There are also plenty of realistic but fictional modules on Pappy's hangar. http://francophone.dansteph.com/?page=addons There are also a few station-building modules I have put on OH myself.

Han shot first!

Ok, they're bringing Han back as a force ghost. "But he wasn't a Jedi!" No, but the force was strong with him. He was able to use Chewie's bowcaster to great effect. A very difficult weapon to master like the lightsaber especially for a human. Lightsaber combat could be mastered with brute...

That would be very interesting: the protagonist having the special saber since in all the movies, the only special sabers or saber-like weapons have been in the hands of the bad guys (Darth Maul's double-blade, Dooku's bent-hilt, Grevious's guards' electrostaffs, the Storm Trooper's...

So I saw it again today, not much new, my initial thoughts still stand. Excellent movie, only one I've ever seen twice in just a few days in theaters!

Doesn't mean the new Jedi have to keep the same rules though. In the expanded universe stuff, the new Jedi order does not prohibit marriage (note: most of this comes from 3rd party sources, I have read only 2 books of EU material, and neither is from after the battle of Endor). Whether the...

WOW! INCREDIBLE MOVIE! To me, this was one of those movies where you wonder when it's going to end, not because you want it to end, but because you logically know it's only two hours long and it feels like a LOT has happened. So on to some points here. Yes, there were some contrivances. I...

To me, the two Abrams Trek films aren't like Star Trek OR Star Wars as some claim (as I once did) instead I liken them more to Transformers. Fun movies, who cares about the plot? As far as SW:TFA...

So I have an unusual application for a Raspberry Pi. Basically, what I need is for it to connect to a device via serial port, then send that data over a network, then have a Windows computer be able to receive that data, but as a serial port. In other words, if I'm in a program that requires...

*eyes the price of 19 inch racks for the storage array he now needs* Seriously though, this is amazing! I hope that at least it will be possible to have small high-res sections available, it would make spaceports in more mountainous areas (Vandenburg comes to mind) all that more interesting and...

It would seriously be interesting to see the worldwide internet traffic over the time period just before and immediately following the premiere day/time. Don't know if all the chatter would even register though.

How did he tamper with the stories from the original trilogy? The only things I can think of is "I am your Father" which was explained away with that whole "point of view" stuff from VI, and midichlorians which kind of took some of the thunder out of the force.

So does this mean the project is deflated?

Indeed, Luke might be the largest figure on that poster...

What tools are you using? I like to use IMFD, there you have to set it up as a planet approach maneuver, then an orbit eject maneuver out of orbit from the moon. Think of an interplanetary trajectory where you eject out of Earth Orbit into a solar orbit, or more generically, you eject from the...

Ok, I am so, so close. I was doing the rotation matrices wrong, basically I needed two matrices, one about the horizon x-axis, then one about the y-axis rather than multiplying the two matrices together which had the effect of rotating the second axis about the first. Anyways, now I have two...

One option that isn't engineeringly (that's a word right?) attractive is to simply launch the unrefined ore to refinery stations in orbit and create the fuel elements there.

Ok so I've almost got a solution. I found I could get pitch and heading by rotating a z-unit vector (0,0,1) around first the x, then the y axis of the local horizon. To get roll I rotate a y-unit vector (0,1,0) with the same matrix (though performance reasons I'll probably just rotate it about...

I don't expect to be a multi-gazillionaire any time soon so I guess there's no reason to hold onto this idea. Would a low earth orbiting satellite using an ion sustainer engine be able to refuel itself from the upper atmosphere similar to how a Bussard ramjet would work? I was inspired after...

Ok, so I'm working on this a bit more. I think I have a solution for getting the current ship's orientation, I can normalize the vector given by GetHorizonAirspeedVector, and to get current rotations, derive a matrix from it and GetShipAirspeedVector. But I'm still lost on how to say something...
