[07:24:21] for the two last versions there is [07:24:38] one of the icons in the top right corner [07:25:06] i think it is a wrench [07:26:28] O ok, I haven't updated for ages to keep my game going :) Thanks Althego [07:26:35] since 1.8 [07:26:45] so last 3 [07:27:09] actually these are mostly minor updates and saves probably will work [07:29:33] lol 1.8 came out in 2019. and it is 4 versions ago [07:31:34] like I said: "for ages" :) I play in bursts. Months go by without me touching the game [07:46:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:02:42] lol flat earthers say the sn9 flight was fake. oh never mind there is video of it from multiple people from multiple angles [08:03:20] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:08:41] hi, Mod9000 [08:08:55] hello Mod9000 [08:09:12] Mod9000 is doing [08:09:13] ah, there we go [08:09:23] hi [08:09:30] I should remove that comma [08:09:36] huh, I was expecting Mod9000 to be whiling or foring [08:10:04] I don't understand [08:24:03] different kinds of loops [08:25:31] hehe whiling or foring [08:25:41] it was puzzling [08:31:23] What is "whiling and foring"? [08:31:38] while and for are loop types [08:31:44] Are [08:31:47] and if you make verbs of them [08:31:48] Aha! [08:33:00] to me they sound like some ancient verbs that are not used anymore [08:33:22] Ye olde whiling and foring [08:36:16] and elon is leaking [08:36:37] at least he tweeted that sn10 is going to use all 3 engines for the flip [08:37:07] Yeah. I was wondering why they didn't do that. [08:37:08] and if one fails it can still do it with 2. if it doesnt fail it will just turn off the one that helps the least in flipping [08:38:16] By only using two, they are negating one of the best advantages of having multiple engines instead of one big one. [08:39:03] but then for landing they want to use the least amount of thrust [08:39:22] so landing needs 2 engines [08:39:53] Yeah, otherwise they'd have to throttle too deeply and would flameout [08:41:32] also no starlink today, moved to sunday [09:03:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:03:31] The funny part of the "using all three engines while doing the flip" is that a twitter user asked Elon this "why not start all three engines and if one fails you still have backup" and he answered: "We are dumb" [09:03:51] and I wondered if he really meant it or if it was meant ironically [09:04:29] because there could not be enough fuel to run all three engines or the pressure would be too low, etc. [09:22:09] I imagine that they are working so fast and making so many quick decisions that they are quite likely to overlook something like that [09:22:48] SN10 will have the new tripple-engine flip profile [09:24:13] that's one of the reasons why I think it is important to listen to voices from outside. [09:24:30] Sometimes the best ideas come from bystanders [09:25:00] and Hans Christian Andersen used a childs eyes to see the problem/truth... [09:27:58] I want to know if my copper sheet heatsink behind the ceramic tiles would work (the idea being to disperse the heat if a tile cracked or fell off) [09:28:12] But I don't know how I would find out if it works [09:30:31] Wouldn't the copper instantly just melt? [09:31:17] you can try it. Take a sheet of copper, place it over a larger sheet of 3 mm stainless steel and get a torch that is as hot as the reentry gases. [09:31:43] but I fear to be effective you need a lot of copper which will add lots of mass [09:40:29] i need to add some mass [09:40:38] not a lot, but some [09:41:49] Mat2ch, a block of copper does not melt if you heat one spot with a blowtorch. It conducts the heat so well [09:42:29] if you heat one spot of me with a blowtorch, i will get burnt [09:42:39] But as you say, perhaps it needs to be too thick to be effective [09:43:02] Judge_Dedd: That's what I would want to see in an experiment [09:43:16] Me too [09:43:25] i don't want to be burnt by a blowtorch [09:46:12] But you've never tried [09:54:12] Copper vs 3,200 degrees C https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxVuzwUc-0 [09:55:10] You can see how the whole thing absorbs the heat, but it does melt [09:56:23] Mat2ch, Space shuttle only face 1649 C [09:57:16] dont forget starship could come back from mars [09:57:21] (depending on source, a might be a bit less than that, but considerably less than 3200 of that gas torch) [09:57:22] with interplanetary speeds [09:57:30] ok, probablymultiple pass aerobrake [10:00:57] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBs7LAM4Kk Didn't melt [10:03:04] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:13:05] raptop, the solos in kathaarian life code aren't just noise solos...there is more structure to them [11:03:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:36:25] Last message repeated 4 time(s).
