[00:01:16] good, the invasion cover is working [00:01:17] oops [00:04:08] was pretty cool driving through norfolk, va [00:04:14] f22s flying all over the place [00:04:55] sorta mixed feelings on the f22s for our airforce... gotten kind of fond of the cf-18s here.. maybe a canadian version of the super hornets [00:36:52] I don't get remotetech contracts... 'no connectivity to inner planets' to get inner planets contract... [00:37:13] spent forever trying to achive that, even turned off/destroyed all my sats, no good, tried changing time incase KSC was connected.. no good. [00:37:26] build megasat and point dish at every planet, suddenly the contract is doable?? wut. [00:40:37] Action: JVFoxy attempts building plane that can deploy a cabin on the ground.. early career.. [00:42:59] https://i.imgur.com/xszw65f.jpg my solution to 6 huge dishs on a single sat. [00:45:13] https://i.imgur.com/K1K9ToS.jpg [00:46:12] imgur sure is cranking the quality to potato these days. [00:46:56] FVfoxy: yea I went to see the airshow today in Canada, BC. Had them fly about 100' over my truck. [00:51:02] oooh? [00:51:24] hmm.. wonder how this'll fly... custom plane for dropping a cabin down over near the north pole [00:51:26] https://imgur.com/a/4bJ7m7x [00:51:26] https://i.imgur.com/p6Ez8hQ.jpg [00:51:57] would have loved to go... can't afford. I got lucky back when I volunteered at the museum of flight [00:52:02] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/214523379766525963/478002622729682969/unknown.png [00:52:17] JVFoxy: I just parked a few blocks away and sat on my tailgate :P [00:52:50] I got right in there, mostly because I was helping at the booth for the museum a few years back [00:53:06] I suppose I could have gone over, sat somewhere nearby but eh.. not the same as being able to tour the planes [00:53:07] M [00:53:09] U [00:53:09] I got pics [00:53:10] S [00:53:12] E [00:53:14] UM [00:53:17] MUSEUM [00:53:24] JVFoxy: MUSEUM [00:53:24] .... [00:53:56] museum is one of my ping words [00:54:00] Don't need that anymore! https://i.imgur.com/HtB7RF6.jpg [00:54:01] I like museums [00:54:17] museum is my summon word [00:54:22] oh was like.. its spelled right.. autochecker wasn't throwing a fit at me [00:54:38] JVFoxy: I wanna go to the museum of flight [00:55:26] I mean it still doesnt hold a candle to my local museum but I still like trying to visit all the aerospace museums [00:56:04] been to one in seattle ages ago [00:56:15] back when concorde sat in the parking lot.. parked under it ;P [00:56:37] then again, later when it was on the other side of the road early says before the roof was built [00:56:46] says=days [00:57:38] one of my fav pics.. stitched a few together to make a wide shot sorta: https://www.deviantart.com/jimfoxyboy/art/747-RA001-206026366 [00:59:29] >deviantart [00:59:33] hmmm [00:59:42] debating whether or not to click [01:00:45] JVFoxy: come to the national museum of the usaf [01:03:13] I've visited the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, I happened to be near there while visiting a friend. He offered up the chance to go there, I'd drive him. His vision meant he couldn't drive... sadly he passed a short while after I left. [01:04:46] JVFoxy: well if you are ever within like... 300-500 miles of dayton it's worth the long detour [01:04:46] .... certain kinds of batteries used to have mercury.., people toss them into the trash all the time. Now the recycling center takes them <-- now we have laws that all shops need to take back batteries (if they sell them) [01:04:57] JVFoxy: we have the XB-70 [01:05:02] and an F-22 [01:05:06] YF-23 [01:05:55] is anyone here playing adventure games? [01:06:06] and replaying them for any side achievements? [01:06:26] I barely have time to play them for main achievements [01:06:30] (some of them are crazy hidden) [01:06:34] ugh ok base transport just ... all over the place. take off a truss, use the normal tail piece instead of one pointed down, its fllying .. better. [01:07:05] Edii|zuHause olden days.. [01:07:26] in the olden days, there were no achievements :p [01:07:35] no.. for your battery question [01:08:14] as far back as i can remember, i was always told to not throw batteries into the trash [01:08:40] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_battery [01:08:49] mostly they were button cell types [01:09:17] most people know mercury from being in thermometers [01:11:29] &and tuna [01:12:10] Tunamometers. [01:12:42] a few years ago a family got hospitalized after some kids found a jar of mercury and brought it back home [01:12:50] eek [01:13:15] And now Fluburtur is playing with the stuff and spilling it, and thinking about microwaving it -_- [01:13:52] And this is why we can't have shiny liquid metal things. [01:15:04] just get the t-900 or whatever to deal with him [01:15:23] you think the regular liquid metal is deadly... [01:30:25] uff.. ok third try.. this version flying better. used long rocket fuel tank instead of trusses for the middle.. much more stable. :) [01:31:11] I sort of want to do a single engine version now.. but .. getting the landing gear to touch teh ground might be a problem without the underwing pods [01:33:06] ok I know night time flying.. sorry: https://imgur.com/a/0xObNW7 [01:33:06] https://i.imgur.com/4FDMSy3.png [01:48:15] lol at little drop pod [01:48:25] only not to be dropped from flight [01:48:37] land, detatch, roll away from it [01:48:44] more a test [01:48:53] Yea, Iv found it generally easier to do a flight drop. if you circle around till it lands, it will even work! [01:49:19] thing is... [01:49:28] I didn't upgrade the hangar [01:49:32] Of course, if you want to land with it, thats fun too. [01:49:33] so limited to 30 parts.. [01:49:37] ah, lol. [01:49:41] current config.. 