[04:44:43] well well well no more elon static cylinder program [04:49:05] now the burning engine program [07:45:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Mod9000' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:43:41] Althego: and they hopped in the middle of the night :/ [08:44:06] But a glorious flight. Will rewatch several times :D [08:44:09] And the legs worked [08:44:41] But, uh, I had the feeling the can was a bit slanting to one side [08:48:49] insider cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1HA9LlFNM0 [08:48:49] YouTube - Starship SN5 150m Hop [09:12:51] 12 seconds [09:13:07] (please don't ask why I'm IRCing at 0512 local time) [09:18:22] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1290826885375696899 Weeeeeeeeeeeee [09:18:22] <✔elonmusk> @PPathole @TrevorMahlmann @arstechnica We’ll do several short hops to smooth out launch process, then go high altitude with body flaps [09:18:39] raptop: it's 11 here,you're fine. :D [09:22:01] yay [10:43:02] it seemed to me it was not fully vertical after landing [10:43:19] but with those legs in ksp it would have toppled instantly [10:56:41] not with enough reaction wheels and SAS [10:59:00] Althego: well, from other cams it looks like the cams are just not set up completely horizontal [10:59:09] and the legs have a crush core, so no bouncing there [10:59:32] well, maybe not crush, but some kind of shock absorbing that doesn't have a spring in it. [11:00:36] and the legs in KSP have problems, because they are also dampening sideways motion. Only the smallest legs do only vertical movement [12:52:16] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1HA9LlFNM0 Starship SN5 150m Hop [13:01:08] darsie: you are late to the party. :D [13:01:17] ok :) [13:01:45] You may comment on my Duna/Ike egg finds. [13:04:09] But I've watched it at least five times already [13:04:19] So amazing to see that thing fly. [13:04:33] I'm just a bit mad that they did it at 3:00 local time ;) [14:28:34] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QbM7Vsz3kg well, looking from this angle it looks a bit... leany [15:08:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:16:15] It does. Haven't clicked your link, though. [15:21:49] the link goes to the LabPadre live cam [15:22:11] It's just sitting there. Nobody working today. Probably having a party [15:22:24] under the wing roof things? [15:24:15] Maybe? Mary will show us tomorrow. :D [15:24:55] i think that part was not finished yet [15:25:23] doesn't matter, was a rave party in the dirt [15:25:50] it looks like they used a drone to follow the hop [15:25:56] so why didnt the drone fly closer? [15:26:28] according to plans there are going to be more hops [15:27:11] Althego: uh, the engine creates lots of turbulences. You shouldn't come to close there... [15:27:33] Hopefully they just take a crane, put it into the launch stand again and let it fly again :D [15:27:35] looksl ike they were hundreds of meters away [15:27:38] this time for longer? [15:27:55] well, you shouldn't come to close to turbulences. [15:28:35] If a big airplane starts then you should wait a considerable amount of time until a smaller one should takeoff [15:29:18] the drone wasnt under the starship [15:30:19] also in case of jets that air is rotating [15:30:26] not so for the starship [15:31:47] and there is always the risk of a big badaboom. And the drone costs money, too ;) [15:32:53] I really wonder if the landing legs just fold out by gravity [15:34:07] even if it is a dji mavic thing, even i could easily buy, it is peanuts. compared to say a spot robot [16:04:40] oh starlink 9 is in the schedule again [16:14:45] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:22:31] hi, is there a way to run ksp on a remote service, such as stadia or geforce, because my computer is pretty old [16:25:24] Baumfaust: It might be possible, to run it on Linux with X forwarding. There would probably be substantial lag, and the framerate may be low. [16:27:08] oh ok [16:27:23] why did geforce now remove it? [16:27:31] remove what? [16:27:33] I'd blame 2k [16:48:57] Action: raptop suddenly realizes that my scavenged laptop that's used for games counts as "pretty old" now [17:02:03] pacman is fine [17:03:41] The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by infocom :). [17:06:24] dungeons of moria should run on basically anything now [17:06:59] Factorio supposedly runs on anything [17:07:13] you still need graphics [17:07:17] and don't forget Doom [17:07:32] hehe doom that is ported to many things [17:08:39] I mean, if you mess around with sourceports and graphics mods, it looks rather good [17:09:11] it plays pretty good too [17:10:54] yeah. I'd go with the gameplay holding up better than any other 2.5D shooter [17:22:05] do you use kOS? i just installed it, do i have to start my script every time i procced a new launch? [17:22:13] proceed [17:22:26] you miss an a [17:27:35] Bumfaust_: yes you have to [17:27:59] also I dislike kOS, because it tries to simulate a computer from the 50s. And what year is it? [17:28:13] 2050 [17:28:20] so you're more of a KSPrpc person? [17:29:36] is there an alternative to script launches? [17:31:03] there used to be, not sure if its still under development though [17:34:08] umaxtu: I'd be, if I still used it :) [17:46:22] there's RedOnion with Lua inside KSP [17:46:45] still haven't played with it, yet [18:07:12] it is interesting [18:07:24] it seems that I can interact with the KSP API [21:13:01] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkXDYC2y258 that's almost how it works.
