    Updates NASA New Horizons Mission Updates

    Last image from New Horizons before the flyby. After all those years, Pluto is no longer a small point in the sky but a real world with interesting geographical features. Amazing.

    I finally saw Firefly.

    I was setting up some email filters the other day and called one of them "the special hell" - this is a place for those people you've contacted who just won't take "no, go away" for an answer.

    Updates NASA New Horizons Mission Updates

    30 or 40 years most likely. They would have to review what went wrong, how to fix it, work out the programme, apply for funding, and so on. however, even if it all went to hell today we'd still have this: which is already many times better resolution than what we had just a few months ago.

    It looks like a minature Mars, certainly it's shaping up to be another interesting world.

    General Question Improving lights on the UCGO Shuttle-A

    The only way to change the spotlights would be to change the DLL as the details of the spotlights would be added to the code of the modified shuttle A itself.

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    I'm glad you mentioned that, I wondered if it was anything. It starts a few seconds after the backchill of the second stage kicks off. Something was up with that second stage.

    I think it is part of the capsule, the break up starts at 2:50

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    Very interesting video. At 2:54 something can clearly be seen falling away from the vehicle. No idea what though.

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    It would make sense, have a look at this screengrab: https://www.dropbox.com/s/axvt9kj9x1r4q33/space-x-fail.PNG?dl=0 The first stage can be seen still firing. What ever happened didn't happen to the first stage but further up the length of the rocket.

    Rant Flat-Earth-Theory

    Arguing with such folks puts me in the mind of this quote: "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."

    Rant Flat-Earth-Theory

    I did until I hit 40 and then realised that the people were still as dumb as they were before and I had a sore throat so now I just leave them to it.

    add that outrage to this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2829107/Scientists-jailed-manslaughter-did-not-predict-deadly-earthquake-Italy-killed-309-people-cleared.html and it'll put people off of science which is last thing that should be allowed. The world is going crazy.

    Question Can a texture change during a scenario at a particular point

    Another option is to replace the mesh, this is what some addons do for separation type sequences but they needs either something like SC3 or coding.

    News Germanwings Flight 4U9525 (Airbus A320) crash in Southern France (24 March 2015)

    It seems that my earlier prediction that the passengers would have known what was going on was right. Emphasis mine, source and more: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32138867
