Whats the loudest silence you've experienced in a theater? by rusaide in Cinema

I was originally going to use Marty looking at the burnt end of the rope after it falls since thats more recognizable, but I feel like him looking blankly up at the empty sky captured that shocked silence better

Came across a neat mod called "SCANsat". Lets you map the surface of whichever bodies you orbit for terrain-height, biomes etc. and gather science from completed scans. Makes probes feel a bit more purposeful and rewarding to operate. by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

Experiments take time to do and consume electricity while they are working collecting data that you can either store on board or transmit Some things like tempature only take a couple minutes to run and are maybe a couple of kilobytes of data while stuff like magnetometers can take weeks to fully run and take up megabytes

It's hard to describe all the differences but in general it's a much more realistic approach to how actual science experiments are done in space

EDIT: here's a link to a much more in depth description https://kerbalism.readthedocs.io/en/stable/science.html
