It was just meant to be an idle discussion thread... The sarcasm and jokes are okay...

Wow... Yes, life would have to be very slow, unless there were some sort of chemical source of energy. And with those temperature ranges, that's like a 10 degree margin of error before any creature would boil away... That scary, actually.

Imagine if, during its' flyby in 2015, New Horizons returned evidence of life? How would the life be detected? What might it look like? What would its' lifecycle or metabolism be like? (I understand that there's almost a 100% chance of nothing like this happening, but it sounds like a fun...

Oh, okay. Cool!

Wow, thanks! And yea, balancing the power draw is the easiest part of this... :blush: Does excess power turn into heat or does it magically vanish into the onboard black hole?

Hello, would someone be so kind as to direct me to a spreadsheet or specifications list, of what each module produces and consumes, as well as how much each human consumes per time unit? I have no idea, for the most part, of how to balance power generation with power draw...

WOW I just installed the 3 XR's and compared to Ye Olde DG-IV, they're friggin' amazing! [/enthusiasm] And they are almost impossible to get to another plant with. Either I run out of gas halfway through setting up the intercept, or I run out of LOX on the way. Right now trying to make an XR5...

OK, I was kind of expecting that. I'll take a look around the hangar and see if I can't find the other missing stuff, too.

Kinda new here, decided to download & install this, but I'm having a bit of a problem with the Titan series (and others, maybe). I launch the Titan IIL scenario, and the world loads fine, but when it tries to get the Titan's Vessel Config file, it crashes. Here's the last bit of the error log...

What? You mean I'm actually doing good? Not to be cocky, but once I figured out the Transfer MFD it was easy getting there. Of course, I bet it would be harder doing it from Earth's SOI. I broke into a solar orbit before doing the transfer. Oh, and thanks for the nasa link!

Hi, you can call me Spud, Spuddy, whatever you want, as long as it is vaguely similar to my name. I've been messing around with Orbiter for about a week (And am hooked), and I've been lurking the forums for about 2 days of that. So far, I know about/how to: Get Delta Glider and Shuttle-A...
