General / Off-Topic Stephen Hawking Memorial petition

[Garand1987]

Create a rare or salvage rare called Hawking's Radiators. Flavour text could tell the story.

That’s a good idea. I put up in the requests/suggestions forum that we have a CG to get materials to build Hawking Research Center (Coriolis Station) in Hawking’s Gap, preferably in a suitable black hole system. Adding a special rare to something like that would be cool I think.

From a reddit thread:

CMDR Killian Oh'Malley [EIC]What about a CQ to build a mega ship named after hawking, that once monthly departs to Sag A* from Sol to study it. And can ferry CMDRs with it.


Hawking Radiation and all.

I support putting a memorial beacon into the game, but i would prefer putting it at V1357 Cygni (Cygnus X-1 black hole). Maybe a station called "Hawking Memorial"...

I agree, with this as the location.

We have an informally named 'Hawking's Gap' region of space, from the Formidine Rift mystery. Maybe it could be formalised for him.

(And before anyone says it was 'Hawkins', no that was a typo that got out of hand).

Oooh, that’s the perfect spot. +1 for this.

The best memorial would be to implement hawking radiation around black holes.

I know a few people as smart as hawking, but none of them achieved like him. It takes more than being a genius to be a genius

I’d welcome any improvement to in-game black holes. Right now, it’s very much a case of “I went to Sagittarius A* and all I got was this lousy screenshot”.

 

[Leo Sagan]

I fully support this idea. R.I.P. Stephen Hawking.

He should have a black hole named after him in ED

Update:
Or a station near a black hole as some suggested. That would be great

 

[AliasCZ]

I thing Mr. Hawking deserves more than just a random station. I hope for some big scientific station close to black hole with his recorded voice and memorable as tribute

 

[Notwyn]

A sad day indeed.

I support the petition. I like the black hole idea as well.

This is great.

O7 to the late Stephen Hawking. He will be missed!

My vote goes to naming a black hole or a memorial point near a black hole, after him, seeing as he did much research on black holes and their radiation (Hawking-radiation, as is mentioned earlier in the thread).

 

[Timothy Longstreet]

Thank you, Doctor!

 

[S~P]

R.I.P. Stephen, a sad day indeed, let's hope FD at least name a station after him.

 

[MottiKhan]

He was the greatest mind of our times. Yes, a memorial would be fitting.
