[00:03:24] What if you could plant a flag on kerbol [00:07:34] it would burn? [00:18:44] OMG, I landed on the Mun with my huge rocket propulsively. The only reaction wheels are in the pod. I sure made 100+ attempts and needed to find and hit a pretty flat spot: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot71.png [00:18:58] Single stage Mun sample return.

[11:01:20] i am dizzy [11:01:44] Turn on your personal SAS [11:01:46] :D [11:10:32] I wish I could just open a stats screen to see why I'm so tired [11:10:55] Let's see. Did you sleep well last night? [11:11:07] I can't remember [11:11:30] When did you have your last holiday and slept in for a week? [11:11:39] holiday/vacation [11:12:08] uhhh... i've been unemployed since july last year and spent it in the US converting a school bus into a home for a homeless woman [11:12:22] got back to europe in november [11:13:02] just been sitting around since then, starting a new job on the 20th [11:13:08] Hm. Being unemployed can be harsh and affect your sleeping. [11:13:50] Are you listening to your chronobiological system or just setting your alarm to some value that sounds reasonable? [11:13:58] KSP can affect your sleeping. [11:14:12] very much, indeed :D [11:14:46] My sleeping cycle is from 23 to 7 or 8. And I go to bed to late currently. That's why I'm tired. [11:15:34] And it was cold last night, all my muscles are ache [11:15:40] -are [11:16:12] Should've used another blanket [11:16:27] So, I know why I'm tired. Went to bed too late and slept too cold. [11:16:35] Now, Flayer, your turn :) [11:16:55] i'm tired because i don't have enough energy [11:18:22] That sounds like (maybe the beginning) of a depression. But could be related to the missing sunlight in the winter month as well [11:18:39] i just need to get back to work [11:19:04] Well, I could give you some "work" to do. [11:19:15] Do a daily walk around midday [11:19:21] plz no [11:19:28] if that doesn't help, the problem could be deeper. [11:19:57] and then you could design my Jool crafts. ;) [11:20:14] i don't think you want me designing anything right now lol [11:20:54] Why not? [11:20:59] You have to test it as well. :D [11:26:05] I'm on the wrong planet. a 30h day would match my rhythm much better [11:26:14] yes [11:26:16] i've said that [11:26:20] lets move to mars [11:51:01] mars is one of the worst choice there, you only gain like 35 finutes or something each day [11:51:13] maybe move to venus? [11:51:21] climate's too harsh [11:51:28] cant have everything [11:51:29] metal melts there [11:51:41] Metal melts on earth too [11:51:48] unaided. lol [11:51:48] actually venus has the only earthlike environment in the solarsystem, aside from earth [11:51:54] Action: TheKosmonaut is satisfied with being technically correct [11:52:01] you just need to float at some altitude [11:52:24] i tried making a floaty thing on eve [11:52:26] If the first commander of the floating habitat on Venus is not Cmdr Calrissian, I will quit [11:52:27] but it didn't work [11:52:34] hrhr [11:52:42] everyone died when i went back to the tracking station [11:53:11] lol kos [11:58:33] Mercury is liquid on Earth. [11:58:58] In most places. [11:59:28] Gallium melts in many places. [12:03:46] lead is liquid at venus [12:03:58] i'm not sure i agree with your 'unaided' comment [12:04:13] all metals melt in lava :) [12:04:31] the circumstances are always 'aiding' to whatever state the metals take on [12:05:28] then unaided becomes meaningless [12:06:23] you need to add a qualifier [12:06:29] unaided by human action [12:06:44] maybe it was implied and i didn't see it through my autism [12:07:55] Platinum doesn't melt in Lava. [12:08:07] Or tungsten. [12:08:26] liquid tungsten would make lava if its contained in rock heh [12:45:04] Watching all of Star Wars over again on Disney+ [12:45:08] Episode II now [12:45:17] "Take unregistered transportation back to Naboo" [12:45:39] Senator Amidala: *Dresses up in a 20lbs headdress for her refugee disguise* [12:49:45] .oO( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW7C7ioO79A ) [12:59:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:59:22] "I DONT LIKE SAND" such great delivery [12:59:30] it's really obvious that they moved filming to Australia [13:00:03] all the accents [13:00:09] "Ani, I think your constant touching and flirting is really inappropriate..

