ATK lobbyists force you to add more boosters. For all intensive porpoises, the mission was a success.

Due to a clerical error, you sent the letters to Santa back home (instead of the science report.) An alien furry nuzzles you affectionately.
<Eddi|zuHause>
... what exactly did you wish for in this letter? :p
<packbart>
so, uh, have you been naughty or not?
<Eddi|zuHause>
in a typical... err... "movie"... the next line would be "i've been naughty" :p

You attempt to build a ship in a magnetic bottle. You exhaust Kerbin's entire snack supply.

man ate em all while working on it eh
<Eddi|zuHause>
either the supply of snacks was already very low, or...
<Althego>
it was a giga project
<Eddi|zuHause>
the largest bottle ship ever? :p

big enough that its no challenge. just enter it yourself and build ship lol

Put a class I comet into orbit of Gilly. You encounter an alternative mission outcome midflight.

the alternative outcome is enabling 3-body-physics? :p

New text is: You put a class I comet into orbit of Gilly.

or many body problem, using ship parts

the step from orbit-on-rails to 3-body-physics is much bigger than 3 to many bodys

back in university we had a joke: "in a lecture about 7-dimensional space, the engineers and physicists were struggling, while the mathematician was fine. when asked how he handled this complex stuf, he replied: 'just imagine it in arbitrary dimensions, then 7 is just a special case'"
<XXCoder>
Eddi|zuHause: I know lol was joking about ship exploding :)
<Althego>
feynmann had a similar joke like this
<Althego>
that the athematician is always about the general solution, the physicists is always about a specific solution, because the latter is about reality. so the mathematician gives him the formula and says just substitute n=3. later the physicist comes back, so when you were talking about 4 dimensions...

Althego: what often happens is some mathematician made up some formulas just for the lulz, and then 100 years later someone comes along, "i had this problem, and this 100 year old formula solves it"
<Althego>
that is what usually happens
<Althego>
the mathematician is there in their own world, and does stuff with all the imaginary things
<Eddi|zuHause>
especially in computer science, where lots of the logic like boolean algebra predates computers
<Althego>
and then somebody comes along, and realizes that seemingly useless pimaginary thing is good for some problem

You harpoon a rubber ducky. Jeb having fun.

that outcome a verb.

Obviously the outcome is like that one TNG episode with the aliens constantly referencing random things
<raptop>
Werhner, when the boosters overheated
<Eddi|zuHause>
Jeb, when the rubber ducky was harpooned?
<Eddi|zuHause>
i think that episode showed well the limits of a "plot device" such as a universal translator. the translator could translate the words themselves, but it failed to grasp the real meaning of the sentence
<Azander>
yep
<Azander>
That's no moon, it's a space station
<raptop>
Anyway, the rubber ducky being harpooned is a very silly indirect reference to the Rosetta mission
<Eddi|zuHause>
well, the harpoons didn't work...