28 parts.. [01:49:54] thats enough to put 1 chute on it :0 [01:50:30] just deploy the chute and disconnect the docking coupler as emergency abort, even if you still normally land it :P [01:52:00] this isn't final version.. [01:53:05] mulling things over as I fly out.. docking port on the front, thinking next run I'd send another module out, connects to it. [01:53:59] I was kind of hoping if I can one engine design, maybe it'll free up some parts space. I know I can just upgrade the hangar but ... challenges? [02:04:12] redocking is pretty tricky too with front mounted ports [02:04:26] vertical ports you can just retract/extend landing gear, usally... [02:05:57] getting a little worried I've burned past my bingo... [02:06:17] I won't know till I drop off, head back.. its just a test.. [02:06:32] hehe. I once was going to make one more hop [02:06:43] then looked at my DV and was like oh shit and pulled off a quick orbit instead [02:07:02] make a node back home... 6DV left after that burn to 40km PE, lol [02:07:12] That's a few times now BlackMoon [02:07:45] sorry. Not used to family friendly channels. I'll try harder. [02:09:55] lol.. whoops [02:10:03] forgot, gear does /all/ gear including the legs [02:10:22] hahah. Iv been binding solar panels to gear on sats that don't have any gear. [02:10:35] cause havent fully upgraded the VAB [02:16:40] JVFoxy: oh you know what else my museum has [02:16:42] rockets [02:16:47] lovely lovely rockets [02:16:53] like a Titan IV [02:17:03] the only one left [02:17:42] ya I was reading up on that. I didn't realize it lifted off on just SRB's only then switched to liquid after on the next stage [02:18:05] SRB's considered stage 0.. like they didn't really consider it a 'proper stage' or something? [02:18:18] JVFoxy: and then the second stage was hotfired too [02:18:28] JVFoxy: Programmers made it. :) [02:18:49] Hot fired? [02:18:54] .. programers... "m equals 1" rwar! [02:19:00] TheKosmonaut: quit oppressing BlackMoon [02:19:06] reee [02:19:10] <3 [02:19:18] hot fired means firing engine before previous stage burnout [02:19:28] yes [02:19:46] mostly so the fuel lines didn't vapor or bubble because of low gravity when thrust stopped [02:19:56] JVFoxy: there's a cool video out there of what happens when you hotfire a Titan (II in this case) second stage [02:20:23] https://youtu.be/PBkZNMM_IUg [02:20:23] YouTube - Archival Titan II Launch Vehicle Staging Video in Color [02:20:29] Russian did it a lot on number of their rockets.. hence why the latices between stages. [02:20:32] JVFoxy: Sooo, Hot rocket on still firing rocket action eh? [02:21:04] How does that not result in horrible horrible things like.. whenever I stage too soon in KSP and previous stages take out the main rocket? [02:21:10] though in some cases, they added boosters on the latices, dropped the previous stage, burned boosters to give some push on the tanks. fired engine, then dropped the frame [02:21:12] JVFoxy: yeah but lattice hotfires dont look as cool [02:21:33] gemini did hot firing... they had holes in between stages [02:21:34] Do they stay attached till the previous stage burns out? [02:21:46] BlackMoon: we are talking like a few seconds of overlap in firing at most [02:21:53] usually fractions of seconds [02:22:03] no [02:22:17] once the next stage is ignited they drop [02:22:23] rokker: Yes and a few seconds of overlap = exploded rocket in KSP. 1/2 second maybe goes well. 1/4 second would likely be OK [02:22:42] watch the youtube link [02:22:46] Rokker: I oppress as I please [02:22:54] k [02:22:55] some cases I think in gemini or mercury.. they had little booster rockets. would fire into the previous stage, they found the close proximity actually gave a slightly better boost than if was done in open space away [02:23:04] Now shut up and bring my grapes and chariot [02:23:12] Action: Rokker throws TheKosmonaut's tea in the harbor [02:23:28] Action: TheKosmonaut clicks harsh treatment [02:23:41] wow that shroud got demolished lol. [02:23:41] oh and.. made it to pole.. [02:23:41] https://imgur.com/a/JuI6BIK [02:23:52] second pic.. you can see texture doing that 4 way [02:23:52] Action: Rokker rises up anyways, on the opposite side of where his soldiers are [02:24:15] JVFoxy: spiderlegs. Too bad it does not have servos... [02:24:23] They rise from the highest developed province [02:24:25] servoes.. for what/ [02:24:31] to move the legs like a spider. [02:24:39] oh.. walky? [02:24:42] shrug.. [02:24:46] its a test.. [02:24:47] a joke. [02:24:54] Tallboi planes [02:25:00] walkers never work out... [02:25:06] some point, I may fly out a truck, dock to it, drive it around [02:25:26] Cool. [02:25:54] Protip: Kerbal attachment system is a great mod for lifting things up to be docked [02:27:23] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ELXUJ0BN/2b188b71dc038ebc4af56e8cd74642b7.jpg [02:27:28] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/rhYyMByi/XC-120_front_view.jpg [02:27:36] tallbois [02:28:15] Action: BlackMoon slaps hood of aircraft [02:28:24] You can fit so much landing gear under here! [02:28:43] I'm considering KAS/KIS.. as well as the ground experiments package [02:28:59] HIGHLY recommend KAS/KIS [02:30:03] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/G1MnnXqs/342usaf21378+0245-0254+XB-36+42-13570+right+front+pan+l.jpg [02:30:11] the only downsides to KAS is.. the winches have some issues latching up back to 0, they ARE powerful enough to rip your ship to pieces... and sometimes the winch line flys around in annoying orbits, especially in space (but not entirely limited to) [02:30:14] bigboi tires [02:30:52] KAS is absolutely wonderful for landed fuel transfers though, I wouldn't attempt them with docking ports to be honest. [02:31:04] biggest boi tires [02:31:06] its basically you use the claw or you use KAS [02:31:25] because docking ports are WAYYYY too fussy, especially when you factor in changing mass of fully loaded/unloaded fuel [02:31:35] Plane I called the 'Pali'... think it translates to 'Bird'.. https://imgur.com/a/g1gm5At [02:31:36] https://i.imgur.com/nZuV6Lk.png [02:31:47] someone got carried away with tweakscale on those tires [02:32:11] Rokker lol [02:32:28] Rokker: brb taking my bomber offroading. [02:32:32] speaking of KAS... does the end of the winch line still do that 'anti gravity' thing when its loose? [02:32:53] BlackMoon: nah use these instead [02:32:55] or way like a small handful of dark matter? [02:33:02] way=weigh [02:33:24] arg... brain must be cross firing or something, bad typos more lately [02:34:05] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/cPxklb3h/nihkxtdsnsykj6pcd10o.webp [02:34:21] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/5BjpcTnf/980x.jpg [02:34:31] BlackMoon: see [02:34:34] much nicer [02:34:35] that is just wrong... -_- [02:34:43] 'To hunt the tanks.. you must first become a tank!' [02:34:58] I messed with KAS a while back... dropped a winch line down from a crane. The end would go down, but the connector would seem to bobble the wrong way, reverse of gravity. It also weight like stupid amount [02:35:12] hey now, the A-20 is just a halftrack [02:35:41] ya.. early versions were tracks.. [02:35:58] reason for big tires back those days, development hadn't evolved enough for high strength and pressure like they have now [02:36:57] article for ya: https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/wait-the-b-36-peacemaker-flew-with-tank-tracks-for-lan-1638780957 [02:37:16] blegh, foxtrot alpha [02:39:45] oh blegh.. japlopnik :P [02:39:54] Action: JVFoxy shrugs, eh well [02:39:57] yeah [02:40:22] still.. massive single tire... if that thing were to ever blow up on landing.. ouch [02:40:42] kiss your whole wing goodbye.. as well has half hte fusellage [02:40:43] nah, if you see it up close, that's a thickboi [02:41:28] would have to be.. 156lbs psi? [02:41:31] JVFoxy: speaking of which, guess what they have at muh museum [02:41:49] Rokker 'phat plane'? [02:41:49] you mean 156 psi [02:42:05] well phat plane and its experimental fat tires [02:42:08] er ya sorry... did say brain has been cross firing a lot. blame the heat [02:43:34] anyways, if its usaf history there is a chance its gonna be one of two places [02:43:56] the NMUSAF here in dayton or in washington dc at the NASM [02:44:50] ok so dropped the cabin off.. geez this thing wasn't to rocket now... 1/3 throttle, its already near mach 1. I haven't even gotten up past 3km [02:45:31] wasn't.. wants. arg X_X [02:47:36] 550m/s.. 6.5km up and still slowly climbing.. maybe it will make it back with the fuel [02:54:21] hahah I was thinking how bad the aerodyanmics on that cabic where [02:54:26] cabin [02:56:23] if you think that was the only error in that line... :p [02:57:12] https://i.imgur.com/lLJahLQ.png [02:58:35] I like how KSP properly crossfeeds between adjacent tanks now.. [02:58:53] I'm down to 360 fuel out of 1160.. plane without cabin is just a little over 8tons [02:59:15] cabin probably adds.. a ton or so more.. the extra weight probably didn't help matters either [02:59:28] Good news is KSP jets still have like 15X ISP because they take into account intake air [03:00:11] I already knew lifting cargo will have a good bit of cost to it [03:01:58] the bigger cargo bays can help you eliminate the drag cost (at the cost of more mass, of course) [03:02:25] I know.. didn't have research [03:02:37] ah. [03:02:44] I have a few designs I did in sandbox.. [03:02:52] one based off of BAE's regional jet [03:03:34] I have a few tech lines I still havent touched, because saving up for that sweet sweet antimatter reactor.. [03:04:27] i'm not sure i even ever built the 3rd research center upgrade [03:04:43] (even if the timberwind alone is insanely efficient and powerful. like 1000ISP/1100 thrust for 12 tons or something silly..) [03:04:55] (KSP-I mod) [03:05:10] well ok guess I don't have to worry about running out of fuel on the return trip... barely used 200 and flew a little over twice as fast [03:05:43] Nice [03:06:15] maybe consider holding the cabin with a decoupler or something instead, even if it still has a docking port, for the drag bonus [03:06:31] (stack decoupler that is) [03:16:40] single engine gives me a bit more capacity to add more things but not sure if it'll be enough power [03:18:53] well if you optimize the drag you won't need as much power. I mean think of how much faster you went, even though you only went from 9 tons to 8 tons [03:19:47] Stock KSP has some vaguely sensible aerodynamics these days. its not just 'however much the part weights = drag' [03:22:22] I might just use the single engine version for hauling smaller modules out... get the cabin out first, then a power pack with radio relay and solar panels next. [03:26:34] well... its flying at least. [03:29:53] Yea :) that is the trickyest part. [03:30:29] its about same speed but doens't want to fly as high as the twin engine version [03:30:55] then again, I've also added a few more parts to the 'cabin' part [03:39:51] Air intakes may very well be why it does not want to fly as high [03:42:03] well.. 6 km up.. but its doing a little less than 200m/s [03:42:24] dont' matter much.. it just means longer flight [03:44:40] Higher altitude is generally a lot more fuel efficient, since less drag. [03:44:58] as long as you have enough wing that your higher angle of attack does not cause more drag then you saved [03:45:47] Action: BlackMoon renames self clippy. "I see your trying to make an aircraft! let me annoy you with that. [03:45:56] I may have brought along too much fuel.. lol [03:46:17] never too much fuel! [03:46:32] maybe less drag but lower done engine works harder [03:46:47] higher up.. lower thrust... tradeoffs [03:46:58] if you ever find you have too much just drop the droptanks on some poor and homeless kerbals, they can use it to keep warm at night. [03:47:42] Yes, but you need less thrust because of drag. eventually you reach a point your going slower though, and that sucks. [03:49:50] trouble is finding that altitude, stable thrust, right pitch angle that gives lift but doesn't drag too much you start slowing down [03:50:25] Yep, you definitely got all the fine details down. [03:54:10] I tend to find with some mild intake spam, 20km is a good starting point. But without intake spam you are limited to a lot lower. [03:55:11] intake spam... used to be a big thing for a lot of people back in early days of ksp [03:55:37] I didn't bother myself [03:56:55] Yea, it looks pretty ugly, but still, 2 or 4 intakes per engine can be worked into designs to not look too horrible. [03:57:14] the radials are not too bad, though add a lot of drag. [03:57:43] oddly, less drag when facing backwards, though intake much less air... but you can spam a TON of them backwards and have less drag them having them forwards :P [03:57:54] the mass creeps up on you though hahah. [03:58:00] they make for good water pontoons [03:58:06] hahah. [03:58:28] nah what you do is make tiny hydroplane fins [03:58:56] Iv supported 200tons with just like 400kn, at 200m/s on hydroplane fins over the water. [03:59:23] like 4 or 8 of the smallest fins in the game [03:59:45] (though I usually use procedural wings for that, but still, tiny ones) [04:00:47] trick is getting the right pitch that you don't keep bouncing outta the water :) [04:01:21] with modified impact stats on the fins, iv gotten up to 1200m/s on the water with hydroplaning. [04:02:02] ouch [04:02:10] almost to the pole again... get some daylight here [04:02:47] 200m/s hydroplane is pretty doable with stock parts though. [04:05:10] Highly recommend trying it some day if you have a huge amount of mass you want to move over the ocean :) [04:05:56] Works very well with mechjeb to keep heading/stability/etc. [04:09:23] now that I'm in some daylight [04:09:24] https://imgur.com/a/geesGvd [04:09:24] https://i.imgur.com/FUmtL5x.jpg [04:10:36] Nice. see try a stack decoupler off the cockpit to hold it instead, and unclip the top engine, I bet it would have a LOT less drag. [04:10:49] just cause KSP thinks stacks = awesome, radial = bad [04:11:07] no room for more parts [04:11:12] you can even have the decoupler to the docking port, or just docking port to bare cockpit (you can still undock) [04:11:34] You have a front docking port, just mate that to the cockpit [04:11:48] 600 of 1120 fuel still unused.. near the pole [04:11:53] well the fuel tank [04:13:05] Anyway, just a thought to make it go faster/save a lot of fuel. seems like you don't really need it if you can reach the poles though :) [04:18:45] I guess I could have docked to the back of the tank but.. probably would have wanted the top port of moving around later.. I'm still testing things out [04:19:04] I might switch to end docking instead.. [04:19:23] though when I think about it, would cause problems if I were to add more cabins to the base.. [04:20:56] I ended up switching from the flat adapter plate to a small round battery for a step up to the door. battery was like 1/4th the weight, plus it could hold a charge [05:21:30] lol.. one of many eclipses... https://imgur.com/a/QytxmGg [05:21:30] https://i.imgur.com/XqdBBnu.jpg [05:30:59] still 1.5 hours until stream starts [05:34:35] launch? [05:34:46] take 2 [05:34:51] after last night's débâcle [05:37:10] um.. dare I ask what happened? [05:37:15] nothing [05:37:33] especially with the "updates" they gave us [05:39:01] they scrubbed the launch [05:39:09] and were extremely vague as to why [05:40:51] all we now a cat climbed the rocket [05:41:29] or onw of the operators had to go to the toilet [05:41:32] or snake [05:42:20] nobody would have cared for the snake [05:47:02] yesterday it was 19 years ago i have seen the total eclipse. so long ago [05:54:02] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZcM11982r8 [05:54:03] YouTube - KSP - "Eve Fall" - Green Harvest ep.1 [05:56:35] snake because I saw a picture of a giant one climbing up the side of someone's house [05:56:43] yes is saw that too [06:00:06] critters who got too close to launches... oh ya, don't mind the animated monster spider there: https://sploid.gizmodo.com/a-brief-history-of-animals-and-rocket-launches-not-gett-1301141640/1307400203 [06:00:21] hehe [06:00:26] looks like it is petting the shuttle [06:01:02] vulture that decided to fly over the shuttle as it launched, got hit [06:02:36] that frog though.. meme'd [06:02:45] yes the frog is meme [06:03:48] lol the woodpecker [06:04:32] well hey.. foam, next.. why not? [06:05:24] less than an hour [06:05:28] until stream starts [06:05:56] so.. fwoom, or boom? [06:08:48] which steam you going to watch? [06:09:15] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMDvPCGeE0 [06:09:15] YouTube - NASA Live: Official Stream of NASA TV [06:13:19] ... such a big fairing for little craft.. [06:13:36] it is just as wide as the rocket [06:13:39] cant go smaller [06:15:20] Hm, only 75 minutes until launch. [06:15:55] ;8ball coffee? [06:15:55] UmbralRaptor: Concentrate and ask again [06:16:03] hehe [06:16:10] well long fairing.. so much room up front [06:30:29] half an hour until stream start [06:38:42] ? [06:39:01] we want to see a rocket set itself on fire [06:52:03] NolanSyKinsley: NASA's launching a mission to the nearest star. [06:52:10] hehe [06:52:38] That's right, that's happening today [06:52:46] This is naturally the highest ”V launch ever. [06:52:47] just as it happened yesterday :) [06:53:19] what are we doing, brain? the same thing we do every day, pinky, try to send a probe to the nearest star [06:53:44] I got excited for a moment, then... "oh, right, it's only 150million km away" [06:53:52] hehe [06:54:04] taniwha: :D [06:54:14] :) [06:55:55] from setting rocket on fire to setting probe ablaze... [06:56:22] ... you think the heat waves were bad enough.. you seen nothing yet [06:56:23] Will the vehicle get close enough to the sun where it will experience drag? [06:56:25] and among other things it carries the names of famous kerbals :) [06:57:00] no but carbon disk will be floating around then sun till end of the solar system.. so they say [07:00:33] here we go again [07:01:22] lol that lag [07:01:45] all these people woke up this early twice in a row [07:01:51] are you just watching it on nasa.gov? [07:02:02] on yt [07:02:04] ... waking up early? uhhhh.... I not gone to sleep yet. midnight here [07:02:15] not you, the people on the launch site [07:02:21] heh [07:02:26] and i meant the lag between the sound and video [07:02:32] peh... right.. like how many even went to sleep even there.. :P [07:02:50] Aren't philadelphia and DC pretty near each other [07:03:58] How much does each scrub cost? [07:04:24] probably not much in itself, but the next unplanned launch cost is added [07:04:58] Althego: Wasted fuel + Personnel? [07:05:40] wasted fuel.. you mean the cyro fuels? [07:05:45] hat is not too much [07:06:23] JVFoxy: Cryo fuel, plus whatever gets vented off [07:06:43] well it gets vented off, but they can generate more... its actually renewable source, unlike the carbon based rocket fuels [07:07:12] there was some info on one of the falcon 9 launches that the closed airspace required resulted in delays in flights and that costed a lot, although it is not spacex that suffers that loss [07:07:13] for hydrogen [07:07:45] hydrogen and oxygen.. its just split water.. the resulting gas is just super chilled [07:07:57] !wa Philly to DC distance [07:08:02] I mean, or from natural gas [07:08:06] i doubt they are making it from water [07:08:27] 203 km [07:08:28] or even if they do, not with electricity [07:08:32] Wait what [07:08:47] Okay, they didn't break their numbers. [07:09:08] but, I imagine RP-1 is more of a pain [07:09:20] liquid hydrogen is pretty cool [07:09:24] (get what I did there) [07:09:24] hehe [07:09:25] RP1 isn't cryogenic [07:09:32] unless you are spacex [07:10:19] still 20 minutes [07:10:44] water is one source... [07:13:44] ;c 3.83e6*1609.344 [07:13:44] UmbralRaptor: 6163787520 [07:14:21] stupid miles? [07:14:28] yep [07:14:45] ;c 3.83e6*1609.344/1e9 [07:14:45] UmbralRaptor: 6.16378752 [07:14:54] too bad you can't commute to work on rockets [07:15:03] who said you cant [07:15:09] ;c 3.83e6*1609.344/1.4e9 [07:15:09] UmbralRaptor: 4.402705371428571 [07:16:15] ... well if super planes were a thing.. [07:16:44] this doctor has a strange voice [07:16:52] cartoon character [07:18:02] oh sorry.. ultraplanes.. rocket powered commercial airliners [07:18:05] 14 mins [07:20:01] so what is that flame in the lower left? [07:20:13] kiss the sun.. eew sun cooties [07:20:25] sun, the hottest girl in the town :) [07:20:37] flame or just excess gas.. [07:20:47] its so the tanks don't over pressure [07:21:13] on the rocket? that is usually just let go though a valve [07:21:24] Burning off venting hydrogen so that the rocket doesn't self-immolate on launch. [07:21:26] storage tanks probably [07:21:40] unless they actively chilling the gases.. it'll expand as it warms up [07:21:41] but it sets itself on fire because of hydrogen on launch [07:22:03] probably just looks like flame because of lighting [07:22:11] got a link for