[09:35:29] some space games are cheaper on gog now [09:36:01] including no man's sky, ksp, x, etc [09:37:39] Which ones are good? [09:38:30] i leave that as an exercise for the reader [09:41:14] but at least i finished horizn zero dawn [10:50:52] raptop: well, I can at least imagine that. But I don't have the destruction of humanity on my mind [10:51:40] darsie: if you want to get lost in infinity then No Man's Sky [10:52:44] and oh boy I would like to get lost there. But I always fear that I wont find my way back. [13:18:25] Eyyy it's a raptop [14:25:39] \o [14:26:10] darsie: I've heard good things about KSP [14:26:14] Maybe a Virgin Galactic flight today [14:26:20] but no live coverage [14:26:29] UmbralRaptop: :) [18:10:40] it was aborted [18:11:09] spaceplane released buy a very short engine burst [18:11:34] https://youtu.be/6UqTvJl3N3M?t=4972 [19:28:54] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:00:42] elon was not talkative in the last few days. for example about the sn9 issue [20:03:31] insight also hasnt done anything with the mole lately [20:03:41] supposedly in january [20:12:08] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:25:30] mole? [20:25:51] the self hammering metal rod that usually jumps out of the hole it made [20:44:57] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyfjwXo9hjk [20:45:07] whats happening [20:45:44] sn9 saw what happened to sn9, so decided to try to get out of the launch by self harm [20:45:50] happened to sn8 [20:45:57] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:46:12] inside the bay it just fell over and hit the wall [20:46:22] oops [20:46:24] i saw at least one fin was damaged [20:54:04] these starships are basically thin metal pressure vessels with nothing inside, so i would be afraid of pressurization after a damage [20:55:37] yeah, even a dent can cause an explosion [20:55:44] i don't see this one being salvaged [20:55:54] it was already finished [20:56:15] and now its as good as scrap [20:56:32] why did it fall over though? [20:56:40] that is the interesting question [21:39:33] uhm [21:39:49] the dent would pop out very early in the pressuring process [22:22:53] depends on what force vectors to expect [22:23:10] that'll buff out but it probably won't be longitudinally stable [22:24:06] weird word. did I mean axially? [22:27:12] I don't think that there is major damage on it [22:27:29] Localised dent would be fine [22:27:30] they will repair and pressure test it [22:27:51] If there's a buckle around a significant part of the circumference that would be bad [22:30:13] it might be quicker to scrap it and move SN10 up in the queue [22:30:49] they'll need one for the archives, anyway [22:31:07] quicker than installing new flaps and pressure test it?! [22:31:31] maybe [22:31:31] We are talking about a veeeeeeery slow falling here, which was soon stopped by the high bay walls [22:31:56] if there would've been significant force behind it you would see the high bay bent. [22:32:34] The upper winglet probably crumbled and absorbed a lot of the force, too [22:33:11] so it's just not standing upright. This thing has to take a much harder beating, when coming down through the atmosphere...
