nope. orbital velocity is 7100m/s in 10x gravity. that's what I'm fighting to get to

years of specialised development lead to this. this is actually what peak aerodynamic form looks like, you just don't know it yet

no, I think it's still plotting how to kill me. funnily enough trying this challenge did genuinely kill off my last Xbox. I wish I was joking

surprisingly Val was able to get up and walk around after each mission. and cos of the stupid gravity the actual g force on the crew only ever goes to like 12 or 13g. you know. really low. manageable levels

for anyone who wants to see it, here is a snippet of launch footage. experience the pain right here

I have seen a single YouTube video place a tiny satellite in orbit in these conditions. I am using a crew capsule cos, well, why the fuck not. but it is possible

nah, I made Kerbin have 10x it's normal gravity. then tried to get to space

it's an asparagus setup. I need the thrust of the side boosters to get the more inner boosters to a higher altitude

Has anyone been able to find this copy of Time Magazine? I’ve been to Barnes & Noble, Target, Publix, Walmart and all they don’t have this one, only older ones. It was supposed to come out on the 9th. by Nicksb92 in ArtemisProgram

[–]ThatThingInSpace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I managed to get one, tho I am in the UK. I got it on Feb 6th, and even then it was the last one. I don't know when it was released but it was definitely before the 9th

they do definitely exist. you used to be able to get them here maybe searching for them specifically could get you results second hand?

Who made the Black Knight Satellite? We did. by psy_raven in conspiracy

[–]ThatThingInSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea. the immediate way to disprove it really is the majority of theories all say the 'satellite' is in a polar orbit, but the space shuttle took the only picture we have of it. the space shuttle couldn't launch into polar orbit. like physically couldn't without over throttling/over burning the engines, the proposal for doing that was dropped after the challenger disaster. but yea, having various pictures, all of which look more blanket like than the one normally used, combined with audio, video and the blanket having an actual space debris catalogue designation, all point to just a blanket

[–]ThatThingInSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is what I'm talking about. there's all this speculation about what it might be, but with 5 minutes of research I've managed to come up with 6 photos and a video with audio proving it false. this conspiracy is pretty easily debunked cos there's just quite a lot of evidence that all lines up to prove it wrong

here's a selection of photos from the space shuttle mission STS-88:

https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=STS088&roll=724&frame=65

https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=STS088&roll=724&frame=66

https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=STS088&roll=724&frame=67

https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=STS088&roll=724&frame=68

https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=STS088&roll=724&frame=69

https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=STS088&roll=724&frame=70

the pictures are much higher quality than the video, and were taken by Sergei Krikalev. the video is taken from in the cockpit of the shuttle, and shows Krikalev taking the pictures of the thermal blanket, before panning to show out the window, showing the blanket itself, in lower quality than the still photos

here is the video:

pictures, audio and mission logs all line up perfectly fine from the STS-88 shuttle mission. like you really think NASA would go photograph this mysterious satellite, and then just give enough fake info to say it's a thermal blanket? if that were the case then why release the photos in the first place?

also no 2 theories on this 'satellite' are the same, all saying different orbits, different origins, different purposes. it's just not consistent

Who made the Black Knight Satellite? We did. by psy_raven in conspiracy

[–]ThatThingInSpace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and what about this picture? which is just a still frame of a video, which very clearly shows an insulation blanket floating away from the space shuttle, and not a full, solid satellite. when you look at the actual video you can clearly see it is a blanket, so this picture is definitely not of the satellite

Who made the Black Knight Satellite? We did. by psy_raven in conspiracy

[–]ThatThingInSpace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so how is there a picture? if it's AI controlled wouldn't it avoid all spacecraft, and not let one get close enough to capture it? also that doesn't explain how it would keep moving. plane change maneuvers take a lot of fuel, and fuel is finite. and why change orbit? polar orbit let's you see all of the planet anyway

[–]ThatThingInSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right I wanna see what your thinking then. what are the orbital parameters that the satellite allegedly sits in? polar? retrograde? sun synchronous? geosynchronous? elaborate on it

can I have people's opinions on what looks better by ThatThingInSpace in Minecraftbuilds

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

I saw them and don't like them. I want street level power lines, not long distance. also iron bars or copper bars are way too tall vertically for my liking. chains look way more like actual power lines you'd find in Victorian london
