[00:16:26] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Flying cars are still stupid, but nearly as much as jetpacks. [00:17:05] Hrm . . . "Ultima Thule" looks awfully familiar . . . [00:17:18] Udvar Hazey has a flying car! [00:17:51] Where else have I seen a contact binary . . . https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/images/largesize/PIA18641_hires.jpg [00:19:59] We cannot rule out the possibility that it is a duck, albeit vastly larger than Churyumov-Gerisimenko. [00:20:15] (Gerasimenko [00:20:53] 2014 MU69 is actually a Mass Relay. [00:23:38] Action: UmbralRaptop kicks self for not keeping on hand that image that had every well imaged asteroid / comet smaller than Vesta at the same scale. [00:23:57] Action: Scolar_Visari proposes measuring time by the passage of broken flying car promises. [00:24:13] Not as reliable as the fusion clock, however, but it measures in smaller increments. [00:28:20] Action: UmbralRaptop should probably poke at the AAS 233 stuff to see if there are any new announcements. [00:31:03] 12:00 PM: SETI Workshop, are we prepared for Contact? 1:00 PM: Jeff Bezos: Lex Luthor in a poor disguise? 5:00 PM: Dinner and a movie, ft. Armageddon with guest lecturer Michael Bay. [00:32:53] The meeting was actually scheduled for the 18th, but it was moved forward so as not to interfere with the release of Ace Combat 7. [00:36:25] UmbralRaptop: http://planetary.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/images/9-small-bodies/2015/20150313_asteroids_comets_sc_0-000-100_2015_color_lighter.png [00:37:15] meh.. flying cars, so.. gotta get both driver's and flying permits at same time? [00:37:33] Mind you more than half way there... still work'n on the flying permit [00:37:48] JVFoxy: Well, even if you automate them, most people don't maintain their cars well enough as it is, and there's never a risk of them falling on people's heads. [00:38:02] UmbralRaptop: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/system/downloadable_items/390_PIA14316-1600x1200.jpg [00:38:23] https://i.imgur.com/MIpy6K2.gif [00:38:24] https://i.imgur.com/MIpy6K2.gifv [00:38:44] things with wings.. don't exactly 'fall' they glide.... drones fall because powered flight only thing keeping them up [00:38:58] JVFoxy: Most flying car concepts don't have wings! [00:40:12] nice, though I swear, there was one with 2014 MU69, Bennu, and Ryugu [00:40:34] I woudn't say 'most'... since there aren't exactly a lot of designs out right now. There are a few that have wings, a few that came out with multi engines.. one's a para-wing [00:41:37] JVFoxy: Oh there have certainly been a lot of concepts over the years; just very few made it past the CGI phase. [00:43:17] a few made it into actual flight [00:43:24] the para-wing one in fact [00:49:55] Less flying cars and more rocket mail. Bring back rocket mail! [00:51:18] like they did in Australia as an experiment? [00:51:49] treating mail like we did passenger flight.. concord vs boeing. :) [00:52:30] The United States had one rocket (a Regulus missile, I think) officially deliver mail. Once. [00:52:47] and... result? [00:52:59] hopefully didn't nose dive 3 feet into the ground on landing [00:53:15] Well, they quickly found out there are better ways to deliver priority mail. [00:53:39] Hah! https://postalmuseum.si.edu/collections/object-spotlight/regulus-mail.html [00:54:56] ooooo and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_mail [00:55:35] mind you this quote: from wiki its nuclear warhead having earlier been replaced by two Post Office Department mail containers targeted at the Naval Auxiliary Air Station at Naval Station Mayport in Florida. The Regulus cruise missile was launched with a pair of Aerojet-General 3KS-33,000 [3 sec duration, 33,000 lbf (150 kN) thrust] solid-propella [00:55:35] nt boosters. A turbojet engine sustained the long-range cruise flight after the boosters were dropped. Twenty-two minutes after launch, the missile struck its target. [00:56:01] umm... 