<GregroxMun>
yes, but through removing some useless bits of config
<GregroxMun>
I'll install the new Kopernicus when it is released, I don't want to accidentally release something that doesn't work.
<GregroxMun>
I wonder if it would be harder or easier for floater life to evolve on warm gas giants versus cool gas giants.
<GregroxMun>
because there;s more sunlight to use to heat your internal hydrogen, but at the same time the air is warmer.
<GregroxMun>
It's conceivable that continuously ornithopter-propelled animals could fly in the thicker parts of a low-gravity giant's atmosphere.
<GregroxMun>
A jovian planet with less mass than Saturn but more mass than Uranus or Neptune, for instance.
<GregroxMun>
But they would have to eat constantly as there is no where to perch but a ride downwards.
<GregroxMun>
If the gas giant has a denser atmosphere, perhaps with a higher concentration of helium and denser gasses, a creature could purify hydrogen out of the atmosphere and use that for lift.

ok, yesterday I saw Life and I was hoping it was good but it turned out to be awful
<Sigma88>
now I'm watching "a million ways to die in the west"
<Sigma88>
which I had really no expectations for
<GregroxMun>
what was wrong with Life, aside from that it was unrealistic?
<Sigma88>
and it's turning out to be pretty good
<Sigma88>
it was so unrealistic that it annoyed me
<Sigma88>
and I usually have no issues with movies taking some "poetic license" with science
<Sigma88>
I also didn't like the alien thing
<Sigma88>
I mean aestetically
<Sigma88>
I did not enjoy the movie at all, except for one thing
<Sigma88>
which I found very cool
<Sigma88>
I don't want to spoil it in case you want to see the movie
<GregroxMun>
Idea: Kerbocentric Planet Pack which puts Kerbin at the center of the universe (aside from the Sun itself) and all of the planets and moons orbit Kerbin. Jool is shrunk to Kerbin's size, and Kerbin is grown to Jool's size and I won't be seeing the movie.
<GregroxMun>
actually I could put a star in a distant orbit around Kerbin so that the poor lighting doesn't become a problem.
<GregroxMun>
Make the sun bright but small.
<GregroxMun>
All of this totally unrealistic of course.
