    News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.

    Looking back at the Starhopper tests, those didn't seem to kick up enormous amounts of debris. Also it was mainly the insane amount of thrust from the first stage that caused the crater, not the upper Starship stage. The latter will also be landing mainly in lower-gravity environments too.

    Problem Starship Payload Orientation

    I'm having a problem attaching the TransHab module to to starship. I use the included spacecraft manager, which includes the option to attach and detach payloads along with setting the launch autopilot, etc. However, the module sticks out of the side of the spacecraft, and changing the...

    News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.

    Does Pad 39 at KSC use a freshwater system? If so do they just get it from the surrounding swamps or truck it in? I can see the concern with using a seawater system being the corrosion on piping, but that could be mitigated with better piping materials. Unless a good amount of water vapor indeed...

    Wonderful! I always thought of Pelee Island as a great spot for a future spaceport. The residents would probably disagree greatly... 😂 Will you publicly release it once it is complete? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Question How did you get into Orbiter Sim?

    When I was younger I got interested in space exploration. After many hours, weeks, months of watching space-related stuff on YouTube, I stumbled upon one of rseferino's videos. Eventually I wound up downloading Orbiter 2010 P1 myself, just a few days after its release! After a long time of just...

    OHM DarkEnergy Spaceplane

    Hello Max-Q! Loving the spaceplane! Definitely adds a great realism element to the simulation and makes LEO flights exciting again. I'm having an issue regarding my ascent. Just before MECO and first stage separation, I get a MCS LV alarm, and after 1st stage separation my controls all lock up...

    Project Shuttle-A Mk.IX

    One thing that I would like to suggest for the new Shuttle-A are realistic fuel parameters. I can't imagine that a spacecraft of that size would have enough fuel to travel in between planets, or between Earth and Moon in fact, without refueling.

    Question Disablement of Reactions

    While recently browsing, I have noticed that the "heart" reaction seems to have been disabled on the forums. I also remember that up until about a year ago or so, the "laugh" or "smile" reaction was available and seemingly removed without notice as well. I was wondering what the rationale was...

    Looking great! I would recommend some kind of adjustment to the atmosphere as well. That unnatural arc of color has bothered me since I installed O2016.

    Hooray for the $20 billion money pit! Can someone remind me what exactly was the necessity of developing SLS in the first place?

    Looking great! BTW do you know if those legs were designed to retract or are they meant to stay in a single position?

    Sounds like you would like something along the lines of Józef Piłsudski's "Intermarium" idea. Somewhat of a revival of the old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth but expanded to even more countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermarium As for NATO expansion, I heard the argument that it is due...
