[00:03:05] (let's just hope we found a way to use regenerative fuels for rockets by then) [00:15:20] Will we manage to make Dyson sphere? [00:15:50] or will orbital debris prevent it? [00:20:49] that's a tiny bit more than a 100 years out, i'm afraid [02:14:50] We can *start* making a Dyson Sphere any time. And use the energy to power the construction of the rest [03:58:23] if by "start" you count "put something with a solar panel in orbit of the sun", then yes, we can probably do that... [04:00:33] Well, and be able to beam the power back, I think [04:02:24] that might be somewhat trickier, especially if you want the returned energy to be larger than the amount used to get it there [04:04:23] Alternatively, have the satellites form laser propulsion systems. [04:04:40] Since you're going to incur transmission losses anyway. [04:15:42] less with recenneta whatever thats spelled [04:40:04] rectenna? [06:08:18] lordcirth_: yeah [06:46:17] hehe this spacex launch will not be a return to launch site, because some company has a sensitive payload there, so it will land on the ship just right next to the coast [06:46:30] (from scott video) [08:04:10] hehe nonsequitur flaturday night fight. video starts with a flat and globe earth morphing to each other back and forth with text cgi initializing [08:05:56] lol [08:06:46] hehe a tumbleweed just rolled by [08:53:22] was it turning into disk and sphere also? ;) [08:53:59] Althego: just on time lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGu-DYTYzzE turn on captions if youre interested and hard time understanding [08:54:13] i watched that :) [08:54:18] nice [08:55:52] know what'd be interesting? [08:55:56] flat earth sphere [08:56:08] an artifical world made from sphere sections [08:56:10] what is that [08:56:27] an opened up sphere, like an orange? [08:56:31] world with huge interior volume [08:56:39] so much space [08:57:10] and since its inside hollow sphere theres no gravoty anywhere inside it (beides like moon and sun pulls) [08:58:48] anyway artifical flat world has certain advanges I would think, like ability to move it [08:58:58] for very long term travel [08:59:10] probably discussed in video lol watching still [09:07:07] nice. it covered mass issues [10:14:11] hola [10:14:29] is there any mod that enables autostruts by default? [10:15:03] I just do not want to click all objects and autostrut to root and turn on rigid connections [10:19:07] you dont need to :) [10:19:30] but back in the day people used to install kerbal joint reinforcement or what it was called [10:19:36] it probably did something similar [10:19:40] i dont know if it still exists [10:19:53] not for 151 [10:21:20] https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/180255-14-diamond-grid-trusses-and-containers-010/ [10:21:36] Finally, after over two years of non-development :P [10:22:26] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:27:16] hoo [10:27:19] there is one [10:27:30] https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/Kerbal-Joint-Reinforcement/releases/tag/RELEASE%2F3.3.3.4 [10:38:55] taniwha: congratulations [10:39:05] Althego: thanks [10:39:37] what is that disco ball? :) [10:39:46] NoLaunchClamp :) [10:40:01] use it with the truss segments to make a stable base [10:40:15] (more importantly, LEVEL regardless of terrain) [10:42:31] http://taniwha.org/~bill/baselegs.png [10:42:46] snagged from my stream [10:43:04] ah, drat [10:43:07] came up black [10:43:10] hang on [10:44:17] ok, same link works now [10:44:27] (just had to use xv instead of whatever for mplayer) [10:45:16] (and no, the supports do not need to be attached to the bottom of the parts: the heads pivot just like launch clamps) [11:28:59] the famous hanging labs of minmus :) [11:32:00] :) [11:33:09] I should probably start working on making the biplane airworthy [11:35:23] first it needs to lift thor's air hammer? [12:04:16] this biplane is at least 20 to 30 years old and was never completed, wew [12:10:36] https://66.media.tumblr.com/a33185150616d93c8220054fdafacc9c/tumblr_pj2qceZHAe1xoyw8po1_540.jpg [12:24:42] Fluburtur: what material is it made off? [12:24:56] balsa and covering film [12:25:22] ah, so already pretty lightweight [12:25:40] yeah and it was meant to run on a nitro engine so it can accept some weight [12:25:51] wingspan is around one meter [13:36:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:06:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:19:11] Fluburtur: so, you're going petrol or just adding a large accu? [14:33:00] the bipe will be electric but I will try to make at least