[05:38:40] unsure, haven't read the article [05:39:11] Ah OK. I read the article and later saw he had a video, but I haven't seen it [05:39:15] ok, checked the article: probably nothing new [05:39:51] I guess we knew something was wrong when they suddenly took KSP2 in house [05:40:47] yup [05:40:58] I don't think we're likely to get any in-depth response from T2. They are also under NDA, presumably. [05:42:49] yeah... it's a shame [05:43:07] i'm not sure i'm going to buy ksp 2 unless something else happens [05:43:28] I was sad when I read the article, but I'm wary of one-sided reporting [05:44:34] of course [05:44:57] News outlets themselves often have famously unethical business practises. They have a financial interest in putting out sensational stories. [05:45:46] if any of the news is true then ksp 2 is likely also a cash grab [05:48:58] I think it's unrealistic to believe that any company the size of TakeTwo would invest in something as expensive as KSP must have been without intending to make a lot of money on it [05:51:16] From that one article, there are a few important insights: 1) Star Theory was in financial trouble (and were trying to sell to TakeTwo). [05:51:48] 2) TakeTwo would have been aware that this would seriously disrupt the development process, which would not be in their favour [05:52:17] 3) They offered to hire the entire crew of a failing company [05:52:28] hmmm. that's a good point there [05:53:39] 4) Patrick Meade from Star Theory was absolutely in it for the prestige and money: "he wouldn't have the same degree of influence or financial benefits" [05:55:37] So, without any more information than this one article that was based on interviews with five people who disrespected their NDA in order to be a part of the story, it seems like the prudent thing for me to do it not get involved in what was, and should remain, an internal business dispute. [05:59:11] i'm not sure about the last point - a lot of people are driven by other things than money or prestige. for all we know Meade could just be frustrated with corporate policies and prefers being his own boss [05:59:49] As I said, this is according to the article [06:00:00] So any and all points may be wrong :) [06:00:36] ok financial benefits i kinda get [06:01:03] but the upside of having influence over what you're doing and how you're doing is significant [06:03:09] Sure. To be clear, I'm not defending TakeTwo here. I have no inside information [06:03:49] aye [06:04:16] I'm just saying that it might be a good idea to be sceptical when a news outlet publishes something like that, with only a single source and no statement from the other party (which is what journalists are supposed to do, by the way) [06:13:34] With those same interviews, another news outlet could have spun it a different way. "Media giant TakeTwo takes pitty on the little guy - saves entire development crew" [06:24:24] As for anyone planning not to get KSP2, well, all I can say is that I applaud your integrity and willingness to make personal sacrifices to stand up for things that are important to you. I hope you do that same in all areas of life. [06:29:49] I hope you're not being sarcastic [06:30:07] No, that was a sincere comment. [06:31:44] People should do that more. If everyone voted with their wallets against unethical treatment of people and animals, there wouldn't be mass deforestation, child labour, pollution and exploitation. [06:32:22] Well, I try to! (in other areas of life, too) [06:32:33] But most people are willing to sacrifice those things because they want something for themselves. [06:33:11] Good for you, Black_Eagle. [06:34:41] I'm still a little bit away from preaching to others [06:38:31] but on the topic: i'm not sure if i'm making the right decision in boycotting T2 but their record with KSP 1 hasn't been flawless. i for one don't like the paid DLCs. I kind of get one if it adds a lot of content but the ones we've seen don't really add anything a good mod couldn't add [06:45:55] I think the Robotics DLC adds so much content that it's definitely worthy of the asking price, personally. Making History... not so much [06:46:47] should i buy robotics? [06:46:49] But, you know, DLCs were not TakeTwo's idea. Squad were planning DLCs since at least 2013 [06:47:08] Source: https://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com/post/47730955705/expansions-dlc-and-the-future-of-ksp [06:47:18] weren't they intending for the DLCs to be free, though? [06:48:02] ah, right [06:48:28] They were never intended to be free. They gave them free to people who bought the game before the end of April 2013 because of a