This may not be Delta Glider and MIR, but the principles are exactly the same...try this great tutorial, it will help you step by step, through the milestones mentioned by James, tbax and Tommy: Soyuz to ISS Tutorial

I suppose Champagne can be classified as a monopropellant, though it would be poor for use in a spacecraft. But in an astronaut...:lol: [Edit] Anyway, back to the question at hand. I think it will be a combination of A&B. Initially, since the pressure in the bottle is higher than ambient...

How very seasonal of you ar81! Remember, in The Nutcracker, the Mouse King was defeated by a shoe thrown by Clara. (Got the Nutcracker on the brain these days...:lol:)

I'd love to see this but we've got a big winter storm coming today. Finally getting some below-freezing temperatures + precip, which will force most Seattlites into panic mode...:P

For sure, they'll need a great big lunar lander and large launch vehicles. Enough to keep Orbinauts guessing and creating add-ons for years. :speakcool: Edit: The lander and cylindrical modular cargo units reminded me of your add-ons, Andy.

Fantastic idea...have you considered not painting your panels completely, such that your white text can be back-lit, such as in an Apollo panel? I've been thinking on that problem a long time, that of panel material and solving the problem of back-lit text near the switches. I think that with...

Especially if you're driving a Sherman...

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Too true. Before I sold my sailboat a couple of years ago (Newport 30, 30' long and 30 years old), it sat idle at a marina I didn't really like...the place was more a "parking lot for boats" than an active seagoing community. 99% of the boats just sat there and never went...

Thank you...evidently the word Здравствуйте was so tough for me to say (and it still appears tough, if I may say so) that I forgot what it even meant! :lol: So it means "hello" or "good day" or the like? Спасибо

Fantastic. (Although it might pay to include the vertical (or radial) accel. term again at the end, to emphasize what's keeping you in this orbit.) I like to visualize this odd orbit as one being under the influence of an extra-strong force of gravity, like orbiting a neutron star. Or being...

I can vouch for the fact that most everywhere in Japan, "Ha" after "konnichi" or "konban" is pronounced "wa." This "ha" is strange part of speech, called a particle, and is also used in many declarative sentences, such as Kore ha pen desu (ko-ray wa pen dess) My attempt at "Have a nice day:"...

I was playing with Clive's tutorial all weekend, so I have it fresh in my mind. I managed to get to ISS (or the Salyut 6 I'm working on) with plenty of fuel left over, with fuel percentage numbers similar to what Clive provided as examples throughout the tutorial. The biggest possible fuel...

Ah, really? I too have been thinking the Soyuz TMA add-on could use some improvements. Such as better re-entry module mesh, different-looking solar panel, improved DLL, better RM re-entry characteristics...etc. And you're working on an interior. Maybe, while we all wait for October Sky, we...

There was a recent thread that sort of went into what this "radioactive" propulsion might be... http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=5393

Looking forward to the pix!

Andy! You OK buddy? (Need to be extra careful when you emulate Jearl Walker...)

Also be sure to try Soyuz to ISS tutorial, if you like to use "real life" spacecraft. Congrats on the moon landing. It's easier to land "on the surface somewhere." Landing on a pad at a moonbase...well, that's an accomplishment!

Hello Aqim, If you are a Soyuz fan, then here are several links to related items you may enjoy: - CVEL SoyuzTMA and Progress http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=58685&package_id=124522 - No Matter's ProgressM. Very new, very beautiful and sophisticated...

Thank you! A Google search couldn't bring me to this MFD, which seems to be missing from its previous location(s)...happy to find it here on Tex's forum. Hate to ask this, but is rjcroy ok with this being posted here?

Never mind "ped-o-philes," you can easily throw 'em off off the trail using deception. Example! This is...uh...me:
