[04:48:03] heh [04:50:55] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H-hvTnj9EA [05:03:36] o_O [05:03:48] ...when I saw that paper on arxiv, I mistook it for being entirely about instrumentation [05:09:04] huh, Nature has it as open access https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21176-6 [05:09:26] not sure that it is a planet [05:09:47] these direct imaging methods are mind blownig [05:11:24] Modern coronagraphs are dark magic [05:13:53] ...we are doomed, right? [05:14:04] why? [05:14:07] Russia? of course [05:14:25] you will succumb to the evils of your nuclear energy [05:14:46] well, planets around a Centauri [05:14:50] Action: raptop throws an akula at umaxtu [05:15:08] Action: umaxtu doesn't hear it [05:15:19] i hope it is not populated [05:15:44] Also, it's vaguely confusing that NATO and Russia use that name for two entirely different classes of submarine [05:16:05] hehe [05:16:10] humans [05:16:20] cant do anything right [05:16:58] its not NATOs fault the USSR didn't tell them what the name of their top secret SSBN class was called [05:17:36] heh [05:23:10] ...oh, right. Nature Communications is supposed to be fast to publish and OA [05:23:18] (compare with arχiv?) [05:23:33] That also explains why this doesn't look like a Nature Paper(tm) [05:26:47] now finally i got to the event horizon video [05:47:01] hehe, elon told the designers to make starship more pointy because of the movie dictator [05:47:10] so they did [08:26:44] is the eva experiments kit per biome or just per situation? [08:33:33] seems to be per body situation. so landed in space low high. maybe it does something in water too [09:57:20] Hihi https://twitter.com/loicsuberville/status/1358412839510237184 [09:58:08] hehe [10:00:08] so monday is static fire or what? [10:00:41] hehe starlink 19 is moved to monday now, but still before 17 since that is on tuesday now [10:12:00] Althego: no road closures scheduled yet [13:59:50] 3 out of 17 eva in space above on mun remains [14:00:42] maybe i should land first from this polar orbit. it would need to burn a lot to reach the remaining ones, or wait for long. but then i still would need to reach the twin craters [14:00:49] those are a bit south [14:15:18] major earthquake in northern japan 3 minutes ago? [14:15:58] https://www.jma.go.jp/jp/quake/ looks pretty bad [14:16:38] cant read moon runes [14:16:51] strangely i visited one link already :) [14:17:02] https://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/ runeless version [14:18:41] now I know that using an empty 3d printer filament spool as a laptop riser is dumb [14:19:13] it looks like they are going to be fine. with that level everything would collapse here, but they are accustomed to this [14:19:20] at least I was sitting right in front of it when it happened, otherwise it might have fallen [14:20:28] M7.1, no harmful tsunami expected https://twitter.com/UN_NERV/status/1360592853290741770 [14:22:35] it seems that as a result of the quake the twitter trend algorithm went down [14:23:33] I can still see my timeline but the trending page is overwhelmed by half the country checking the news at the same time [14:33:41] oh i forgot i have a contract to collect some moon rocks [14:49:20] hmm, possibly twhat is near by ios the east crater [14:49:24] i think i can go there [14:49:44] I always cheat and turn of scatter [14:50:49] hehe the tanks saved me from toppling the second time [14:51:23] i hoped that the side tanks would work as such [15:17:16] and i got the mun stone [15:17:51] something like 1800 m/s remaining. that should be enough the fly over the 3 remaining biomes [15:18:00] and to get home with non hohmann speed [15:22:53] and it is only the beginning of day 3 [15:23:07] with a bit of a work i could get 3 science instruments [15:23:14] that would collect me more science [15:33:54] if the static fire doesnt happen on monday, they cant launch until friday because of the weather. tuesday looks kind of ok [21:08:23] *** [22:16:00] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