misunderstanding, and TakeTwo has honoured that [06:48:44] fair [06:54:34] Oh wow, this is so well done! https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/gujrc2/eagle_5_spaceballs/ [06:57:15] Making History has some nice parts, by the way. I love the structural plates [06:57:58] But it's pretty expensive if you are only interested in the parts and don't care about the mission builder. [06:59:45] i'll get a dlc once they start printing more .625m engines, tanks and other stuff [07:00:04] Breaking Ground, though... full-on robotics (hinges, motors, programmable controller), propellers and helicopter blades, motors... plus all the science and exploration stuff [07:00:15] but even then i gotta think twice if i want to support t2 [07:00:26] Yeah .625 is a very neglected size [07:01:12] one mod i tried (!!!) had some 625 parts and it changed everything [07:01:24] .625 SRBs are soooo nice, though [07:01:26] for example a small nuke [07:02:03] Are the mini SRBs in the stock game or are they DLC content? [07:02:52] i'll check really quickly [07:04:03] stock [07:04:55] https://i.imgur.com/zGvPDfY.png [07:05:04] nice! [07:05:07] So useful :) [07:05:18] heh [07:05:53] i just like making tiny space planes and i wonder if i could make a Lf only but with moar boosters [07:15:08] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:15:26] chanlog [07:15:58] You mean LF + SRB? [07:16:25] We're not talking about SSTO, presumably? [07:16:53] SRB+Xenon would be a good combination for a mini spaceplane [07:20:22] The new boosters have lots of ΔV, even the small one (just mind the payload) [07:20:32] Judge_Dedd: indeed lf+srb and one stage (to get rid of the srbs) [07:20:48] but srb + xenon sounds interesting too [08:22:40] packbart: yeah, no idea what to think of it. Did Star Theory screw up? Was it a hostile overtake? [08:22:42] What happend there? [08:51:27] Mat2ch, see backscroll [08:51:53] Black_Eagle and I were talking about it a little while back [08:53:39] Black_Eagle, I think SRB+Xenon is an interesting idea because the ion thrusters do come in size 0 [08:58:44] Judge_Dedd: but that's so much too read ;) [08:58:46] will do anyway [08:59:00] but first, SN6 thrust structure flip [08:59:06] flip it! [08:59:11] flip it now! [08:59:37] What's SN6? [08:59:53] Oh wait, are we talking about Starship? [09:00:04] They have SN6 already? [09:04:07] SN4 was blown up, SN5 is waiting for the test stand to get ready and SN6 is already getting stacked [09:04:25] SN7 has some parts done and also we might have seen parts for SN8 [09:04:49] At that rate we might see tests with SN5 next week [09:06:50] Cool. What's the "structure flip" about? [09:08:49] That's the part where the engines are mounted to [09:09:02] they weld this upside down, which makes it easier I guess [09:09:07] and then it has to be flipped [09:09:16] and after that they can stack everything else ontop of it [09:10:28] Judge_Dedd: adding to your discussion: Voting with the wallet is something you have to have the privilege to. Many people life just day by day and have to go for the low-cost things. [09:11:08] And that's how they also buy games, which are a cheap recreation choice, when you don't want to watch tv [09:11:46] Well, this might scratch politics here, so I'm going to stop [09:11:50] Valid points. [09:12:40] I don't think it's gone into politics quite yet, but I can see how easily it could do :) [09:13:17] Thanks for the explanation about the flipping structure [09:16:21] Then let me add one last sentence: We live in a very complex world and I spent too much time each day already trying to make sense of it. And I'm well educated and therefore very privileged, but I still can't comprehend it all. Many others don't neither have the knowledge, nor the luxury of time to do this. Also it slowly drives me mad, because I have often have to do decisions between [09:16:23] buying the cheap stuff and therefore supporting exploiting workforce or just stay hungry [09:16:40] Also I watch the SN update videos, so ask if you want to know more :) [09:17:09] (I want more robots doing the labor intensive work!) [09:19:06] also my mood today: https://xkcd.com/2315/ ;) [09:26:06] Hehe [10:01:59] yeah, when working alone on a project it's sometimes hard to motivate myself [10:05:14] https://twitter.com/nickwalton00/status/1239619179721797633 [10:05:14] Someone on Reddit used AI Dungeon to generate Coronavirus advice. It started out pretty good and then got creepy... https://t.co/Z8spk6aCjp [10:08:30] Nice, if it's true [10:08:36] "someone" [10:09:00] I dunno. I read that as "I made this. Would have been funny if it came from an AI" [10:14:30] wow