live? [07:22:17] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMDvPCGeE0 [07:22:17] YouTube - NASA Live: Official Stream of NASA TV [07:22:31] thanks [07:23:01] nice, moving back enough gives me captions [07:23:10] hehe the captions are as bad as ever [07:23:20] nah its way better nowdays [07:23:48] it is also delayed, but i guess that is because of the lvie [07:23:48] contextual its on dot most times. though sometimes it misses on unusual words [07:23:58] meco was mikko :) [07:24:14] mako.. [07:24:17] miku? [07:24:19] macko... [07:24:23] eh.. [07:24:32] singing engine ) [07:24:41] here we go [07:24:59] machinist videos theres often applise (cant spell) [07:25:03] funny [07:25:28] anomaly chief? [07:25:43] no people cheering when perforance is good [07:26:06] wtf is an Anomaly chief? [07:26:08] anomaly probably for things along the flight path.. [07:26:13] Althego: yes, exactly [07:26:33] Mean things, eccentric things, or true things? [07:26:37] it is like disaster management :) [07:26:56] dont manage it, we want to avoid it [07:27:30] or.. if something goes wrong, they the people that manage it, find a work around while they can [07:27:31] Action: Arynnia loads rocket.exe [07:27:33] ;looks like all go so far? [07:27:36] 4 mins [07:28:06] mm.. pins pulled, pyro's ready [07:28:12] Action: Arynnia terminates RapidUnplannedDisassembly.dll [07:28:23] holy hand grenade of antioch [07:28:32] 3 [07:29:07] maybe it is not fire just some plumes in red lighting [07:29:20] internal power... vs not to be taken internally...? [07:29:22] definely flame near start [07:29:30] rest of it maybe smoke in red light [07:29:31] 2 [07:30:29] 1 [07:30:36] woo. [07:30:40] 50 seconds [07:30:59] 30. [07:31:04] rwoar [07:31:14] where is the timer? [07:31:16] Here we go. [07:31:22] sparks! [07:31:36] to infinty we go! [07:31:43] Go, baby, go! [07:31:44] the fireball [07:31:57] holy flipping its fast on launch [07:31:59] lots power [07:32:06] Has to be [07:32:07] that's..a big fireball [07:32:07] lol.. hear those crickets in the background just as it was lifting off [07:32:13] it doesnt have much payload [07:32:35] why are they throttling down? [07:32:41] Saves fuel [07:32:44] Conserves more power in the core stage [07:32:49] because you want the center booster to last longer [07:33:01] yeah dont need to push though TV [07:33:05] and there's no cross-feed [07:33:05] wastes energy [07:33:09] but even spacex throttles down before max q [07:33:37] at least htey not 'nominal' 'nominal' 'nominal'... >.> [07:34:10] i wonder if reds rhetoric was there to film this [07:34:21] gonbna love seeing trail in back change with air density [07:34:24] don't need too much pressure on the front of the craft.. otherwise it would buckle [07:34:56] That lens flare [07:35:04] Done me a concern [07:35:05] wonder if shuttle used those boosters instead of SRBs... [07:35:21] probably would be worse off [07:35:30] those solid boosters havereally high thrust [07:35:34] shuttle is too large and heavy for most current jobs anyway [07:35:38] If the shuttle used liquid boosters, we'd still have the Challenger Seven with us. [07:35:39] bye bye boosters [07:35:49] they thought cargos would be larger than end result was [07:36:09] actually the military thought so. but then they didnt book flights on it [07:36:34] eh.. 30tons of stuff to LEO...? you'd be surprised [07:36:44] just matter of who's got the funds [07:37:15] I like spacex cameras everywhere appoch vs nasa just light in sky [07:37:26] yes spacex knows how to make a good show [07:37:37] they did say, light as possible.. [07:37:49] probably no cameras, and no permits [07:37:50] although the latest soyuz launch was quite good too. the upper stage camera captured the core stage tumbling away kerbal style [07:37:52] voyage to sun is hard enough [07:38:45] I tried to go to kerb star. dang its hard [07:38:58] It is [07:39:00] have to do it through jool ) [07:39:03] or ions [07:39:19] theres other way [07:39:24] eve flyby? [07:39:25] Having 9900 dV at launch is good enough if you just burn straight back along Kerbin orbit to get you within 1 Gm [07:39:26] go far outside system [07:39:35] ... the job of building the 3d model's for these one off space launches... mmm.. hope pays good [07:39:39] that far out you have oddles of leverage on changing orbit. [07:39:50] just do deorbit, then wait years [07:40:17] In fact, it'd be enough to get you within about 600 Mm [07:40:23] and you don't really need to go closer than 600 Mm [07:40:25] is the final stage solid? [07:40:30] Yes [07:40:31] It's a STAR [07:40:57] have to land on the sun (during the night) :) [07:41:10] reminds me of that awful joke [07:42:43] theyre using rcs firing to gain speed? [07:42:44] 13 minute coast [07:42:52] or maybe that is ullage [07:42:55] Rolf: No [07:42:56] but why now [07:42:58] It's ullage [07:43:03] whats ullage [07:43:09] Keeps the propellants from sloshing [07:43:09] it is a tiny bit of acceleration [07:43:13] to push fuel at the back [07:43:16] so that the engine can start [07:43:22] Althego: the PSP appears to be in a very low orbit [07:43:23] ahh ok [07:43:41] It's only at 111 miles apogee [07:43:58] isnt atomsphere 100miles for earth [07:44:09] its a tough call [07:44:19] atmosphere technically never ends [07:44:21] ^ [07:44:22] some spy sats did around 80 or less miles [07:44:24] it just blends into space [07:44:33] yeah im thinking about standard defintion of border [07:44:34] but usually above 600 km it can be though of as nonexistent [07:44:45] the kármán line is around 100 km [07:45:10] For our metric-minded friends, PSP has an apogee of 179.4 km [07:45:22] 179.6* [07:45:34] you need a good throwing arm to throw a psp that high :) [07:45:52] pointing down to boost speed [07:46:10] Raise perigee while suppressing raise in apogee [07:46:10] used that once a while, to really expand orbit on other side [07:46:16] it is parker himself [07:46:30] Whoa, dude is awake [07:46:33] he's 91 years old [07:46:46] 7 years until it gets there [07:46:55] long time to wait when you are that old [07:46:59] yeah [07:47:01] he'll probably never find out the results [07:47:17] :( [07:47:38] or maybe he'll make it [07:47:42] can only be hopeful [07:47:49] ^ [07:47:51] yeah best to just keep going and see [07:48:55] it is funny that all these decades of research was not enough to come up with an explanation for the corona temperature [07:49:52] .... gravity keeps particles in.. pressure cooker? [07:50:09] it keeps particles in even lower [07:50:21] maybe some electromagnetic effect [07:50:25] induction heater or something [07:50:30] more energetic you can make them, more likely chance they can fly free.. [07:50:56] https://i.imgur.com/ixoWeki.jpg [07:51:08] hehehe [07:51:13] resistance is futile [07:52:22] sun's