[13:40:01] https://onthewight.com/a-plane-has-been-scanning-the-isle-of-wight-every-day-for-the-last-week/ [13:40:11] takes effort [13:40:15] http://bioflight.dk/about-bio-flight/ [13:40:19] the owner [13:40:54] umaxtu: I'm not sure if this isn't vicious [13:42:38] is it possible that there are sand banks? And they cartographed them there, maybe to build a wind park? [13:45:38] sand banks. to hold sand dollars :) [13:45:43] I would think that they'd get better readings from a boat [13:49:03] umaxtu: how, there might be sand beneath you :D [13:52:51] there's another plane from Prestwick flying near Glasgow [13:53:25] similar pattern [14:33:01] Russians, I tell ya [14:34:31] russian bots? [14:38:31] Looks like they're primarily scanning over land, so probably not offshore wind... [14:38:31] Flying planes. Yes. [14:38:44] FLHerne: that side would be good for onshore wind... :D [14:39:32] "Looks like military grade by the rivets on the tail, made to look like a standard vulcanair. Could be Russian I suppose, but considering Danish involvement it’s either subterfuge, but most likely scouting out of our bacon and butter industry. Danish govt also has a 90% stake in our onshore renewables, so could be a joint venture. Wouldn’t be surprised if it were Google and Bing in a joint enterprise. Mapping our island with military precision would be [14:39:34] very valuable to the right country such as China. Keep watching those skies!" [14:39:40] ^ from the article comments [14:41:13] lol [14:41:38] Fedor must be involved [14:44:45] hah perfect. reaper with zombie tomorrow... but in apex, sadly [16:17:28] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v kbuck' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:28:46] I have arisen from the dead [17:29:06] AHHH ITS A ZOMBIE! [17:29:25] This is the perfect place to be [17:29:39] Because everybody here is affiliated with rocketry [17:29:59] So there's so many brains [17:30:06] not as cute as the other zombie i know of [17:30:16] ? [17:30:35] Undead raptop? [17:32:11] Anyways, yeah I'm back into KSP. I got distracted by playing a bunch of Roblox, Minecraft, GTA V, Friday Night Funkin, and coding things. [17:38:52] Action: raptop is not in hololive! [17:38:57] yet [17:38:59] Action: raptop also is not indonesian >_> [17:39:13] also not addicted? [17:39:30] dunno what counts as addicted wrt vtubers [17:41:18] Watching a video pretty much as soon as it is uploaded, maybe? [17:42:16] Probably catching the streams at weird times [17:42:40] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lERuoAow5c [18:09:02] oh, pressure test underway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbgoqMcirI [18:09:32] feel the rpessure [18:09:50] i think at this point they can build the tanks correctly at least [18:22:22] maybe, maybe not [18:22:40] tests are important [18:22:51] what i mean i dont expect this to fail [18:25:22] SN15 does have the new thrust bulkhead design [18:30:48] i am worried the whole flip thing is not going to work out even with the header tanks [18:33:03] same [18:33:33] first it looked doable. but all of the prototypes failed [18:44:15] i'm so tired [18:44:40] the flip will be done with the RCS soon [18:44:55] doing it with the raptors is just because they are not ready yet [18:45:07] aaaand the flip worked, only the raptors themselfs had problems... [18:45:33] they are trying to put lots and lots of new things into Spaceship and that's really a challenge [18:45:54] but is the flip causing the raptor problems? [18:46:00] like pressuring the tanks with exhaust gases [18:46:14] clearly spacex has to crease a rotating raptor test stand [18:47:09] hehe [18:47:11] let me think. I think Sn8 had bubbles in the fuel lines. So maybe yes, but maybe just not enough pressure [18:47:30] but this is what i meant [18:47:32] SN9 had problems with the raptors not fireing correctly when doing the flip [18:47:38] previously the raptors were ok [18:47:44] yet the landing failed [18:47:45] SN10 had a problem with the raptors [18:48:42] For SN11 they had a Methane leak which burnt some cables for the avionics system and then the second raptor had a hard start and we don't know if it went through the thrust puck or if the fts got triggered. [18:49:00] this last one was the only actual engine related thing [18:55:05] raptors not firing correctly sounds engine related [18:57:43] except when it is pressurization related [19:05:26] jep [19:05:43] apparently they are killing of old designs of the raptor engines there... [19:07:49] how different are the raptors on SN15? [19:09:31] we don't know yet. [19:12:22] Fuel/oxidizer connections are moved, and some of the external plumbing is tidier [19:13:01] internal changes, who knows? [19:13:49] at this point those are probably just tweaks for slight gains, lower mass or easier production [19:16:06] Less blowing up would be nice [19:21:14] so ok to blow up but make it smaller? :) [19:26:19] no, constant controlled blowing them up helps here! [19:26:40] that would be that detonation engine thing [19:26:45] that scott talked about [19:27:12] well, in a way it is constantly blowing up, just releasing the gases in a controlled way. ;)