scott released a video when i could have watched it [10:14:37] but i was not looking for it because i was working [10:20:43] "working" [10:20:45] ;) [10:20:53] I did some funky c++ stuff today and I'm not ashamed of it. [10:22:40] also I haven't tried them yet. So could still be crap ;) [10:24:44] Works. Nice. Noone should know. ;) [10:45:59] Interesting. I just found out that Atheism is defined as a religious belief in Sweden [10:46:03] Hehe [10:46:09] hehe [10:46:13] Funny definition [11:23:31] how odd https://www.flightradar24.com/ASCOT491/24a0ea1d [11:24:22] it's cloudy and it was quite low [11:37:45] Just took off [11:39:01] why is this interesting? [11:42:35] flying in circles [11:42:53] there must be something on [11:43:37] holding pattern or practice [11:45:23] "Air Support Command Operational Transport" - flying truck [11:46:05] ascot is just a callsign [11:46:22] zoom in, it was doing circuits at edinburgh airport [11:46:33] which is logical if you try to land [11:46:48] well, touch & goes [11:47:00] and in that case it is a practice [11:47:02] use adsbexchange, it's got more tracks [11:47:35] wouldn't have noticed it otherwise, I'm not near the airport [11:48:18] ther' another one down south visiting airports [11:48:20] FR24 filters some military flights and police helictopters [11:48:24] I could see it out the window [11:49:23] VanDisaster: right, even more loops. https://www.flightradar24.com/ASCOT465/24a0ebd2 [11:49:32] https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/?icao=43c5ed [11:49:46] well, let them enjoy the weather ;) [11:50:00] the weather isn't good [11:50:20] dont worry, no taxpayer money is wasted on the fuel, since jets dont even use fuel to begin with :) [11:50:30] ok in this case turboprop, but almost [11:50:41] idiotic conspiracies [11:51:09] and rockets dont' work in space because there's nothing to push against, right? :D [11:51:15] yes, that too [11:51:50] rockets hit the dome, cant fly out of low earth orbit because of van allen belts, the moon is just a light in the sky, etc [11:52:31] I wouldn't stand 5G for long, either [11:52:49] -5 would be worse, though [11:52:50] ah yes, 5g causes covid-19 [12:07:12] boring. That's just holding loops, because the runway is not clear [12:17:00] also boring, they're landing at Stornoway [12:18:58] no, they're climbing again [12:19:23] and flying back. So, now you can start your conspiracy theories. I say training flight ;) [12:21:13] or just testing runways that haven't seen any planes in a while before the passenger planes arrive [12:22:47] They didn't touch down on Stornoway [12:22:56] on? in? at? [12:23:12] and all the other airports see a few flights per day [12:23:16] but nothing like before [12:23:32] (and hopefully never. I fear for this summer, I have no AC ) [12:24:08] the new office doesn [12:24:19] err, doesn't have one installed, yet, either [12:24:25] oh no, they're turning [12:27:00] Action: Judge_Dedd reads backscroll [12:28:15] Rockets don't even try going to space. Watch any launch - they go sideways! They even say so if you listen in on the secret chat that they accidentally broadcast every time [12:28:27] They say "pitching downrange" [12:29:04] Action: Judge_Dedd feels dirty for writing that [12:29:07] well of course they go sideways, then drop below the disc and get eaten by the turtle [12:29:20] everybodyknowsthat [12:29:51] OH RIGHT! That's what it's all about! They have to feed the turtle otherwise it will swim underwater looking for food and we'll all drown [12:30:06] And it'll flood the hollow earth completely [12:47:50] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:48:53] what if... earth is flat AND hollow? [12:49:04] then it would float nicely without the turtle too [12:49:26] a hollow 2d structure [12:50:57] flat does not mean it needs to be without thickness [12:51:29] flat earther phrase: water is flat and level [12:51:39] flat also doesnt mean level [12:52:53] cat earth, if it was flat, the cats would have pushed everything off it by now [12:54:41] oh yes, jets dont use fuel, but jet fuel cant melt steel beams :) [12:57:25] Argon can melt steel beams, too. [13:01:27] found my problem, I forgot that a day was 6 hours [13:01:51] so my calculations were all wrong [13:03:06] Ah, you were on metric days [13:04:18] now I need to get the maximum distance I can used for my satellites [13:04:29] so that I know how many I need in my relay network [13:07:30] where can I find the rating of antennas? [13:07:35] I don't see it on the wiki [13:08:09] then in the config files :) [13:10:43] hatrix, https://i.imgur.com/o9oFp4W.png [13:12:39] Actually, this one's newer