"I think Matt Lowne would launch a giant SSTO powered only by Thuds, put the entire station inside a cargo bay, and fly it to Eeloo and back for good measure."
<packbart>
Is Matt Lowne the Chuck Norris of KSP?
* packbart
should watch more Youtube
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
no, actually there is one better
<Althego>
or rather at least one
<Fluburtur>
there is still scott
<Althego>
yes, but
<Fluburtur>
bunch of kerbal chuck norris memes about him
<Althego>
i have to find the guy
<packbart>
Yeah, I heard about Scott Manley. There's even a mod that replaces the Mun with his face (or something similar)
<packbart>
or was that about Matt Lowne? I should check
<JVFoxy>
uff... some of the things people do in that game.. guess I'm still stuck in the more 'practical' side of things...
<packbart>
some interesting constructions, though. Massive Mammoth Clusters
<Althego>
i never had patience to design several gravity assist long time routes
<Althego>
mammoth clusters are a given :)
<Althego>
eventually the biggest tanks and engines are too small for the scale people build
<Althego>
even i always felt they are too small
<packbart>
I see that :)
<Althego>
ok, now we have one biger diameter available
<Althego>
or is that the expansion?
<packbart>
5m is in Making History
<packbart>
my ships are getting smaller. at first, I sent a small probecore on massive boosters to every planet, so I could look at the artwork ;)
<JVFoxy>
sometimes I think big giant crafts are a little over done... maybe something small, medium sized with a lot of practicality? I've done a few cool things, though maybe on a smaller scale.
<Althego>
not in case all joolian moons or eve (with surface return)

I would love to get something out to Jool, along with a fuel production plant/station thing.
<Althego>
dont miss the intersting spots :)
<Althego>
i still have to visit one, but being on tylo it is the hardest
<JVFoxy>
I've gotten to Duna once in sandbox... with a hastily thrown together 3 crew ship. Seeing if I could get back, ya... didn't wait long enough. Was more a thought experiment.

I keep wondering about doing ksp videos... I've a few ideas.. one of them looking back at things I created in past versions that I ended up liking and kind of miss.
<JVFoxy>
... or even forgotten about. :\

the case was glued on all around.. they worried if they pulled it off, it would break something else.

hehe, they took a module from a museum piece
<Althego>
and maybe it even works
<Althego>
so they can replace theirs with it
<Althego>
the museus shouldj ust let them use the working one
<Althego>
because they use it only for display
<Althego>
for that they could donate the not working one

would still have to test to see if its working condition
<Althego>
they tested it
<JVFoxy>
don't think they tested the whole thing, just the pins they were interested in
<JVFoxy>
I guess building a new one sorta out of the question?
<JVFoxy>
also 'uff'... *goes to desktop, tells PC to load KSP. Tries to go back to browser, desktop doesn't respond for 5 seconds. KSP splash screen shows. Goes to click secondary monitor desktop, KSP goes into background. Goes to click browser, browser pops up, but only for a few seconds as KSP jumps back up front. Click secondary again, then back to brows
<JVFoxy>
er when it shows* I guess I ask too much of things?
<JVFoxy>
ooops my bad... Hughes Aim-4 Falcon missile...
<Rokker>
we have... like 8 large missiles
<Fluburtur>
those are called rockets
<Rokker>
well 6 large missiles, 2 orbital rockets
<Rokker>
no
<Rokker>
they are called ICBMs
<JVFoxy>
most of what we have there is stuff from WWI and II Canadian related
<Rokker>
we have.... I think its 2 canadian planes
<Rokker>
one is a licensed hurricane
<Rokker>
the other is a CF-100 Canuck
<JVFoxy>
the regional airport further out from the museum, that gets a lot of commercial flights, has a CF-101 Voodoo on a stand just at the entrance.
<JVFoxy>
oh right.. they have a CF-100 too, forgot. There are some still flying craft took, T-6, Staggerwing (sponsored), Tigermoth.. Grummun tracker converted to water bomber by Conair, sits outside, retired, engines still run, don't they'll fly it again.
<Rokker>
JVFoxy: I mean I'm lucky enough to have the National Museum of the USAF so I'm a bit spoiled
<Althego>
what have i done
<JVFoxy>
F-104, I laugh when they say people have cut themselves on the wing edges... more like dull edges, not quite knife sharp
<JVFoxy>
think its a Cf-104.. its in green camo
<JVFoxy>
ya, I'm a little sad the Beech 18/C-45 is static now.. it was a skydiver plane for a bit before it was retired to the outdoor showroom
<Rokker>
JVFoxy: I literally cut myself on the HStab of the YF-23
<Rokker>
smacked into it too hard while trying to get a good pick of the XB-70
<JVFoxy>
who needs sharp.. I gashed myself pretty good on a re-bar pole sticking out of the ground as a kid.. was running along and next thing I know, on the ground bleeding from the side. old metal sitting in the woods, someone must have pulled up
<packbart>
jet wings at museums are dangerous things, especially in the dark ;)
