[12:02:49] I just installed Interstellar Extended, this feels like a rabbit hole [12:22:12] dark and suffocating? :) [12:23:40] eh, my e-3a miniature fell down from the top of the speakers and broke [12:28:44] Althego you collect plane minatures? [12:29:03] no [12:29:34] oh.. E-3A being what then? [12:29:37] i got this from a coworker when i left the previous company. we worked on several sims together, one was the e-3a [12:29:55] so i dont collect them, but i still got one [12:32:49] oh. so is the plane [12:33:04] lol.. sorry, stupid wording I guess [12:34:24] a bit of an aviation head myself.. since I was little. Not really big on the fighters though. [13:13:07] at least geilenkirchen had good food [13:16:11] and there was a crew you could work with [13:16:31] also friendly instructors [13:16:33] Well, Geilenkirchen is a pretty funny name, too. :D [13:18:21] you couldnt sleep in on a sunday for sure. there were like 3 different bells playing for a long time [13:19:29] hehe there is a base guide https://www.military.com/base-guide/geilenkirchen-nato-air-base/contact/rotodome-dining-facility/14121 [14:23:47] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:00:55] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NMRn-2h8X8 [16:00:55] YouTube - SN7 Test Tank Pressure Testing LIVE From Boca Chica [16:01:01] Hopefully it blows! ;) [16:01:14] Boom today? [16:01:28] one way or other [16:01:41] there should be a chinese launch in maybe half a day [16:01:55] 10 hours 9 minutes [16:02:19] so this is the new steel right? [16:02:55] also there is no stack anymore so we lost the indicator [16:16:18] can that tank be considered a cylinder? if not, i cant watch this, because watching not cylinders is not my hobby :) [16:46:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:57:56] well, in some weird dimension it might be a cylinder [16:58:14] and now they're heavily tanking it [16:58:26] will we see a boom soon? [17:00:29] wher iz dat channel log eh? [17:01:08] Ooh it's a diddy one [17:02:20] GOG sale seems to be over? [17:04:09] with the summer sale the game is back to 40 eur [17:04:20] with the summer sale ending [17:04:59] I can't see anything about a sale there, though [17:05:12] there was a huge countdown for a summer sale [17:05:17] and it is over now [17:05:43] OK, then I guess we can take that out of the topic [17:05:43] ksp was one game that was discounted during it [17:07:11] SN7 is only for pressure testing, or will it fly? (deliberately) [17:07:17] it is just a tank [17:07:44] which is a blend between a sphere and a cylinder, so i am jsut running this in the background [17:08:08] So is this supposed to be a part of SN7 or is this actually SN7? [17:08:21] a part [17:08:31] Ah, alrighty then [17:09:08] It's just a test tank [17:09:17] it's one ring short for being a usable tank for anything else [17:09:24] they probably test until it blows [17:09:55] it's a new steel, 304L iirc [17:09:59] L stands for low caron [17:10:04] *carbon [17:10:27] but wasnt the change because it can be welded better? [17:13:41] Yes, they changed to the low carbon version, because it gives cleaner welds, [17:14:04] and this tank is welded by robots with 304L stainless steel [17:14:09] it's the first test [17:15:23] and it looks like it's 3/4 full [17:16:08] ah you can r eally see it [17:16:17] usually it was only visible during the night [17:16:30] so this is already cryo test [17:17:06] Nitrogen [17:17:15] So they probably tested it with water first [17:20:29] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QbM7Vsz3kg better angle... [17:21:22] Oh that's far more detailed [17:21:25] hehe i must have clicked the wrong one, because i tried one of these streams but it was behind too much atmosphere [17:27:55] what is that thing on the top? [17:28:41] Release valve [17:33:46] you dont need a release valve if you want to make it blow [17:34:23] so if the final design is with pure steel, arent they worried about evaporation? [17:35:04] They might want to test the release valve, and then close the release valve :P [17:36:36] I