[08:27:15] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct-zBHCA2jc [08:27:38] launch in about an hour [09:02:59] . [09:04:10] Action: darsie forgot to put airbrakes on the Minmus ore return rocket. Failed to slow down enough to deploy chutes. Gotta send an extension. [09:23:48] hehe called the payload satellites passengers :) [09:33:24] t-8 [09:34:25] why the heck is the camera image off? [09:34:35] 4:+ [09:34:38] 4:3 [09:34:45] If you have MILLIONS to build a rocket, why not invest something in good cameras?! [09:34:50] I will never understand it. [09:59:21] they have a slideshow from orbit [09:59:48] at least it is something [10:04:38] trending on twitter #EVEMUN ... you can probably guess what that is [10:07:45] maybe, because they do not need as good marketing as for a private company [10:09:51] it is good that they are not afraid of rain though [10:09:59] rains every day [10:10:02] so what? [10:10:49] Action: darsie sends a pair of rescue drogue chutes: https://i.imgur.com/ngwIR5G.png [10:12:36] tiny [10:13:15] as always :) [10:13:43] Second stage is inverted to fit better in the fairing. [10:39:46] https://i.imgur.com/RT8Oqtj.png [10:41:13] eh, eggdrop does not support multiple servers [10:41:27] adorable [10:41:46] oh wait, the ports do not match [10:41:51] mhm [10:42:13] now you have to send up something with both ports to go between them :) [10:42:20] :) [10:43:12] I bet stuff like this happend irl. [10:43:32] well, there was the imperial vs metric mishap [10:43:46] That's what I thought :) [10:44:18] 1.25 m vs 1.25 ft port [11:13:06] !mode [11:13:09] eh [11:19:49] Action: darsie cries. 4 chutes, 12 m/s, ore tanks splashed down hard and were destroyed. [11:20:01] hehe [11:20:06] you just need a tiny bit of fuel [11:20:11] to slow down a few m/s [11:20:21] I have. But the Terrier is too bad at sea level. [11:20:30] Maybe spend more fuel to lose mass. [11:20:33] also better do it on land, landing legs could help [11:20:41] ahh, I have legs :) [11:21:00] I was aiming for the KSC. [11:22:02] water is harder than the ground ;) [11:33:48] yay, soft touchdown just before the KSC mountains. But I want closer to the KSC ... :) [11:45:16] let's see [11:45:18] !nela [11:45:22] Althego => Atlas V - NROL-101 - Wed Nov 11, 2020 22:22:00 UTC (L-4 days, 10:36:20) - https://rocketlaunch.live/launch/nrol-101 for info/stream [11:45:29] well, it works [11:47:42] "Perfect" landing :) https://imgur.com/a/gsYtwYy [11:48:57] Even the HECS survived. That was designed to be expendable. [13:08:31] !calc base2(16), int(exp(1) * pi()^5 - root(60,3)) [13:08:31] Althego => 827 /* 0x33b */ [16:49:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:43:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:56:09] finally, a 5 direction rcs port https://twitter.com/KerbalSpaceP/status/1324801602637582337 [21:05:16] Interesting -- it looks like some scaling/tweakables mods are slowly becoming stock [21:05:46] Action: darsie did atmospheric surveys with a whiplash VTOL and landed vertically: https://i.imgur.com/keuBKae.png https://i.imgur.com/5MJ7G7F.png [21:07:18] Do a normal runway approach, pull up vertical, turn off elevons and tell the computer to hold the plane vertical with thrust vectoring. [21:07:25] Then go down. [21:13:09] doesnt matter that chanlog is out of order. nobody is talking anyway :) [21:13:15] eh [21:14:16] where is scheduled jixuan and sebastian 2 the future video? ok i think i will just go to bed instead [21:29:09] Action: darsie is nobody. [21:29:15] gn
