[06:06:42] sigh.. I keep meaning to work on a mission, but.... distractions, mood isn't quite there like it used to be. :( [09:53:16] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:08:27] Fluburtur, I know I'm late writing it, but... https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/166447-the-moderation-nation-space-program/&do=findComment&comment=3735717 [10:17:00] Ah, a thread from 2017. Such a nice year. I quit my job there. :D [10:47:18] Heh, nice :) [10:47:45] It's taken me longer to write up that report than it took to actually do the mission, and I'm still not done [10:52:02] You have no idea. I had to use Hyperedit, because the game kept screwing with me :( [10:52:34] It doesn't manage my 500 part behemoth very well... [11:34:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:56:01] Maybe I should give up on this game. I can't undock the miner... [13:56:07] I click undock and nothing happens. [13:56:08] Nice.

[16:00:16] "I’m kind of shocked at the number of KSP players that embark on epic journeys without doing basic mission planning" - uh, well, every time I think about maybe creating a spreadsheet or using Matlab-Tools, I say to myself "that's getting in too deep" [16:00:56] some rough dV and launch window calculations are ok [16:01:01] I draw on my whiteboard and that's usually enough [16:01:04] some checklists [16:02:48] where's the fun? [16:03:09] the fun is in the calculations [16:05:36] I calculate by adding dvs. [16:06:09] Launch window is by trial and error iteration. [16:06:35] Recently I didn't fine tune the launch date and used a bit more dv instead. [16:06:45] like 10 m/s. [16:07:00] When I flew my helicopter to Duna. [16:07:45] Earlier I used the rocket equation. [16:08:16] With RSS I used http://sdg.aero.upm.es/index.php/online-apps/porkchop-plot for rough departure dates. [16:09:31] darsie: I really hope we get a good MP for KSP2. [16:09:52] So people who like planning can do the planning, others can do the building and then there are the flyers [16:10:10] and everyone can add their part and don't have to care about things they don't like [16:10:41] also my Jool ship hat 8k dV. Which is usually enough, when you don't get thrown out of the system. grrrr [16:13:17] I was looking at https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/33568-winmaclinux-ksp-trajectory-optimization-tool-v164-new-vehicle-sizing-tool/ and decided that I'm not ready yet for *that* level of mission planning [16:15:42] hrhrhr [16:17:17] Kerbal Excel Program is a perfectly reasonable way to play [16:17:25] no, that is eve [16:29:45] eve is a planet [16:29:54] and a game [16:30:11] i played spreadsheets online [16:30:14] And a character in a story. [16:30:21] also evening [16:30:41] good afternoon [16:31:01] Good afterevening. [16:33:24] after evening, tht is night [16:33:42] KSC - After Dark [16:33:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:34:20] hehe anybody remembers the after dark screensavers? [16:36:35] "Flying Toasters" redirects here. [16:36:38] I didn't ;) [16:36:40] hehe [16:37:00] I heard about the Flying Toasters screensaver [16:37:22] that was one [16:37:50] i likes it better than the modern version in xscreensavers where they have little jet wings. the original had flapping bird wings [16:38:03] and the toast color was also settable [16:45:59] ::?:??:?:?::?:?scott didnt talk about the end of spitzer [16:58:46] F [16:58:58] neither did he talk about the spy satellite stalking dance in the sky [16:59:13] what [17:00:05] random article: https://nytimespost.com/russian-satellite-appears-to-be-stalking-us-satellite/ [17:00:26] russia performed a rendezvous maneuver to keep its "inspection" sat in sight of a US spy sat [17:00:34] the US now moved its sat further away [17:00:49] hehe [17:01:03] yandresat [17:01:13] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:03:56] I'd move my sat in a way that it flies as long over Russia as possible now. You're trolling me, I'm trolling you. ;) [17:04:35] Well, Russia is the largest country, so… [17:05:29] I guess some geosynchronous orbit would do that trick. [17:06:14] молния! [17:06:27] Molnir! [17:06:51] molniya? [17:06:59] molniya [17:07:24] The "я" is a "ya" [17:08:53] mu generation barely missed learning russian [17:08:56] *my [17:09:31] I don't know much Russian, but some Cyrillic. [17:09:46] i can only curse in russian [17:10:36] darsie: pretty much same [17:10:52] Приве́т! [17:10:54] :) [17:10:56] privet [17:10:59] \o [17:11:40] как у вас