#Kerbal Space Program

[prokopetz]

Kerbal Space Program was once afflicted by a bug the fans dubbed the "Deep Space Kraken", whereby if you travelled far enough from the origin of the game's coordinate system, floating point rounding errors would cause your spacecraft's components to become misaligned and/or clip into each other, resulting in the craft falling apart or exploding for no obvious reason.

The bug was later fixed by defining the active spacecraft itself as the origin of the game's coordinate system. In effect, the spacecraft no longer moves; instead, the spacecraft remains stationary and the entire universe moves around it. Owing to how relativity works, to the player this is indistinguishable from the spacecraft moving about within a fixed coordinate system, and it ensures that the body of the craft and its components will always be modelled with maximal precision.

While elegant, this solution introduced a new problem: it was now possible, by doing certain stupid tricks with relativistic velocities, to introduce floating point rounding errors to everything except the active spacecraft. In extreme cases, this could result in the destruction of the entire observable universe.

Some might call this one of those situations where the solution proves to be worse than the problem. I call it a perfect expression of what Kerbal Space Program is truly about.

At least when Bethesda makes a broken game it’s just buggy, not genuine fucking malware

All these other KSP players out here trying to maximize ΔV (change in velocity) whereas I’m trying to maximize ΔG (change in genders)

MY PSIONIC WARRIORS, KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM IS 75% OFF ON STEAM GO GO GO ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES OF ALL TIME

IT ONLY COSTS LIKE TEN BUCKS AND IF YOU WANT THE DLC (WHICH IS WORTH IT) ITS ONLY ANOTHER TEN EXTRA

Please put him in the crew camera next to Jebediah Kerman on a space flight from Kerbal Space Program (can be either 1 or 2)

Thanks in advance!

You don’t gotta do like engineering or even a trade job or whatever. Comment in the tags what and why as you wish, and lemme know if I missed any

Special thanks to my lovely partner for helping me decide on the final color balancing.

Kerbal Space Program is free on the epic game store for the next few days (ends the 12th)

In case any of my followers are interested in getting an absolutely incredibly accurate and fun space exploration simulator. Get it while you can. Even if you don't think you'll get to it anytime soon, don't miss out.

#kerbal #kerbal space program #free game #free games #epic game store #seriously a great grab #this game is super fun and addicting #but more than that #the feelings of accomplishments as you have successful missions is unmatched #I truly get what those science bitches at NASA and JPL are so happy about when they land that little scrap of metal on that big rocky thing

Being an aerospace engineering major means that I get to learn about orbital mechanics Gonna go ham on KSP setting up stupid orbits

Знакомьтесь. Первая команда Кербонавтов доставленная мной на луну и их корабль.

Встречают свой первый рассвет перед полетом домой.

Japan landed a spacecraft called SLIM on the moon last week which is cool and makes them the fifth country to have successfully done that, but it tumbled the wrong way up and I'm laughing so much at this image taken by one of the rovers it deployed, it literally looks like the Kerbal Space Program title screen.

we have a new video over on YouTube courtesy of @elliespectacular (who did the editing) and I think you should all watch it, okay bye

also thank you to @dukeofash for the perfect thumbnail :3
