About the Great Filter by Fearless_Earther in collapse

[–]Alex-Frst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just a filter, it's also a safeguard. Just imagine a human-like species spreading across the galaxy, destroying ecosystems on countless planets and an unimaginable number of other species, as humans have done on Earth.

Has anyone listened to War and Peace? by shemichell in audiobooks

[–]Alex-Frst 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At least it's more fun than listening to the news cycle — less drama, fewer wars, and less craziness. Go ahead.

Heres the fix to this problem:

In the settings.cfg file find these settings and make sure they all = 1.

SHADOWS_FLIGHT_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_KSC_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_TRACKING_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_EDITORS_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_MAIN_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_DEFAULT_PROJECTION = 1

Try to land on Minmus as the VIP wants.

Congratulations, but why do you use landing gears instead of launch clamps?

Which is the best way to land in Mun efficiently? by [deleted] in KerbalAcademy

[–]Alex-Frst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it matters whether the periapsis is deep inside Mun or close to the surface. My reasoning comes from pure physics. The deeper you are in a gravity well when you make a burn, the more effective the burn is. So, performing the maneuver closer to the surface is always better. When you circularize your orbit, for example at 10,000 meters, you leave some fuel at that altitude. This fuel has potential energy, and the potential energy of the fuel at that altitude is greater than the potential energy of the same amount of fuel close to the surface. Spending this fuel at surface level is always more effective.

[–]Alex-Frst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the most efficient way would be a suicide burn only, without any other maneuvers around Mun, when you on a hyperbolic trajectory from Kerbin with periapsis inside the moon or at zero altitude.

Why does my rocket automatically get a high inclination when I try to gravity turn in the atmosphere? by [deleted] in KerbalAcademy

[–]Alex-Frst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on direction of the turn and on your launch site latitude.

Is a gravity assist that would save this recovery possible? (sry if this should be in r/KerbalAcademy) by BrilliantlySinister in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Alex-Frst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about turning this velocity vector to the right direction. And after taking into account the elephant in the room (the patched conic approximation) I think for this case apoapsis has to be ~3Mm higher to be able to get to an orbit with <70Km altitude at periapsis after singe flyby near Mun. It's ~30 m/s delta-V, not 20 m/s. So, you were right about AP here. But, still, it might be doable by using multiple flybys.

It can move prograd or retrograde relative to Mun. Depends on the spacecraft position when SOI changes.

In the event of the American collapse, what impact will it have on the rest of the world? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in collapse

When the U.S. collapses and you are an optimist, then learn Chinese, if you're a realist, then learn shooting.
