I think that IF this comet hit Mars, MSL would be in far a hard time. And the MER rover Opportunity might as well not survived at all. There will be a lot of dust in the atmosphere for a long time, and Opportunity solar panels might not produce enough power at all. Although it may be awful to...

Thanks for the reply's. I ask this because in this scenario, all that are available in the AR Blackstar cargo list is Oxygen, Fuel and some beacon containers. Must I manually add the ISRU's?

Thanks for a quick reply Bloodworth. But my next silly question.... where do I find this Inflatable Space Rescue Unit?

Hi Thanks for a challenging scenario. I manage to unload 2 fuel and 2 oxygen containers to Olympys and the 3 UMMU. But what I do not know is what is ISRUs? Thanks.

Congratulations Space X. :salute: It felt to me like you pulled a rabbit out of a hat.

Ouch!!!:hailprobe:

They are gonna be the most surprised birds in the world after a short while.....:lol:

I feel sorry for all the dogs. They don't have a clue what happened. And of course for all the injured people. Here we have another example how tiny we are in comparison to nature's fury. I think we are lucky this time. Next time it can be worse than this. That is quite an impressive audio...

What about You Tube? There are already a good portion of Orbiter Simulations floating around on You Tube. There the person interested can see firsthand what Orbiter is capable of. But alas, I think a person must be a die hard fan of spaceflight and everything associated with it.

And I thought South African drivers were bad!!! :facepalm:

How does this meteor explosion compare with the Tunguska event in 1908?

Why do you not try IMFD? You do not have to worry about launch windows, although it can cost you a lot of fuel.

Let we all hope it will just pass us!:)

And I think the general consensus is that it may be a rocky type meteor.(Maybe a remnant of a comet according to the water vapor in the dust cloud.) I dare not to think what the consequences might be if it was a iron meteor. The change that it would reach the surface was then really good IMHO...

What struck me a lot is the share size of the dust cloud. I always see that debris trail in movies, but did not realize that it can be so huge. If you take the altitude the meteor exploded above the surface, I say it is a pretty big cloud of dust. And what also was interesting of that dust cloud...

I also nearly jump the gun on this one. My first thought was that a piece of 2012 DA14 was the culprit. The flightpath of 2012 DA14 was on the same orbital line where this meteor struck But 2012 DA14 flightpath come from the south east and if I understood it correctly, this meteor moved from the...

Hi Jarmo, You are really doing a great job with the D3D 9 client. I like it very much too such a degree that I rarely chose the inline D3D7 client anymore. Now bear with me, I do not know much about coding. I noticed that when I enable the ambient light check box in the debug window, the object...

It is OK....but I like Space Engine more than this.

I tried the D3D9ClientAlpha2 client on the XR2 and this is what I got. http://www.orbiter-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11326&stc=1&d=1360619652 It looks good but notice the transition of the reflective body near the cockpit.

Hi MPL3D. You're work looks great. Why don't you become a developer for Orbiter? We need people like you to enrich an already great simulation like Orbiter.
