Scary thing about the Tsar bomba was that they dialed it back - they removed the U238 fusion tamper component (most H-bombs are fission - fusion - fission weapons) - to 50 MT from a theoretical yield of 100 MT.

[@N9GamingOfficial]

Yeah it would have been twice as powerful o.o

[@orangeglass8091]

Well seems you are getting back on track! Good on you N9, though I expected a reaction about mars =========================HIGH LEVEL ENCRYPTION V7========================= Agent Sight reporting in... As you are aware, the soviets made a few launches in this time, mostly lunar probes and communication satellites, along with crewed missions. Nothing new on that front to report on. Though this Tsar bomb is making me worry. I also managed to find out they are designing a new rocket interceptor, though while I am unsure of how it will preform once built. My best guess, Judging on their now ended kha program, I suspect it will be quite impressive. That's it for now. Agent Sight, signing out.

[@orangeglass8091]

Low effort=high likes. High effort=one like, and a short time highlited... The one like probably from n9 himself.

[@phcgamer8733]

Just noticed that Gemini 2 sometimes transmitted through Svet satellites, like at 31:24 and 31:29. Looks like the Soviets forgot to put firewalls on their probes! I wonder if they could have taken copies of the data, were they to have noticed...

Wernher von Kerbraun clearly has his fingers in the game. During WW2, it was his department to launch the rockets- but not where they landed (according to some parodies). Same thing here with spacecraft landing in Mexico.

If you want to beat beardy to the moon, do the cancelled gemini moon project

I think The Moon is still anyone's game. While the soviets got off to a great start (like they did IRL), Beardy is going to start running out of real life parts/rockets to work with. Hopefully the N-1 works a lot better in KSP then it did in real life :p

How do you get your install to not think that putting a procedural wing on the top rear of a plane is a minimum of 4 meters long even when it's actualy 1 mm? Mine is convinced that the procedural wings can't add less than 4 meters to the height despite using the express installation where all I have to do to not mess things up is install it on a fresh install of KSP so I can't airlaunch anything until I get the second version of it. They think it's adding 4m to the height with length set to 0 even, it just doesn't comprehend editing the length off of the preset default (saving default and attaching that instead of editing after attaching doesn't work either). Edit: This has been a persistent problem for me despite following instructions to the T for installation and regardless of which version of RO/RP1 I use.

[@N9GamingOfficial]

I may have encountered this as well, maybe try installing different forks of B9wing and testing them out? I'm not sure which one I've got

[@kingkiller1451]

@@N9GamingOfficial I have no idea why but after reinstalling again earlier (somehow my keyboard controls for the VAB and SPH had broken) the problem seems to have resolved itself. It's been bothering me for longer than I care to try to put an actual number on but I suppose I'll just be happy that it seems to be working properly now. I think the the new express installation method really did help a great deal in getting everything working for me though if only because it simplifies things on my end. Thank you for the reply though and I will keep the advice in mind should I encounter the issue again in the future for some reason, hopefully I don't but maybe that will fix it if I do.
