You know, I've also heard people saying this. Many people are saying this.

Who specifically? Oh, I can't recall.

But lots of people are saying this.

My old school didn't understand why none of us wanted to use the shiny new dark green playground equipment on the large flat freshly sealed blacktop.

Never mind the fact that it's too hot on the pavement, the tar sealant smells horrible, and the color choice of the equipment guarantees 2nd degree burns...

We wanted the grass and wooden equipment back. But the school though wood was too much maintenance, And grass grows too much.

I'm not gonna go check to see if kids are even using it anymore, but satellite imagery shows the playground is still just as gross.

And here I thought I agreed with the Haitians, and thought that people like John Brown did nothing wrong...

Turns out I'm Big Mad?

No atmosphere means very little thermal radiation is pulled from radiators.

I imagine the best bet would be to drill into the surface of the moon and sink your radiators into the ground, fill the gaps with a material that transfers heat well.

Easiest version of that would probably be to lay the radiators on or just below the surface and bury them in a regolith concrete mixture of some sort. Probably not as efficient as drilling straight in, but way less complicated I imagine.

I actually sent a rescue mission to save one of my kerbals and the science they had on board, and ended up needing to launch a mission to save the rescue mission....

Had to break it up into three launches, two to build the larger ship in orbit and one to fuel it up.

I learned a lot about orbital mechanics that day...

Total time in space was probably about 20 years...

And I may have forgotten about a kerbals in one or two plays....

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured "well the creator probably doesn't give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it"

I guess I'm kinda right.

Every time my wife gets mad at a video, I remind her the only reason she is seeing it is because she's watched similar videos before, so it thinks she wants more. If she didn't rage-watch, it wouldn't show her more.

This definitely reads like one of my KSP exploits...

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

Oh is it time for another final warning again?

Damn, lost a bet. I thought for sure it would be at least two weeks.
