    News Stephen Hawking Dead at 76

    Wow. That's the highest caliber. Does that mean that in about 150 years, his work will also be taught as essential introductory material to moderately studious adolescents? We might need some more grades added to secondary school at some point...

    OHM Phoenix Mars Lander

    IronRain, Don't use Vel. Frame. That assumes a fixed pitch and yaw relative to your velocity vector. When you want to point to a fixed position in space, such as during spin stabilization, try P30LVLH (I think that is what it's called) instead.

    News US Navy resurrects Second Fleet in Atlantic to counter Russia

    It's news to me that any fleets were disbanded in 2011. So wait, we've had no Navy presence in the Atlantic for 7 years?

    OHM Space Launch System for Orbiter 2016 0.1.2

    This is the first version with one bugfix, correct? Seems to me that it should be 1.0.1.

    OHM Multistage2015 Saturn Rockets for Orbiter 2010 P1

    It's not "some" incompatibilities. Very few Orbiter 2010 add-ons work in Orbiter 2016. Considering the number of dependencies on legacy add-ons that this has, it makes sense. Some of use keep a copy of Orbiter 2010 for older add-on use. Orbiter 2010 didn't stop being excellent just because...

    OHM Space Launch System for Orbiter 2016 0.1.2

    Would be good if you could find a way to maintain the conversation thread. Perhaps start a development thread independent of this?

    Problem Help with guidance file

    Make sure that your launch vehicle has RCS thrusters defined, and that they provide a hefty amount of thrust, perhaps 10% or so of the main engine thrust.

    Problem Help with guidance file

    Are you using multistage2 or multistage2015? If the latter, why are you not using the "orbit" command? Pitch profiles are SO 2014...;)

    Catastrophic Engine failure on Southwest Airlines 737

    :facepalm: Flying commercial aviation is still by far one of the safest things that you can DO.

    Updates Orbital ATK OmegA Rocket Updates

    I never thought that we would get to the point where a major aerospace company announcing a new medium/heavy class launch vehicle would generate almost no interest in a spaceflight fan forum, but here we are. Market saturation.

    Catastrophic Engine failure on Southwest Airlines 737

    Well, in fairness a fan blade letting go and not being contained IS a lot.

    Catastrophic Engine failure on Southwest Airlines 737

    That's basically what it means when FAA/NTSB say that they are going to "launch an investigation." Not so much expert opinion as common sense.
