    If I can’t be a number, none of you can!

    In Kerbal Space Program your ships sometimes catch the NaN virus. If one fuel tank level is reading NaN then whatever you do DON’T try and fill it from another (full) tank. I’m not sure if it can spread to physics (thrust, mass, etc) EDIT: Yes it can happen to physics, oh dear.

    I wonder what would happen if you landed a NaN-infected spaceship on a planet.

      That’s both really cool and very concerning at the same time. I’d be scared to play lol.
