Should I make my own spacedock page for it and make a netkan PR? Not sure how the process works when taking over an existing mod. [01:49:32] Oh, there's a ckan channel [02:44:30] just saw "first man" [02:44:41] so many of the parts looked familiar [02:44:56] i guess ksp modelled a lot of the parts after apollo/gemini? [02:52:49] https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-Dual-Blade-Window-White/dp/B00008XET9/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_lp_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3MDKBRYHP1J58WV4SQP3 -I have something similar to this, and it makes a GREAT auxillary computer cooling fan [03:00:32] That doesn't look like a high static pressure fan, it does move a lot of CFM; but at very low pressure. [03:01:52] That will probably make quite a bit of noise if you create enough backpressure.

[06:14:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v RyanKnack' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:24:06] simple rocket, single crew, docking port jr. on the nose. Was built for a 'station building mission'. I don't remember why I named it 'Thumbtack' a while ago. [06:24:50] although, now I think about it.... pinning a ship to the side of a station, kind of like pushing a thumbtack into the wall? [06:26:24] oh wait.. named that because of the shape, was meant to go with a booster already in orbit. Frontier was meant for the station, RCS system [07:03:30] launch in less than 2 hours [07:38:07] lunch in less than 2 hours would be a tiny bit early? :p [07:39:03] not too much [07:39:24] when i dont eat breakfast i eat lunch at 11 [07:42:33] hehe godless engineer with flat earth again, the video he was talking aboutaccidentally had some ksp pictures in it, because it was demonstrating how you cant find real pictures of the solar system [07:44:39] lol [07:44:41] .... pictures of the solar system, as in with planets moving around on tracks? [07:44:52] or plates on train tracks lol [07:45:00] you cant have that anyway, small specks of dust moving in the huge void [07:45:17] why not, as well as go all way and have stars really just chumbs on black table sheet train tracks is on [07:45:54] sun is just really on a big machine, each night it gets transported underground back to the starting point [07:47:06] actually.. come to think of it, book Steal Beach, the city underground on the moon did have a fake sun that went overhead on special tracks [07:48:16] people that did have a view out over the surface, was so much garbage, people just dumped it outside. No air for wind, or climate, it just sat around forever, getting sun blasted [08:04:23] steel beach? [08:04:51] what there is already some livestream going on. cobesats on this launch too [08:07:13] Rolf book by John Varley... setting is on the moon, something about an alien race making Earth unlivable, so human population moved to the Moon... [08:07:30] yeah I remember that [08:07:43] they took earth and jupier [08:07:45] or... some alien race killed everyone on Earth, just those on the moon were left.. I don't remember, its been a while [08:08:01] most earth people died due to sudden loss of techology [08:08:15] aliens just dissolved everything manmade [08:08:37] and any human who dare go there dies [08:08:43] I know it wasn't talked about much.. just enough to place the setting [08:09:59] later on, he talked about Heinlein tech, which I hadn't even ehard of up till then [08:30:51] it is on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMDvPCGeE0 [08:31:05] hehe itmestamp is in utc [08:50:39] this will be huge http://spaceflight.com/sso-a/ [08:51:29] although they will have practically the same orbit [08:51:59] looks quite kerbal [08:53:54] perfect, this is monday evening for me, so i can watch the deployment too [08:56:02] 'rideshare'.... ok.. so not just rockets now huh? [08:56:29] term wise at least [08:57:48] geez... 49 cube sat.... so going to shotgun the sky with stuff huh? [09:00:49] ..... [09:02:26] oh flight to ISS [09:03:12] and docking of the progress is coming up in less than a day [09:06:00] hehe why does it have the fairing on [09:06:04] above 100 km [09:07:00] second stage solid huh... [09:07:11] i never understand that [09:07:12] for simplicity? [09:07:19] ok, they are simple and probably not fail [09:07:54] i like the perigee readout [09:07:59] you can imagine the orbit ksp like [09:08:06] wonder what kind of delta V deviation on the fuel is factored in.. [09:08:07] it is still below the surface [09:08:43] and the typical burning down happens [09:08:47] i rarely do that in ksp [09:08:57] LF rocekts you can sort of throttle... not so much on the solid.. those things are built to spec, long time before launch. Then its... kick it, hope it doesn't go too far off as it burns [09:09:02] it means this much that you cant throttle in real life [09:09:54] and as usual they never tell us how they get rid of that stage in orbit [09:10:18] 278x207 km it will be there for a long time [09:11:06] strangely while 100k people were watching spacex, only 4500 are interested in this [09:13:07] did it show per and ap..? [09:13:23] ah.. ya series of burns [09:13:30] series of tubes :) [09:13:41] SRB will drop eventually... still gotta finalize the circularization [09:14:21] yes after a while [09:14:30] at least the spacex second stage can make a deorbit burn [09:16:39] stream over [09:16:42] I noticed the stage sep, RCS started it into a tumble... [09:16:59] or not. maybe as in apollo it helped to separate [09:17:25] apollo needed ullage to fire engines [09:17:51] the docking target for the gemini, they had special fuel bellows to help with restarts [09:18:21] ok, the solid does not need that [09:18:47] solid.. no [09:19:30] does need a pretty strong ignition though. [09:19:52] and maybe a touch of prediction [09:27:34] ... take pressure reading at Scott's Secret... still kept the report from Scott's Sanity from a while back... [09:27:43] hehe [09:27:51] are they all alliterating? [09:29:35] I don't know.. just the fact that Scott came up twice already on this one career. [09:29:49] pretty close to the center [09:34:04] https://i.redd.it/vyo5mtrp4ly11.png [09:34:15] https://i.redd.it/fnqod3eq5ny11.png [09:35:53] nice [09:37:40] from ksp twitter [09:40:07] I got a bit into flight sim... a bit later on. It wasn't till a little past that I started seeing some of the 'not so good' stuff about it. The simple magic of just having a flight sim period back in those days. [09:40:46] now you have ultra-realisim.. with a few various products, flight-sim sorta got buried [09:41:53] KSP is fun to mess with, there been times I wish I had a few specific planes to mess around in it... not so much fighter jockey myself, there are soem aviation favs I do have [09:42:14] one of the first games i had on PC was flight sim - Red Baron 2 [09:44:40] I played around with Flightsim 1... I think 2 as well. I still remember 4 and Flightshop for Flightsim. [09:45:01] downloading region maps made by other players from library database. [09:45:16] Even had UFO, I still have Spacesim [09:47:50] heh.. before all that, 'Jet'... also had Chuck Yeager's Air combat, may even still have the cassette where he talks about things [09:50:10] .... oh according to net, it was included in advanced flight trainer 2.0.... eh its been a while. [09:53:06] flight sim http://www.warpology.com/x/VIDEO0015.mp4 [09:53:09] they really suck [09:54:26] later it turned out that playing ksp helps you to fly helicopters, and even GA is flyable if i turn off the computerized help, i realized that after trying the older GS what i could fly easily [09:57:14] I've helped at the museum of flight. They took in a GA trainer from the 70s or so, made by Singer called the GAT-1 (general aviation trainer 1) [09:57:35] probably other GA :) [09:57:47] this has been flying for the last few years [09:57:47] turns out someone blew out one of the control transistors that runs the motor for banking.. putting all the power load on the second. [09:57:57] MUSEUM [09:58:02] argh [09:58:34] then later... I heard they wanted to computerize it but then later realized it would have been too much. [09:59:01] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIatD8w_jOc [09:59:05] Action: Rokker museum [09:59:24] hey.. the guys that ran the place actually flew a number of older planes... a TigerMoth, one of the helpers even owns a Staggerwing, still flying. [10:00:36] couple of Harvards [10:02:59] year 6 of the space program... and then i realize the dessert launch platform is called 'dessert' and not 'desert' [10:03:14] hehe [10:03:18] i took me a few months too [10:04:00] sometimes i wonder why bothered to learn how to read at all [10:05:47] desert... hot.. desert, sometimes cold... for someone who doesn't know english too well, I can see how that would be so much trouble to learn [11:24:55] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o BPlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [11:36:11] Last message repeated 1 time(s).

