[00:52:49] Let's read? [02:03:09] Oh boy, discussions on military uniforms! Gee, I'm glad we're reading about this instead of space combat and stuff. [02:10:32] Even when we're on spaceships, we're still stuck with talking about training instead of saying, "Oh, yeah, and several months passed and they were landed into enemy territory". [02:14:17] And another chapter bites the dust. [02:14:26] synthesis: concerns about clothing degrading unusually fast in the swamps of purple dagobah [02:20:31] Unfortunately, it's about uniforms aboard a troop transport. [02:20:52] Actually, it'd be kinda wild if the uniforms on Purple Dagobah had gotten eaten by space moths and they all fought naked. [02:21:11] Solar_Oracle, you've sold me on this series. granted, the first book is free, but still... [02:21:13] But that kind of stuff is for bad fantasy books, like The Sword of Truth series. [02:35:49] Oh dear, it appears the gravity guns do indeed fire rounds fast enough to be considered relativistic. [02:42:00] Ah, good. Every infantry squad needs a support weapon capable of taking out a dozen tank divisions [02:43:27] I did the math: Assuming 1 gram projectiles with speeds at 2% C, you get 17,980 megajoules a pop. [02:43:38] Or 4.3 tons of TNT in every round. [02:44:21] And that's not their support weapon: That's their standard firearm. [02:49:16] I guess they don't need to aim [02:49:50] Somehow, the soldiers armed with relativistic, rapid fire weaponry lose against a mere few thousand Posleen in a simulation. [02:49:54] That . . . Should not be possible. [02:56:28] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [03:02:43] And that's another one down. [03:02:46] And it for the day. [05:45:59] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1412864246719737856 interesting thread [07:14:42] bernhard@b:~/src$ echo `./kspconverttime 3 29 51`-`./kspconverttime 15 27`|bc|./kspconverttime `cat /proc/self/fd/0` [07:14:42] 0d 3:14:24 [07:15:50] converts between d h m s <-> s [07:19:42] but 6 hour days? [07:33:54] yes [07:35:17] https://pastebin.com/u5jmLzxx [09:08:59] If a 4-sided earth sees 24 hour days, does kerbin's 6 hour day mean it's one sided? [09:09:40] Althego: well, considering is not deciding ;) [09:10:09] yes, we still dont know how a mars mission is going to look like [09:11:13] UmbralRaptop, i'm pretty sure earth is 24-sided and kerbin is 6-sided [09:13:25] timecube, see… [09:14:13] (either way, this implies that Mars has a fractional number of sides) [09:18:50] I guess Mars is mostly polycrystalline, so it has lots of sides. [09:38:06] UmbralRaptop, hi [09:55:16] \o [13:28:56] UmbralRaptop: i'm fairly sure that both the surfaces of mars and earth have a fractal dimension [15:18:52] i'm not convinced this thing flies [15:18:54] https://i.ibb.co/hBXSynD/Screenshot-20210708-171613.png [15:29:59] well... at least i can't manage to even get it to drive along the runway [15:37:12] Eddi|zuHause: Why 3 engines? [15:43:34] i need to get to 13000m altitude to test the small engine [15:44:00] the big engine i need to test while landed, which is trivial [15:44:38] i actually managed to get it to fly... was a bit reactive on roll input, but fairly stable to fly otherwise [15:45:23] but when i got to the moment to test the engine, i lost controll and couldn't regain it, so i ejected and took the personal chute [15:45:50] contract fulfilled. kerbal lives... success? :p [15:46:23] and i forgot to take eva report while "flying" [16:11:[19:00:52] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:12:28] Milming Kerman didn't know how to throw the chute and survined splash down. [19:13:12] How can I throw the chute? Does it require qualification? [19:13:20] hehe. kerbal power, not knowing and still succeesinf [19:14:26] I just saved him from orbit. [19:16:35] Milming takes some parachute training ... https://i.postimg.cc/L4hJxF9f/screenshot112.png [19:17:21] Now he can throw chutes. [19:20:01] There was no deploy chute button before. [19:43:38] Environmentally friendly, electric parachute training: https://i.postimg.cc/rccGTDmZ/screenshot116.png [19:44:06] hehehe [20:11:21] What's draining my battery? https://i.postimg.cc/4fJCkpSb/screenshot120.png [20:12:29] click everything to see? [20:12:47] Hmm, science research. [20:13:05] Gotta send them on EVA to stop that. [20:17:52] darsie: or more solar panels. [20:17:56] and batteries [20:19:10] yeah [20:19:54] But I needed the scientists to go on EVA so the station gets enough power to be controllable. [20:20:26] Hmm, maybe I can send an engineer to attach a gigantor or two. [20:22:41] Make it two. :D [20:24:48] Hmm, cargo storage unit says "construction only part". [20:27:23] Can it be done? Without docking? [21:15:28] Yes [21:22:43] We have the technology! [21:24:59] darsie: "There was no deploy chute button before." - only pilots have chutes at zero stars [21:26:18] I rescued a scientist an upgraded her in the orbital lab. [21:26:35] There was a chute in the inventory. [21:26:43] I couldn't see it well on the back, though. [21:26:56] hm. in that case, she should have had the ability. weird.
