    German Aerospace Day 2013: Control centers and a mockup

    I made a great trip to Cologne yesterday, and I have a lot of picture to share. I'll post a few on my blog each day. Of course many former and current Astronauts were there. I saw Hans Schlegel, Thomas Reiter, Reinhold Ewald, Léopold Eyharts, Frank De Winne, Andreas Morgensen and Thomas...

    Question I'm asking those who have jobs

    Gaming The Kerbal Space Program - Version 1.2.x

    Here's the state before liftoff, properly fueled for a hard but possible launch. More or less Kethane will kill you. I had some problems with the lander exploding when loading, but raising the gear and extending it again while yawing towards zenith should fix it. I'm already flying back right...

    I was above 500 kilometers, it had no visible influence. 12 km was a bit to low, but I was able to recover. Now I just have to land.

    No problems to report! What altitude should I target for the aerobrake? Never did this before. I'm still a bit unhappy about performance. ~10 fps, even with time running slower (max physics dt 0.04s), while the only thing to see are a few meshes and a skybox and the only thing to calculate is...

    I still have to update DCS, and that will take some time so I didn't make it today. I'd really love to do it, nice that you had some fun today!

    Hmm, as long as you don't burn garbage it seems to be ok. No permit needed. Source: http://www.berliner-feuerwehr.de/2478.html

    Last Night Of the Proms.

    Saw that it is on the channel NDR here in Germany and thought let's listen to it (only have a Desktop with a TV card and need the screen for other stuff). EDIT: NDR shows the whole stuff again directly from BBC at 01:40 Monday morning, more than 4 hours, while today they just show 90 minutes.

    Off we go into some nice blue pla-anes...

    Well, it's a bit hard to get direct flights there. AFAIK SAS via Copenhagen is also possible.