[16:09:54] he just comes in for advertising his minecreaft streams, but i dont think that is a reason for ban [16:10:09] That is in fact the reason [16:10:22] he just left before it could be explained ;) [16:10:42] Joins, advertises his minecraft stream, parts [16:11:26] If you're going to advertise something, stick around to discuss it?

How big can we go?

[19:37:04] do I need more science and unlock things, do I need to test more parts? [19:39:59] some parts ot building upgrades allow for certain kind of missions. also as your hmm, what does the game call it, standing, no that is not it, anyway whatever it is, increases you get better missions. and the game also learns what you like to do and gives more of that [19:40:33] reputation, that was the word [19:48:17] ok, I'm at my third orbital station around MinMus, I like it but it tends to be always the same : send a station, then get the kerbals back [19:48:40] Action: UmbralRaptop forgets if sending a mission to Duna anyway will encourage more fun contracts [19:48:43] do I really to get past the 20+ kerbals in a station thing? [19:48:56] +need [19:49:18] you could edit the savegame to change the mission probabilities [19:49:34] you can always ignore or decline a contract ;) [19:51:26] I'm not sure how reputation figures into the contract selection. Higher reputation reputedly generates more prestigious contracts. Visiting other planets should help, too. At least you would get contracts to put stations somewhere other than Minmus [19:54:32] hatrix: Upgrading the tracking station gives you asteroid missions. The IR telescope gives you asteroid search missions. [19:54:43] Going to places gives you missions there. [19:55:08] Having sensors gives you missions to measure with them. [19:58:01] hatrix: I think this is as good as it gets: [19:58:01] http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot73.png [19:58:01] http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot74.png [19:58:01] http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot75.png [19:58:16] Last message repeated 2 time(s). [19:58:16] hehe temperature surveys of tylo [19:58:40] why would i want to do that lol [19:59:44] hatrix: You can ask us for challenges. [20:00:19] Obviously they want something close in for determining Tylo's gravitational redshift [20:01:38] hatrix: Like a Duna or Eve sample return mission. [20:02:04] Or rescue someone from the surface of the Mun without landing there. [20:02:44] wait, what [20:03:04] with the suit jets? [20:03:11] yes [20:03:27] Jetpack to orbit. [20:03:34] skycrane + klaw? [20:03:42] Or rescue someone from LKO without carrying them with a spaceship. [20:04:35] I did a single stage Mun sample return mission. [20:05:03] I don't recommend doing that. It's tedious an tricky. [20:06:50] have you tried using a spaceplane? :) [20:06:56] Previously I failed to jetpack to orbit from the Mun from higher latitudes, thinking the lower rotational speed is the cause, but then I managed to even do it from the Pole. I guess you just need to do it more efficiently. [20:07:14] I flew a spaceplane to LKO. [20:08:06] anyway much smaller than a huge mammoth [20:08:46] hatrix: Fly to orbit with just a Hammer and an Oscar B as fuel. [20:09:34] Althego: Can it do single stage Mun sample return? [20:09:48] the sample is not heacy :) [20:09:57] heacy? [20:10:02] heavy typo [20:10:12] yes [20:10:17] Can it do single stage Mun sample return? [20:10:35] i meant if you can land on the mun with it, then it can do it [20:10:41] and why not [20:10:46] Not enough dv? [20:10:50] but then i would rather go to duna [20:10:58] around the same delta v needed [20:11:28] hatrix: You can also search for easter eggs. [20:11:55] why arent there easter eggs on eve? [20:12:03] hatrix: Have you completed your tech tree and fully upgraded all buildings? [20:14:56] hatrix: Don't try to get 100% reputation ;). [20:15:49] well, second year of hell for intel [20:15:53] oh ok darsie, I thought I needed to wait for missions to go somewhere [20:16:01] like "explore duna's orbit" [20:16:23] hatrix: Also, if you don't like the offered contracts you can wait till they are replaced. I usually wait 7 days for that. [20:16:27] missions just generae money. but you can still do anything you want [20:16:49] I'd like my