surface.... riiiiight [07:52:27] which surface.. isn't it just gas? [07:52:33] plasma [07:52:50] well.. its all just stupid hot, burning stuff [07:52:51] "Whatever the Klingon designation, it is merely ionized gas." [07:53:02] hehe [07:53:10] by surface.. they thinking photosphere? [07:53:10] to be or not to be [07:53:22] i love that whole scene [07:53:27] 85F is hot [07:53:32] JVFoxy: probably [07:53:32] Target that explosion and fire. [07:53:50] from the point where they come up with the targeting mechanism, until the destruction of the ship [07:53:58] let her fly apart then :) [07:54:08] "She'll fly apart!" "FLY HER APART, THEN!" [07:54:13] christopher lloyd as klingon.... [07:54:41] The guy in the feed reminds me of Tom Yates from House of Cards [07:54:43] and the operation. we have a heartbeat [07:54:58] "Bones, where's my torpedo?" "Bet you wish you'd stood in bed." [07:55:05] Action: UmbralRaptor wonders who replaced Arynnia with Hikaru [07:55:34] Action: Arynnia snerk [07:56:41] Umbral, if I were to be replaced with anyone from the Star Trek universe, I'd be replaced with the Bruce Greenwood version of Christopher Pike. :P [07:56:53] doh, you're quoting lots of characters >_>;; [07:57:00] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XvYq8i6_9o [07:57:00] YouTube - Star Trek VI: Battle of Camp Khitomer [07:57:13] Well, doy :P [07:57:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:59:06] Althego: one thing I've always wondered is how Chang activated the Enterprise coms [07:59:46] ¯\_(Ä)_/¯ [08:00:12] hehe they mentioend captain kirk :) [08:00:33] At least we still have live whales. [08:00:39] some at least [08:01:46] One thing Star Trek needs to do [08:01:51] since we're in the habit of bringing back old captains now [08:01:59] they need to get George Takei to do Star Trek: Excelsior. :P [08:02:04] hehe [08:02:35] the original cast is now dying off. he is too old for a captain. at best an admiral [08:02:38] So, uh, is Discovery good? [08:02:58] Althego: shut up :s [08:03:06] UmbralRaptor: It's definitely interesting [08:03:10] I'm looking forward to season 2 [08:03:13] Action: UmbralRaptor has headcannoned AbramsTrek as mirror universe movies. [08:03:16] because they are bringing in Pike [08:04:06] hehe to me the abrams movies are fanon discontinuity [08:04:08] hm [08:04:36] because they discarded all the decades of star trek timeline [08:04:44] The Abrams movies are a consequence of TNG: "Parallels" [08:05:05] Worf screwed up the timeline. :P [08:05:21] hah [08:05:24] how?M [08:05:28] he wasnt even alive [08:05:36] https://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Parallels_(episode) [08:05:44] ah this [08:05:51] i liked this episode [08:05:56] It's a good one [08:06:23] Worf huh? [08:06:39] I remember when they were talking about two Datas.. something about him finding his own head or something [08:06:48] that wasnt this [08:07:01] but also a good double episode [08:07:27] Action: Arynnia beeps Althego to pm [08:08:31] that one stage.. long burn for such small tanks [08:09:38] Benefits of hilariously chilled fuels [08:10:33] Isp for the Isp god [08:10:58] ok... don't cut out dead here so far into the flight [08:11:14] Telemetry having a problem, it seems [08:11:28] Telemetry is the first thing that goes? [08:12:06] uh [08:12:12] long as they getting some data saying stuff... [08:12:13] Where's the probe? [08:12:42] meep [08:14:12] dude, where is my probe :9 [08:14:15] cutouts... means some data coming in... just not everything [08:14:27] cardboard cutouts :) [08:14:50] hope the booster didn't go tumbling [08:15:45] Stage 3 is providing some data [08:15:52] ya thankfully [08:16:31] not enough [08:16:39] hm I wonder if theres a way to insert whatever copy of nes rom I have into cardiage and play on real console [08:16:46] then wipe and replace with another game [08:16:50] Rolf: yes [08:17:07] oh, they seem happy [08:17:08] Something happened [08:17:38] Sargun: whats it called? so I can find [08:17:46] ok good so far [08:17:52] Sep confirmed [08:17:56] but is it on the right course? [08:18:30] happy crafty [08:18:31] provisional yay [08:20:02] I just hope that after 7 years, we dont find out we forgot camera for example, like probably all of us did on ksp lol [08:20:12] hehe [08:20:15] http://taniwha.org/~bill/P8106134.JPG [08:20:23] tno, we forget parachutes [08:20:25] ... white light sensor.. no camera [08:20:30] welp [08:20:32] solar probe is up [08:20:34] for now [08:21:21] Whoa [08:21:23] YT just lost the feed [08:21:33] There we go [08:21:49] down into the depths of hell.. correction.. hotter than hell [08:22:03] hell is actually not too hot [08:22:17] because it cant be hotter than the boiling point of sulfur [08:22:19] hell is too cold. it dont sustain fusion [08:22:36] 3million degress? [08:22:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:23:29] well... we did a lot worse down here... 3.6 billion degrees using z machine [08:23:34] Solar radiation at perihelion will be 589x that at 1 au. [08:25:08] lol.. imax projectors were used to simulate something for the probe.. [08:27:16] so, equilibrium temperature estimates: 278 K at 1 au, 1371 K at perihelion. [08:32:34] bit hot [08:36:19] Just a bit [08:36:30] probably need to take shirt off [08:36:46] only if you are in shadow :) [08:36:55] Incidentally, the photon pressure there should be about 3 mPa [08:37:01] indeed lol [08:37:19] Er, somewhat less. 2.76? [08:46:04] I'm starting an early delta-V map for Kerbal Star Systems [08:46:14] It's going to be a very loose map [08:48:03] a wild map on the loose [08:49:19] I always find it funny that stationary orbit and munar intercepts take more delta-V than a direct escape [08:50:04] But stationary orbit involves a circularization burn, which eats delta-V [08:50:12] and a munar intercept involves a parking orbit [08:51:35] Did the launch get scrubbed again? [08:51:40] no [08:51:45] Oh, cool [08:51:46] No, it launched [08:51:55] went fine [08:52:01] on time and everything [08:52:07] All systems nominal, or all systems kerbal? [08:52:14] roger that, nominal [08:52:30] It's a pretty exciting mission [08:54:07] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckRIkVvbIx0 [08:54:07] YouTube - Launch Of The Parker Solar Probe : ULA DeltaIV Rocket [09:00:43] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yc13fZTpr0 [09:00:43] YouTube - Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns N' Roses) - Luciana Zogbi & Gianfranco Casanova - Cover [09:00:55] Thanks for the link!

