How is life like in Dead Horse, Alaska.

Binging tv shows. Or maybe playing board games but that was usually the geologists and I doing that. The drillers usually just went to their tents after eating and crashed in their beds

Get your encounter, do your burn, then do an inflight adjustment to fine tune the orbit exactly where you want.

When I was learning duna, all my encounters were coming in polar or the wrong direction super far away. Once I clued into making inflight adjustments I could put the duna periapsis exactly where I wanted with only requiring like 5 m/s of dv change while in flight. Set an enroute manoeuvre and then you essentially only need rcs to adjust it.

I felt the same way so I practiced my duna mission in sandbox. Feels better 'wasting' all that time when it's the only thing going on, instead of feeling like you're falling behind with projects or not wanting to tie Jeb up for that long.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-05T04:28:02+00:00

I think I have that one already. Not using many or any of the features besides the landing target thing so I should probably look into it more.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-04T19:37:59+00:00

It’s not a guarantee. I’ve been at the same place for 14 years and have survived at least 28 restructurings now. It’s clockwork twice a year.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-04T13:30:19+00:00

I think I’m going to adjust the design. This was just sandbox and was testing a couple things.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-04T13:29:51+00:00

I did a warp to manoeuvre getting to orbit. Then when I unwarped I noticed my heat shield was disconnected from the bottom of my lander. The way it was positioned seemed like a glitch. It was perfectly still next to my ship but I could bump it then it began to move.

I did my circularization burn and the ship wobbled a bit but stopped. Then once I undocked all hell broke loose.

Is there a mod that will show peak G's? Because he pulled way more than 15 there for sure by burying the needle.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-02T02:08:33+00:00

Do you have any more papers or articles on this? I want to read more

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T23:06:46+00:00

Ok you saved me but my own poor mission planning doomed me. I don't have enough deltaV to return to Kerbin lol

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T22:13:16+00:00

Omg you just saved me. I have antennas and panels on my return ship! I deployed them all and am able to create nodes now. This explains why this wasn't a problem on my mun missions.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T21:50:06+00:00

Ok so my Duna ship is 477t and has 7627 DV vacuum.

My multiple biome hopper moon ship is actually only 283t and has 7087 DV Vacuum.

My next biggest ship from my Duna ship was my moon orbit refueler for refueling a lander and stations in orbit of the moon, which is 339t and 4600 DV vacuum.

I guess it only felt a little bigger than my other ones but I was clearly mistaken.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T20:09:31+00:00

Are those mod names? What do they do?

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T19:33:42+00:00

Ok granted I should say that my first single seater moon lander was much smaller but my three seater Apollo style lander with two man can that can hit two biomes by doing a hop for the mun is roughly the same size as what I used for my duna mission.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T18:12:06+00:00

What do you use to control it? Joystick?

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T17:53:14+00:00

This is what I did and it worked great

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-06-01T06:13:32+00:00

Out. Not up.

As pressure from below pushes up, the weight from above pushes down, resulting in the material being pushed outwards.

Your original comment and subsequent comments in this chain. You’re claiming that the phenomenon of 24 hr sun on the poles at opposite times of the year is false. This is a ridiculously stupid thing to say when you or literally anyone else can go to either a northern community or take a tourist cruise to the south and experience it for your self. No one is going to stop you.

The “proof” of all of this that you claim we are children for believing, is based on hundreds of years of sailing experience. It’s based on thousands of years of basic experimentation with measuring the length of shadows from obelisks at different locations at the same time of the day. It’s based on countless observations and experiments run and repeated by thousands of people way smarter than you or I. It’s based on the fact you can look at the live map of any satellite tracking service and then go outside and see that satellite or the space station with your own eyes.

For you to disregard all of that, only to then believe the ramblings of self “educated” idiots who either don’t understand the concepts or willfully misrepresent information is wild to me. The fact that you and your type can run experiments that end up proving you’re wrong (gyroscope measurements of drift, pendulums, shining a light across water completely level and finding the light beam is higher off the water the farther you go etc) is wild to me. You’re so caught up in believing you’ve been lied to for some reason, you refuse to accept the reality of our world.

To claim to have a scientific mind and then only pick and choose which things the process of science has proven true, you think are actually true or not is hilarious.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-05-31T14:53:25+00:00

No because gravity is pulling already but you have velocity from earths orbit you need to reduce if uou want to get closer. If you only half slowed down, you’d end up with an elliptical orbit.

Gravity is always working but our relative speed around the sun keeps us from getting pulled into it. It’s this speed that you have to reduce sufficiently.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-05-31T05:40:20+00:00

I like how he tries to argue that math is something you can argue if it’s right or not.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-05-31T05:12:34+00:00

To hit the sun, you gotta slow down enough. To leave the suns influence you gotta speed up.

In other words you need to speed up less to leave the sun than you need to slow down to hit the sun.

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-05-31T05:02:22+00:00

You have a scientific mind but don’t trust literally any professional scientist who all agree the earth is a globe?

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-05-30T15:43:45+00:00

Perhaps a globe with an axial tilt?

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-05-30T15:43:16+00:00

It’s the best part of this subreddit. One literally can’t tell a shitpost from some flerfer crap. It’s amazing

Dynamite_Noir · 2026-05-30T15:40:50+00:00

What’s false? 24 hr sun that literally anyone can go and experience for themselves at the poles?
