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