Kerbal Sea plane

The water in Kerbal Space Program is not friendly so I wanted to build a sea plane that could land in the water and on land, but the way a landed I don't think counts as "landing".

Kerbal microscopic?

   I wanted to make the smallest flying drone I could possibly make, so I did. The drone has no landing gear at all, It has short amounts of fuel, It was insanely difficult to control, and the parts overheated. So in my book a great success.

Kerbal gliding

   I wanted to build a glider that had no engines on it after it had left the ground. I had a good kinda long flight with a not so good "throw" (the thruster that I used to get off the ground made a hard right and blew up pretty early on the runway).

Storms

   Super Storms they occur every once and a while and are becoming more and more often (you can see why on one of my other posts (here)) So I made a Thing Ink showing a really short forecast of one thing a super storm could do.

De-extinction

   De-extinction or bringing an animal/ plant that has already been extinct back to life a they do in Jurassic park is becoming more of a reality than science fiction. I created a slide on this power point of one animal that was either lost or lived through then died shortly after.

Biodiversity

  Biodiversity is "the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem." (what) By definition, but all the different species of animals and plants on earth are examples of biodiversity.

  One part of biodiversity is the evolution of one species into multiple different species. The Finch island (named after Darwin Finch who found the island) It was a finch paradise. The finches had no predators, and plenty of food. Well they had plenty of food the finches ate the food to fast but instead of fighting each other the finches with small differences (mainly in their beak) split into groups. The finches with longer skinnier beaks that were good at getting worms and other grub went into one group, and the finches with shorter wider beaks that were good at cracking nuts and seeds into another group. The groups got so far part that they wouldn’t mate with each other. Then the differences only got larger the finches with long beaks got even longer beaks, and the finches with short beaks go shorter stronger beaks.

Biodiversity is like a giant web. The giant web I’m talking about is a food web. Now if the food web is large enough you can completely take a species out of the web and not much would happen. Animals higher up on the web would simply eat another animal or producer.

If the web is two small or there is an animal that solely eats only one thing, and you take that one thing out of the web it can cause a gigantic chain reaction that will eventually make the whole web fall.

Super Sonic Tiny Drone

   I have already made a super sonic plane, but I had to worry about safety (Not Really) so I wanted to make a drone that I could crash when I wanted to and not kill anyone, but also make it go extremly fast and be extremely small as well.

Kerbin Orbit Scanner

One of the science blocks in Kerbal Space program says that it could do an orbital scan. I wanted to build a satellite that would orbit Kerbin and give me information on the landscape mainly.

Climate Change

   Climate change, it is a word that people through all over the place today, but do you actually know what climate change could actually do to change the face of the world. A three degree shift could cause a chain of events. The Arctic glaciers would melt way faster than they could possibly refreeze. The missing glaciers wouldn't be able to cool the Earth, so it would get harder melting more glaciers making it hotter melting glaciers... you get the point. A six degree raise in global would forever change the world as we know it. There would be huge natural disasters would be common place. There would be massive flooding up to 25 feet of water, While in other places there would be record breaking droughts that would dry the amazon river, turn the amazon rain forest into a Savanna, and increase the intensity of wild bush fires in Australia.

   That's just a six degree increase in global temperature.


Six Degree Could Change The World

Kerbal Ultra Sonic!!!

I wanted to build a super sonic plane, but what I received was a plane that went so fast it caused reentry effects leaving the atmosphere.




But when I was reentering the atmosphere I was going too fast and literally ripped the ship apart in under one second.




With my extreme amount of skill (luck) I managed to land the cockpit and save the Kerbal from certain death.

Kerbal Submarine?

I had heard that in the new update that they changed the buoyancy of multiple parts and I wanted so you could go under water so I wanted to try

Kerbal Plane

I wanted to test how well I was at making planes. As well as the science behind making airplanes.(Spoiler alert I'm not that good.)

Space The Final Frontier

If we were to expand our reach into Earth meaning that we would live in space the best thing to do would be build a self sustaining space station in semi deep space. (meaning far enough from a planet to not get pulled down to much by gravity, but close enough to transmit resources if need be.) A colony would be another option, but I believe that it would be more difficult to make a colony on the Moon or Mars because on the Moon you don't have any control on gravity or the day cycle, and on Mars there are gigantic dust storms the can block the sun for weeks at a time. A space station wouldn’t have any of these problems, but it is not perfect in any way shape or form. It is relatively defenseless if asteroids or comets hit it, It would have to be man made making it very very expensive to build and potentially uphold. The main things you would have to focus on for human survival is water, food, breathable air, exercise, normal day-night cycle, normal”ish” gravity, and Heat. The space station would be in control of all of the factors, Water - The station would have huge water filters to purify water to be able to drink it, Food / Breathable air - You would grow you own food in the station, and be doing so creates water via photosynthesis, Exercise - The space station would be huge enough to do your daily run, Normal day/night cycle - This could go one of two ways either the space station would have lights that would turn on and off, or the spin of the station would create the day via the light from the actual sun but this would be very dangerous because we would have no atmosphere to protect us from the uv rays the sun is giving off, Gravity - The spinning of the space station would act as a centrifuge forcing people onto the sides of the station creating artificial gravity, Heat - This could go with the day / night cycle one being that the station could be heated using the heat from the some but like I said before that would be dangerous, so it would be more likely for the station to be heated using a traditional heater just A LOT bigger like fifty times as big then you might need like fifty of those to heat the whole station. The space station world probably still be the best option because on a planet/moon you would have much less control over these things if any.

End of the World

   This website Here  goes over ten different ways that the world could end, even though most of the ways are unbelievable so I picked  one to focus on which is the super volcano. The thought of a volcano ending all life on Earth seems like it shouldn't be able to happen but these videos beg to differ. Here and Here. If you don't know exactly what a super volcano is then here is a Wikipedia page the defines it Definition. Super volcanoes aren't only in the US here is a website that shows the top ten super volcanoes that can destroy our world Website and if you want more information on super volcanoes then here is a link to my post on the Yellow Stone super volcano Blog Post. Now that you see that a super volcano is actually a huge deal I'm here to tell you that there's not much we can do to stop a super volcano eruption. We would know with our current science about a week or two before the eruption, and in that time we would be able to evacuate most if not all of the people surrounding the volcano. Evacuation is the most that we could do, because there is multiple factors that make a super volcano so destructive. First there is the lava the main thing that everyone think about when they here volcano. The lava would cover a huge area of land burning it all to the ground. Then the ash would block out the sun and might cause some rain showers, but when the ash settled everyone would be breathing in volcanic ash, so everyone would have to have some sort of breath mask to simply keep them from breathing the volcanic ash. Then on top of all of that just the explosion from the volcano would probably kill at least a few people close to the volcano, So to conclude a super volcano is a really bad thing and there is nothing we can do to stop it, so how has you day been?

Kerbal Drilling Expedition

   Even though I am probably the worst at building planes somehow I built a plane that controls really well and has drills with cargo tanks to hold the ore it gathers.


I got a total of .12 ore in my tanks but the plane is still there collecting ore.
