    It’s weird to think that the spacecraft is older than some of those who are working on this project. Younger ones may have had learn code no longer taught.

    As you said, the vagus nerve is like a bundle of wires, much like a data cable or a phone cable. It’s not too hard to imagine ’cross-talk’ between fibers. Anyway, it’s probably not a bad thing to get nauseous and puke when dizzy. It be like the brain is saying ‘Hey, I’m getting f****d up up...

    Was someone looking for "Go Play In Space"?

    Xyon gave them the link to the copy posted in the wiki. The original question here https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/gpis-link-broken.41666/

    Question Anybody know which base this is?

    I have landed manually many times, really not that hard once you get the hang of it, but With HoverMFD, I find that as I approach in the last few km, slowly drop the brake rate percentage, maybe 10 % every couple or so km. That forces the horizontal velocity down as you approach, ending up...

    Orbiter 2024 Launch readiness

    One thing that would be nice in some future update is that I really like the land/dock light in the DG. Perhaps someday the light could be added to the Shuttle-A and -B, and particularly the Martin’s Dragonfly. This would facility docking even in the dark to modules, etc. I like using the...

    I guess the same industry not so far from home would be Longshoreman or Truck Driver.

    MFD Parking Brake MFD

    Yeah, occasionally, an autopilot leaves the hovers or the mains on a wee bit, so after auto or manual thrusting, I frequently press the numeric . For a couple seconds and press the numeric * to make sure both are actually off. It’s really weird after using orbit escape and fast forward to...

    Flight Question Center of Gravity and Control

    As long as it is a fairly close rendezvous, within 30 km or so, and you’re not in a big hurry, Pursuit works wonderfully well. I’ve captured a few of Martin’s tube and cube modules and delivered them to the ISS. The Shuttle-A gets pretty sluggish if more than 5 or 6 are attached. Pursuit has...

    I remember seeing Echo 2 as a teenager a couple of times. Didn’t have heavens-above or anything, just had to be looking at the right place at the right time in them days. It was even visible when not quite dark.
