[07:03:39] <Althego> Kerbonauts, heads up and prepare your engineers for some heavy construction on December 17th!
[07:03:39] <Althego> ⏰
[07:03:40] <Althego> Set your alarms for 1pm ET / 10am Pacific. Version 1.11 "Some Reassembly Required" lands tomorrow

[07:03:40] <Althego> ✨
[07:07:50] <UmbralRaptop> yay
[07:17:50] <Althego> hah, flat earth. it is getting increasingly hard to find
[09:32:36] <Althego> the isro stream started, but damaged
[09:50:22] <Althego> not even the usual potato quality, mashed potato quality
[09:51:31] <darsie> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOg-2wq3qDI
[10:10:55] <Althego> flying
[10:32:19] <Althego> another success for the indians. i hope soon they demonstrate something about human spaceflight
[10:52:24] <darsie> shaking hands
[12:37:12] <darsie> 1337
[13:02:10] <Althego> already delayed about 40 minutes

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