[00:05:04] ...suddenly realizing why callie's birthday is 4/4 [00:32:36] I guess "Untitled Space Craft" is as good a name for my firsts Elite Dangerous craft as any other [00:39:08] hah [00:40:14] Electron should do that :). [01:06:38] "Can't connect to Frontier servers" - well, that's uneventful [01:18:05] looks like it doesn't like my VPN connection. weird [02:18:50] I heard that in the early Russian space program, they were running rockets on basically straigt alcohol [02:18:54] and the fuel kept going missing [02:19:11] so they ended up putting laxatives in the fuel and seeing who called in sick the next day [02:20:54] Would have to be extremely early (probably back around the R-1) [02:21:19] ...if that's true, it might be an anecdote in Rockets and People [02:48:13] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [03:46:16] @raptop, scott manley did a video on it I think [03:47:45] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eauxlp1wN8Q [03:59:26] ah, germans, not russians [04:00:14] ooh, shoutout to Anatoly Zak [04:58:32] Auto-Dock, Auto-Launch, Supercruise Assist, Hyperjump Assist. it's all MechJebbed :) [04:58:56] enslaved jeb [05:00:00] in danger of racking up some speeding tickets, though [05:06:08] supercruise implies spending excessive time in-atmo [05:08:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:09:33] there's no atmo where I'm going. my first delivery missions in E:D [05:09:42] forgot to pick up the cargo on the first run [05:10:50] hehehe [05:11:09] i think there is no planet where you can land on and has atmosphere in the current version [05:12:13] I probably should deactivate the docking computer. I practiced entering stations and landing at the pads [05:12:56] i dont even have one [05:13:17] it is scary when it takes over. and known to cause crashes [05:13:59] in e:d it is not too hard to dock. in elite 2 frontier it was quite hard [05:14:31] I so love it when the docking computer gets my Anaconda stuck in the toaster rack [05:17:32] hehe sometimes i manage to do that too [05:18:49] i slept too much. now i need to watch back the zombie building a brudge [05:19:11] I'll buy some markings for my noob sidewinder. Name "Untitled Space Craft", ID Plate "SPCBL1" [05:19:20] hehe [06:34:08] Althego: so it took me entirely too long to realize why callie's birthday is 4/4 [06:34:29] i dont know even now [06:35:32] 4 means death, see… [06:35:44] Action: UmbralRaptop considers annoying people by writing 四月四日as 死月死日 [06:36:12] hehe [06:36:33] gura didnt call her [06:36:49] ow [08:24:27] and the tests continue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3uVwJB1qUk [08:44:45] packbart: I see you couldn't resist the steam sale. :D [08:45:34] the untitled spacecraft is still funny [08:47:02] oh no, another zombie stream is ocming up and i didnt even finish watching the previous one [08:55:24] Mat2ch: I heard so much about E:D over the years and never had a look at it. so yeah, couldn't resist [08:55:46] almost flew into a sun... [08:56:08] you cant really [08:56:11] ok you can [08:56:19] but normally the game stops you [08:57:13] well, smoke was rising in the cockpit and sparks flew [08:58:40] i guess i will be going with 3 streams in parallel for a while [08:58:53] but i almost caught up with the part where i started to watch [09:05:12] https://mailchi.mp/copsub.com/upcoming-bpm5-engine-test-campaign-april-4th-and-5th-1838119 BPM5 engine test today - Livestream starting at 11.15AM CEST! (9:15 UTC) [09:05:27] stream t-8 [09:10:19] delayed 30 minutes [09:10:47] ok down to one stream temporarily [09:53:16] CS stream live [10:21:24] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg [10:21:27] Dragon redocking. [10:21:32] Althego: next stream for you. :D [10:22:50] i can keep up with 3 if i am not reading [10:23:44] are those dents there normal?! Or micrometeroids? [10:25:37] where [10:25:47] on the station there are many small holes [10:25:57] dragon shouldnt have too many [10:29:33] some springs push it apart? [10:29:55] no springs [10:29:58] just thrusters [10:30:47] IDA does have springs for soft-capture [10:31:03] Are they used while undocking? no idea [10:31:15] *NDS [10:31:36] I keep forgetting which docking thing is which :p [10:31:49] no, there are no springs for undocking [10:32:58] that windows stuff still triggers me. :P [10:45:09] i'm worried that my shuttle won't have sufficient power for mining on the moons of jool [10:45:33] i'm already struggling with power on duna [10:47:23] CS burn t-30 s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3uVwJB1qUk [10:48:35] lot of flames [10:59:47] Action: flayer programs a robotic worker drone [11:15:21] what about a floating mining rig in the shallows of laythe? [11:20:00] Action: flayer starts building it in the SPH as he does with any surface base [11:20:28] Action: flayer has to figure out how deep it can go and quickly switches to the VAB [11:47:08] rocket tests in snow. and we could even see the used injector plate [11:47:19] down to one stream, finally [11:52:30] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1379022709737275393 [11:52:32] about sn11 [12:01:22] yeah [12:01:24] sad. :( [12:04:09] i thought they had redundant control systems in each engine [12:04:22] at least it is tracable to something [12:05:53] so the hard start push the raptor through the bulk head which caused the following explosion. Seams reasonable [12:06:09] or just simply exploded [12:06:37] the raptors looked pretty much intact... just a bit flattend [12:06:53] *flatter than usual [12:06:56] :D [12:07:22] i wonder how they are building the 28 raptor thrust puck [12:07:32] things you learn, when you play KSP and have huge wobbely crafts: Throttle up slowly. [12:07:44] or just turn off sas [12:07:54] it tends to make it worse because of feedback [12:08:05] the instant kick from the engine can rip of things... [12:16:59] wait a minute, i can double the length by adding another hinge! [13:25:37] countdown is running [13:26:23] hehe a piece of material was blown on the camera [13:30:37] how often do they want to test that engine? [13:30:57] they have like 3 sets of different injectors [13:31:12] there is also a film cooled and just regeneratively cooled version [13:33:12] oh, wow, they are really testing stuff there. [13:39:06] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUbmmI5utBc [14:11:19] high duration burn [14:11:53] CS burn t-30 s [14:11:54] countdown [14:12:38] who is testing stuff? [14:12:53] nice [14:12:56] copenhagen suborbitals [14:13:31] no roar [14:13:43] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3uVwJB1qUk [14:14:02] it was shaking really hard [14:38:02] it looks like SpaceX is getting ready to lift the orbital launch table on its legs [14:38:25] or the crane is for SN15 [14:38:37] probably the latter [14:40:19] Yeah [14:41:00] I'd be surprised if they *can* lift the launch table with any of the currently-assembled cranes, that thing must be hundreds of tons [14:41:27] they have two now... [14:41:36] Not sure if the second one is already complete [17:37:29] tech ingredients about rum, after rockets [17:37:38] doesnt matter, it is always interesting [17:37:55] and while the guy is talking, i can try to use a pipe to release cramps in my back muscles [20:28:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:07:58] https://twitter.com/Thomas38697956/status/1378804764025184261 [21:08:04] the difference in nozzle size is impressive [22:02:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v phroa' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:07:11] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7UcN2CRtsY [22:07:48] KSP on console seems totally painful to play [22:08:03] if I tried that game, I would give it back instantly... [22:09:35] utterly terrible control. [23:38:49] hows the performance?
