Okay, just go outside at about noon, and look straight up. There's a self-sustained fusion reaction.

Fusion power is a nice idea. It's potentially clean, cheap, and efficient. The big drawback though, other than the fact that there's only a limited supply, is that it isn't easily accessable. We have to go to the moon to a small area that can easily be monopolized by a company or nation. We fell...

Well, maybe it's an inflatable spaceship. Yeah. An inflatable spaceship with a heatshield on the front and the heat tiles on the other sides kind of fold out and make room for five people. How do I find out how to make this? Or would one of you be willing to make it? Heh...inflatable...

Thanks for the tutorial man. I think they should have a little thing pop up when you're downloading orbiter that says you should be good at a normal flight simulator before trying this. If it's already there...it's been a while since I downloaded it.

Well I find that it isn't as fun when I crash into the ground and die while attempting atmospheric flight. It's the one thing I suck at. I would appreciate a simple launch autopilot that puts me in orbit. As far as the XR5, I haven't tried it. It doesn't look as good as the XR2, though. Btw...

http://www.photonics.com/content/news/2007/February/22/86585.aspx I found this a while ago and thought it was pretty cool. I'm wondering why there wasn't a big deal made about this. It's revolutionary! Why didn't anyone talk about this? Or am I being stupid and miss some big drawback?

Maybe someone could tinker with the UMmu ShuttlePB so it fits in a payload bay and acts as a lifeboat. It would have to hold 5 crew, though. Can it do that?

Okay. I like the damage thing and the systems from the XR1, but I think that later versions should have actual destruction animations and launch/reentry autopilots like on the DGIV. Maybe there can be a cargo version with a payload bay.

I've found that, I'm actually looking for more of a tiny ship that fits into the payload bay. Good for reentry and stuff. So if I happen to break my landing gear and hover engines while landing on the moon, I'll be able to maybe get back to earth.

Okay, cool. Will the damage only be the stuff on the wings or will it actually explode and break up and stuff?

I've recently been flying around in my DGIV and I realized that I can't actually find any lifeboat-type payloads for it. If anyone can find me one...I will thank you.

That is quite possibly the most beautiful bird I've ever seen, real or not. As far as features, what'll it have? Autopilots, payload bay, UMmu, etc.? Looks are great, but I want a bit more before switching off the DGIV.
