[05:10:30] Incredible! The IRC channel is working! :) [05:12:34] You better believe it ;). [06:39:25] anyone know why my ksp keeps crashing after I install soviet mods [06:40:41] I have module manager and used both ckan and ksp forum link to download the files. neither of them worked. [07:02:14] maybe the mods are not compatible with some other mods [07:02:37] usually people debug this by stepübystep installation of mods [07:02:47] so does it break even if those are the only mods? [07:02:54] if not, add more gradually [07:03:11] i guess if ckan allowed the install at least the ksp version is ok [13:04:17] hmm... so poodle engine redesign... [13:05:10] that was long time ago [13:05:16] with it now having two engine bells, does that mean it can make a roll while under thrust? [13:05:31] no [13:05:40] the two bells are on one gimbal [13:05:46] says its got 5deg vectoring [13:06:18] so only pitch+yaw.. but can't differential for roll? [13:06:26] exactly [13:06:37] but the roll is not that important usually [13:07:14] I haven't even messed in 1.6 yet... [13:07:57] somehow i ended up with a ship, using 4 terriers... [13:09:17] I'm still tweeking things.. hadn't researched everything.. though the design is quite a bit more advanced than my previous 'cruiser' ship.. [13:12:02] My Duna sample return used 1 kickback and 2 terriers. [13:15:05] I thought about using my ship that I had for getting to mun orbit.. to go out to Minmus.. but.. that three crew commandpod on a 8 day outbound trip, couple days orbit around minmus, maybe even a landing, then 8 days back, seemed like a long trip inside such a small space [13:15:43] i usually go on escape trajectory to minmus [13:15:47] makes it several days faster [13:15:53] Get a jet cabin. [13:16:06] inline jet cabin. [13:16:08] comfy [13:16:50] new ship, Trader, design has 4 of the mk1 crew cabins.. I may have to cut down to half.. it also has docking ports for addon parts [13:18:58] Duna sample return: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot47.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot45.png (repost) [13:21:20] unfortunately, after the booster gets it up high enough, have to burn its own fuel a bit in order to make orbit... [13:22:12] darsie ouch.. almost 2 years in mk1 pod.. :P [13:22:14] Fly low. [13:22:39] Gets to walk a bit around on Duna :). Plant a flag :). [13:22:51] Dig up some dirt. [13:23:04] A few EVAs. [13:23:31] there should really be an unmanned version of sample return [13:23:47] maybe a science instrument that takes a sample from the biome the lander is [13:23:49] Realistically it would start unmanned. [13:23:53] My carter back in earlier career version, I had to actually launch it with partial tanks to keep it under weight limit of lvl2 pad and VAB.. just refueled in orbit before going out on mun shakedown cruise [13:24:31] robotic sampler? maybe something like surveyor.. or viking landers [13:24:57] or just tweek a very small version of resource drill [13:25:27] I think we got our first Moon samples from Apollo. [13:25:45] No Mars samples, yet, IIRC. [13:25:48] I think russia tried.. most failed though [13:26:02] we have a few. but they came on their own accord :) [13:26:15] wasn't there one mission that drilled and collected samples, but put them in cases for pickup later? [13:26:27] yeah [13:26:33] Or is it going to? [13:26:40] Mars 2020? [13:27:08] It will cache sample containers along its route for a potential future Mars sample-return mission. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_2020 [13:27:41] oooh.. I jsut remembered was talk about it. [13:28:23] now I'm wondering what happened to that far side of the moon landing... just a one shop, gets dumped or was it suppose to take off again? [13:29:00] Chinese brought a mini greenhouse there. [13:29:23] Drosophilae, yeast, some plants. [13:29:33] cotton seed? [13:30:00] hehe mars 2020 is not launched yet [13:30:04] as the name implies [13:30:17] and the seeds died [13:30:17] Launch date 17 July to 5 August 2020[4] [13:30:24] on the moon [13:30:26] They sprouted. [13:30:29] got too cold or somethng [13:31:17] Speaking of green houses.... [13:31:25] was watching vid on ISS logistics... [13:32:06] be neat to see a green house on ISS, though it would suck a lot of water. Probably have to be pretty huge if it were to make a worth while dent in the cost of sending up food all the time [13:32:33] Don't they grow plants all the time to spice up their food? [13:33:35] don't know... I usually figured the small amount they do have up there, strictly research [13:33:48] yes they grew plants on iss [13:33:51] in case of zombies [13:33:59] and i think they even ate it [13:34:20] it was lettuce, so 0 calories, the plant you never ever want to take into space for food [13:34:35] lettuce mostly water [13:35:05] mind you... also depends what lettuce.. some are more than just water [13:37:42] sigh [13:38:30] you cant expect more from a night stand :) [13:39:17] roommates server.. [13:39:48] used to connect through a proper setup, but turns out room mate owes tons of money to them so it was dropped [13:40:04] she put the router up on her BF's server.. [13:42:02] the DNS constantly flakes out... earlier today, reported the IP on my machine wasn't properly setup (its always automatic) [13:42:26] that reminds me, my dyndns soon runs out [13:45:18] I should probably go rest anyways... my sleep been totally messed [14:35:54] https://66.media.tumblr.com/a347f47b8dabcd9ec7ed77477c65ffb7/tumblr_ow6oczerbA1wsbn2ao1_540.jpg [14:38:38] how to trap a car https://66.media.tumblr.com/b1e7aa0b3ea8c93aa8d5de9567814c2d/tumblr_inline_pppr3csh3P1rvuujx_540.jpg [14:39:00] lol [14:39:12] it is like the trap a cat pictures [14:39:46] https://www.boredpanda.com/how-to-trap-a-cat-circle/ [14:40:24] cats just like being the center of attention [14:41:10] my cat wants us to open the door all the time because she likes when we pay attention to her [14:41:14] then wants pets [15:01:16] my cat writes files to the standard output [15:22:02] Althego: get stdout!