https://i.imgur.com/BqglcNH.png [13:13:29] I need the rating of individual antennas so that I can solve some equations [13:15:47] it shows in the part info in the VAB. and there's something on the Wiki. https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/CommNet#Range_calculation [13:16:25] of course, there's also an App for that. https://spacedock.info/mod/1730/Antenna%20Helper [13:16:32] ok so the VAB it is :) [13:29:35] 3 satellites in geosync orbit of Kerbin should be able to talk with each other with just this one apparently https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/HG-5_High_Gain_Antenna [13:29:48] but I'm not so sure [13:30:31] the hg-5 is awesome [13:32:20] two sats with a HG-5 each can talk up to a distance of 5000km. that's a bit short for synchronous orbit? [13:33:05] hmm, can be, i always use them as relay around kerbin, and then they jsut need to commuicate with hte nearest ground station [13:33:14] which is closer [13:33:25] but actually i never cared for synchronoous orbit [13:33:26] my calculations say the distance between the sats is 4959.43km :) [13:33:35] because 3 is enough except for the poles [13:33:57] unless you use some special mod, you dont need to put them in kerbin sync orbiy [13:34:00] I only ever used one synchronous sat doing RT [13:34:24] stuck it over KSC just to act as a huge antenna [13:34:24] what orbit would you use for a relay network around kerbin ? [13:34:39] Action: packbart just drops a triangle of relays around Kerbin, Mun and Minmus - and maybe one or two over the poles [13:35:06] although I was thinking about actually trying to set up the patented tetrahedral constellation in $this career [13:36:56] (I used this table to cheat the orbits in a sandbox - https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/155188-orbital-parameters-for-a-tetrahedral-satellite-constellation/ ) [13:39:07] screenshot broken :( [13:39:38] there's more info here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/31013-scenariotetrahedral-satellite-configuration-4-sat-full-surface-coverage/ or there: http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/3.20047 [13:39:50] it's a 4-sat constellation that provides 100% coverage all the time [13:40:32] ah yes saw it once [13:42:32] https://twitter.com/NASAInSight/status/1268208324261982208 [13:42:32] <✔NASAInSight> After several assists from my robotic arm, the mole appears to be underground. It’s been a real challenge troublesh… https://t.co/6EqYXRDkdh [13:42:35] save the mole [13:42:44] unless you plan extensive missions around the poles, the equatorial 3-sat triangle usually is good enough and far easier to set up, imo [13:43:37] ok now I need to figure out how combining antennas work, the wiki makes it difficult to understand [13:43:57] one H-G5 per sat is not enough for Rhode :/ [13:44:21] I can't find any sensible screenshots, I think these are from my first RT game ... apparently my answer to "which orbits" was "yes" - https://imgur.com/a/dpQL1Dp [13:44:33] well, if you ignore the arbitrary "combination factor", the equation is simple. sqrt((range1*n1)*(range2*n2)) [13:45:07] what's n1 and n2? [13:45:13] most antennas use 0.75, iirc (not sure if that shows up in the part info) [13:45:22] the number of antennas of the same type [13:46:07] and that gives the rating of the vessel? [13:47:47] so, a relay with 5 RA-100 talking to a probe with a single HG-5 would have a max distance of sqrt(100G*5*0.75*5M), so, uh, about 1.3Gm, if I didn't botch the calculation? [13:48:11] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:48:16] ok os used .75 [13:48:52] https://htx.fr/images/2020-04-06_15-48-37.png [13:49:02] that's the equation on the wiki [13:49:38] that's a lot VanDisaster :) [13:50:00] yes :p I think I went "oh I should use geosync" [13:50:13] and then realised after that I shouldn't & what I need are lots of low orbit [13:50:23] and then realised I needed polar orbits instead :p [13:50:27] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2_yl6bJmHQ [13:50:28] YouTube - The Key to Finding Life Elsewhere in the Universe: Purple Planets?!? [13:50:33] and then built some space station covered in antennae [13:50:33] hmm purple planets... eve [13:50:49] VanDisaster: what's making those hexagons on the planet surface? [13:50:58] that was kethane, I think [13:51:08] ancient resource mod [13:51:35] with 3 sats I've got 3913 km to cover, that means 2 HG-5 with a distance of 8400 km should be good [13:51:36] yeah, I heard about it. ScanSat and EL recommend it [13:52:19] but funny as it is, there is polygonal soil forming naturally on earth [13:54:55] giant bees on the way [13:55:54] Action: bees are buzzing [14:20:00] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:36:05] Video showed up in my recommended: Chrysler's shuttle proposal? Some sorta fat cone thing? [14:37:58] this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_SERV [14:38:12] na, that's old. hmm [14:38:54] ah, right. not a current proposal, I see [14:39:18] ( and yeah, interesting artist's impression https://eu.freep.com/story/money/business/2019/03/09/chrysler-tried-build-better-space-shuttle/3097167002/ ) [14:40:34] 'Going launch a MURP!'

