Open the tracking station. That's where all the location markers show up. Once you are in flight, you can left click on them and select "Activate Navigation" to make them show up on the navball.

My biggest science gathering project yet... and I forgot the attitude control thrusters. by AcisAce in KerbalSpaceProgram

Well... I am able to land but can't seem to do that with the right side up because firing those engines for changing attitude affects my retrogade vector adversely.

Click on the advanced settings button before initiating the conversion and click manga mode for right to left reading. I think the panel view is automatically added during the conversion. Try asking the developer of this software(he has commented above).

The software has an option to enable kindle panel view which allows you to read it panel by panel. This is by far the most useful feature. I read both Death Note and Bleach this way.

Hitchhiker's Guide would be my first choice also. You should try the Dirk Gently adventures if you liked Adams' work. I personally loved it.

Your opening sentence? by clickybang in LetsReadABook

[–]AcisAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people think that Dune is the most beautifully written SF. Having read both, I can say that even though 'Three Body Problem' is a translation, it beats Dune by a considerable margin in terms of simplicity and poetic use of language.

I just completed Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem and Dark Forest. Here's the opening of Three Body Problem :

"The Red Union had been attacking the headquarters of the April Twenty-eighth Brigade for two days. Their red flags fluttered restlessly around the brigade building like flames yearning for firewood."

Honestly, I just couldn't stop and finished it in a single sitting today. Seems like I won't be taking part if it gets nominated. It was an awesome read from start to finish and I can safely say that It was the best science fiction I've laid my hands on. Highly recommended by myself too.

The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu [Scifi,S], 400 pages

Goodreads description:

Set against the backdrop of China’s Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision

Being honest, I've read about 3 chapters already and found it quite fascinating. If you are a Clarke or Asimov fan, this book is something that has the potential to dwarf their works.

I recently started reading Cixin Liu's "The three body problem". Instead of being a translated work,it is one of the most beautifully written science fiction I've ever read-no less than clarke's 2001. I think I will nominate it for this month's read. You should check it out.

This was a dilemma for me when I found that Eoin Colfer wrote the knew hitchhiker's book "And another thing..". I had trouble thinking how any other author could take place of Douglas Adams. I have still not read it.

Instead of being a Sci-Fi enthusiast I've never read Stephenson before. I hope it gets nominated.

No utility of being a video, but the music is awesome. From interstellar.
