    News Who watched EFT-1?

    Unfortunately I could not wake early enough for the launch, so I only saw the replay an hour or so after the fact. I got to watch the reentry from interface to splashdown live, though. The view from the UAV was really cool. :)

    From the above linked image gallery: I didn't mean to say that it was naturally or currently hollow, just that the asteroids are real, and apparently possible to excavate. It's doubtful anything shown in this video will ever happen, that's why it's all speculative.

    He mentions outside of the video that the colony is actually in the hollowed interior of the asteroid shown in the previous shot. He got the idea from Kim Stanley Robinson, who called it a terrarium. So while it is still a very fictional concept, it is technically still a real place in the...

    Beautiful! I may have teared up slightly. The associated gallery of stills is full of prime wallpaper material, by the way.

    So there's a trailer for the new Star Wars out. I continue to be unimpressed.

    A still from one of the effects scenes: Is... is that dust on the ranger's prow? If so, wow. CGI is remarkable these days.

    Refitted Explorator I: Beforehand, the section rear of the docking collars was a single propellant tank and single engine. A small lander and utility vehicle will be launching soon to complete the exploration set. Explorator III is in the design phase, intended for prospecting Eve...

    Gaming The Kerbal Space Program - Version 1.2.x

    The propellant tanks are KW parts. There are also some Kethane parts near the prow of the ship. I separately launched the engine module, propellant tanks, and habitat/utility module. I was pretty impatient, so the launchers are basically all hideous asparagus strut contraptions. I actually got...

    From the point of view of using Orbiter and MFD as a VM and not a space simulator, yes, waste. :P

    Sort of meta, in the same sense that any VM is. The main difference is that this one wastes a lot of potential efficiency on simulating space in the background. :P

    Interstellar - The Movie

    Overpowering wind organ arpeggios with Inception-y theatricals, to describe it reductively. It sounds lame, but the effect was a little awesome. 'Dark underground electronic' wouldn't have really fit at all, IMO.

    Explorator II, commanded by Ordos Kerman, with Jebediah and Sean Kerman as pilots, and the twin scientists Bobrey and Bobsy, is currently undergoing testing around Minmus. Fully loaded, it has just under 12,000 m/s of Dv, discounting the Dv of the landers. The Kerbal think tank is mulling over...
