During a 30 s period, the probe decelerated from Mach 50 to under Mach 1, having reached a maximum deceleration of 250 g, while experiencing peak heating rates exceeding1,2 300 MW m−2. The extreme heating environment experienced by the probe during its descent remains, unti [05:19:23] 300 MW/m² is equivalent to a blackbody at 8529 K [11:30:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:50:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:27:05] oh now, regression on the marble machine [16:27:10] -w [16:27:19] Regression? [16:27:43] 3 steps back [16:28:26] What happened? [16:28:38] watch the video [16:28:48] I can't, I'm working :P [16:29:38] martin decided to make it better, so scrapped some previously finishedp arts [16:29:58] Huh, interesting [16:30:17] it was already starting to take shape [16:30:25] How far is he from finishing that? [16:30:46] with this kind of progress, can be years [16:31:48] Wow. Gotta admire the guy's stickability [16:32:45] realistically it was almost finished [16:32:52] maybe in a few months it could have been used [16:33:24] Wut... D: [16:33:40] that would have been boring ;) [16:33:42] He just set the project back by YEARS when it was nearly done? [16:33:55] not years by this step alone [16:33:58] maybe a few more months [16:34:16] but if he decides any time it is not perfect and it is time to redo it, then it will never be finished [16:35:02] and well, if you can already see parts that can be made better, who could resist if there's no artificial deadline to meet? [16:35:15] Well, he did complete a lot of other projects. The question is, how much more awesome will the extra work make the machine? Is the tradeoff worth it? [16:36:16] supposedly a new modulin is in the works too [16:38:02] otoh, I probably spend too much time designing stations in the VAB, contemplating escape routes no Kerbal will ever take or where the shrapnel from a blown out airlock would hit...

It's one of his better videos [19:00:09] moar boosters [19:30:45] (1.8 is out) [19:31:29] heh, I just closed KSP. Time for an update [19:32:07] heh [19:32:22] i wanted to go to bed [19:32:42] You'd dream of boosters [19:32:53] https://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com/ [19:37:52] hehe shrimp and mite solid boosters [19:38:19] They are awesome. Just what I always felt the Flea should have been [19:38:31] also the much needed huge ones [19:38:39] Indeed [19:38:47] With gimballing [20:10:45] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:53:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:59:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:06:03] "this image contains mods" - ooh, Community Loading Screens [21:06:11] Action: packbart finally gets around to start up 1.8 [21:44:28] oh dear, the Unity update breaks a lot of mod releases. well, they'll get updated, I hope [21:45:15] C# is such an agile language. my Mono installation is too old and can't compile the Kerbalism source code [23:02:16] Did You Know: The Clydesdale booster can launch straight up to Kerbin escape in a single burn [23:05:52] No. I did this with a mammoth, though. [23:24:11] My mouse wheel works inverted in 1.8. How can I revert that? [23:25:28] yep, same for me [23:25:42] I didn't think of checking the settings [23:55:26] Space doesn't stage for me. [23:55:59] Does this mean that there will be a 1.8.1?
