[09:51:20] but I wonder where the heat for that came from. The engine fired for a second, what gets so hot? Or does the preburner run much longer? [09:51:43] where do you see what is coming out? [09:51:59] i tried to find it, but didnt see anything leaking in the video [09:52:07] just the endless white vapor [09:52:12] https://youtu.be/gUAj7UdDqfI?t=53 [09:52:50] ah this is new [09:53:11] i looked in the long one [09:53:18] could be just hydraulics fluid which looks like it is burning, because it's backlit from all the spotlights [09:54:02] that burst disk saved the ship [09:55:21] jup [09:55:29] always good to have something as backup [09:55:41] except when it is heavy :9 [09:55:44] well, it would've probably only split the nose, but still... [09:55:59] so, no flight next week, I assume [09:56:15] they're going to do some figuring out, then maybe next tuesday another test [09:58:11] also need to replace the engine and do a static fire [09:58:20] which may result in the same thing :) [09:58:32] so if they think they can reasonably prevent this [09:58:42] in this prototype [09:59:11] they can have a flight quite soon, since the redesign and fix can probably take months [09:59:25] so not happening in any of the already built starships [10:00:08] We have to wait until they figure out what happend. Is it a design error in the engines itself? Or does just a line need more shilding? (Easy fix) [10:00:28] the issue here that it could have a total loss [10:01:27] so if it is caused by the engine, of course there must be an engine fix, but even if the engine fails it shouldnt propagate the failure [10:03:09] but it is friday :) [10:12:52] Friday the 13th! [10:15:14] when are they launching to the ISS? [10:15:37] Saturday [10:15:38] in 1 day 14 hours and 33 minutes [10:15:49] sunday for us nfortunately [10:16:18] in eu [11:39:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:12:15] the "message" feature on the forum doesn't give any notifications, does it? I found a very old message to me that I had never seen. In the other direction St4rdust also didn't read my message from last month, yet ;/ [14:44:13] packbart: we can test that. [14:44:29] My nick, is also the one I use on the forums [14:46:29] By default, it looks like messages only send you an email no popup. you would have to turn tha ton. [14:48:01] ah. maybe I should change the address to one that I actually read :) I use a temporary mail service for the forum address [14:48:39] Action: minas_tirith howls [14:50:46] hm. it's probably a good idea to change it, anyway. anyone who knows what @yopmail.com address I use could probably take over my account [16:19:32] https://twitter.com/RocketLab/status/1326986821905969152 [16:19:50] https://twitter.com/RocketLab/status/1327009847909392384 [16:20:32] https://twitter.com/RocketLab/status/1326616389780529152 [16:20:49] lol these drawings [16:21:20] https://twitter.com/Peter_J_Beck/status/1326350885505495040 [18:35:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:13:49] !nela [19:13:51] Althego => Atlas V - NROL-101 - Fri Nov 13, 2020 22:13:00 UTC (L-02:58:48) - https://rocketlaunch.live/launch/nrol-101 for info/stream [19:14:01] about 3 hours remaining [19:22:38] hah a what about it [19:41:10] meanwhile elon is in covid superposition [20:42:42] hehe already delayed by 10 minutes [21:47:38] hi [21:47:47] test [21:47:48] hi [21:47:49] \o [21:48:00] shut, bot [21:48:03] unit test sucessfully passed? [21:48:38] ok [21:49:17] Anyway, the answer is not always more boosters, despite the development histories of the Titan and Delta families [21:50:50] no [21:50:59] more boosters [21:52:30] Action: raptop also ignores that STS was mostly SRB by mass [21:54:19] stream live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZyjzR96EJU Nov. 13 Live Broadcast: Atlas V NROL-101 [21:54:34] Last message repeated 1 time(s).
