[13:19:58] With? [13:20:03] !nextlunch [13:20:03] Mostly_Deddly: Porridge. [13:20:11] Interesting combination [13:20:52] lol [13:21:24] I can't believe it took me so long to come up with that topic [14:09:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:11:42] !mission [14:11:42] Mat2ch: You search for the Mysterious Cities of Kerbin. In the ensuing investigation, you maintain that that mountain, quote, "came out of freaking nowhere." [14:12:02] hehehe [14:12:09] mysterious cities of gold [14:12:45] Ah, Gold, nothing worth anymore. Looking for burried bitcoins [14:13:04] try natural sources of antimatter [14:13:49] or maybe carbon nanotubes, but i dont know of any natural sources [14:13:52] the Nerdle Cam Stream is lagging. A few hours or so behind. [14:14:00] hours? lol [14:14:15] yes it shouldnt be this dark [14:14:17] oh, power outtage, so cameras down :| [14:14:37] it should be solar powered and using batteries during the night [14:42:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:01:00] yeah, a bag of antimatter would worth a lot [15:01:27] suposedly you can collect some around the magnetic fields of jupiter [15:02:19] after covid then we travel a bit [15:06:09] you can self isolate around jupiter pretty well :) [15:09:01] Keep your distance. [15:09:49] there is only one human made object there at the moment, so you can be quite alone [15:12:47] 17 seconds, i think it is above average [15:42:26] Althego, the Red Spot is entrancing [15:45:54] hehe, a sentence comes into my mind: it's shrinking! [15:46:08] Sad [15:46:25] (from the film 2010) [15:46:39] Althego, its violently entrancing [15:51:57] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:56:37] the Nerdle cam is back! [15:56:45] and no undocking [15:59:02] ah, bad weather is holding them back [15:59:20] from undocking? [15:59:51] Mat2ch, the mindless primitive violence of the Great Spot is so entrancing...it naturally guides the eye towards the epicenter of the violent cosmic storm [16:00:30] have to hurry and get there to have humans look at it before it completely vanishes. at least that is no going to be our fault [16:01:05] Althego: from landing [16:01:44] what is coming back? [16:02:41] CRS-21, Cargo Dragon [16:04:09] i guess it uses the same landing areas as the crew dragon now, so the weather around there has some effect on that [16:21:21] It's landing in the Atlantic ocean now. NASA wished for that. Probably because it's easier to get it to KSC. [16:22:24] i dont get why americans are so afraid of solid gorund [16:22:54] the russians have ben using land since forever [16:25:26] Starliner does [16:25:34] and it doesnt work [16:25:50] Well, the airbags seem to work ok [16:25:59] just the whole thing doesnt [16:26:03] with the 90 or so issues [16:26:13] And Dragon was going to land on land, but NASA didn't like retropropulsion [16:26:19] With SpaceX water was always just the secondary option. But when NASA decided that they don't like powered landings, the primary option was gone. [16:26:28] iwasnt the issue the landing legs poking through the heat shield? [16:26:31] No [16:26:52] That was the stupid Reddit 'fact' [16:27:27] well doesnt matter, the dragon is just a small intermediate step [16:27:43] Would have set a good precedent though [16:28:15] Of course, the incident where the retropropulsion system exploded and destroyed a capsule might show they had a point :p [16:32:37] no, because that is still the escape system [16:33:53] But the fix was just to add a burst disk [16:34:04] replacing a valve [16:34:32] Which prevents using it as a reusable retropropulsion system, and probably would have been there already if it wasn't designed as one [16:34:41] In addition to, surely [16:35:23] bbut the result was still the splashdown [16:35:42] ? [16:36:01] not LANDing [16:37:51] Retropropulsion would have been a landing [17:09:24] these new kerbal faces are getting kinda creepy... https://i.redd.it/vk7tg8rmzde31.jpg [17:10:49] hehehe [17:11:04] hullo, it's scott kerman here :) [17:12:19] I dont' know which is worse.. https://imgur.com/PZgBAyy [17:12:36] hehe [17:12:45] originally was looking for aa aaa aaaa memes, but thought I'd see if there was any kerbal ones [17:13:38] of course,, my first mistake? accidentally posting to wrong channel. >.< ya.. either I lay down for a bit more or get some go juice soon [17:27:23] The reason SpaceX didn't push ahead with powered landings was NASA, primarily, but also because they wanted do devote R&D resources to Starship/Superheavy [17:27:45] not the first thing they scrapped, not the last [17:28:01] at least the starship is simply too big for such tricks [17:38:42] Starship is also not reliant on NASA [17:39:43] And since NASA are interested in using it for future Moon missions, propulsive landing is a must, anyway [17:40:05] the moon starship is possibly a different design [17:40:15] without heatshield and special landing engines [17:40:43] i am afraid they are going to fall into a trap with that just as with falcon heacy. oh we just strap these boosters togeteher and we are go. it wasnt that simple [17:55:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:51:09] I haven't been able to find the Zvezda module after installing ROCapsules and ROEngines, any ideas why?

