[06:05:44] what, 2 launches just jumped to today, pslv from isro and falcon 9 from spacex [06:09:06] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOg-2wq3qDI [06:09:08] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D8IT7nKUmc [07:03:09] https://twitter.com/KerbalSpaceP/status/1339300454950322177 [07:03:14] also 1.11 launches today [07:03:39] Kerbonauts, heads up and prepare your engineers for some heavy construction on December 17th! [07:03:39] ⏰ [07:03:40] Set your alarms for 1pm ET / 10am Pacific. Version 1.11 "Some Reassembly Required" lands tomorrow [07:03:40] ✨ [07:03:40] 🚀 [07:03:40] ✨ [07:07:50] yay [07:17:50] hah, flat earth. it is getting increasingly hard to find [09:32:36] the isro stream started, but damaged [09:50:22] not even the usual potato quality, mashed potato quality [09:51:31] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOg-2wq3qDI [10:10:55] flying [10:32:19] another success for the indians. i hope soon they demonstrate something about human spaceflight [10:52:24] shaking hands [12:37:12] 1337 [13:02:10] already delayed about 40 minutes [13:02:32] Tweet [13:02:33] See new Tweets [13:02:33] Conversation [13:02:33] SpaceX [13:02:33] @SpaceX [13:02:33] Targeting 9:45 a.m. EST for today's launch of NROL-108 to allow some weather to pass [13:02:49] 45 then [14:24:53] stream just started [14:25:21] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D8IT7nKUmc for all that need the link again [14:35:14] to be in the sky is better than not to be in the sky :) [14:39:27] and advertisment of the NRO?! [14:39:31] so weird [14:39:42] i guess it was in the contract [14:39:48] last spacex launch this year [14:39:58] and it is quite obvious sn9 is nto going to fly this year [14:40:04] yeah, SN9 wont fly and wont be tested before christmas :/ [14:40:24] !closes [14:40:25] !road [14:40:28] Mat2ch => Primary; Thursday, Dec 17, 2020; 8:00 am to 5:00 pm; Cancelled | Secondary; Friday, Dec 18, 2020; 8:00 am to 5:00 pm; Cancelled | Primary; Monday, Dec 28, 2020; 8:00 am to 5:00 pm; Scheduled | Secondary; Tuesday, Dec 29, 2020; 8:00 am to 5:00 pm; Scheduled [14:40:49] 28th or 29th for pressure tests [14:40:55] and flight next year :P [14:41:11] i doubt they are going for a flight during new year's festivities [14:41:27] wait, why was there a rocketlabs scene? :D [14:41:45] would be funny to fly it at midnight. But I doubt it ;) [14:42:13] generic cutscene, industry's best and brightest [14:42:18] rocketlab is amongst them [14:42:31] actually there is a launch complex 2 for rocketlab [14:42:34] they never used it [14:42:35] yet [14:42:51] but that is in the usa for easier launches of american payloads [14:43:15] Hold :| [14:43:38] Russian spy plane! [14:43:50] Most probably not. ;) [14:44:31] no need for a spy plane [14:44:43] they probably already know what is on the rocket [14:44:50] and not visible from the outside anyway [14:45:51] well, Scott already speculated about something in geo stationary orbit [14:45:54] eh, went back to 45 minutes [14:46:03] radio telecopse with huge foldable dish or so [14:47:56] I wonder how effective that is in todays world, where everything gets end-to-end encrypted. [14:48:04] But meta data should be still valuable [14:48:27] how does this relate to a radio telescope? [14:48:52] getting the data is simple, pay somebody [14:49:20] I have no clue why the NRO would send up a radio telescope then. [14:49:57] they are probably not spying on planets with them [14:50:25] they're spying on earth, maybe trying to receive the data that is sent to others sats [14:50:47] fully encrypted that data is worth nothing, except you hope you can decrypt it some day. [14:51:01] if it is a radar instead of a telescope you can generally get a lot of useful information [14:51:10] but i am not sure about military usage [14:52:48] maybe a passive radar. The one thing that can scan for stealth planes [14:53:47] There is so much chatter on many different frequencies today, a stealth plane would shadow them and you could see a mark [14:53:49] maybe [14:54:15] or they are sending some aliens home and we are not allowed to know :P [14:54:22] hehe [14:54:41] if the aliens could get here, they dont need our help to leave [14:55:06] so where is the release notes? [14:55:15] no, not for the aliens [14:57:44] Maybe landing can be covered up by a meteroid story, but launching has to be steathly ;) [14:58:43] *stealthy [14:59:16] since they are not detanking the rocket they seem to be confident to launch sooner than later [14:59:47] or maybe I'm seeing it wrong [15:03:00] if it is because of weather, it may fix itself [15:03:16] probably cheaper to wait a bit now than