I detected one from orbit, but can't find it on the ground. [09:46:28] eggs? [09:46:33] Easter eggs [09:47:00] Or is it the levitating rock? [09:48:04] I found like 14 EEs on Kerbin. Is that too much? [09:49:02] Hmm, https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/List_of_easter_eggs#Kerbin says there are 12. [09:49:31] there is one that spawns randomly, the green monolith [09:52:42] but even that is fixed position in one game, just set to a random position at new game start [10:56:13] hi all. I am looking for a career to use with blue dog design mod. Any suggestions ? [10:56:45] running on 1.8.1 [11:25:57] Guest53100: what kind of suggestions? [11:26:03] Go to Dres! :) [11:30:31] hehe [11:30:55] jool and its moons are always fun [11:32:49] no [11:32:55] they ate my last mission :P [11:33:00] hehe [11:33:53] six is afraid of seven, because seven eight nine :) [11:34:06] doesnt work in writing [11:36:32] time for lunch! [11:36:49] launch is tomorrow :) [11:37:09] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erfXf08tuFg [11:37:10] YouTube - Expedition 63 Launch to the International Space Station [11:37:19] But but but, that's not spacex [11:38:56] I wonder why ESA doesn't launch crewed soyuz from Kourou [11:39:35] probably administrative reason: the russians dont give it to them [11:39:47] only for the unmanned missions [11:45:32] actually esa writes they are open to the idea of manned launches, carefully avoiding the reason why it never happened [11:45:41] https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Transportation/Launch_vehicles/Soyuz [11:46:43] well [11:47:40] ESA has so much money, but just like the NASA they're stuck in bureaucracy and infighting [11:48:07] after F9s success they still decided to build a throwaway rocket [11:48:45] Oh, and what kind of people make those decisions? Yeah, babyboomers who grew up in a throw away culture... It hurts to watch [11:55:43] I mean, Merlin 1D and Vulcain 2 have similar thrust. So why not just take 9 of them and just plainly copy the F9? I don't get it. [11:56:08] and the add space rider to the mix as reusable upper stage [11:56:31] I will never get why people are so short sighted to see the obvious [12:03:50] thw "why" is easy. They have been taught to. [12:04:48] The "expenable" rocket also means jobs going to their companies that put the elected people in charge [12:07:38] This was a tough to find easter egg: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot166.png [12:20:36] Azander: so Airbus SE is the reason then... [12:21:02] darsie: you need a helicopter ;) [12:31:26] Mat2ch: I can parachute out and fly the plane back with a pod. [12:31:55] but now I can't land the plane. I thought I coudl before. [12:32:13] Always crashes the nose. [12:32:58] Helicopters! [12:33:11] Ospreys! [12:35:39] He LOL doing this morning [12:35:46] Yay, I did it. [12:36:07] You did what I got in and ask no questions yet [12:36:50] Well what is a number I can give you a phone call at at this location [12:38:19] Guest25841: I landed my plane after many failed attempts. [12:38:46] Why do you want to call me? [14:26:00] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-PdPtqw78k [14:26:00] YouTube - How Boston Dynamics' Spot Robot Works! [15:19:45] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:43:40] Althego: Spot is nice, but he didn't demonstrate a use case. [16:45:06] doesnt matter. spot and adam dancing right next to each other is awesome :) [16:45:32] :) [17:55:17] things i want to know: how long is one kellicam in si units [17:58:19] google suggest it's about 2km [17:58:39] so given a bit of a rounding error, it's just a klingon nautical mile [18:05:07] hehe 1 martian nautical mile is almost a km [18:13:40] Beware of the Martian Navy [18:13:48] and the matian pirates [18:14:01] no, not matt damon [18:14:08] Arrr, earthlubbers [18:14:38] anyway i calculated the martian nautical mile to be 986 m [18:14:59] Is the nautical mile relative to lat and long? [18:15:09] So a smaller planet has a smaller mile? [18:15:23] one arc minute of latitude with the average radius [18:16:06] A natical mile is defined as 1852 m [18:16:11] on earth [18:16:21] No, it's defined in terms of the meter now [18:16:22] that is why i said martian nautical mile [18:16:35] yes it is defined as 1852 m because that is 1 arc minute [18:16:51] And by now, I mean 1929 [18:17:14] so i took the 1 arc minute on mars. but my number may be slightly off [18:28:45] To get to the many easter eggs on Kerbin I built a cheap little glider. To my surprise the basic aluminium fins survived reentry with radial out attitude. It glides pretty good, too. And wow, it even landed in water like a plane without taking damage: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot175.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot173.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot174.png [18:29:13] lol taht is tiny [18:29:20] yeah :) [18:30:33] All I want is a good screenshot of the easter eggs, so I called it 'anomaly crasher', trying to crash as close as possible. But it glides really good :). [18:31:07] hehe [18:32:20] the great stuff is off kerbin [18:33:01] Please tell me it's not all monoliths except the airport on the island. [18:33:10] hehe [18:33:23] no, there are a few monoliths [18:33:32] but there are many other things [18:34:07] I mean, there's a list of 12 anomalies, and while I haven't read the descriptions, the paragraphs clearly had more to say than just 'monolith'. [18:34:12] Well, there's that saucer, and the inland space center [18:34:23] uh, also the desert ruins [18:34:27] TMI [18:34:32] :) [18:34:55] tut uhn jeb ahn or whatever its name is [18:35:06] yeah, also a ziggurat or 2 [18:35:31] tut-un-jeb-ahn [18:55:56] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3CWGDhkmbs [18:55:56] YouTube - Rocket Lab | Mid-Air Recovery Demo [18:56:35] this really looks like it could work [20:08:23] SPOILER WARNING! darsie glid to an anomaly on Kerbin: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot177.png [20:10:20] Took a few attempts to land there so I could time warp to daylight. Maybe a polar orbit at the terminator isn't ideal. [20:10:39] Just hitting the anomaly is much easier. [20:13:46] Comm network! [21:27:09] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio_' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:40:07] SPOILER WARNING! darsie glid to an anomaly on Kerbin: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot179.png [21:40:39] Final approach with my glider got easier when I remembered that I have a rocket engine with fuel remaining :). [21:41:40] My orbital burn now takes Pe to -300 km to avoid burning up in the atmosphere. [21:41:50] deorbit burn* [21:55:10] As long as it doesn't involve a ballistic flight into terrain [22:17:59] wot [22:18:15] what even is this [22:19:49] asdf [22:19:56] am I supposed to check every 30 seconds? [22:21:23] raptop: No, you're supposed to stare at this channel constantly. Do not blink! [22:21:39] right [22:21:44] :) [22:52:42] [blink] huh..? [/blink] [22:55:29] aaa, not bbcode [22:59:02] ;P