one plane nitro [15:20:23] good news, I have sulfurinc acid [15:30:05] and now refine some gold! [15:30:25] I dont think I have nitric acid however [15:30:36] and using potassium nitrate isnt that great apparently [15:38:44] Re: Acids. Actual story from school, happened two (I think?) years ago... So we were working in a group of three, doing some tests on water samples from the local river. It involved photometry with chemicals that were already prepared (as in ready made mixes of stuff for specific tests). So two of us spill a few drops of this suspiciously looking liquid (not really, it was clear and could have been water by the looks), and we [15:38:44] ask out third guy to go and get some towels to wipe it up. Meanwhile, I check what that liquid was (50 - 50 mix of concentrated sulfuric and phosphorous acids). Next thing I see, our third guy, instead of getting a towel, wiped it up with his sleeve. I tell him, "You realize this is a mix of concentrated sulfuric and phosphorous acids?" His response was legendary and remains our mantra in chemistry class to this day: "WE'RE [15:38:44] ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" [15:47:26] no the spacex launch moved to monday [15:47:49] at least a soyuz launch on the same day too [15:49:08] what is this https://twitter.com/boringcompany/status/1069044263944511488 [15:49:08] <boringcompany> Final round of interviews https://t.co/jKvcbCopjR [16:30:16] Hi, is this where I can speak to forum staff? [16:30:25] Sorry if I've come to the wrong place [16:30:37] some of them might be here [16:31:15] Cool [16:48:41] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:59:24] "Thank you for the info. I will keep in mind that some forum staff may be here" (leaves) [17:00:56] o_O [17:01:31] hehe [17:02:56] Seriously, I love how people join, do not ask their question (or, better yet, they do ask), but then they leave anyway [17:03:10] I mean, huh, what do they expect? [17:04:11] Or, what's their reasoning, rather? They solved the issue already themselves? They expect an instant response? Well, those might apply if they ask but leave without waiting for an answer [17:04:39] But why ask if you can find staff here, receive a response, acknowledge with "Cool" and just leave, haha [17:04:40] i think they expect an instant response [17:05:00] even with 170 people not much is happening [17:05:45] I mean, that's like dialing a number, asking whether a person is here, and then saying "thank you" and hanging up [17:06:19] https://what-if.xkcd.com/55/ [17:11:30] Anyone know a mod that adds a Hitchhiker-like part in 3.75m? [17:12:34] Near Future Spacecraft or Space Stations Expansion (or whatever Nertea's space station mod was called) might, but you'd have to look at them to make sure [17:13:08] I have NFS installed [17:13:54] SSPX might work, though [17:41:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:59:36] So, I installed SSPX, and some parts show up, but the 3.75m habs are supposed to be under Nanolathing and aren't. [19:25:48] Weird......I caught this on the live NYC webcam at Earthcam [19:25:51] https://gyazo.com/d0b1429cc011eaeec1d096ceed80324c [19:35:15] hehe dancing stormtroopers [19:37:33] Action: raptop assumes that the 501st was involved? [19:38:59] ... 501st... hmmm.. [19:39:04] probably [19:40:20] eh.. -did quick search- friend is in that... thought it was just a local group... [19:40:23] its actually globally huh? [19:40:31] yes worldwide [19:40:40] the good bad guys :) [19:41:32] tomorrow that falcon should really launch. several delays already [19:42:00] https://twitter.com/therourke/status/1068875942473404422 [19:42:00] I, for one, welcome our owl overlords https://t.co/p5Cw17czDr [19:42:06] ... ok warning next time, going from starwars to spacex and saying falcon... might confuse some people. [19:42:14] hehe [19:42:34] here I thought someone built the millennium and was about to launch it for a moment. [19:44:33] Althego so going from cat overlords to owls huh? [19:44:55] wait a sec, tomorrow is osiris rex too? [19:44:57] That's silly. The overlords would obviously be some sort of corvid. [19:45:03] 3 space events in one day [19:45:38] in 21 hour and 15 minutes [19:45:49] arrives to bennu [19:45:56] scott mentioned soemthing that it is this week [19:46:10] Also, Bennu is a bird god. [19:46:19] boid [19:51:19] overlord'ing is over-rated anyways... too much responsibility.. [19:51:27] hehe [19:53:36] I prefer freedom.. but thats just me [22:05:08] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:35:12] eggs are cool xd [22:35:31] Agreed. [23:03:33] o_O
