I’ve got a family member who has a “nice” electric car, upwards of like £70,000.

They swear by it, say it’s the best car they’ve ever driven, so easy, comfortable, etc.

In-person I’ve only ever heard them complain about it, it’s meant to unlock as you approach, that never works, using a charging point takes about 30 minutes to get it to work, they turn off about 5 different sensors and alerts before setting off because they default to on.

Oh, and, “the roads are too narrow”, or “these spaces are so small”. No, you drive a 6ft wide car.

The copium is strong with this one.

If they want to constantly tell us that “That’s how the world works.” and “That’s just the way it is.” Then we get to reiterate our views back.

Of course, NASA ain’t modelling actual missions in KSP.

I imagine KSP is simple Newtonian physics which is accurate at macro-scales, whereas obviously NASA is going to use Einstein’s equivalent. Far more computationally intense but really important once you scale up the small errors in Newton’s equations.

The fact that that’s true as well… 🫩

That makes sense, floating-point precision falls apart with large numbers but is pretty good with small numbers.

Perhaps there’s a mod that can swap out the position system to use doubles instead of floats? But I’m pretty sure that’s a Unity thing with its Transform positioning system so that’d be quite a challenge to change.

If that works with the real solar system mod that is honestly the finest testament KSP can get for its mathematical accuracy.

I love this guy - the literal embodiment of “computer nerd”. Very knowledgeable, no bullshit, grounded and well-produced.
