[01:45:30] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [02:09:16] Hi [02:09:37] Most of the world seems to be asleep. [02:10:10] So there is little activity gi [02:10:42] Uh [03:47:43] India and China are awake. [06:10:43] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v phroa' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:12:43] yes, so most of the world was actually awake [08:16:39] what will be the starship power generation mechanism? [08:16:56] the solar panels died out on all the concept images since it was shrunk [10:40:05] Althego: I guess they just haven't decided yet. Probably still solar panels [10:41:37] not much of a choice. rtg is out, so either fuel cell or solar panels, maybe both. but i cant imagine running a ship to mars on fuel cells for 6 months [10:42:25] just usethe humans for power, like in the matrix (whic is honestly a dumb idea) [10:43:35] lol [10:43:46] no solar panels in ksp2? [10:43:57] we dont know about that [10:44:04] the Hermes' rotating segment is a giant treadmill [10:44:05] but no solar panels on spacex starship [10:44:20] https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/913/758/a12.jpg [10:44:31] instead you can just see the smooth shiny metal surface in all art [10:46:38] Althego: paper rocket does not require power [10:47:45] btw cygnus launch in a few hours [10:47:55] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWZKQ73aGrg [10:50:04] my favorite scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_mPE9gcQJo [10:50:31] 6 am yeeah not watching. aw [10:52:47] with apartment bicycles [11:48:54] resizing UI is really strange [11:49:09] PE, AP markers are totally off [11:49:48] also, it resets to 100% after restarting the game, but in the config dialog it is sill 150% [11:50:28] and when I enter & leave the dialog UI is 150% again, markers are off [12:54:58] i wanna set the uuuu-niverse on on fire, feel it burn toni-ight [12:55:38] Althego: Watch the Sun and stars. [12:55:58] I shot a quasar with my telescope/camera. [12:56:37] You could also light a candle. [13:02:36] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXzMD065HEk [13:36:44] i almost forget about the launch [13:36:52] forgot [13:37:40] 20 minutes [13:39:30] So, they're replacing a stork with a swan? [13:39:49] no, both remain in operation [13:40:15] kounotori means stork [13:40:21] next launch in 2020 [13:40:49] no, I meant that HTV-8 undocked recently [13:41:05] in that sense yes [13:41:35] how many free parking places are there? [13:56:39] 2 minutes [13:58:34] hehe the clock is consistently off from the guy who says mark [14:02:43] nominal nominal nominal [14:02:54] as excpected spacex launches are a lotbet wwwwwwwwwwllth meas [14:02:58] (also feet/s² o_O) [14:03:02] hehe [14:03:09] yes i noticed that [14:03:19] ooh, they use one of the new small solid boosters [14:03:24] i wanted to write a lot better with the onboard cameras [14:11:28] .oO("You start to say something dramatic and poignant about the plight of Kerbal-kind in this grand universe, only to be cut off by random radio chatter that the situation is nominal.") [14:11:41] hehe [14:13:00] launch url? [14:13:11] too late [14:14:40] Action: darsie wants url anyways. [14:14:51] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWZKQ73aGrg [14:15:04] already in orbit [14:16:09] It leaves a white trail in orbit? [14:16:19] no, that is a playback [14:21:11] the rover is still not back. but at least there is a descent stage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgyp6Kg8LwI [14:21:36] i have to remember to check this out on weekdays, maybe i can see some people working on it [14:21:54] soo, they launched on a 2.5m jumbo tank, used a hollow tube as interstage and then a Mite SRB for orbit insertion? [14:22:17] hehe, mostly, but it is not a tank [14:22:44] somehow these bird named vehicles are quite boring cylinders [16:43:43] falken https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429717171002933269/640228323494199296/DSC_3429.JPG [16:45:21] Which way is fore?
