[16:49:59] eh it is already over [16:51:07] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T84qFp4_3ns [16:51:07] YouTube - Replay of NS-11 Webcast [16:51:30] nextrocket.space does nto show this because it is not orbital [16:56:36] So, the DM-1 failure was something happening right before the ignition of the Super Dracos. Somewhere in the ignition system, they said [16:57:02] Althego: mph? feet? What is this? 1950? ;P [16:57:07] yes [16:57:16] some comments complained too [16:57:40] That's the problem with Blue Origin. They don't think very far ahead. Just think inside their little world. [17:08:19] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:10:36] I read a NASA article about the Sky Crane where they managed to use ft and m in the same sentence [17:10:53] hehe [17:11:30] ("xx m above the surface, the crane lowers the rover on a yy ft long cable" - or something similar) [17:13:28] dont worry just multiply it by 0.3048 :) [17:14:00] this one is easy to remember because only 1 off from 2028 which is a round number :) [17:14:07] *2048 [17:14:39] i also know nautical miles (1852 m) because those happen often, and by extension knots [17:14:49] all the others are just random [17:16:47] All those old units are random [17:17:05] i am not satisfied with si either. mostly because of the kg as base unit [17:17:09] I don't get why they still use knots and nautical miles [17:17:21] what would be beter? [17:17:23] *better [17:17:33] those have some small merit. because i NM is 1 arc minute [17:17:38] at least on average [17:17:44] in north and south direction [17:18:14] but because degrees are already arbitrary, so it is exactly the same as any other non si [17:18:41] le grande k has been deprecated! [17:19:01] yes luckily [17:19:08] well, since there are only a few times in the life of a ship where you go directly north or south, nm doesn't make sense at all. [17:19:15] but still the base unit has a prefix which is dumb [17:19:30] And yes, degrees are bad. BOTE calcs with angles and distances would be way easier if we used radians [17:19:31] nm is nanometer, NM is nautical mile :) [17:19:51] i think we should base angles on semicircles, gets rid of pi [17:21:42] you're right [17:21:55] NM doesn't make any sense at all anymore ;P [17:22:07] Can we please go full SI everywhere? That would be so nice [17:22:31] cant, degrees are always in wide use [17:22:42] not before everyone drives on the right side of the road [17:22:49] which right :) [17:22:54] that is completely arbitrary [17:23:53] maybe we could fix it, not side by side but one atop the other :) [17:24:39] no, then which should be on top. i got it, double helix like dna [17:24:50] perfect, neither ever wins in every direction [17:28:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:28:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:01:22] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [18:01:22] uff... [18:01:45] I played flight sims for a while, got used to knots for speed. Maybe not so much NM.. [18:02:30] when I got into flying with ultralights though, my surprise when they talk about speed as mph, and we live in Canada where the KPH is all over the place [18:03:24] yes americans diffused their silly units into the world through aviation [18:03:43] altitude in feet and feet per minute as vertical speed and knots for speed [18:03:44] I don't mind the feet thing.. heck I got size 12 feet myself.. [18:04:08] yet here, places still use meters for height of mountains. [18:05:29] ah well... [18:08:23] there is this joke here, a made up unit, fathom per lord's prayer [18:08:40] obviously a unit of speed [18:09:56] fathom.. makes me think depth... [18:33:35] star wars day is close, sw sale on gog [18:34:02] also scott [18:37:13] meeting on the 4th.. they really laying into it... [19:28:24] Althego: a Lord's prayer in the Gospel of Matthew or Luke? [19:28:32] it's a difference of several seconds, at least [19:28:51] not specified. but the more vague the unit is, the better it is for the purpose of the joke [19:29:42] I guess so. I actually tried to find a value for "average time to say a Lord's prayer" on the Internet to no avail ;) [19:34:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:42:27] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:44:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:48:36] Last message repeated 1 time(s).