career to have some kind of purpose, driven by commercial and science missions [20:17:17] Maybe you like Surviving Mars. [20:17:28] godd game [20:17:31] good [20:17:46] don't know it [20:17:54] city builder on mars [20:18:00] whiut everything that it implies [20:18:01] I'm waiting for a good sale on Surviving Mars. cheapskate [20:18:06] KSP is the only game I've been playing since at least 5 years :) [20:18:14] yes i played it for 5 years too [20:18:21] I meant for [20:18:29] after 5 years i started to play elite again :) [20:18:48] KSP gets less interesting eventually. [20:18:49] just wanted this IRC channel is good to get back in the game [20:18:51] thanks guys [20:19:00] I'm forgetting words now, wanted to say* [20:20:06] do you know where to get a Δv map fron another planet as Kerbin? [20:20:29] I don't know how much Δv I need to get back from a planet [20:21:00] it is on the same map lol [20:21:21] ok, admittently jool gets more complicated because of all the moons helpoing you [20:21:47] if you want a real challenge, get into aerospace for real :) [20:21:56] oh, where is it Althego? [20:21:57] hehe [20:22:03] in the topic? [20:22:15] nobody reads the topic [20:22:21] Action: darsie is nobody. [20:22:56] nobody expects the spanish inquisition [20:23:19] ooh [20:23:24] I had the same map but an older version [20:23:28] I thought that was the same [20:24:00] honestly not much change there for a while now [20:24:01] I got a spam warning from Ares. [20:24:13] I'm still not seing how much I need to get back [20:24:25] the numbers are there [20:24:33] back and forth [20:24:34] which ones? [20:24:56] go along the route, add the numbers. then go back, add the numbers again. [20:24:56] hat you need to read it in reverse. [20:25:16] leave the numbers out from the addition that are avoidable because of atmosphere [20:25:34] the amount is the same to get back as to get there? [20:25:36] as i said, it gets tricky for jool [20:25:40] that sounds weird to me [20:26:08] because going there the moons can help you slow down, coming back they can help you to eject [20:26:14] from the joolian system [20:26:30] but anything else is quite straigth forward [20:26:43] hatrix: Aerobraking helps you only one way. [20:26:51] yes [20:27:02] that is what the arrows are [20:32:20] btw the reason why the numbers are the same going up and down, is because gravity is a conservative force field [20:32:43] luckily no space friction :) [20:32:59] the planets are far away already without space friction [20:36:05] Build the orbital station into a previously undisturbed Class C asteroid: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot78.png [20:36:17] Does that mean attach it with a Klaw? [20:36:45] hehe i was waiting for the this is where you comein part [20:36:48] as i read the text [20:36:52] and there it was [20:37:37] i never tried these before but you dont really have any other way to catch an asteroid [20:37:42] Or should I drop out of time warp inside and asteroid? :) [20:37:48] hehe [20:54:37] hatrix: Land just a Kerbal on Kerbin without a parachute. [20:57:04] hatrix: Go to Kerbin orbit with less than 3000 vacuum dv. [20:57:16] you know, that was always possible, and we just got the parachutes relatively recently [20:57:27] yes [20:57:44] typically land first on the helmet, then flip and dampen with rcs [20:58:21] I just land wiht any attitude wiht low enough velocity. [21:07:24] Operation Kerbal Shield [21:07:37] Action: packbart just dropped 20 Kerbals head-first from a launch clamp - for science! [21:07:52] hehe [21:08:00] reminds me of the kerbals as landing gear video [21:26:47] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:02:24] that trip to duna's orbit was useful, gained 900+ science from it :) [22:05:40] Using a port to attach the 2000 kg ore I had to bring up to fulfill the contract from the station with a port was useful. I dumped this cruft anyways, and now I could attach a booster: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot80.png [22:07:26] Made the crew transfer contract easier, cause Kerbals on EVA can't use maneuver nodes and so I flew the station to the Kerbal. [22:07:55] A rescued Kerbal. Didn't have a flyable ship. [22:40:06] It's Jerbin from Kerbin [22:40:54] Was spawned in orbit, but I'll let it count.
