[03:31:44] <Ragnaman> Hey, I have 2 big drills on asteroid; Everything works great, but when i accelerate to x1000 the drills stop after few seconds. There is plenty of radiators to keep them at 100% efficiency.
[03:35:57] <Ragnaman> i tried to look whether a full ore tank is the culprit, but nope, even when all conditions are good for drills they stop at x1000
[03:36:12] <Ragnaman> I cant figure this out, i cant remember whether this happened on surface of Mun or Minmus
[03:36:22] <Ragnaman> is it a bug with asteroid mining mode for drills ?
[05:26:18] <Triffid_Hunter> Ragnaman: when you time accelerate, all the rates get stuck, so if your electricity happened to be going down at that moment, it'll rapidly plummet to zero even after your panels turn to face the sun. I guess miners do the same thing, if the rate is dropping then it'll just keep going even if during timewarp the conditions improve
[05:26:46] <Triffid_Hunter> Ragnaman: once you understand what's happening, you can exploit this to start mining in the middle of the day and keep mining through the night since your electricity stays full ;)
[05:27:34] <Althego> yes, that is what i do, because dont like to wait pointlessly
[05:27:46] <Althego> although i think the effect really kicks in at higher speeds

[10:17:36] <darsie> It's weird that it's most efficient to get the apoapsis to 70 km while still at 35 km. Looks like gravity losses are worse than air at this altitude.
[10:18:06] <darsie> I put a space station in orbit which didn't have enough fuel to do it any other way.
[10:18:33] <darsie> hmm
[10:19:17] <darsie> I mean ... flying very flat. Have the Ap >90 deg ahead at 70 km while still at 35 km.
[10:19:49] <darsie> Even having a Pe showing up.
[10:28:28] <darsie> I guess it's rather a bug in the atmosphere.
[10:28:59] <darsie> Or, an unrealism.
[10:29:42] <Rolf> maybe you found a variant of infiniteglide
[10:34:34] <Gasher[work]> just the way it's modelled i guess
[10:38:40] <darsie> Anyone want to fly my rocket to orbit?
[10:39:16] <Eddi|zuHause> guys, i have a proof that the earth is flat.
[10:39:20] <Eddi|zuHause> in this image https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2018/09/25/23/50AAC6F600000578-0-image-a-19_1537914870314.jpg
[10:39:41] <Eddi|zuHause> you see the top of the window is exactly "parallel" to the earth "rounding"
[10:39:59] <Eddi|zuHause> but that window is only "round" from the lense distortion
[10:40:10] <Eddi|zuHause> ergo the earth is also only "round" due to that same lense distortion
[10:40:57] <Gasher[work]> now guess the location
[10:43:30] <Eddi|zuHause> what? the ISS is held up there by the same forces that hold up the sun and moon. dipoles!
[10:44:29] <Eddi|zuHause> of course, the ISS is also a media hoax at the same time
[10:45:00] <darsie> That's it: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot79.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/space%20station.craft At 50 m/s turn 10 deg east, not too fast and not too slow.

[17:16:44] <Scolar_Visari> Sons and daughters of Kerbin: If a Population III star forms and we can't observe it directly, does it exist?
[17:17:38] <darsie> Does the Sun exist if it's eclipsed by Earth?
[17:18:35] <darsie> Does sensing the photons coming from the Sun constitute direct observation? Or does that require touching it?
[17:18:54] <sandbox> do you exist?
[17:19:04] <darsie> I think, therefore I am.
[17:19:23] <darsie> - darsie
[17:20:46] <kubi> I drink, therefore I am.
[17:21:04] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if Hubble could be converted into a Death Ray.
[17:21:33] <darsie> Getting smacked by Hubble at 10 km/s is certainly deadly.
[17:21:45] <Scolar_Visari> Ah, but it can only do that once. 
[17:21:47] <darsie> Unless it just evaporates your arm.
[17:22:50] <darsie> It might burn a hole in your space suit if you point it at the sun and put your hand at the focus.
[17:23:01] <Scolar_Visari> I was thinking of tacking a laser on to it ala Polyus.
[17:23:16] <Scolar_Visari> For science, of course.
[17:29:14] <Scolar_Visari> Though Polyus' mission didn't end well
[17:38:56] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if the next Stellaris update will include proper commerce raiding.

