[06:43:39] <Althego> hehe musk strikes back, cnn feels the burn [06:45:59] <JVFoxy> uh oh..? [06:50:48] <Althego> it is somewhat politics, but he said something like surprised that the network still exists [06:51:32] <Althego> after they basically lied about him [07:06:39] <JVFoxy> network.. as in CNN themselves? [07:06:50] <Althego> yes [07:07:11] <JVFoxy> I guess if your too busy with other things, don't have the time to spend on news or other things [07:09:51] <JVFoxy> granted... I haven't watched much actual TV these days myself. Too much youtube, trying to keep social so depression doesn't get the better of me :\ [09:25:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:45:07] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:11:05] <flayer> first i play civilization for a science victory [15:11:32] <flayer> then i play ksp career all the way to building an outpost on laythe [15:11:44] <flayer> then i play stellaris to run a space empire [15:12:20] <darsie> Is that a plan? [15:12:36] <flayer> that has been happening over the past 3 years or so [15:12:41] <darsie> ic [15:12:45] <Althego> then you go to spacex to build martian colonies [15:12:53] <darsie> So not everything happens in the present. [15:13:22] <flayer> my grammar is as loose as my life planning [16:28:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:49:17] <Mat2ch> well, looks like we will see a Crew Dragon launch on 27th May [16:49:34] <Althego> everything considered it is sooner than i expected [16:49:52] <Mat2ch> well [16:49:57] <Althego> it was a real possibility that it slips to june [16:49:57] <Mat2ch> we will see if it launches anyway [16:50:11] <Althego> at least end of may is the target [21:25:49] <Guest23742> has anyone done a rendezvous in moon orbit [21:26:48] <darsie> mhm [21:27:08] <Guest23742> how did you learn how to do it? [21:27:27] <darsie> I read rendezvous tutorials. Was confusign at first. [21:27:40] <FLHerne> It's the same as Kerbin orbit, really [21:27:48] <darsie> mhm [21:27:52] <FLHerne> Much easier if you land on the equator [21:28:07] <FLHerne> (I assume you're rendezvousing with a lander?) [21:28:10] <darsie> orbit above the equator? [21:28:26] <FLHerne> Otherwise you have to take off at just the right time to be in the same plane [21:28:36] <darsie> Rendezvous is typically in space. [21:28:57] <FLHerne> Or spend lots of fuel correcting it [21:29:26] <darsie> I've picked up Kerbals stranded in Mun orbit. [21:30:01] <darsie> Heh, even from suborbital trajectories :). [21:30:23] <darsie> Take off from where? [21:30:32] <FLHerne> The surface? [21:30:39] <darsie> of what? [21:30:45] <FLHerne> If you're doing an Apollo sort of mission profile [21:30:53] <darsie> ic [21:31:09] <FLHerne> Where you land on the Mun, take off, rendezvous with the CM [21:31:32] <darsie> Yeah, you'd take off in the plane of the orbiter. Or slightly before that. [21:31:55] <FLHerne> Which I think is probably the most likely reason for a new player to be trying to rendezvous around the Mun [21:32:52] <FLHerne> I tried rescuing some tourists I'd accidentally launched into a suborbital hop on Kerbin [21:33:17] <darsie> Grazing teh atmosphere? [21:33:58] <darsie> FLHerne: Are you Guest23742? [21:34:07] <FLHerne> No [21:34:29] <FLHerne> It was a RemoteTech-controlled ship, and the aerial fell off :P [21:35:17] <FLHerne> Made the rendezvous, but then Jeb and the tourists burned up on re-entry before I could fix things :P [21:38:57] <darsie> Hmm, Apollo ... if it wasn't at the equator, you couldn't wait a month till you're in the plane of the orbiter again. You'd have to launch where you are and do a (small) plane change. Still launch at the right moment to be close to the orbiter when you make orbit. Preferably behind it. [21:45:50] <Guest23742> my man jebediah ran out of fuel returning to kerbal so he's stuck in moon orbit :( [21:47:18] <darsie> Guest23742: The rocket ran out of fuel? [21:47:39] <Guest23742> yes [21:47:50] <darsie> You can go on EVA and use the jetpack. [21:47:53] <darsie> save first. [21:49:00] <darsie> Jetpack has 600 m/s delta-v. [21:49:38] <darsie> Enough to get to aerobraking at Kerbin. [21:50:19] <darsie> After many passes through teh atmosphere you can raise your Pe to orbit. [21:50:42] <darsie> Do you have a capsule in LKO? [21:52:09] <darsie> It's not easy. [21:52:51] <darsie> If you thrust in map mode, Kerbals will change their attitude, unless you use Superman attitude and thrust up. [21:54:55] <darsie> I should write a deorbit Kerbal at Kerbin tutorial in the wiki. [21:57:47] <raptop> Do it! [21:58:16] <darsie> Maybe tomorrow. [21:58:38] <Guest23742> "maybe tomorrow" is the kerbal way [21:58:40] <darsie> Which is in 1 min. [22:00:05] Action: raptop presses "warp to dawn" [22:00:52] Action: darsie flosses and brushes teeth in 3 s, then sleeps for 45 s. [22:01:43] <darsie> Tomorrow is Sunday. [22:06:41] <packbart> nah, it's about mid-thunday [22:07:10] <darsie> Define thunday. [22:07:35] <packbart> the second of the two weekdays. mednesday and thunday [22:19:11] <darsie> gn [22:41:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
