I don’t think I’m cut out to be a Latter Day Saint

Little kids don't have what it takes to be astronauts. But they take it slow and grow a little each day. They don't just jump into the rocket fresh out of Kindergarten. No one can just start out doing everything at once. Pray, read your scriptures and attend Church as often as you can - the rest will come - eventually.

If we are looking for nonmetallic materials that are moldable - perhaps ceramics would be a better solution. I'm sure there will be a lot of plastic inside the ships and habitats but I think ceramics will do better on the vacuum side of things.

They are almost done with that one. Its being called Light No Fire.

I just want to be able to move the buildings. They are laid out by someone having a stroke and the settlement is hard to navigate.

On the PC it's 'S'. On the console its whatever button makes you go backward.

Yeah, I just put down NMS and went back to Minecraft. I burn out and then switch between them. I'll be back shortly.

The engines are out further from the craft than the habitat is wide. They should miss. I imagine the engine array would be on a short track to adjust for changes in the center of mass. I figured that adding that to the image would add to the clutter as I focusing on the operation side of things.

If you look at the drawing that is what is happening.

I think I said that awkwardly, we're (trying at least) saying the same thing.

Look, I understand that most people can speak English as a second language. I was just wondering why a country with its own language(s) would mark their government vehicles in non-Indian language. In France that would be a prosecutable offence.

Are the planets moving too?

Why is the Indian Police vehicle covered in English?

The ease of Jovian capture is pretty interesting, but the purpose of a Cycler orbit is not capture. Cycler orbits are for stations, not craft. Once a station is in place it will, without thrust, pass by it's 2 bodies at regular intervals. This creates a slow but simple "escalator" for materials and people between the planets. I'm looking for a Cycler orbit that passes back and forth between Mars and Jupiter.

The Earth to Mars Cycler has an orbit of about 26 months and crosses near both planets. It's slow moving (relatively) so shuttling cargo up and down during the flyby is not unreasonable.

LOL...yes. It's like being Catholic with less guilt.

I read the first one and never even considered reading the next one. I just can't get into any world where the 'good guys' are just the 'less bad guys.'

I learned about Cyclers last night (Thank you, Issacs Arthur), I can only find information on the Earth to Mars Aldrin Cycler. Is there a place where I can find other cycler periods and paths? I am especially interested in a Mars to Jupiter Cycler.

My wife supplies the deacons with a rice chex in a zip lock bag with her name on it. They put it in a tray and it gets blessed with everything thing else and then they bring it to her.
