change their name. Clams are now simply an unidentified shellfish, Lizards are now to be referred to only as reptiles, muffins are now cupcakelike baked goods, there is no longer a number between 68 and 70, 'it' is to be replaced with 'Thingy' 'Thingy' is banned and to be replace with 'Whatchamacallit'. The fiddle is now to be called Rooftop musical instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkman Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 On one of my first flights in .142 i made a low Mun orbit that accidentally passed through the Gash. At some point the orbit actually dipped below the altitude of the surrounding landscape:(just after passing, looking back, pointing retrograde)http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4127/screenshot4re.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