[15:02:45] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:53:14] Heh.. 6 tourists into orbit. Ok so.. just stick two Mk1-3's back to back [17:53:54] or take one pilot with you in an capsule and a hitchiker, at least there is somebody to drive [17:53:58] and has better shape [17:54:01] huh... all six females [17:55:02] Are they singing? [17:55:08] They could be the Space Girls [17:55:21] ya only I did the mk1-3+hitchike can thing doesn't exactly like re-entry.. at least not straight [17:55:49] 2.5 m cargo bay with command seats is most economic. [17:56:06] hehe [17:56:16] Can make two rings with 8 seats each. [17:56:18] then you dont even need the cargo bay, just the seats :) [17:56:26] I've got a system where the two mk1-3s will separate from each other, land on their own shutes [17:56:28] *chuts [17:56:33] blah.. ok wahtever [17:57:19] can't do command seats, not unlocked yet [17:58:12] ok granted, its a seat, but unlock is at the 300 tier? [18:00:06] huh.. know anyone named Robin in the space industry? Or this just by chance? Robin Kerman.. [18:00:17] hehe [18:00:51] and away we go [18:00:58] and when that kerbal is fat, the nickname is round robin [18:01:28] the puns are hanging low today [18:01:28] so fat, your kerbal has its own gravity well [18:02:51] i dont know anybody famous related to space with the name robin [18:03:12] aw... can only do 5 kerbal portaits.. guess one kerbal left out unless I scroll over one [18:03:22] Can't transfer crew to a command seat. [18:03:24] 5? [18:03:34] i think you can increase the number of images qu9te a lot [18:03:36] you can add or take away slots [18:03:42] but may depend on screen resolution [18:03:45] mostly depends on screen res [18:03:50] running 1080 [18:03:58] yes that is pretty small [18:04:36] well I aint trying to run 4k [18:05:09] I used to run 720.. could only get two at a time [18:05:41] we need a mod that poses all the kerbals in the rocket for a picture [18:05:54] possibly in front of the vab or the rocket [18:07:17] I don't like launching people in command seats. Seems cheaty [18:07:47] yes even i hold myself to the principle to have some kind of cabin for the crew [18:07:48] Also, I like to imagine that I'm giving real people a ride rather than min-maxing in a game. So I want them to have a nice capsule to ride in [18:08:32] And, if possible, the craft should look cool - something that a rich person might want to pay a lot of money to have a ride in [18:08:43] ya... gotta have standards. ;) [18:09:01] just ask the gutamaya corporation :) [18:09:57] Althego: I had thought of a mod that would add a museum of sorts to your spaceport.. [18:10:12] hadn't considered the 'posing with craft' idea... [18:10:21] like first craft in orbit, firstc raft on the mun, etc? [18:10:59] ya something like that.. I guess I took inspiration from Project Gotham Racing [18:11:20] i would imagine something like this https://www.nasa.gov/images/content/122541main_STS121-S-002_516.jpg [18:11:52] They had a carshow sort of thing you could Firstperson through, look at the cars. [18:12:07] how big the museum would be? [18:12:13] with original size replicas? [18:12:23] or some miniatures? [18:13:03] lol... might have 'tweekscale' a bit.. I guess? It was mostly an idea at the time [18:13:36] even humans have some real spacecraft in museums [18:13:39] mostly the reentry part [18:13:43] except for the shuttle [18:13:52] NASA's first space battle cruiser on display.. (like in the Battlestar Galatica remake anyone?) [18:13:57] although that is the reentry part [18:15:05] shuttle, part rocket, part spacecraft, part airplane.. er wait.. glider [18:15:49] some people would say brick with wings, but it actually does glide. A brick would just go straight down [18:16:04] it glides with the same ratio as the osprey [18:17:13] laden or unladenned? [18:17:26] african or european? [18:17:59] seen mention of airspeed of a swallow, but they weren't sure if it was on an empty stomach or full [18:18:20] clay or concrete? [18:18:33] do not underestimate the aerodynamics of a good brick ;) [18:18:59] must capsules