[19:00:26] <Althego> probably not going to fly for days [19:00:40] <Althego> i dont like this star naming [19:00:43] <Althego> it is not a starship [19:00:57] <Althego> what are we going to name our real starships? [19:01:17] <Althego> galaxy hoppers? [19:02:00] <Althego> luckily that is only mission soi entering, so i have some time to land with the inbound probes [19:02:59] <Althego> the outbound ones... one is on nuke, so needs longer burn, i guess i am going to slow it down a bit farther from minmus [19:03:12] <Althego> then the chemical one can do orbital insertion a bit offset [19:05:43] <Althego> actually the timing is not completely random. with around 1350 m/s burn to minmus you arrive in such time. and with similar delta v spent for the way back, maybe a little less, even those are on their way for a while now, they arrive in the same time [19:05:58] <Althego> i cant have that much margin on the way back [19:07:03] <Althego> with such high speeds even minmus orbital insertion is expensive. but there is less time than money [19:07:15] <Althego> who has time for a 4 day hohmann transfer to minmus [19:07:55] <raptop> brachistochrone time? [19:08:24] <Althego> well, straight lines anyway [19:08:38] <Althego> but not practical to make it faster than a day [19:09:39] <Althego> at east now we have these big gimballed solids [19:10:02] <Althego> usually need to strap some old big ones to the side of the 2.5 m to have enough thrust [19:10:14] <Althego> bit annoying that the old ones are longer [19:10:41] <Althego> and you need to regulate the thrust to get the 80 sec burn time to have them burn out the same time [19:16:13] <Mat2ch> Soon Starhopper will fly ;) [19:16:33] <Althego> that not [19:17:28] <Mat2ch> you are seeing this to negative [19:17:28] <Althego> probably bolted to the concrete [19:17:46] <Mat2ch> they are attaching the lift section right now [19:18:00] <Althego> the starship prototype, yes, it is going to make the 20 km jump this year [19:18:33] <Mat2ch> I said Starhopper and not Starship :P [19:23:37] <Althego> is something happening to the hopper? [19:29:43] <Mat2ch> It's going to get lifted onto the roll lift [19:29:46] <Mat2ch> right now [19:30:00] <Mat2ch> that's why I'm talking about it for an hour or so now ;) [19:30:14] <Mat2ch> well, maybe half an hour ;) [19:30:29] <Althego> are you talking about the labpadre livestream? [19:30:34] <Mat2ch> yes [19:30:45] <Althego> that is not starhopper [19:31:02] <Althego> starhopper is the small round top tank that flew last year [19:32:02] <Mat2ch> oh, you are right [19:32:22] <Mat2ch> But calling it starship is also wrong [19:32:26] <Mat2ch> so Starhopper 2? [19:32:33] <Althego> starship sn5 [19:32:40] <Mat2ch> SN5 sounds so lame [19:32:45] <Althego> as staated in the scrolling text [19:33:07] <Althego> since elon plans to have hundreds of these, naming them is kind of pointless [19:33:10] <Mat2ch> not reading scrolling things ;P [19:33:29] <Mat2ch> I guess they will all get individual names, like airplanes [19:33:32] <Althego> remanent of the 90s internet? [19:33:45] <Althego> you mean like ships? [19:33:56] <Althego> because airplanes generally dont get names [19:33:58] <Mat2ch> oh, many airlines give their planes individual names [20:18:53] <Mat2ch> Looks like they're lifting it right now [20:26:23] <Althego> is it floating yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZF9SxZwZJo [20:26:23] <kmath> YouTube - LIVE: Crane Lifts Starship SN5 onto Stand Following 150-Meter Hop [20:30:25] <Mat2ch> Uh, better angle! [20:31:40] <Althego> elon slightly moving cylinder program [20:33:39] <raptop> What is a Falcon 9, but a pair of very fast moving cylinders plus some misc bits? [20:37:23] <Althego> yes, moving cylinders [20:39:48] <raptop> tired: orb, cube [20:39:51] <raptop> wired: cylinder [20:40:18] <Althego> wired: lain [20:41:55] <raptop> well, yes