[09:08:48] hehe [09:08:53] camera drone [09:09:14] there was a probe a few eyars back that launched a smaller probe to make a selfie with it [09:09:16] Rocket drone [09:09:37] and there are the cubesats on the way to mars with insight [09:09:44] probably no pictures there [09:09:48] That was the one that tried to land on a comet, wasn't it? Rosetta? [09:10:38] and Philae [09:10:48] i think it was before that [09:11:56] An unusual approach was taken in 2010 by IKAROS, launched by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) it included two wireless cameras that were ejected out of the spacecraft for the sole purpose of taking "hand free" space selfies. [09:11:59] i remembered this [09:13:33] Ha, nice [09:14:06] i think there is an other such one is happening in a few years. maybe osiris rex? or some other comet thing [09:15:50] or maybe hayabusa2 [10:20:26] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [11:25:18] lol man [11:25:33] when you look at the payloads the delta iv heavy has lifted into orbit [11:25:38] then the mass of the solar probe [11:25:47] gives you a good idea how much energy it takes to get that close to the sun [11:26:49] up to 25,000kg into orbit [11:26:56] and the probe is 700kg [11:28:00] i would add the 3rd stage to the payload too [11:28:12] but probably even then it is light [11:29:42] thats a 25,000kg actual payload, including everything, into orbit [11:29:46] of earth i mean [11:30:09] " it will achieve a velocity of up to 200 km/s (120 mi/s)" [11:32:25] that doesn't sound right [11:33:08] why wouldnt it [11:33:20] when it passes closest to the sun, its going to be moving at a good pace [11:34:03] mercury is about 1/4th that [11:34:46] "Helios-B made its closest pass of the Sun at a record heliocentric speed of 70 kilometres per second " [11:35:47] yeah, so that's like 3 times the current record [11:38:59] he's back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fZHFpONkVg [11:38:59] YouTube - **AMAZING** BACKWARDS FLYING RC 4D AEROBATIC 'DELRO RAVEN' - MARKUS RUMMER WESTON PARK - 2018 [11:39:40] too much caps [12:17:12] I have to go to nearly the beginning of the CAD project of the plane to change the thrust angle [12:19:00] because conventionnal airplanes need to have the propeller pointing a bit to the right otherwise that causes a bunch of issues [12:32:06] why to the right? [12:32:38] because of the direction of the propeller rotation [12:33:22] no one can agree on exactly why but most peoples say it is because the propeller createds a swirling stream of air around the aircraft that then hits the tail and causes it to yaw to the left [12:33:48] so by having the propeller point to the right the effect cancels itself [12:34:25] not because of not having a counterrotating part? [12:34:29] Use twin props. [12:34:36] it is like blowing your own sail [12:34:41] doesnt really work [12:35:23] does the effect reverse if you spin the propeller ccw? [12:35:23] The roll is a different issue. [12:36:43] would need a mirrored set of propeller blades [12:37:18] yeah the effect is dependant on propeller rotation [12:37:30] if the prop spins the other way then you need to reverse the thrust angle [12:37:45] obviously? [12:38:03] why not just use screws and elongated holes and angle it a bit [12:38:11] I think contrarotating props have less of that issue because the second prop kinda corrects the rotating airflow but those mostly solve torque problems [12:38:44] Althego I did that on the old nose but then I also need to change the shape of the front of the aircraft [12:39:39] It solves rotational but still leaves some airflow going in a spiral along the fuselage since one propellor hits it after the first. [12:40:10] that's why I prefer airplanes witht he prop on the back [12:40:13] or ont he wings [12:41:32] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unabCiSSuBY [12:41:33] YouTube - Royal Space Force - Flight Sequence (720p) [12:44:59] hi [12:47:06] now that i linked that, have to link the launch too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l3yEGblTj8 [12:47:07] YouTube - RoyalSpaceForce - Invasion Scene HD (Spoiler) [12:47:34] if you lok carefully you can see that they in fact copied the saturn v launch footage [12:51:53] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/254984631512858634/478183824832987136/thrust_angle.jpg [13:15:46] that is a cucumber [13:16:23] hehe, based on the texture, it might be [13:16:57] also my 3d printed spinner survived all flight testing so far [13:19:41] so, optional adventure achievements generally seem to fall into 3 categories: 1) do X before you do Y (where Y would advance the story), 2) do stupid thing X 10 times (or do the right thing Y on the first try), 3) easter egg hunt (interact with pixels that aren't actually part of the game) [14:02:27] I love that feeling when KSP takes 5 minutes to boot b/c of all the mods you have installed XD [14:03:45] sometimes I can't even tell if my modded install will even start :) [15:27:54] occasionally after those 5 minutes i lost the urge to play the game at all [15:28:25] also, kinda bad to have the game crash on you [15:33:39] hmm, cross code will be 1.0 on 20th of september [15:37:20] i wonder what the story is, because i practically finished the game and all side quests qithout the story [15:37:30] but it was still so good that couldnt stop it [15:42:25] How do I tell KSP to focus back on my chip in Map mode ? [15:42:33] backspace [15:42:43] :( not working [15:43:08] then tab around until you come back to your ship :) [15:55:20] didn't work, only tabbed to each planet/moon.. though that was good enough [15:55:43] that is strange, normally after a while you get back to your ship [15:56:00] technically shift tab also work but that ignites your engiens too [16:21:54] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:57:45] I need to find out how to make my head in my CAD program [16:58:22] I guess use my highest zoom lens to remove all parallax and put stickers over my face where joints are and at known distacnes [16:59:07] scan it [16:59:23] I don't have a 3d scanner [16:59:26] I want to build one [16:59:32] there was that xbox thing [17:01:02] yeah but I don't have that [17:02:10] discontinued, must be cheap to come by [17:02:24] my methodis probably easier [17:02:41] because then I can import the photos in my cad program and use the dots as references [17:03:04] and I could use my 700mm lens [17:03:07] which is a telescope [17:28:25] Althego: Mouseover a menu and shift+tab won't trigger engines [17:28:48] or supposedly if you hide the navball [17:32:11] Can confirm dropping the navball works. unless 1.4.x broke it. [17:36:10] I found out... when switching between overview map in flight, to craft/staging view, it takes a moment before brake controls will activate. :\ [17:37:02] was using map view as I was rolling closer to the pole, brakes don't work there, had to switch over. Kept wondering why