[03:28:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o umbralraptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [04:39:34] static fire attempt underway agin [04:56:05] hehe electron already moved a day [05:18:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:22:59] Yet another Starlink launch in two days [05:25:18] .nextlunch [05:25:18] More coffee [06:39:20] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:55:56] finally somethinf is happening. but with this speed they are going to run out of time [08:31:49] the manually advanced timeline says raptor chill [08:37:17] sound like a siren [08:42:38] ok detank [08:42:43] probaby not today [09:48:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:49:25] Action: Deddly is slightly dissapointed that .nextlunch is an invalid nick [09:50:22] without the. [09:52:00] Well yeah, but I wanted to play havok with the bot [09:52:04] .nextlunch [09:52:04] BLT [09:52:10] hehe [09:52:12] I'll take 7 [10:14:40] Why is that an invalid nick? [10:36:02] according to the RFC, nicknames need to start with a letter [10:38:40] Althego: it looks like they're loading propellant again [10:39:01] what, now? [10:39:44] yes [10:40:13] but that can easily take a long time, and they are almost out of the window [10:43:23] for the last test they ignored the window as well... [10:49:41] Why do they vent LOX? [10:50:22] because the tank is full, I think [10:50:26] Seems somehow dangerous [10:50:43] I guess they have to vent it as it boils off [10:50:45] better than venting methane ;) [10:51:23] True [10:51:50] Tell them to hold the test for half an hour please, I have to go. [10:52:33] siren [10:54:04] obviously they have to let out the boil off [11:01:30] what was that [11:01:45] there was not even much sound [11:01:58] Preburner doesn't make much sound [11:01:59] but there was flame [11:02:05] so it couldnt be pre burner [11:02:21] Why not? [11:02:36] didnt see flames in the previous pre burber tests [11:02:46] but maybe the dust was in the way [11:02:48] There were only one engine then :D [11:03:14] or they aborted the static fire? [11:04:04] we dont know [11:04:50] there was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom [11:04:53] also the side went thing to the right happened before the flames [11:05:09] which is at least interesting [11:06:24] so because of this and the flames i think it was a failed test [11:06:29] but nobody knows [11:17:42] "Return a sample from a class B asteroid" coming up tomorrow, I see. ( https://www.asteroidmission.org/?latest-news=watch-osiris-rex-sample-collection-activities ) [11:27:57] there are two sample returns in progress, but it is going to take years until the samples are recovered [11:43:29] Yeah the Japanese space program have one going [11:43:48] So, Starship test fail, was it? [11:43:57] not sure [11:44:09] Is the stream still going? [11:44:34] not the nasaspaceflight [11:44:45] but the padre streams are always up [11:45:26] elon didnt say anything [11:45:30] yet [11:45:50] OK, thanks for the update [11:47:35] ansible is such a pain when you need to do programming in it [11:57:44] But Althego, Ansible is the simplest way to automate apps and IT infrastructure [11:58:05] in most cases [11:58:20] when you want to copy files, set some file content, create firectories and such [11:58:30] way simpler than the python script i am trying to transplant [11:58:33] I didn't know what Ansible is, so I just copied and pasted the first line from their website ;) [12:01:13] but since it is not really a programming language if are already getting awkward, loops are specialized and one statement only, and basically all programmign is done in jinja templates [12:02:54] I wish I had learned to programme beyond some basic TCL [12:04:32] you can do it any time [12:11:35] True, but I'm not sure I want to dedicate time into that [12:11:45] (at the moment) [13:00:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:42:05] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:05:53] Last message repeated 1 time(s).

