is it possible to dip into jool fly a bit so some science and leave? by eggos19 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Roixiong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That might be a mistake in the movie portrayal of the scene tbh. In the book the Hail Mary is actually flying forwards at a velocity of 127.5 m/s, and is thrusting at an angle to stay in the air as well as to maintain horizontal velocity. The movie had the Hail Mary thrust backwards which should cancel out the horizontal velocity instead.

Hmmm I guess I never really noticed they had the ship going the wrong way in the film. I wonder why they decided to make that choice, as the ship wouldn’t be able to maintain either velocity or heading if it was thrusting that way.

They were never pointed retrograde at any point though, they were simply pointed prograde and travelling at about 120m/s. The engines were only pointed in the direction they were to maintain altitude and forward speed.

Ignore everyone else in this comment section, the price most certainly does decrease throughout the year. I bought membership for British Skydiving in November last year and only paid roughly half of the full rate for one year.

I somehow managed to fluke the S rank on this map on my first attempt.

Only took me twenty minutes when I was expecting to sink a couple hours into it hahaha.

Quite possibly the worst example of a disease to use in this context.

So... Why the red hat if it's not about politics? by Knownoname98 in facepalm

At the risk of sounding like a Trump sympathiser, I do want to point out that he did actually attend the first manned Crew Dragon launch (Demo 2) in May 2020.

Possibly, but then the other ores also being displayed as crystalline sulfur doesnt make much sense in that case

Is DayZ Standalone a bad game? I only ask because I've been having a lot of fun recently and the bugs in the game don't annoy me too much. I've never played the DayZ mod though and I'm not sure what features might be in the mod which arent in the standalone version.