think Elon Must addressed the evaporation question. If I remember correctly, boil-off is only a problem with the tanks are fully pressurised. Not a great deal of propellant is lost on the long journey between Earth and Mars. I could be remembering wrong [17:36:46] Heh. Elon Must [17:36:58] hehe [17:37:15] say what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J3OV27w-6M [17:37:15] YouTube - MOON & MARS STARSHIP Update, New NASA Boss Of Human Spaceflight, JWST Delayed Once Again! [17:37:27] elon backs 2022 mars launch? [17:37:40] also you could bring a refrigerator. [17:38:00] that is ludicrous speed [17:38:29] ok, out of the 3 playing youtube tabs, i have to mute at least one to listen to what they say [17:38:42] 2022? Unmanned, possibly, aspirationally [17:38:52] obviously [17:39:06] would be funny i elon goes to mars before nasa to the moon [17:40:00] SpaceX have a moon variant in development too, right? [17:40:22] i am afraid the changes will be bigger than they thought [17:40:28] like with falcon heavy [17:40:56] 2022 is elon time [17:41:25] Elon Time is a valid concept. However, he did deliver Model 3 and Y on time [17:43:08] Oh. There are 3 camera angles on that stream [17:43:44] one is usually 90 deg off from the nasaspaceflight one [17:43:46] Venting :) [17:44:12] I didn't know you could have multiple camera angles on a single stream [17:45:12] Needle Cam and Lab Cam are from the same angle though, I think [18:34:46] Frost climbing up the nose [18:35:05] Or receding? [18:39:32] is his some kind of endurance test? [18:45:47] possibly [18:45:51] and then the bang [18:49:18] metals are doing way worse against fatigue [19:01:55] it is almost full now [19:13:56] hehe so when does spacex start launching starlink for mars? :) [19:16:09] Serious answer: check for nasa awarding a contrat for communications on mars? [19:21:06] test tank half full kind of crowd [19:22:23] *contract [19:22:32] Action: raptop isn't sure what a conrat would be [19:24:21] 3 spellings in 3 lines :) [19:25:16] I would like to speak to this language's manager [19:56:46] still no boom :( [19:57:40] that's no boom, it's a starship tank :) [19:57:54] No boom today. Boom tomorrow. Always boom tomorrow. [19:57:56] Boom! [19:58:20] as i said, the chinese may still have a boom in a few hours [19:58:23] backup boom [19:58:48] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjLJR3L3vwQ [19:58:49] YouTube - [直播]北斗卫星定位系统最后一颗卫星发射 [Live]BeiDou NSS‘s Last Satellite Mission [19:58:53] i dont bvelieve it, there is a stream [19:59:22] probably a mobile building [20:01:26] oh no a pbs space time video too [20:20:53] so we do expect a pop today [20:20:59] pop that soda can [20:23:52] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1272624859705565184 [20:23:53] <✔elonmusk> @SciGuySpace That’s the goal. There a few known weak points on this test tank, probably capable of more pressure. T… https://t.co/xme3hilQTA [20:24:35] oh yes, we still didnt get too many shiny surfaces. it would be nice if all this metal were stock https://twitter.com/KerbalSpaceP/status/1272598689924571137 [20:24:36] <✔KerbalSpaceP> Nuclear Ring Transport System WASP MICRO SSTO's ⏎ ⏎ Crafted by u/ThatsKev4u ⏎ https://t.co/BJOFmqMh6E https://t.co/Et7eUu9H6m [20:50:12] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:00:34] smoething might have happened [21:01:47] but it doesnt look damaged [21:02:17] she's gonna blow, Captn [21:02:19] yes, it is probably a crack [21:03:48] i wonder if they have to wait for all that nitrogen toevaporate [21:06:18] hehe the other viewpoint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDiD965A_s [21:06:18] YouTube - LIVE STARSHIP ZOOM CAM - SpaceX Boca Chica Starship Testing Live 24/7 [21:06:18] from the Sapphire Cam, it seems to vent just from the top [21:06:30] it seems it is almost completely fine [21:07:10] or the valve [21:07:25] it looks like it's coming from one of the valves at the top [21:07:28] it's going sideways [21:08:17] this may be the final wait before the real pop [21:09:12] that's totally possible [21:10:55] Encore!
