Anyone intending to write a movie set in space should be required to play 1000 hours of Kerbal Space Program

Every Saints Row game including the lousy reboot is better than any Grand Theft Auto game.

Blackthorne speaking Spanish to a Spaniard: English

Blackthorne speaking Dutch to a Dutchman: English

Blackthorne speaking Portugese to a Portugese Jesuit: English

Blackthorne speaking Portugese to a Japanese woman who speaks Japanese, Portugese, and Latin: English

Blackthorne speaking Latin to a Japanese woman who speaks Japanese, Portugese, and Latin in order to keep secrets from other Japanese people who know Portugese but not Latin: English

Literally the only time he should actually be speaking English on screen is when he's cussing and muttering to himself.

My complaint about that one is that the third of it that was in English should actually have been in Portuguese.

The lunar gap already definitively exists. China is up there bringing home samples, making a communication infrastructure to reach the far side, and about to do ISRU tests next.

Copying China's homework from May, except China actually has the capability to do it.

A kkkristian parent wouldn't let their kid walk into a library with an LGBTQ section unsupervised, which is why kids absolutely need unsupervised access to media.

A couple more mods that might help:

  1. Kerbal Alarm Clock lets you set timers for things, like a ship's next maneuver or next Sphere of Influence change. It also lets you set alarms for the next interplanetary transfer window.

  2. Transfer Window Planner helps you plan the most efficient possible interplanetary transfer.

Prograde (green empty circle) will raise the altitude of the opposite side of your orbit

Retrograde (green circle with x in it) will lower the altitude of the opposite side of your orbit

Radial In (blue circle with inward lines) will lower the altitude of the point 90 degrees ahead of you in your orbit while raising the altitude of the point 90 degrees behind you

Radial Out (blue circle with outward lines) will raise the altitude of the point 90 degrees ahead of you in your orbit while lowering the altitude of the point 90 degrees behind you

Normal (pink triangle with a dot in the middle) will tilt your orbit so the point 90 degrees ahead of you will be closer to the north pole of what you're orbiting

Anti-Normal (pink triangle with lines going out) will tilt your orbit so the point 90 degrees ahead of you will be closer to the south pole of what you're orbiting.

When you have a target selected, burning Anti-Normal at the Ascending Node or Normal at the Descending Node will match your inclination to your target's.

Here are some mods that might be helpful

  • For maneuvering:
  1. Kerbal Engineer Redux gives you a lot of helpful numbers

  2. Precise Node lets you tweak maneuvers you plan very precisely, and also gives you the ability to change the way your orbit line shows when it goes from orbiting one thing to another

  3. Navball Docking Alignment Indicator gives you another icon on your navball in red when you target a docking port that shows which direction that port is pointing so you can line up with it easier

  • For contracts:
  1. SCANsat gives you parts to do orbital telescope scans of planets and moons, and contracts to deploy satellites to do those scans which are fairly easy and give decent rewards

  2. MOAR Station Science gives you big heavy station modules that you can use to build space stations, and little experiment pods to send to those stations to do research there. It also gives you extremely lucrative contracts to do those experiments.

I'm back to KSP again, been building science stations around Mun and Minmus while I wait for my first round of interplanetary probes to arrive. I already know the Moho one won't have quite enough dV to capture, but even a flyby should get me some good science points and unlock more contracts.

 

Usually I put the channel name in the title but I think this one would hit the slur filter.