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will see your question soon :) [19:05:20] yes, i dont know much either. i would try to uninstall mods until it comes back [19:06:07] That is generally the usual way... try to find out which mod is causing the issue. This is Realism Overhaul, right? [19:08:39] Guest90476, Realism Overhaul actually has a dedicated IRC channel, if you're interested - type /join #RO [19:22:07] I believe the European space station has a lot of Nitrogen deliverys [19:23:10] The zero gravity semi conductor lab has a lot of drops into earth space!! [19:23:42] I’m wondering who picks up in Alaska [19:24:18] sorry [19:24:24] North Pole [19:26:27] Only joking they produce there own Nitrogen [19:27:22] looking at meteorological data [19:28:05] Data match with space x [19:32:03] They do? From what? Pee? [19:33:19] ...what European space station? [19:33:19] european space station? [19:33:24] jinx [19:33:43] anyway i havent understood a single sentence from that [19:34:43] Well, nitrogen is a thing. This we can all agree on. [19:35:09] how do you produce nitrogen? through fusion? [19:35:44] Suns do. [19:35:48] Stars* [19:36:07] did humans ever produced nitrogen? [19:36:13] By fusion? [19:36:17] or so? [19:36:18] or any way [19:36:29] Google tells me that the encyclopaedia Britannica says that nitrogen can be produced by burning hydrocarbons in air and separating the CO2 and water from residual nitrogen. [19:36:35] i can imagine other wys, by splitting atoms [19:36:46] Probably with some particle accelerators. [19:36:55] So that's more like refining it than producing it [19:37:04] yes, that is not producing it [19:37:20] Or you can make nitrogen by heating barium azide, apparently. [19:37:26] I mean, given the large amount of nitrogen in the air, there's no need to mess around with nuclear processes. fractional distillation of air is sufficient [19:37:38] Or is something like producing ammonia, nitrates, etc meant? [19:38:43] I guess we shall never know [19:38:48] 0.8% N in urine. [19:38:48] hehe [19:38:59] that is not too bad [19:39:09] oh btw, what is the urinte tank level [19:39:10] And we're electrolyzing the water to get O2. [19:39:36] I guess we'l purify the water prior to electrolysis. [19:42:20] See this is what I love about this community. Someone attempts to troll (maybe) and we turn it into a serious conversation about space travel. [19:42:27] Never change, KSP community [19:43:55] Could be worth it to make N2 and only bring up LOX. [19:44:07] no urinte tank level [19:44:17] why cant i write it correctly [19:44:23] probably because the t in the tank [19:44:35] Then again, we don't really use up N2, so we need to replenish only a little. [19:44:45] you do use up n2, by leaking [19:44:52] Leaks? [19:44:59] no perfect seal [19:45:03] the iss always leaks a bit [19:45:10] Ok, but I guess this is small. [19:45:36] And we do grow plants. There are probably a few nitrogen fixating bacteria. [19:57:58] Nitrogen is dangerous when forced into lockdown. It wants to roam the world [20:02:26] Althego: Oh no. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xujqf5EjimI :D [20:02:40] fixing nitrogen implies that nitrogen is broken [20:02:51] n2 op, pls nerf [20:06:22] no, from bottles [20:06:26] why [20:07:10] fixing also can imply nitrogen is procreating :) [20:08:41] the stitching now looks creepy enough for the mighty fingers... [20:20:23] Oh no, in Boca Chica a concrete truck fell over! [20:22:18] i cant see it [20:22:49] meanwhile on nsf, pelicans on boat [20:23:23] I can't see it neither, it was just in the quickinfo box [20:23:31] and boat beached on the beach [21:33:46] .
