[03:54:08] <Althego> 20 hours until electron (or not, they usually have delays)

[05:18:11] <UmbralRaptor> "After a six year orbit through the Solar System, the probe officially began its descent at a relative velocity of 47.4 km s−1 on December 7, 1995. 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] <UmbralRaptor> 300 MW/m² is equivalent to a blackbody at 8529 K

[16:27:05] <Althego> oh now, regression on the marble machine
[16:27:10] <Althego> -w
[16:27:19] <Deddly> Regression?
[16:27:43] <Althego> 3 steps back
[16:28:26] <Deddly> What happened?
[16:28:38] <Althego> watch the video
[16:28:48] <Deddly> I can't, I'm working :P
[16:29:38] <Althego> martin decided to make it better, so scrapped some previously finishedp arts
[16:29:58] <Deddly> Huh, interesting
[16:30:17] <Althego> it was already starting to take shape
[16:30:25] <Deddly> How far is he from finishing that?
[16:30:46] <Althego> with this kind of progress, can be years
[16:31:48] <Deddly> Wow. Gotta admire the guy's stickability
[16:32:45] <Althego> realistically it was almost finished
[16:32:52] <Althego> maybe in a few months it could have been used
[16:33:24] <Deddly> Wut... D:
[16:33:40] <packbart> that would have been boring ;)
[16:33:42] <Deddly> He just set the project back by YEARS when it was nearly done?
[16:33:55] <Althego> not years by this step alone
[16:33:58] <Althego> maybe a few more months
[16:34:16] <Althego> 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] <packbart> 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] <Deddly> 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] <Althego> supposedly a new modulin is in the works too
[16:38:02] <packbart> 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...

[16:43:30] <kmath> YouTube - ExoMars progress update
[16:43:43] <Althego> successful deploy of t go. hmm. they forgot about the lander that failed :)
[18:18:30] <Althego> electron in 5 hours 40 minutes

[18:54:25] <Deddly> Yeah I saw that earlier. It's one of his better videos
[19:00:09] <sandbox> moar boosters
[19:30:45] <UmbralRaptop> (1.8 is out) 
[19:31:29] <packbart> heh, I just closed KSP. Time for an update
[19:32:07] <Althego> heh
[19:32:22] <Althego> i wanted to go to bed
[19:32:42] <packbart> You'd dream of boosters
[19:32:53] <Althego> https://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com/
[19:37:52] <Althego> hehe shrimp and mite solid boosters
[19:38:19] <Deddly> They are awesome. Just what I always felt the Flea should have been
[19:38:31] <Althego> also  the much needed huge ones
[19:38:39] <Deddly> Indeed
[19:38:47] <Deddly> With gimballing

[21:06:03] <packbart> "this image contains mods" - ooh, Community Loading Screens
[21:06:11] Action: packbart finally gets around to start up 1.8
[21:44:28] <packbart> oh dear, the Unity update breaks a lot of mod releases. well, they'll get updated, I hope
[21:45:15] <packbart> C# is such an agile language. my Mono installation is too old and can't compile the Kerbalism source code
[23:02:16] <packbart> Did You Know: The Clydesdale booster can launch straight up to Kerbin escape in a single burn
[23:05:52] <darsie> No. I did this with a mammoth, though.
[23:24:11] <darsie> My mouse wheel works inverted in 1.8. How can I revert that?
[23:25:28] <packbart> yep, same for me
[23:25:42] <packbart> I didn't think of checking the settings
[23:55:26] <darsie> Space doesn't stage for me.
[23:55:59] <UmbralRaptop> Does this mean that there will be a 1.8.1?
