[10:25:36] so, starlink 12 in less than 90 minutes? [10:27:59] i am going to forget it because the stream never starts automatically as it used to [10:33:28] I'll be away, collecting coronavirus samples. [10:33:39] enjoy [10:33:44] thx [10:34:00] hehe [10:34:25] collect, analyze and build data set [10:34:58] Althego: I see no link to the stream. I say no launch today. :D [10:35:21] https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1312826277330649097 [10:35:21] <✔SpaceX> Targeting Monday, October 5 at 7:51 a.m. EDT for launch of Starlink from LC-39A in Florida [10:35:42] that is their last tweet [10:35:55] and that stream has been known for weks at this point [10:39:58] I just collect them from people at home and bring them to the lab. [10:40:15] ah i thought it was a joke [10:40:20] nope [10:40:28] but then you really collect samples [10:40:32] yes [10:40:41] not meaning infected by random stranger [10:40:44] I'm an exploited bicycle courier without danger pay. [10:41:00] oh my god [10:41:17] 'verify your email' 'verify your phone' 'verify your phone again' [10:41:21] it just doesn't end [10:41:26] google? [10:41:48] xiaomi [10:42:48] TOO MANY VERIFICATION ATTEMPTS [10:42:54] lol [10:42:57] "WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN" [10:43:13] this is actually a legitimate defense against brute forcing [10:43:30] should never have to brute for anything [10:43:44] i dont remember anything like this when i bought my phone a year ago [10:43:48] it should just be a matter of attaching a usb cable to the device, and flashing it [10:48:37] nope, won't unlock [10:48:43] it give sme some chinese message [10:54:34] now its stalling at 99% lol [10:54:48] unknown error! [10:54:51] lmao [10:54:51] hehe [10:55:03] i like unexpected exception [11:02:41] the chinese message mentions part of a number that i do not recognize [11:03:08] and you cant copy it in a translator :) [11:12:42] nope, cause its not copyable [11:12:53] but i figured it out... i think [11:13:50] you need a sledgehammer first [11:29:41] UNLOCKED [11:31:17] now i need to figure out how to put another OS on there [11:37:42] hehe scrubbed agina [11:37:51] live in 23 hours [11:38:06] https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1313077784994930688 [11:38:06] <✔SpaceX> We are standing down from today's Starlink mission due to weather violations on the Range.

Where? [14:04:47] :P [14:04:52] that too [14:05:02] hand waving is easier [14:05:21] sure it costs money too if you hire a consult to do that but it "makes more sense" [14:05:47] timey wimey etc [14:23:13] tetraeder it is [14:24:05] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:25:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:35:47] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:01:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:23:46] position a satellite in polar orbit of the sun [16:23:51] not even with ions man [16:35:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:47:48] who would want to put a seismometer on a satellite? a kerbal company. figures [17:00:25] they want to use it as a micrometeorite detector [17:01:59] you'll get a discount on your space vehicle insurance if the device does not report heavy accelerations [17:03:14] using boosters voids the warranty [17:13:42] why isnt there a sound for the contract notifications? [17:14:00] maybe something like a mail arrived [17:14:31] good question [17:14:44] ...though I suppose you could get something silly when you finish a bunch really quickly [17:15:28] how rare are comets? [17:15:48] the infrared telescope has been in solar orbit for many days and it has found none yet [17:16:24] IIRC, somewhat rare [17:25:47] I'm trying to remember how to read the Dv map. Just add the numbers, right? [17:27:23] So, return from Mun is 580+310+860 m/s? [17:28:08] But the 860 isn't needed because you can aero-brake. Right? [17:29:25] yes [17:29:38] Thank you [17:30:37] but you are better off having that in reserve, becasue landing can eat up a lot, also a bit extra fuel on the way back (or even to) can shorten the travel time significantly. i usually do high speed transfers [17:44:12] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:07:02] what happens to the money indicator when you reach 10 million?

I have never seen a booster strapped down this way. [19:59:22] i havent seen this exact image [19:59:30] but i knew about a heavy booster testing [19:59:46] imagine if one cable breaks :) [20:00:18] Probably nothing, because two diagonal cables can hold it down ;) [20:02:28] hehe: What Happens If a Presidential Candidate Dies Before the Election? | LegalEagle’s Law Review [20:02:42] interesitng, i have to watch this tomorrow [20:07:08] Althego: probably gets replaced by an AI. Or a guard dog. [20:07:14] I vote for the guard dog! [20:07:22] He's a good boy. [20:07:34] maybe there are some hot spares [20:07:40] instant replacement [20:17:31] Althego: you mean like they go into the basement and thaw one? [20:25:13] > SpaceX has landed 60 Falcon first stage rocket boosters and re-flown them 42 times [20:25:17] er, no [20:25:35] Landed boosters 60 times? [20:25:45] I think [20:42:01] If you need to thaw them, they're not hot spares. [20:54:49] thawing seems opposed to chilling for propellant loading [21:27:45] Will ksp be at ps5 back [21:27:53] wards compatibility [21:27:54] ? [21:29:13] Looks like Guest26175 has found the answer. [21:32:40] I'm under the impression that console designers do not seriously consider backwards compatability as a feature [21:33:07] Maybe even oppose it so that they can resell old games [21:59:15] It's a lot of work, too. [22:00:18] well, yes [22:00:29] For each generation they try to find the best cpu/gpu combination when it comes to minimizing costs. The performance doesn't matter as long as it is on the same level as the competitors [22:00:51] On a related note, there needs to be an XPBox along the lines of DOXBox [22:01:07] Which means they sometimes change the cpu architecture and to run old games there you need an emulator [22:01:25] or build a library that rewrites the syscalls [22:14:34] It just feels weird as console CPUs drift towards being weird PC ones [22:57:31] next time an ʻOumuamua flies by we should put a probe on it [22:58:26] just shoot out a bunch of dart-like probes as its passing by and hope one of them hits [22:58:26] Action: raptop eyes 2/I Borisov [23:01:26] wouldn't that be epic though? latching a probe onto an interstellar object? [23:02:42] Yeah [23:02:51] I want to say that ESA is looking into having a probe on standby? [23:04:10] i don't feel it would be possible to do by traditionally matching its orbit and landing on it [23:05:22] you'd need to know exactly where it was and intercept it, so you have to get its orbit right and latch on as it passes by [23:06:06] All the ΔV [23:07:27] 2I/Borisov goes at 32 km/s while Voyager goes at 16 km/s [23:10:01] That does mean the risk of a 40-100 km/s head on flyby being the only option [23:10:33] Feh, I don't see a data sheet on what the options would be for a silly high ΔV payload. Something like a 100 kg probe on a few STARs [23:14:17] Compare with Parker Solar Probe [23:14:26] (...or I suppose New Horizons)
