Okay, here's the shoulder patch

What is the Latin supposed to translate into?

Also, I'm in the process of making a cleaner .png version.

Homo eneus astra means "Man is made of stars"--a good reason to study a star up close
Thanks. A cleaner version would look nice.

You're welcome.

I asked because Google Translate translated eneus as "brazen".

Can I also add the Mercury symbol (☿) somewhere in the patch?

 

[TMac3000]

Oh dear:facepalm:
Man is a brazen star? Doesn't quite make sense.

Yes, the Mercury symbol would be quite nice

Hi! I've been thinking about use some datas of the SDO, SOHO and STEREO to simulate some daily updates of the solar mission...

 

[Pipcard]

Just one more question: What do you want the hull color to be on the Arrows and XR5s?

Do you know Latin or did you use a translator (which one)?

 

[TMac3000]

An Arrow in that steel-blue shade of the default Vanguard would be very nice.
And a red and white skin like NASA's T-38s would look good on the Vanguard.

I don't know Latin, beyond the words I can guess through intuition. I just googled "latin man is made of stars" or something like that. I found a phrase that they said meant "made of brass", but I couldn't figure out which word meant "made" and which word meant "brass"

Does anyone know the correct Latin for the phrase I wanted?

I searched "T-38 nasa" on Google Images and all I got was white T-38s with a blue stripe on them."

Does anyone know the correct Latin for the phrase I wanted?

I translated "Man is made of stars" in Google Translate, getting "Homo stellarum" ("Man of the stars")

So, I played around with the alternate translations, and got
"Homo fit stellarum" (which translates back into "Man is made of stars")

I always do a round-trip translation to check.

Also, I might have to make the skins tomorrow. Don't worry, there's lots of time.
Nevermind, I think I can do it today.

The patch is updated.

But there's another problem: You can only have one Arrow skin at a time.

 

[Pipcard]

Since you can't have two Arrow skins at the same time, there are no names on this skin. (However, you can call them Odyssey and Columbus in the scenario file)

I will do the XR5s tomorrow.

Man(kind) is made of stars (constellations):

HOMONES EX STELLARIS FIUNT

Ack:facepalm:I thought I remembered the one in Flight Gear being red and white, but white with a touch of blue is fine.

@Pipcard: I just have to stop and say thanks for that awesome Arrow skin:thankyou:

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the Vanguard

The Mercury launch has been rescheduled for May 12, because IMFD told me to though the lunar mission will still start as scheduled on April 2

And happy early birthday, Felipi1205 (ha, I finally spelled your name right:lol:
Should be one hell of a present

 

[Felipi1205]

Yes! IMFD I love you! My best birthday!

(ha, I finally spelled your name right)

I'll create the surface base logo now... As the crew selection for the base is complete, I can do it!

 

[TMac3000]

Two perhaps? One for the geology team, and one for the Solar team. As the base commander, I'll be wearing the shoulder patch that Pipcard and I came up with

 

[Felipi1205]

OK! I'm creating the Solar Team patch...

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Very simple, I used the same pictures of the "poster". If you want different pictures, just call me...

 

[TMac3000]

I'm curious to know if anyone tried out the base mockup scenario at White Sands?

 

[mojoey]

not yet, I've been a little tied up as of late. I'll get around to it this weekend

 

[Felipi1205]

The Geology Patch!

If you want anything changed, please tell me!

 

[TMac3000]

Love both ground patches:speakcool: Good job, guys!
And Pipcard, I offer you the job of PR guru. This isn't hugely public as it's still in the planning stages, so you won't have anything to do press-wise for the moment, but I enormously appreciate your work on the ceremonial details

And Felipi1205 I like your idea about getting updates from real s

 

[Felipi1205]

When the crew selection will be complete, I'll create a Patch for the pilots...

OK, the last patch today, the lunar mission:

Just add SKIN IHP_Chronus or SKIN IHP_Hermes to the XR5 config in the scenario file.
