[01:39:50] can anyone tell me how to get a svg of the planets orbits on a specific date in history? [01:43:22] I have questions about this, but am not sure how to best ask them. [01:44:28] 1) Does it have to be an SVG, or is another image format acceptable? (Or is this an ephemeris question?) [01:45:19] 2) Do you mean stock KSP? (where the planets are on rails), or some n-body thing? [01:48:38] Assuming that you want a screenshot of where the stock KSP planets are, you can create a save, and then edit the time (via a text editor on the sfs file) to what you want. Then load the game, go to the tracking station, setup the view you want, and press F1. [01:52:49] Oh, come on! [01:53:01] All that work and they disconnected?! [01:53:32] If they'd said anything after the initial question& [01:53:57] But they might have never even seen the response >_< [01:55:13] Note to self: troll people by taking screenshots as FITS files.

[12:44:59] because im losing my patience over making a turned mold and this just won't work [12:45:48] maybe with a lathe [12:45:54] I don't have that [12:46:06] drill press? [12:46:28] tried [12:46:30] doesn't work [12:46:34] hehe [12:46:45] how it's made? rocket nozzles :) [12:47:32] and plumbus of course [12:48:02] maybe make an aerospike?

[18:56:22] omg [18:56:42] they want me to test the twin-boar at the launch site. I can probably build something useful around that. [18:57:04] very simple [18:57:05] remove fuel [18:57:19] or the other way is, if you want to burn it, turn it upside down [18:57:31] but i usually just remove fuel, the test counts nonetheless [18:58:27] and he mixed screams and roars from the original doom on bunnies yawning [18:58:49] thanks [19:17:01] I saw peoples arguing that a helicopter rotor isn't a gyroscope because it isn't a solid disc [19:19:14] lol [19:19:21] and yet it is called rotor disc [19:19:33] yeah [19:19:46] and somewhat behaves as a disc as a wing surface [19:19:57] you know about gyroscopic precession and how the rotor blades change pitch 90° out of phase [19:20:11] some peoples say that it's because of control lag but eh [19:20:24] pretty sure it's good ol gyroscopic effect [19:22:48] also how single bladed rotors work [19:22:54] what do you mean change pitch? [19:23:00] more efficient and actually more agile than dual rotor [19:23:22] you know that rotor blades change their pitch while they rotate to move the heli around [19:23:31] they flap down on one side and up on the other because of the air moving past them [19:23:39] *sigh* I just returned a probe from orbit and now it's sinking and I can't recover [19:23:51] they change pitch because of the cyclyc and the collective [19:23:55] cyclic [19:24:20] yeah [19:24:30] Oh well, I got the "return from orbit" contract complete, anyway [19:24:30] but im not sure I understand that flap thing means [19:24:49] birds flap their wings up and down [19:25:12] well the rotor blades aren't really supposed to move up and down that much [19:25:14] similar way rotor blades flap up and down as they move from one side to the other [19:25:19] they do flex a bit [19:25:22] yes, that [19:25:45] the whole thing is supposed to rotate, not just the blades [19:26:01] but there are some helis with free moving heads that can swivel around the shaft [19:37:55] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zj_JtleHlM [19:37:56] YouTube - Dissymmetry of Lift [19:38:33] helicopters are complicated [19:39:08] yeah [19:39:09] uh [19:39:19] I need to find some wire that burns at like two amps [19:39:33] a 2 amp fuse? :) [19:39:51] well I was using a single iron strand from some womputer wire [19:40:10] didn't get hot but the wires I used it to connect to the battery almost melted [19:41:21] nobody does high altitude balloon and rocket combo to go even higher. why? nose did that for the supersonic decelerator [19:41:52] but there are these high altitude balloon videos and it is always just balloons [19:44:08] so if I connect the tiny piece of wire direclty it does burn [19:44:28] guess I need wire with less resistance for the part that isn't supposed to burn then [19:44:53] one of the big ones has some plans for a balloon and rocket combo but I forget all the specifics including which one [19:45:11] also unsure if they're even beyond looking at viability [19:52:17] ey [19:52:25] hi [19:52:29] ergh [19:52:37] I just bought the game [19:52:38] i hate this misfeature [19:52:49] on a mav OS and it doesn't run well [19:52:51] damn [19:52:56] mac* [19:53:24] few people use that [19:53:36] transitbiker for example, not here now [19:53:56] hmm, new scott video [19:54:54] igniting rocket candy with a piezo doesn't work [19:56:18] i dont know about that [19:56:46] but i know that some explosives or fuels are hard to get on flame [19:57:37] I guess I could pack some of the dust in a paper tube for ignition [20:00:29] and peoples say to not hit it/drop it/scratch it too hard because it could catch fire [20:00:30] eh [20:00:34] is not hypergolics [20:10:57] so in the video... it seems wind turbines would work on mars [20:11:14] witht he puny atmospheric presure? [20:11:14] because of reasons (higher speeds and colder air with different composition) [20:13:17] colder air is denser, carbon dioxide is denser at the same pressure, and lot higher wind speeds, all combined together make it a possibility [20:13:38] and they are relatively easy to create onsite unlike solar panels [20:17:42] I packed a bunch of candy rocket fragments in a paper tube I guess this would work as a fuse [20:21:31] I burned candy rocket in my room and now it smells like burnt stuff [20:21:46] my left achilles tendon started to hurt this morning randomly [20:21:56] maybe a sign of old age already [20:22:38] you are becoming a grandpa [20:22:45] you need to go to space while you still can [20:22:53] without offspring that is impossible [20:23:01] but you know my right shoulder hurts when I sneeze so idk [20:24:01] my left knee hurts sometimes, but that has been like that for like 35 years [20:24:05] *25 [20:24:30] however this is new [20:24:31] the human body is a nice machine but some parts are poorly designed [21:21:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:44:43] There's an old joke about how God wasn't a civil engineer because who puts a waste facility next door to an amusement park. [21:45:55] heh [21:52:00] Is there a collection of conventional wisdom on improving the visual experience without significantly impacting performance? [21:52:49] Which visual mods are low-impact performance-wise and high-impact to the player? :-) [21:55:15] I just manage to stab myself with 5 cutter blades at once [21:55:39] On purpose? [21:55:50] why would I do that on purpose [21:56:04] I... don't know. [21:56:40] I opened my box of blades and have a little issue [21:57:00] Ah. I had an artist friend who had this nifty multiple-parallel-blades thing she used for cutting paper and plastic. [21:57:38] nice [21:57:57] So that's what I was picturing you playing with and maybe poking yourself to see if it hurt or something crazy like that. [21:58:09] the blades I have are really sharp [21:58:16] like graphics artist stuff [21:58:27] more pointy that usual ones as well [21:58:55] those ones https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41RxCxfh23L.jpg [21:59:49] I had a slidy safety knife that used those. [22:00:18] those are great [22:00:24] but get dull rather fast [22:00:40] but well, I got two and a half boxes of those for free [22:02:11] Best price [22:02:21] yeah [22:07:04] Looks like Planetshine is no longer actively supported. I did like the way it changed the ambient light. [22:14:13] Hah! Auroras come from EVE, now I know. [22:44:00] Hrm. I'm seeing KER output on a vehicle which doesn't have a KER part, and I don't have KER-everywhere (or whatever it's called) installed. Wonder why? [23:43:52] Mathuin, there's a setting in VAB to enable it Partless. I always do. Other than that, having an Engineer aboard grants KER