returning are an even more brick like object [18:19:06] and they still fly a little [18:19:37] oh btw, flying brick, when is the mars 2020 launch? [18:19:38] The Apollo CM had an L/D of what, 0.5? [18:19:56] that story.. they were testing airplane windows by shooting birds into them with a cannon. Couldn't figure out what was going on, all the tests were failing. Someone asked, 'did you remember to thaw the birds first?' [18:20:06] Althego: NET July 17 [18:20:21] thanks [18:20:25] a little bit more than a month [18:20:27] it is close [18:20:50] which means landing is in 2021 for sure [18:21:14] oh.. rover [18:21:28] JVFoxy: sadly https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/catapoultry/ [18:21:32] lol.. was thinking, SpaceX really on a roll.. going to Mars already? [18:21:33] it was called 2020 for so long that i always forget it has a real name now [18:21:59] hehe yes on a roll for explosions with the starship [18:22:06] Raptop I still remember the episode Mythbuster did on the subject [18:22:13] and we still dont know why it exploded last time [18:22:28] the border crossing thing? [18:22:38] "before switching to fake birds, the U.S. Air Force traditionally launched frozen ones." [18:22:44] frozen bird vs warm shot against window [18:22:57] ah the bird thing, i thought catapult means the border crossing [18:23:08] Althego didn't Scott say he thinks a fracture in the base possibly caused it? [18:23:29] even if he thinks, we dont know [18:23:39] spacex probably knows already [18:24:14] ... canon = catapult? [18:25:36] eh anyways.. [18:31:02] catapults are not the best launchers. you'd reach the highest speed deep in the atmosphere and you'd still need a second stage to accelerate to orbit [18:31:29] just get rid of th eatmosphere [18:31:51] call the Mega Maid [18:32:18] hehe [18:32:45] the password is 1... [18:33:38] hehe when i was still in simulation, and in the itar room, we were required to have a closable safe. as soon as it arrived i changed its code to 12345 :) [18:34:58] (there was never anything important in it. a small ball, a horn, a poem about the GA project, stuff like that) [18:37:19] I woulda 54321 just to mess with people [18:37:29] or 911... [18:37:38] no it had to be 12345 because of the movie [18:37:56] 911 is the service menu of the asys transports [18:38:00] also 199 [18:38:15] an even more service menu [18:41:29] I knew of the move ref [18:42:09] friend I used to visit would play it in the background at home all the time as something to kill the silence. Didn't care much for music [18:54:17] lol.. whoops, nearly landed on KSC.. [18:56:03] whoops or "nearly perfect" ? [18:58:09] sorry about dark pictures.. https://imgur.com/a/0LNyuxk [18:58:50] if i can land on the flat area around ksc i say it was acceptably close [18:59:19] was intending to land on the water.. heatshield on both exploded on touchdown [18:59:44] the capsules themselves are really tough, who cares about a burnt heat shield [19:00:33] Action: JVFoxy pokes net, ok whats going on, shouldn't be dropping me any more [19:00:42] i always struggle with this. heatshield or heat shield. looks like it is two words [19:03:34] ah.. quick look-up. Heat shield is the proper way.. Heatshield is some product [19:04:22] english is mostly separating the words. but not always. so why isnt it space craft then? [19:04:35] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/heatshield [19:04:48] I guess it can be either way... though aeroshell can also be used [19:06:11] I remember reading something a while back, talking about how strict and formal punctuation and the likes are becoming a bit less relevant in the age of typing...? [19:09:03] maybe I'm thinking of the double spaces after the period and how its not really used any more? [19:09:27] never a space comma :) [19:09:39] space comma, it can happen to you too [19:12:39] another really dumb thing i hate. the hungarian language is almost completely phonetical. except for a few things. like j and ly. both denote the same sound. but for proper written words you have to know which one to use. really annoying useless vestige [19:18:15] each language has its own nuances.. ya.. [19:19:21] wee... now to do a mun orbit mission, but first, pickup someone who got stranded in LKO along the way. [19:21:08] lol.. whoops, go to tap pitch up key, instead hit X, cut all engines [20:46:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:41:16] hello [21:44:44] \o [21:46:58] .

I like. That bug kept me from using it. Now antennas have network numbers/"frequencies" again [23:31:57] it also helps with the disbelief and gives the "probe control point" some use.
