![]() The game is so frustrating without that because there's so much trial and error with randomly flipping craft thanks to the new aero model if the TWR is off for any of your stages (and it will be until you've played awhile and developed an intuitive sense of what kind of rocket is reasonable - a proficiency you won't likely reach if you didn't have Engineer from the beginning to help get you there). Totally agree with you that the Engineer plugin is absolutely essential for playing KSP, though. Andy Weir is a serious hard science fiction nerd, to the point that you can download the data that he simulated for these orbits and verify for yourself that they are in fact correct for the stated specifications of Hermes' ion drive. So anyway, the point is that, since you're continuously applying thrust anyway, you don't need perfect alignment, it just takes you longer if the alignment isn't correct. It ends up being a low thrust brachistochrone orbit. So it's definitely not a Hohmann transfer orbit since there is thrust applied throughout, and you are consequently reaching your destination faster than such a transfer would arrive. Andy Weir, the author, is a programmer, and he actually wrote a physics simulator to calculate the required orbit see here: The whole point of the Hermes spacecraft as used in The Martian, though, is that it has a high specific impulse, low thrust ion drive, that runs continually during the entire orbit (using power from a reactor to do so). > A transfer from Mars to Earth is never going to line up with an instant return transfer window back to Mars. It would not be out of character for Star Trek to invent a bizarre species-specific toxicity if the plot demanded one. ![]() Vulcans and Romulans, for instance, experience an anaesthetic effect from TLTDH, similar to the effect of NO2 on humans. If a retcon is necessary to preserve one's enjoyment of the show, Riker may have already been aware of the hazard level for humans, but was asking for a more informed opinion from the chief engineer, who has presumably read and memorized all the MSDS sheets, for the benefit of any nonhuman organisms on board. Deuterium gas is likely as harmless as light hydrogen gas. It would not be acutely toxic, though-more like an occupational exposure level of hazard. Presumably, if you inhale enough dideuterium monoxide vapor, you may experience a similar effect. It interferes with how your chromosomes line up during cell division. The hydrogen bonding in molecules that substitute deuterium for light hydrogen is affected, such that if you drink enough heavy water, you will experience symptoms similar to radiation poisoning. It reaches a top speed of 1778 M/S in this video.As a nitpick, deuterium actually is toxic. The plane is called the SB-3 Peregrine the third plane in the SB series, named after the Peregrine Falcon the world's fastest bird. ![]() Spudrotuskutarsu - 2628 M/S "DS X1 Shooting Star"Ĭhocolat Oreos - 2100 M/S "The Swifty Monster"Įvader - 2082 M/S "liquid fuel only production mkII This must be in KSP version 1.0.5 or later!ĭown here is the leaderboard where the current record holder's are displayed. It must be a plane, not a rocket with a bunch of jet engines attached. Submissions are taken through screenshots and video but video is much more appreciated. It all must be in one stage, no seperatrons, decouplers, etc. No rocket engines of any sort with the exception of rapier engines! It's pretty straight forward however there are some rules to make sure this challenge is fair for everyone! ![]() This challenge is called the Air Speed Record, you build the fastest stock aircraft you can and put your submission in the comments below through video or screenshot. ![]()