I wouldn't want to accidentally ping someone. [17:48:13] MUSEUM [17:48:20] Deddly: MUSEUM [17:48:25] hee [17:48:31] I miss red [17:48:32] Horray for museums :) [17:48:34] bit slow, but still alive [17:48:37] I miss bothering all of yall [17:48:43] Althego: I'm busy working [17:48:45] We miss you, Rokker [17:48:47] in my museum [17:49:05] Yeah I miss Red too [17:49:11] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/lWUVPAQ6/20201018_155638.jpg [17:49:31] That is an awesome museum [17:49:36] ah x-24 [17:49:57] oh, those parts in front are from the SSPX mod ;) [17:50:05] hehe [17:50:11] reality modding [17:50:50] "Space Shuttle Extravehicular Mobility ...Unit"? [17:51:08] (the sign in the foreground) [17:51:25] Ah yes, Unit [17:51:54] The EMU is a spacesuit? [17:54:41] Deddly: RCS backpack [17:54:51] that is the mmu [17:55:07] No, it is the whole suit [17:55:50] OK so EMU+MMU = Spacesuit with RCS [17:55:59] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manned_Maneuvering_Unit [17:56:04] technically they still have some rcs [17:56:16] They do? [17:56:17] but have only 2 m/s delta v fo emergency use [17:56:43] ok, it is 3, not 2 [17:57:30] Where can I read about that? [17:57:35] safer [17:57:35] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Kcaqlo5s/20201012_160421.jpg [17:57:51] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Aid_For_EVA_Rescue [17:58:31] Aaw man those sleek lines... [17:58:56] x-15 is still unparalleled [17:59:05] just as the sr-71 [17:59:12] Althego, But the EMU didn't have that built in, as far as I can tell, did it? [17:59:16] (or maybe not, they are just so secret we dont knwo about them) [17:59:39] safer is not built in, but nonetheeless used together normally [18:00:07] But not on the shuttle, right? [18:00:37] i think the suits didnt change much since then [18:01:40] The Wiki article specifically talks about ISS EVAs, and the Wikipedia page for the EMU talks specifically about the shuttle [18:03:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_suit#United_States_suit_models shows the EMU was for both shuttle and ISS [18:03:40] Wikipedia has spoken! [18:03:45] hehe [18:03:59] "and was worn on spacewalks outside the Space Shuttle" and "The left side latch on the SAFER unit became unlatched during an EVA by astronaut Piers Sellers on STS-121" [18:04:00] from 82? [18:04:10] so it was used on Shuttle missions, too [18:04:13] it means those dsigns are already around 40 years old [18:04:24] and it shows basically nothing happened in those 40 yars, which makes me sad [18:04:41] ion propulsion MMU? ;) [18:04:44] Nice find, packbart [18:04:57] Althego, have you seen NASA's new suit? [18:05:02] yes [18:05:07] finally something happened [18:05:38] I think that was for planetary use, though [18:05:52] still, i was hoping for the biosuit thing, which doesnt have air around your body, it is just very tight, that has been in reasearch for something like 20 years [18:06:10] Honestly, not a lot exciting happened in space tech until SpaceX showed up [18:07:01] I want my breathable goo fluid, so we can finally explore deep seas, too [18:07:33] Well, we already can. But I assume you mean on EVA [18:07:36] also not new [18:07:50] remember cameron's movie the abyss? the rat breathed that [18:07:56] that was actually reall [18:07:58] not new but expensive and still not very healthy, as far as I know [18:08:02] although they faked it for the human [18:08:20] Cool [18:08:33] (the same goo is used in vapour soldering) [18:08:50] I didn't know the rat scene was real. But it makes sense. They use this breathable liquid medically for some premature births [18:10:03] ed harris almost died because of this, since the helmet was filled with water. and in the scene where he jumps off the cliff to go deep, he was towed horizontally underwater [18:10:20] that is hard core acting [18:11:11] I'll have to rewatch that [18:11:32] the whole movie was a hell in several levels, for everybody working on it [18:13:26] there is a scene where they find some dead people in something, was it a submarine, i dont remember. and a small crab climbs out of the mouth of one. that guy was cameron's brother [18:13:31] CO2 buildup is apparently the issue with liquid breathing [18:31:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:03:47] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/HWP9blU8/20201017_141211.jpg [19:07:07] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/tuUWzVC5/20201012_155856.jpg [19:07:52] marquardt space sled [19:08:24] ooh, I want one :) [19:08:36] looks cool [19:11:17] the space sled looks very Kerbal :D [19:21:58] Mat2ch: its literally as kerbal as it gets. its a round rcs tank with some struts, small rcs thrusters and a command seat [19:30:12] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/yoH7m8yK/20201012_155900.jpg [19:31:00] i dont get the chair [19:31:25] Mat2ch: you could literally make that in KSP [19:32:53] Althego: ? [19:33:03] why would you need a chair in space? [19:33:11] or seat [19:33:12] whatever [19:36:24] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/5vmqTNv3/20201012_155915.jpg [19:45:31] Althego: I mean its less crazy than the propulsion gun [19:52:40] Althego: For artificial gravity. [19:53:42] Also to strap yourself in front of the console. [21:19:46] Rokker: is that thing floating, while in operation? When I hear "sled" I expect something that slides...
