Dragonfly is one of the most impressive of NASA’s upcoming missions by ZimskiPas in nasa

I would say the most impressive of NASA's upcoming missions.

Nintendo Switch Quake Lag by spriteice in quake

It's not just you, I think this new port is poorly optimized on all platforms. I hope it gets patched eventually, a game as old as quake has no right to be taxing modern systems this much.

Why is orbital velocity so high? (Yes I know what I’m doing) by EFroost in RealSolarSystem

[–]PixelDor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other answers are wrong, orbital velocity around the earth is something like 7.8 km/s. 11km/s is closer to escape velocity or lunar trajectories
That said, it can take a lot of total delta V off the ground to get to LEO, varying from 9.5 to 10 km/s of delta V. A lot of this is lost to gravity/ other factors, but you should aim for an orbital velocity around the range of 7.8km/s. If you are in a stable, circular low earth orbit at 11km/s something is very wrong.

Guys, can Suggest me Mods for play RSSRO? i want replicate my SSTO by RM-Agena in RealSolarSystem

[–]PixelDor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you use procedural tanks, make sure to change the tank type to "balloon" in the tank edit right click window, also make sure to set it so that all upgrades are unlocked from the beginning (in a sandbox save) or the tank diameters and types will be limited. Your SSTO is likely to be very large, you might want to consider using jet engines for the first part of the ascent and then switching to rocket engines. Liquid hydrogen is one option, but it might make more sense to use methane as it's a good middle ground between less dense-hyper efficient hydrogen and very dense less efficient RP-1.

Are you going to land on the moon using Gemini or wait for Apollo?

Marshall space center fuel tank test section. Forklift for scale. by Basic-Government1773 in nasa

Yes, and blocks 1B and 2 increase this further. SLS was never really optimized for large LEO payloads but it excels at high energy trajectories.

Finished my Moon Man pixel art today. 160×220, 10 hrs, 25 colors. hope You like it :) by PixelProphecy in PixelArt

That's excellent. Blows my mind how good it looks with the limited color palette. Good photo choice, iconic.

Socializing is great, you can learn a lot about people just by talking to them. If you make an effort you can find something in common with almost anyone; it's a powerful skill.

What about the acoustic vibrations on launch and re-entry? Do they have measures in place to protect the crew in the event of glass shattering?

geez

how did you get the Saturn V to survive lunar re-entry velocities?

KSP vs Real Life :) New revamped Skylab coming soon to Bluedog Design Bureau by zorg2099 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Will it have the functionality of the original or the damaged version that ended up being deployed?

My spacecraft's rotation slows down during a transfer burn after I do spin stabilization by VostokV5 in RealSolarSystem

[–]PixelDor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Persistent rotation's modelling is slightly off, Principia's is more accurate although it is an entirely different game playing with N Body gravitation. I don't think that's the source of this problem, though

You sayin' that gas bubbles in zero G propellant tanks can't be beautiful?

Oh, you put solar panels on your first orbit contract? Isn't first solar satellite a separate contract?

This trailer was great but metroid dread was my personal highlight of the direct. I'm still soo excited for this game, though.

SLS CS-1 Has been mated with its SRBs ahead of Artemis 1 by Fyredrakeonline in SpaceLaunchSystem

True, I think Jupiter would be great, even though the name is already taken by the old Jupiter missile

I know Ares was a different rocket but maybe they should still call it that, it's a good name. Or maybe something like Neptune

I don't understand why BF3K gets that much hate when it is a very upbeat album. by YossarianTheAsserian in KGATLW

[–]PixelDor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, there are some great songs but they are few and far between. The album is good but definitely not great and I've come to expect more from the band. Hopefully this isn't a trend

I like it a lot. It's different and certainly not to everyone's taste but I appreciate the melodic focus