What's the syntax? [16:03:59] I guess I could copy and then *= ? [16:05:47] Action: darsie tries to collide two ships, one in prograde and one in retrograde orbit. [16:06:02] hehe [16:06:10] almost impossible [16:06:16] because of the physics step [16:06:28] You can retune the step time [16:06:40] Or even get better time warp and do 0.25x physics warp [16:06:51] basically that is the only way to do it [16:06:58] Is that stock? [16:07:13] no [16:07:19] the first one is [16:07:21] scott did something like this [16:07:27] slow motion station collision [16:18:26] alright I need some inputs on stuff [16:18:41] in parallel to my planes I will be trying to build and sell some antenna trackers [16:19:52] they should be cheaper and sell more easily so should I focus more on that [16:25:54] also, to make a ring gear I can just make the negative of a regular gear and they will mesh? [16:57:55] What's wrong with this MM syntax: @entryCost = #$cost$ * 2 ? [16:58:11] Is '*' not multiply? [17:01:04] Well, @entryCost = #$cost$ \n @entryCost *= 2 works [17:36:29] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:39:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o BPlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:49:42] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:56:28] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o BPlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:10:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:05:31] slow day [19:55:25] so, i provoked this fallen empire, and i can take on one of their fleets with all my fleets combined, but i have no idea how to separate theirs...

[21:29:17] that's the video system for my glider [21:29:30] HD and fpv video+tx, all in that [21:30:32] sending even in HD? [21:31:24] nah, the fpv signal is ugly as always but it records hd [21:31:29] this way it needs only one camera [21:32:30] what plane are you working on right now?

It's 0.04, I can put it to 0.03. [21:37:56] however I don't know how deep the glider will be so I can't design the mount yet [21:47:03] oh nice, a glider for once. :D [21:49:42] yeah for long flight time and long range hopefuly [21:58:07] My argument of periapsis drifts :(. [21:58:39] I had Ap/Pe with my target aligned, but it drifted apart. Altitudes are unchanged. [21:59:06] Principa? [22:00:00] no [22:00:06] Ahh, no, altitudes changed, too.