[17:46:51] <Guest80004> Hi everyone 
[17:47:03] <Guest80004> can someone help? https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/178843-problem-with-action-group/
[17:47:16] <Scolar_Visari> A KSP related query? On #KSPOfficial?
[17:47:23] <Scolar_Visari> What nonsense is this!?
[17:47:56] <Guest80004> ups sry
[17:49:33] <darsie> lol
[17:51:20] <Scolar_Visari> I must've broken some kind of record there.
[17:56:28] <Scolar_Visari> 5/10 needs more arms https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1810/NGC1672_Hubble_3600.jpg

[18:16:12] <madmerlyn> what are the odds NASA funds a couple SpaceX launches to repair Hubble provided Elon makes some sort of proposal
[18:22:09] <darsie> Does Spacex have a ship with a hatch large enough for an EVA suit?
[18:22:32] <darsie> And why several missions? Isn't one enough?
[18:30:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
[18:38:57] <madmerlyn> I don't think they'll be able to fit the equipment such as a new canadarm to work on Hubble in Dragon's trunk
[18:39:33] <madmerlyn> so realistically a repair mission would likely involve either a completely new crewed craft.. or more likely.. a mission specific craft that the Dragon could dock to, on a second launch
[18:39:48] <madmerlyn> really it's all unlikely, but could be neat
[19:02:46] <umaxtu> or something that could "tow" it to the ISS. that might be simplest despite the relatively large amount of deltaV that would be required
[19:12:47] <madmerlyn> simplest would be to drag Atlantis back to be refurbished :P
[19:13:14] <umaxtu> no, neither of the launch pads are capable of supporting the shuttle anymore
[19:13:57] <madmerlyn> so build a new one, Canaveral going to be underwater soon anyway
[19:15:58] <umaxtu> that won't be cheap
[19:17:21] <madmerlyn> lol refubing Atlantis wouldn't be cheap either
[19:17:25] <madmerlyn> refurbing*
[19:18:58] <umaxtu> exactly, two not cheap projects each of which would cost several billion at the very least
[19:19:34] <oren> launch a new hubble
[19:20:25] <oren> that is probably cheaper than refurbing a space shutle
[19:21:00] <umaxtu> I still think a tug might be cheaper
[19:21:58] <oren> umaxtu: yeah a tug would be cheaper, assuming that hubble has docking ports that are well centred and can take stress
[19:22:28] <umaxtu> part of the last servicing mission was installing a point for an automated spacecraft to attach to
[19:22:31] <darsie> Make sure hubble is not fouled by rocket exhaust etc.
[19:22:54] <darsie> Or evaporating RP-1.
[19:23:00] <umaxtu> granted, I believe it was intended for deorbiting Hubble
[19:56:12] <Draconiator> Doesn't Hubble have a small compartment, sorta like an ISS module but much smaller?
[22:13:39] <Blaank> Can they send a Soyuz to the Hubble space telescope to replace the gyros again?
[22:14:02] <Blaank> I don't know if it has the payload and orbital range to reach it.
[22:14:13] <Althego> costly
[22:14:17] <Blaank> Sure.
[22:14:19] <Althego> even if they could reach it
[22:14:25] <Blaank> How much does another one cost new?
[22:14:46] <Althego> a hubble? :)
[22:14:52] <Blaank> yeah
[22:15:35] <Blaank> Hmm.....
[22:15:47] <Blaank> Push the hubble and dock it with the ISS as a permenant structure.
[22:15:53] <Blaank> Probably not feasable.
[22:16:05] <Althego> high delta v reuirement
[22:16:13] <Althego> and probably unsafe too
[22:18:34] <Azander> the last shuttle that went to service the hubble damaged the lauchpad during takeoff because of the extra dV they used at launch point
[22:19:03] <Althego> also there is no more planned maintenance in hubble
[22:19:06] <Azander> it was also the heaviest payload too
[22:19:34] <Azander> yeah, the James Webb Telescope is supposed to already be in service.
[22:19:51] <UmbralRaptor> Heavier than Chandra? 
[22:20:26] <Althego> heh the ending of blackwell (epyphany)
[22:20:32] <Althego> didnt expect this
[22:21:17] <Blaank> RIP Hubble.
