A manual would be handy, I agree... For the habitats, you need to hook up power and thermal pipes. As long as you connect the habitats together through the white tubes, they only need one hookup with electric/thermal for the entire sit

It's odd to me that anti-nuclear is being labelled anti-science. It's almost like the pro-nuclear people have blinders on. Nuclear is fantastic, in theory. In practice, in the real world, the consequences of accidents are extraord