'struck'..? [01:00:31] Post office employs use of missile... not sure if 'going postal' had that in mind..? [01:06:05] "Some one's ordered priority flat rate shipping! On my mark, turn the keys!" [01:08:26] Action: Scolar_Visari should probably begin their project. [01:12:32] Also: Watching the interactive Netflix movie. [01:22:30] UmbralRaptop: I'm not finding any size chart with 2014 Mu69 on it. [01:25:33] I did, however, find this https://www.deviantart.com/daemoria/art/NASA-Beyond-the-Moon-Bernal-Sphere-concept-777646993 [02:06:50] hrm [07:58:03] Action: UmbralRaptop is starting to suspect that the in game stage numbers are made of lies. [08:18:18] i can think of a number that's not made up out of lies! [08:22:15] Is it e or À? [08:42:55] lol insight was still holding the seismometer [08:43:20] i thought the next movie would be the cover on it, and it took them weeks to just release it? [08:50:19] good morning [08:51:30] UmbralRaptop: in 30 - 81 good years we'll realize those numbers we based our most conceptual calculations out of are false and finally breach the speed of light and become an interstellar species [08:53:09] all what we know is just approximation [08:53:18] we are modeling the real world [09:24:25] Hrm. Looks like Crew Dragon launch is a month away. MONTH! Pfff [09:24:42] And I know who is to blame, but I'm not allowed to say it :P [09:34:33] one month is nothing [09:43:26] wasnt it supposed to be in a few days, [09:44:28] is it because of this? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/715Ic7dnUpL._AC_UL115_.jpg [09:45:51] Althego: Elon said in a month [09:46:00] Althego: and... maybe [09:46:12] and I guess one month is optimistic [09:50:35] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYLGhVPp8lw crazy crazy [09:50:52] lol [09:51:29] nice [09:52:19] will the public insurance cover if something goes wrong? :) [09:52:34] thab buzzing [09:53:35] i guess no autorotation in that [09:53:43] I'd have a good motorbike helmet at least [09:53:53] like that would help [09:54:10] well, it can keep your brain in [09:54:10] probably would fall down straight [09:54:28] so your wife would not need to clean the house from outside... [09:55:21] a good leather overall, helmet and a spine support (if the overal does nothave it) [10:47:03] elon got a lot of going on... it seems [10:47:29] including one giant lawn ornament... [10:47:58] made of steel? [11:57:46] shiny stainless steel [11:59:14] does he have balls of steel too? [12:00:12] or marbles in his head.. you'll have to ask him yourself. I'm not going that route [12:00:20] hehe [12:00:40] snow keeps falling [12:00:48] realized my one career, didn't use sci jr much.. totally missed KSC grounds with it [12:00:54] somewhat unusual this past decade [12:01:03] would love snow here.. sick of rain [12:02:04] sigh... 5 rescue contracts... why? [12:02:11] free slaves [12:02:16] best contracts ever [12:02:22] you can even do it in one ship [12:02:29] possibly [12:02:34] three of them are one star... one is two, and last is 3 star [12:02:48] probably one is at high orbit, other at moon [12:03:21] if its the same one... the 2 star is in some weird orbit [12:04:24] I still have that one mission a few versions back, kerbal on moon, at lat 45 south.. had to wait a few days for it to come around into light [12:04:42] use radar altimeter and lamps [12:04:55] also high twr [12:05:12] saving it for when I feel up to recording... going to use a ship already in orbit and a fueling station around mun [12:06:14] ... its been a while, not sure what else I had going with that mission in particular.

[12:27:37] so.. flying plant next? [12:52:28] huh.. seen another video, two guys challenging each ohter to do some sorta spacex rocket thing with RC gear [12:52:37] wonder if this a new hobby now [12:53:11] there is nothing rc peoples wont do [12:53:39] need more lego rc then :) [13:12:34] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riTkd1ygAMI [13:12:34] YouTube - Gangnam style + Takyon (Psy + Death Grips) [14:25:52] dr low strikes again https://youtu.be/_98xwiBGKLk [14:25:52] YouTube - Delro Raven Variable Pitch Prop Markus Rummer aka ''Dr. Low'' [15:25:36] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqR4_UoBIzY [15:25:36] YouTube - A Super-Material You Can Make In Your Kitchen (Starlite?)
