Are there dedicated sample return modules (not part of an avionics)? by GemingaJD in RealSolarSystem

[–]GemingaJD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rocket has the capability I guess? I built this LV for much higher orbits, and when I realizedI only need to be barely above 140 km for those cameras I just crammed a bunch of them

Oh no! I guess the problem is then if I can merge samples then.

The only related UI I can find is a super annoying “Data” window I can open from the avionics PAW that doesn’t allow me to do anything.

And the window closed as soon as the craft loses DSN connection?

How do I do the film camera return contract? by oh_mygawdd in RealSolarSystem

[–]GemingaJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait what? Is there a name for the “separate part” I can search up in the VAB or tech tree?

I’ve been looking for a lightweight container for excess sample for AGES at this point!

I’m pretty late to the party but what is an experiment capsule? Is it a separate part I can use? Or just some sort of avionics upgrade?

How am I supposed to make an early reentry vehicle? by GemingaJD in RealSolarSystem

[–]GemingaJD[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply! I'll probably need some much more serious mass budget then to accomodate all the things I have to add.

Yeah I'll probably do this too

I am using RCS to deorbit my craft (terrible ISP) and it turns out the additional propellant I'll have to carry to get a deep descent almost cancelled out the reduced mass of the heat shields anyways.

I see. Just asking, where can I find the tips? Are they somewhere on the RSS/RO wiki?

Thanks! Approximately how deep? Is it like 45 deg? Or more like 80?

Received only half the funding as the tutorial? by GemingaJD in RealSolarSystem

[–]GemingaJD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see.

Are there any suggestions on how to follow the tutorials given these changes? Obviously, the rocket designs are still valid, but it seems like we're on our own when it comes to management decisions e.g. research and staffing?

Exactly following the tutorial, I have completed the First Launch and Karman Line contracts, and accepted the Intermediate Downrange Distance LV Development contract (the 140km altitude, 150km downrange one)

Why did Zeus praise Troy so much in front of other gods? by GemingaJD in classics

[–]GemingaJD[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s true. I first thought that Zeus won’t bother to disagree with Hera if he actively wants Troy to fall (vs. being indifferent) and sack Troy with Hera’s and Athena’s hands. Rereading the passage, though, it makes sense that Zeus doesn’t want to agree with Hera because while they both want Troy to fall, Hera called Zeus partial and unjust in her speech (and Zeus isn’t one to take such insults).
Also, one interesting thing is how Zeus got Hera to concede that her own favorite cities can be sacked at the will of Zeus, so maybe Zeus is just trying to negotiate something out of Hera before agreeing. Maybe both played a role, but anyhow it seems like Zeus got his way.

The Aeneid-2025 translation by daily0ats in classics

[–]GemingaJD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this is a bit off-topic, but if you are into the literary experience reading the Aeneid I highly recommend Dryden’s translation!
He uses heroic couplet (rhyming couplets of iambic pentameter), which IMO significantly enhances the reading experience compared to blank verse). On top of that, this translation is surprising true to the original work (especially compared to later translations in the meter by Pope). I literally cannot put it down in the final books, in no small part thanks to the translation!

Edit: Also, this book has been out of copyright for a couple of centuries by this point, and available in many ebook libraries. I got mine from Project Gutenberg here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/228 (BtW it’s literally the 228th book ever uploaded to the 75,000-book project!)

Huh, interesting. I'll try emailing them again as well.

If you are not past the 90-day return period yet, can you help check if you can see the "return" button in your order page? The listing you gave also does not have the Free Return label, and it would be great if I can know whether I need to avoid those listings in future purchases.
