[09:51:20] <Mat2ch> 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] <Althego> where do you see what is coming out? [09:51:59] <Althego> i tried to find it, but didnt see anything leaking in the video [09:52:07] <Althego> just the endless white vapor [09:52:12] <Mat2ch> https://youtu.be/gUAj7UdDqfI?t=53 [09:52:50] <Althego> ah this is new [09:53:11] <Althego> i looked in the long one [09:53:18] <Mat2ch> could be just hydraulics fluid which looks like it is burning, because it's backlit from all the spotlights [09:54:02] <Althego> that burst disk saved the ship [09:55:21] <Mat2ch> jup [09:55:29] <Mat2ch> always good to have something as backup [09:55:41] <Althego> except when it is heavy :9 [09:55:44] <Mat2ch> well, it would've probably only split the nose, but still... [09:55:59] <Mat2ch> so, no flight next week, I assume [09:56:15] <Mat2ch> they're going to do some figuring out, then maybe next tuesday another test [09:58:11] <Althego> also need to replace the engine and do a static fire [09:58:20] <Althego> which may result in the same thing :) [09:58:32] <Althego> so if they think they can reasonably prevent this [09:58:42] <Althego> in this prototype [09:59:11] <Althego> they can have a flight quite soon, since the redesign and fix can probably take months [09:59:25] <Althego> so not happening in any of the already built starships [10:00:08] <Mat2ch> 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] <Althego> the issue here that it could have a total loss [10:01:27] <Althego> 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] <Althego> but it is friday :) [10:12:52] <Mat2ch> Friday the 13th! [10:15:14] <flayer> when are they launching to the ISS? [10:15:37] <Mat2ch> Saturday [10:15:38] <Althego> in 1 day 14 hours and 33 minutes [10:15:49] <Althego> sunday for us nfortunately [10:16:18] <Althego> in eu [11:39:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:12:15] <packbart> 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] <Azander> packbart: we can test that. [14:44:29] <Azander> My nick, is also the one I use on the forums [14:46:29] <Azander> By default, it looks like messages only send you an email no popup. you would have to turn tha ton.
