Guys

Fuel is the best way to slow down your craft, aerobraking is cool, but please stop jettisoning all of your fuel and relying entirely on it!

Nice to see something from you, Gita. I've wandered into your twitter feed a dozen times since I started following Austin. The macabre absurdity of puppy-culling is something I've experienced as well, and it hits me a bit, moreso than watching Dwarves die. (though, isn't that how it always is?)

The more recent updates have done great things. One of my recent forts had a Plump Helmet Man bard successfully bash a one-armed goblin to death in a bar-fight, which is a glorious image in its own right.

Brad, the Dark Brotherhood line is literally the only good thing about Oblivion.

XCOM is a masterclass in the study of how terrible people are at understanding randomness.

After so many episodes of the guys being kinda slow, it's really cool to see them stumble into the concept of Aerobreaking. Good discovery!

xPantherx is out of a job!

Edit: The exact opposite of this is true. Even better!

Vinny has a serious problem of constant insisting on being as close to an object as possible before starting his retro burn. Several ships have exploded because of this.

Six Gigantor XL Solar Arrays is enough to comfortably supply a very large space station with energy. It's a bit overkill for your lander.

And mass is everything, so overkill is a serious issue.

Weight (read: Mass) is always "a thing." If you double an object's mass, you need twice as much thrust to accelerate it at the same speed. That's a fact regardless of where you are, and regardless of gravitational influence.