controls weren't responding at first when I tried hitting the brakes. [17:45:46] hi ther [17:45:48] Lock the brakes next time? :) [17:46:05] hah you managed to circumvent the bot reply [17:46:10] *there [17:46:16] hi ther [17:46:19] hi there [17:46:23] we get it [17:46:38] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDX7yVmQam8 [17:46:38] YouTube - WE GOT HIM ! [17:46:47] clearly we need a better bot [17:46:56] I'm sorry that might be a bit politically motivated [17:47:00] the video i just linked to [17:47:14] does anyone here use OPM Visual Effects [17:47:59] https://youtu.be/PTScNHvVbyc?t=40 [17:50:46] uhm, there's a song in my library with a playcount of 10, but i would swear i've never heard that before [17:51:28] Blackmoon eh.. I wanted to be rolling, was using map view so I could see the co-ordinates for how close to the pole I was.. I didn't want to be on it, just nearby. Sitting directly on top causes.. problems. [17:52:40] speaking of the pole.. because the planets don't have tilts, it basically in sunlight full-time I'm guessing [17:52:57] yeah, should be [17:52:57] and no atmospheric distortion either [17:53:23] hence the poles coming up in suggestions about solar powered bases [17:54:26] wondering if I should just do a fuel base [18:02:00] blinks at Guest35331 [18:02:19] JVFoxy: still want to be on a mountain if possible? [18:02:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:16:48] mountain.. why? [18:20:19] Eve? [18:21:05] also, yea kinda disappointed no planet tilts in KSP -_- [18:21:26] eve rss just simulates it somehow [18:28:46] Yo, may I ask anyone to check whether the download at https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows is indeed broken, or if it is just me? [18:30:38] 15.3 MB downloaded [18:30:52] strange because idont remember installing this, yet there is a usb connection [18:31:28] I get a plain text string of '{"actId":"698","downType":"","filePath":"/2015/02/","statPath":"/tech-doc/android/download/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip","fileName":"198a8abf-c7cf-48bc-80de-70f0b292192b.zip","dispName":"SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip","delYn":""}' [18:31:43] Any hints on what I need to do? [18:31:51] probably turn on js :) [18:32:18] also you could look at the url... [18:32:48] that contains actid [18:32:49] " /tech-doc/android/download/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip " putting that onto the end of somthing might work.. [18:32:49] JS is on for me [18:33:01] BlackMoon: I tried to, but with no success [18:33:09] https://developer.samsung.com/tech-doc/android/download/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip [18:33:22] Hmmm [18:33:29] All of them returned 404s (though in prettified form) [18:33:59] here http://warpology.com/x/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip [18:34:29] UmbralRaptop mountain..? [18:34:49] Ah k. [18:35:15] JVFoxy: to be certain that kerbol is above the horizon, especially if not at the exact pole. [18:35:29] not many mountains at the pole [18:35:37] Althego: Alrighty, thanks! What's warpology.com, though? [18:35:41] that is me [18:35:46] or at least i pay for it [18:35:57] and a friend of mine puts silly things on it [18:36:00] Oohh. [18:36:08] Thank you very much! :-) [18:39:15] don't have to be on the exact pole, just close to it [18:39:24] hehe this was still up there. i still find it hilarious http://warpology.com/x/bombform.jpg [18:40:39] Althego if it was computer generated voice.. would you say its disguised? [18:40:58] probably [18:41:42] ... pre-recorded though.. [18:41:56] that would mean its just a playback, can't really talk to them [18:41:57] not necessarily, can be text to speach [18:42:17] ya.. text-speech probably more disguising [18:42:25] or.. voice changers [18:42:55] though... text to speech don't really convey moods too well [18:43:15] unless they tell you to shut-up every time you try to say something [18:44:03] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD1sS10ge2o [18:44:03] YouTube - Thunderstruck on FLOPPOTRON [18:44:17] hah this is new [18:44:41] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:45:01] lol toilet seat [18:46:50] he really outdid himself in that one [18:47:41] another epic artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjOyl6zS-eU [18:47:42] YouTube - Take On Me - Otamatone Cover (Full Version) [19:55:58] OHHH NICE. [19:56:06] 950DV on mun surface.. on the poles.. [19:56:21] launch in JUST the right orbit that my remaining 427DV is enough to get home :0 [19:57:49] actually managed to get the return down a little further.. 275dv to return. [19:58:43] but yea that is like the first time I have ever gotten a decent low DV return from polar orbit [20:00:19] I've a rescue mission on older game sitting around 45deg latitude on the mun. A touch.. nervous going through with the mission plan [20:00:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:02:50] dang it... bell in video makes me think message here from someone c.c; [20:03:17] Yea, got to bring lots of extra DV for that return. [20:04:09] protip: raise your AP, do an inclination change back to 0 at AP. Much easier returns... [20:05:03] I have a fuel station already placed in medium mun orbit with an add-on tank for the lander [20:05:22] https://i.imgur.com/r1B4ZHt.jpg Two more rescuees [20:05:48] nice. I was already thinking about how id have to send a fuel tanker in to refuel that ship to get home lol. [20:09:52] And already sending another lander to the mun, even though the last one has not even left mun SOI [20:10:07] Kerbal alarm clock FTW. [20:26:06] well.. plane flew ok with 1.5 tons.. wonder if a 4.5 ton cargo of fuel is also doable [20:30:12] if i'm short on fuel on returning from minimus, i use a mun encounter [21:18:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:37:31] well... 4.5 ton load to pole.. took a bit getting up there... screaming fast ride back. still 270 fuel left over from the test haul. weee [21:38:04] leaving just a tank up there though, game considers it debris.. as opposed to crew cabin, just calls it 'ship'.. I'll have to record something later. ;) [23:48:03] Hmmm, I want some nicer Command Bridges for my interplanetary craft [23:48:10] The basic Mk2 Cockpit isn't satisfactory any longer [23:48:31] cupola? [23:48:34] Prakasa Aeroworks has some nice pods, but many of them have questionable texturing and lack the "Lights On" emissive feature for their windows, which I would very much like to have [23:48:52] Stock cupola is far too small [23:49:16] or a full-fledged star trek-like bridge for 20 crew? [23:49:24] that would be nice [23:49:30] any recommendations for "cool command pod" mods? [23:49:39] sorry, no
