Xylord Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I played a little bit of kerbal space program and the powder toy. Kerbal Space Program is great. I actually managed to crash on the moon. The return trip could still... Be improved. How far did you got? Also, I always thought I was the only person in... the world to have even heard of powder toy. It's pretty fun, especially when you get a hang of all the electronic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctichenry Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I managed to get to the easter egg on the moon, that arch thing, and then promply ram my rocket going about 500 km a hour into it.... ya, it didnt go that good. About the powder toy, IKR, almost nobody plays it, as most people come on and are suddenly daunted by its complexity. Its like technic in the way it appeals to the same people I have found out.

Torezu Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wow, the conversation actually corrected itself. That's another thing to love about this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightKev Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It's definitely a lot of fun to over-engineer insane rockets/[space]planes in KSP, especially once you start to get some of the big mods involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love most things Minecraft, but I don't really enjoy anything 2D in general. The powder games are probably my favorite 2D games, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torezu Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ah wonder why im Kellerd? That'd be this, this, and this. In other words, low-effort or no-content bumps or postings. It actually takes three of them. They wear off after a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse95 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It is too bad they sent the Battlestar Galactica into the sun 150,000 years ago, we could have used it to get to the moon or even Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You underestimate our power. ;D I managed to get to the easter egg on the moon, that arch thing, and then promply ram my rocket going about 500 km a hour into it.... ya, it didnt go that good. About the powder toy, IKR, almost nobody plays it, as most people come on and are suddenly daunted by its complexity. Its like technic in the way it appeals to the same people I have found out. Lately I've been trying to get the perfect laser. Perfect temperature, perfect speed, maximum power. It's actually quite complex. A mindfucking mix of white holes, neutrons, photons, plasma/void cells, high temperature GoL formations... But it will cut through anything that can be.

warpspeed10 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Curiosity's camera mast has begun to be raised today. The mast contains navigation cameras as well as two high resolution color MastCams, and a ChemCam. The ChemCam fires a high powered laser to vaporize nearby rocks. It then analyzes the particles that are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulse95 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 What exactly will happen to it when it runs out of juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylord Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 What exactly will happen to it when it runs out of juice? I'm pretty sure we will have already sent other toys in 75 years. Also, it'll just stop. I think the nuclear combustible will just sit there until we pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
