[01:04:03] I guess no engine class between weezleey and juno? [01:06:37] its just... one juno.. not quite the power, wheezly, waaay tooo much. two junos seem to do pretty good for a little craft [01:36:11] Controversial opinion: having gaps in the available parts where a cluster of engines is a better choice than a single large engine is a good thing.

I THINK I can get it into orbit without cheats...did it with cheats first so I know how it performs. https://i.gyazo.com/013caa56c9853735f9607c499afd72c9.png [03:49:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:40:02] http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-topics/space-missions/mer-updates/2018/08-mer-update-nasa-focuses-on-recovering-opportunity.html [05:42:26] I wish there was a way in flight to tell the length, width, and height of a vessel [05:42:54] i would like visible colored balls more [06:41:59] https://twitter.com/AstroStaab/status/1039322685791035393 [06:41:59] So on a more somber note ... it's been 90 Sols since we last heard from @MarsRovers. That's an entire prime missio& https://t.co/XVdY3VjKgx [06:42:38] the sky just cleared up around now to charge the batteries [06:43:02] if we are lucky there may be a message this week [06:43:05] maybe next [07:53:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [11:53:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:02:09] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:23:26] https://i.imgur.com/BAZGi6I.jpg [12:33:42] I didn't know they had Flash back then [13:10:30] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:59:17] https://i.gyazo.com/b9695371ec86c033bfc66eee1f6d57f5.png - Deorbited a refueler and here's the only thing that survived...thought it would act like a frisbee....but it just tumbles. [14:07:45] Conservation of angular momentum is only a semi-thing in KSP [14:22:00] as usual scott managed to release a video just after i went to bed [14:22:08] so after a whole day i find it there [14:22:25] he always does this, really annoying [14:32:24] So, I can't install mechjeb thru CKAN [14:33:00] it says the max KSP version is 1.4.9 [14:33:06] but I'm running 1.4.5 something [14:33:24] also, I've tried uninstalling KSP from steam and reinstalling [14:33:40] and it stays at version 1.4.5 something [17:05:58] heh, hehe... t wanted to send me a new router. gls messed up, did not send it to me, but marked it as completed. called t, they told me call gls, called gls, they told me to call t, called t, they called gls, oscillation temporarily stopped, router is nowhere [17:06:24] while i was at it i could have asked for a permit a38 too [17:08:00] and had to fight my way through "vanda", a voice interpreting ai twice, that dispatched me to the operators [17:08:25] because this is the 21. century [17:08:47] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5kwSap9Ug [17:08:48] YouTube - Asterix - The Twelve Tasks of Asterix - #8: Find Permit A 38 in "The Place That Sends You Mad" [18:16:02] I have received my carbon tubes [18:16:17] this means I will now try to fit a airsoft machinegun in a rc plane [18:16:37] firing through the axle of the propeller [18:16:50] nice [18:17:09] how do you intend to do that [18:17:21] however that means I will have ot mount the propeller straight so I will have to deal with unwated yaw [18:17:34] 3d printed QEV valve and gearbox to affset the motor [18:17:44] not really, if the axle is thick enough [18:17:54] you can put a smaller tube in it in a different angle [18:18:01] nah that won't work [18:18:46] I guess the whole axle will have ot be between 15 to 20cm long [18:20:45] how did the real airplanes solve this problem? [18:20:59] they had to use rudder all the time [18:21:15] because they would yaw a lot to the left otherwise [18:21:20] what if you move the propeller off center a bit? [18:21:24] late series bf109 had that problem a lot [18:21:38] doesn't help, it needs to have some angle [18:22:17] both would add a yaw [18:22:17] or I could put it as hood gun and have it synced to the propelelr but my plane didn't have that [18:23:45] heh kounotori launch is... in 1 days before midnight [18:23:51] 2 [21:11:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v RyanKnack' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:24:49] what is the program about? [21:25:17] Space flight [21:25:57] human or non human flights? and to where and how? [21:26:07] Orbital mechanics and rocketry with some major realism aspects, but still tuned to a difficulty that is fun. [21:26:20] just watch some videos of the game [21:26:37] as in video game? [21:26:45] The protagonists are little green aliens, and I think there's a demo on steam? [21:26:59] yeah should be [21:27:49] sounds like mars attacks. remember that movie? lol i think there is a video game based on that movie? [21:32:19] Huh? Join a game channel, ask what the game is about, leave? [21:35:29] I suspect came in from the website... has a link for webclient and brings you right here [21:35:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:38:13] Evening, Gentlemen.

I'd probably kill the battery in no time flat [21:47:40] Laptops definitely can. [21:48:07] my laptop could [21:48:11] before it was filled with crap [21:50:46] my home pc is 64 bit win 7... this machine laptop, 32bit.. win 10.. not the greatest 3d card [21:51:31] I have a studen project 3d racing game, Nitronic Rush, it runs, a little chinky, as long as things are turned down. [21:52:56] chinky... ugh stupid ... chunky i mean [22:58:58] maybe someone here can clear this up for me, the newspaper writes something about "dawn" running out of hydrazine for its engines, and follows that up with "that means communication is not possible anymore"... i kinda fail to see the connection [23:03:37] orienting the antenna? [23:03:57] that could well be [23:10:17] it also says it has xenon-based ion drives [23:21:35] According to what I have read, that is the case. Hydrazine == Monopropellent [23:34:02] Jvfoxy had it. [23:34:57] Eddi|zuHause: Dawn's steering ability with its ion engines is rather limited, so it mainly uses a hydrazine burning RCS
