KSP is fun, I got bored quickly.

2018-01-10 00:54:31 UTC  

@Revan how the fuck is it going to fall out of LEO

2018-01-10 00:54:36 UTC  

@Dionara mods.

2018-01-10 00:54:40 UTC  

All the mods

2018-01-10 00:54:57 UTC  

if I wanna play a modded game in space, I'd play Space Engineers.

2018-01-10 00:54:58 UTC  

Don't stop modding until your computer flat out gets up and walks away

2018-01-10 00:55:16 UTC  

when i go from KSP to SE it makes me depressed

2018-01-10 00:55:25 UTC  

because no orbital mechanics :(

2018-01-10 00:55:28 UTC  

@ping The same way anything falls out of any orbit. It gets too heavy for the speed it's moving

2018-01-10 00:55:34 UTC  

@Revan no.

2018-01-10 00:55:45 UTC  

@ping you do know orbital decay is a thing right?

2018-01-10 00:55:51 UTC

2018-01-10 00:55:51 UTC  

Don't we have to constantly push the ISS back into the correct orbit?

2018-01-10 00:55:58 UTC

2018-01-10 00:56:03 UTC  

*Unlike what the Chinese did with Taidong*

2018-01-10 00:56:26 UTC  

Fucking slanty-eye nerds, can't even keep things in space.

2018-01-10 00:56:30 UTC  

@Grenade123 i'm aware but it's minimal

2018-01-10 00:56:31 UTC  

Basically every supply mission involves a little boost back into orbit

2018-01-10 00:57:01 UTC  

the ISS is very low

2018-01-10 00:57:23 UTC  

so it needs more of a push

2018-01-10 00:57:45 UTC  

much heavier objects are a lot more prectible because of their mass

2018-01-10 00:57:51 UTC  

It's like the ISS is slowly dozing off to sleep, but we slap it and yell **WAKE UP**

2018-01-10 00:57:55 UTC  

their orbits will degrade a slower

2018-01-10 00:58:16 UTC  

Yes, its orbit would degrade slower, but it would degrade even more slowly in low lunar orbit

2018-01-10 00:58:24 UTC  

It's more of a guarantee

2018-01-10 00:58:36 UTC  

but who cares

2018-01-10 00:58:40 UTC  

I do.

2018-01-10 00:58:43 UTC  

I like space shit.

2018-01-10 00:58:44 UTC  

The people building it may

2018-01-10 00:58:49 UTC  

It's why I fucking play EVE

2018-01-10 00:58:52 UTC  

if you go into a 100km higher orbit

2018-01-10 00:58:57 UTC  

you won't have to deal with anything

2018-01-10 00:59:21 UTC  

Yeah but wouldn't that make it harder to resupply?

2018-01-10 00:59:27 UTC  

stop.

2018-01-10 00:59:33 UTC  

Let's just orbit the sun to build things

2018-01-10 00:59:37 UTC  

use your brain

2018-01-10 00:59:39 UTC  

Problem solved

2018-01-10 00:59:45 UTC  

Oh, another reason to go to the moon, as @Dionara just mentioned, is getting stuff to the orbit to whatever you're building

2018-01-10 00:59:46 UTC  

I don't know astrophysics.

2018-01-10 00:59:56 UTC  

1/6th the gravity = less fuel to get materials up

2018-01-10 01:00:25 UTC  

So basically, the only use of the moon is a construction site and warehouse
