[02:33:25] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Skyrim belongs to the Kerbals! [02:36:08] Falcon 9 upper stage to grow wings https://spacenews.com/spacex-to-modify-falcon-9-upper-stage-to-test-bfr-technologies/ [02:36:33] Action: UmbralRaptop straps boosters on to a dragon [02:37:21] Psht, the second incarnation comes with them. They're just used for aborts, of course. [02:40:16] Action: Scolar_Visari sagely notes that a returnable upper stage is quite a ways away from an interplanetary ship. [02:42:13] Yes, however it makes sense as a way to build towards one. [02:43:11] I'm not sure. Do they even KSP? [02:43:50] Action: Scolar_Visari also shudders at how many inevitable design changes such a path to the BFR will entail, including significant mass growth. [02:47:58] There's also that problem of customers . . . [02:49:37] Hah. Assuming BFR/BFS perform as advertised, how many would it take to saturate the existing launch market? One? [02:51:01] Er, there's not really a market for 100+ metric ton payloads, and I don't think it would actually be any better at launching other payloads unless they all happen to be in the same orbit. [03:02:03] I could totally see, however, the 100 person occupancy being dramatically reduced. [03:07:03] It's not like there's a DRA 5.0 level breakdown of all the requirements for the passengers and the mass needed for their support equipment. [03:11:30] Assuming a daily intake of 1.85 kilograms of food per person per day, a 8.5 month trip to Mars for 100 people would require at least 47 and a half tons of food. [03:12:31] hrm [03:15:24] Food-based hull [03:15:25] Even if you halve the travel time, that's still a significant amount of mass and volume occupying the ship. [03:22:08] UmbralRaptop: It has been done already http://www.beaverandsteve.com/comics/BnS_212.png [03:27:53] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders why FMV games are a thing again. [03:28:38] interactive reality tv? just what the planet needed [03:29:05] VanD: Oh no, they're all rather melodramatic it seems. [03:29:17] Except for the dating one. It's just rubbish. [03:29:41] Perhaps dating is not the right word? Ah yes, the Pick Up Artist simulator, that's what it is. [03:30:34] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders what sort of PUA simulator would have endings that don't result in the rolling of eyes or the splashing of drinks into people's faces. [03:42:08] Action: Scolar_Visari goes off to create a FMV game where all endings lead to the player's untimely death. [05:28:59] ISS UTL: 36% [05:43:35] wouldn't it be funnier if the "U" stood for "Uran"? [05:44:59] how long have you been holding onto that one? [05:45:13] about two minutes? [05:45:28] nice [05:46:24] there he is [05:46:55] urine level?

[15:09:28] Hi there [15:09:50] . [15:13:09] \o [15:18:38] Started stock KSP this week. Totalling 17h of gameplay in career & normal difficulty. Just wanted to pop and say 'Hi' and 'Thanks' [15:18:58] Idling here to check on the discussions of seasonned "players" [15:19:29] which are mostly weird thingsd [15:19:39] hopefully :) [15:19:46] if any [15:20:18] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:23:54] hmm, scott 7 hours ago [15:36:14] at 2:%5 does he have a mod that puts a face on the mun? maybe his own? [15:36:18] 2:55 [16:03:15] what are they doing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHpwtRkrxdw [16:05:26] Theyre testing Orion Spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean at sunset [16:05:38] yes, but... how is that a test [16:05:43] ok, it is not leaking [16:06:00] by practice recovering a test Orion capsule from the ocean waters [16:06:11] that doiesnt test the spacecraft [16:06:14] but the crew [16:06:19] no, but these tests verify and validate procedures and hardware that will be used to recover the Orion spacecraft after it splashes down in the Pacific Ocean following deep space exploration missions.

[17:13:37] yeah [17:14:08] then you get Peter.... buys a set for a full sized ultralight of his own making.. [17:15:29] the guy that runs the field where I been trying to do my schooling, feeling he's not too fond of the new tech. 'You don't need to get into something new (refering to electric planes) No point spending the extra cash right now.' or something along those lines [17:17:16] I been thinking.. download the latest KSP, worth recording playthrough? [17:17:47] not much has changed for a long time [17:18:04] feeling a bit sad I've neglected some of my previous careers, which actually was doing pretty good. Came up with some neat stuff [17:18:44] a few changes... [17:18:59] JVFoxy: What does playthrough include? All tech, fully upgrade all buildings, and? [17:19:08] I've always the impression people want to see the latest editions of things... [17:20:18] career, though I'd skip a lot of the early grinding. I noticed sometimes each career I run, something different comes out of it just before I tech up the research building [17:21:50] I'd probably run stock but I wouldn't mind some utilities, graphical features, KIS/KAS, ground experiments, maybe robotics. [17:23:12] So just complete the tech tree? [17:24:15] find sandbox is ok for some thing.. a bit of a lean now towards the challenge of building up. [18:00:03] hmm [18:00:11] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-2eYaFNF9I [18:00:59] hmm [18:05:34] the shine!

[18:37:14] There used to be a file for the AIES mod that made the landing gear functional again. Does anyone happen to have that laying around somewhere? I can't seem to find it anymore [20:47:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:13:02] Last message repeated 1 time(s).

'They grow up so fat'... :\ [22:23:06] glitch in the matrix? [22:24:48] eh... [22:25:07] .... grow up so fast.. i swear sometimes keyboard trolls me [22:26:22] Action: UmbralRaptop was referring to Fluburtur's pic. I assumed you were just making a silly pun? [22:27:30] didn't they say it was more like a 'da ja vue' sorta thing? An event you felt had happened already because the matrix made a change and things were just trying to catch up? [22:37:11] technically yes [22:45:59] actually, they weren't too far off in the movie... its something that actually happens in the brain they found out in the real world.