дела́? [17:12:06] other important words: токама́к, Черенко́в, Чебышёв [17:13:42] Well, "important" ;) [17:15:30] Action: UmbralRaptop should probably look up reactor terms [17:17:52] Action: darsie can't figure out the last one. [17:18:34] Tshebishev? [17:18:52] The stochastics guy ;P [17:19:47] more like a filter to me [17:20:32] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_filter [17:20:41] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pafnuty_Chebyshev [17:20:53] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev%27s_inequality [17:21:04] that is important [17:21:41] but filters are more important :) [17:22:45] But many people don't use Chebyshev filters at all. [17:22:49] Черенков [17:22:53] And most filters today are done in software... [17:23:10] since basically everything is a fitler :) [17:23:30] hm. copy&paste fail [17:37:38] his name has hundreds of different transliterations [17:45:10] oh, good old times at the uni [17:45:24] hehe [17:46:17] nowadays most of the science I do is in KSP :) [17:46:32] hehe [17:53:34] There's always grad school [17:57:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:59:29] hehe, returning to airport after takeoff, because there was a bird flying inside the cockpit :) [18:02:51] the bird wasn't type-rated for the aircraft? [18:03:13] probably a distraction [18:04:46] sadly no report on avherald.com, yet ;) [18:05:05] probably old story [18:05:24] ah, I see [18:07:16] a search says https://avherald.com/h?article=3f129f0e "Incident: Elal B737 at Tel Aviv on Mar 15th 2007, bird at the controls prevents takeoff" [18:07:56] around 2 years old, or even older https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X_Ke__ir9w [18:08:32] Another 737 problem? <_< [18:08:45] so it happens more often than I thought :) [18:09:27] the hitting a deer during takeoff is better [18:11:03] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:14:10] another Boeing problem [18:40:09] anyone experiencing problems with drag on fairings? [18:40:25] I tend to remove fairings because it creates too much drag and the rocket tips over [18:41:24] oof... fun times trying to relearn OBS.. >.< [18:41:55] doing a test run for some KSP stuff... trying to push myself to finally do some recording [18:53:52] hatrix: don [18:53:54] err [18:54:03] hatrix: don't make the fairing the root part [18:54:08] it will have unshielded drag [18:54:29] otherwise they work fine for me. creating a bit much lift at the top of the rocket, sometimes [18:55:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:33:43] oh packbart [19:33:46] that might be why [19:34:10] It's usually the top of the booster, so I put the fairing as the root part to move the rocket around [20:00:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:01:19] Last message repeated 1 time(s).

I always end up with like 5 "Duna Orbital Station" around Duna or else [20:11:10] I started doing something like "5P Orbital station + relay" but there must be a better way to describe crafts [20:11:37] Theme names? [20:11:58] do you have an example? [20:12:33] eg: Nergal, Ares, etc for Duna missions [20:12:58] Or, like, xl [20:13:00] er [20:13:16] that's a good idea [20:13:20] probes have boring names. KerbRelay, DunaRelay, DMOSat A. stations might have fancier names. I built Vertigo Station, Spiro Station and Minmus Hub [20:13:27] I'd need to keep tracks of capabilities of those missions though [20:13:34] Spiro had a lot of toroidal tanks [20:16:25] unfortunately, stock KSP doesn't have any tanks named E2 [20:18:20] er, wait. wrong channel for that sort of joke [20:19:52] btw way, did you know that the huge squids living in the ocean have a toroidal brain with their esophagus going through the center hole? [20:26:18] odd [20:35:01] Donut brain.. Homer would be jealous [20:35:27] eating through donut brain. maybe eating donuts through donut brain [20:43:53] around and around we go [20:45:25] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zd9hURkmXM [20:45:32] and with that.. duty calls [21:00:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:39:00] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:10:40] Well, the docking port is really stuck. [22:11:03] I hate this. I really do. Why do they even have something in the configuration file saying that a docking port is docked? [22:11:24] If there's a part attached to a docking port, then it's docked. It's as easy as this. [22:11:32] Why save it somewhere? [22:11:45] Sometimes I question my fellow coders...