to do this whole thing from start tomorrow [15:10:18] The vehicle and the payload are in good health, so what's the issue? [15:10:32] Don't know [15:10:39] Range or weather [15:10:54] I guess they wolud have said that. [15:11:22] or they cant say that one of the aliens got sick :) [15:12:16] The computer that renders the images in space crashed. [15:12:39] no images, stop after first stage landing because of the nature of payload [15:20:34] "Pressure is slightly high in upper stage liquid oxygen tank. Review underway." [15:20:55] I think "vehicle and payload are healthy" translates to "it's not going to blow up" [16:09:29] no launc [16:20:28] :( [16:33:38] but only a few hours remain until 1.11 [18:26:28] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osKBLOHvvBQ [18:27:05] now available [18:27:07] https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/198773-kerbal-space-program-111-some-reassembly-required-is-now-available/ [18:27:43] finally my navigation lights [18:27:53] and the 5 way rcs [18:32:50] hehe new eva science: playing golf [18:49:52] oh, KSP released. *update* [18:54:57] ( https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/220200/view/4010983523405799103 ) [19:02:33] wow, thats a pretty awesome update [19:03:49] Hail Squad! [19:04:22] there will be bugs and some whining on the forums, don't you worry ;) [19:08:17] "* Don't put parachutes in the first (launchpad) stage by default." [19:08:25] Aw :-( [19:08:30] hehe [19:08:40] one kerbal moment less [19:08:49] .outcome add Your parachutes deploy on takeoff. [19:08:50] FLHerne: Added outcome: Your parachutes deploy on takeoff. [19:09:54] "Crewable part masses revised to account for crew mass" is interesting [19:10:24] yes actually the less gear you put on kerbals the less mass they add [19:11:49] KSP release? Like 1.11? [19:12:03] ahh, right. [19:12:18] Why is it not in the topic? [19:12:20] i have been saying that for like half a day [19:12:31] Yeah, I was confused, thinking if it was a date. [19:13:49] "* Fix resource transfer failing when opening and closing a parts action windows several times." [19:13:53] yesyesyesyes! [19:13:58] Finally! [19:14:11] i dont know why they havent put that in 1.10.1 [19:14:15] maybe it was harder to find [19:18:57] i guess next year starts with a new dlc [19:19:20] since ksp2 is infinitely far away [19:30:34] 1.11.1 is going to be a fun number [19:31:24] Weeellllll [19:37:11] no mention of the docking port bug... [19:37:26] is the new Kraken drive still possible? We will soon find out! ;) [19:39:18] in the worst case it could be replaced by the karen drive :) [19:39:26] uses the power of captive karens [19:41:14] Ah, management strategies [19:46:24] its thursday, people! [19:46:35] almost two launches today [19:46:41] but maybe two launches t omorrow [19:46:46] soyuz and falcon 9 [19:57:27] Cities skylines is free on the epic store [20:01:19] and Prison Architect is still free on gog [20:05:13] yep [20:05:51] It's surreal how much free or cheap entertainment exists these days [20:29:49] raptop: free of charge to get you to spend more money... [20:30:53] hm [20:31:07] Wait, cities skylines has a bunch of DLC, right? [20:31:30] paradox [20:31:33] so it has to have [20:32:29] Action: raptop imagines cruser kings style shenanigans with a city [20:32:33] there is plenty of content in the base game [20:35:59] the one piece of dlc that comes close to essential would be the mass transit dlc [20:53:10] also what happened to the starship update? [20:55:33] Althego: moved to mars time [20:56:00] better mars than snickers [22:05:41] I have... [22:05:44] returned. [22:06:20] I'm assuming that nothing interesting is happening right now. [22:07:53] I'm probably gonna be hosting a Kerbal Space Program Livestream later today or tomorrow. [22:09:16] Creating content on YouTube is blocked for me, so that doesn't work for live streaming. Does anybody have some recommendations on what I can use? [22:09:44] twitch? [22:10:10] blocked :/ [22:10:22] I'm on a School Managed Chromebook BTW [22:11:15] Steam? [22:11:25] Action: raptop isn't very familiar with how that does streaming [22:11:39] how do you even stream on steam [22:12:08] I might have to use Zoom (bruh) if I can't find anything else [22:13:35] I might have found something? [22:13:43] https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/linkedin-live [22:15:29] I've made a video torrent, but that's not live. [22:22:34] LinkedIn doesn't work [22:24:50] ReStream Studio does, though [23:26:22] use a VPN to tunnel through the filterwall ;) [23:58:59] * Don't put parachutes in the first (launchpad) stage by default. [23:59:01] Nice
