[09:06:50] the usual, elon static cylinder program [09:16:17] Welcome to the meeting of the Anonymous Texas Tank Watchers. My name is Mat2ch and I am an addict. [09:41:20] Pop imminent? [09:42:10] it stopped venting [09:42:12] so maybe [09:42:17] in an hour :) [09:44:24] They have to close the top valve to build up the pressure [09:44:47] suposedly there should be ice forming on the tank [09:44:56] because there is a lot of humidity in the air [09:47:43] no, top valve is open [09:47:59] i dont think they have time for a 3rd time [09:50:32] there used to be 3 viewpoints the padre, the nsf and tim [09:50:48] but now padre and nsf are about the same [09:57:14] yeah, no pop today [10:44:41] Mat2ch: Best watched with subtitles [10:54:08] FLHerne: Parallax video? Or the tank? ;) [10:54:40] Parallax [10:55:04] youtube uses tiny characters fir subtitles, annoying [10:55:07] Oh yes, the pictures are impressive, the CCs hillarious [12:52:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:08:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:38:16] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:45:18] so, are there red trees on laythe? [14:58:30] Squid announces new expansion in cooperation with Estée Lauder. Give your space stations a purpose and embark on a tour of beauty! New contracts include "Photograph our product landed on Minmus' highlands" and "Take our product to Duna, Dres and Jool, then return it to Kerbin." [14:58:44] scnr. I just came across the headline "Estée Lauder Works with NASA to Send Iconic Advanced Night Repair into Space" [15:03:52] squid? [15:04:05] squad? [15:04:25] I didn't want to imply that Squad would ever do something outrageous like this ;) [15:04:30] hehe [15:04:45] the first expansion was kind of meh [15:04:54] apparently some astronaut is going to float in the cupola and hold a bottle of anti-aging goo into a camera [15:05:06] in 2021 [15:05:33] "Advanced Night Repair serum will be photographed for use on the brand’s social media platforms" [15:05:38] unless they want to do it with crew 1 [15:06:01] ( https://www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/newsroom/press-releases/2020/09-18-2020-195113696 ) [15:06:13] but i think 2021 is going to see the next space touristsd on the space station [15:06:31] the goo is going up on a Cygnus pretty soon [15:06:34] ah [15:06:44] Estée Lauder Mystery Goo [15:06:47] i thought they would send their own model too :) [15:08:00] nah, they need a wrinkled astronaut for effect [15:08:06] lol [15:08:41] does the goo have hyaluronic acid? [15:08:55] latest buzzword i hear from ads [15:09:21] well, it does have "Chronolux™ Power Signal Technology" if that's what you mean [15:09:28] lol [15:09:47] at some $200 per 100ml they can afford the orbital photoshoot [15:10:16] there is the supposedly serious idea of filming with tom cruise on the iss [15:11:14] issue is, 55 million per seat and i guess you cant have less than 3 people (including cruise), but probably need 4 [15:11:59] send up another Bigelow? [15:12:00] on the other hand if i was tom cruise i would do it for free, since even then it is a free ride to space [15:12:24] and probablhe cruise alone costs several tens of millions [15:12:26] Bigelow bungalow [15:13:58] In March 2020, the company laid off all 88 of its employees, and stated it was due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It also announced that it would rehire the staff when conditions permitted.[3] [15:17:20] they did produce an inflatable module that does not require a Space Truck to launch. that's something [15:18:14] and the tech exists [15:18:34] just the company is basically nonexistent at the moment [15:19:24] I was just saying, if Tom Cruise needs a dressing room on the ISS, they could provide one ;) [15:19:56] put the useless celebrity into the space balloon [17:01:27] this looks fine. https://i.imgur.com/isxwjdd.png (Eve lander found on the forum) [17:04:58] hehe [17:05:29] my dual prop eve ascent vehicle... i couldnt land it. it always exploded [17:05:50] it could go into orbit just fine [17:06:01] but never land [17:10:52] Can airplanes go into spin in KSP? [17:14:07] probably not the classical way with one wing in stall [17:26:07] right. they do so in new and improved ways :) it's not been much of a problem, though [17:47:09] darsie: You can get into a sort of flat spin if the CoM is too far back [17:47:48] But KSP aerodynamics still don't really connect much with the real world [17:48:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o umbralraptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:52:52] which is very sad [17:54:43] backup date tomorrow for us [17:54:47] in eu [17:54:57] primary date the day after [17:55:02] something is happening again? [17:55:08] but it cant be the sn8 [17:57:33] what's happening? [17:57:37] LabPadre has nothing [17:58:02] how should i know, but there is something with a primary date in two days [18:01:26] i meant this https://www.cameroncounty.us/spacex/ [18:07:11] Oh, yes, SN8 pressure test probably [18:07:22] and SN7.1 pop finally hopefully llly [18:07:36] i cant imagine why it is so hard [18:07:55] Too strong ;( [18:07:57] ;) [18:08:42] they have their iron man [18:08:50] so just ask hulk to smash :) [18:10:42] They just need a better pump to build up pressure ;) [18:25:57] at least there is a what about it [18:43:27] isnt it battery day today? [18:45:42] I didn't know about it but it is. "Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at 1:30 PM Pacific Time" [18:46:38] then i am going to look at it tomorrow [18:46:58] btw an other day is coming, similar event for spacex next month [20:57:47] SN8 got its first wing? I would've thought they wait with that until after the pressure test. [21:07:05] Ugh. I never want to be part of a shareholder meeting. I was once in a political party and the proposals sounds a lot like there... [21:09:18] There's a proposal for Human Rights Disclosure and the commenter talks about Cobalt mining by child labor and Tesla doesn't use that kind of Cobalt at all and has stated it many times... [21:09:52] And I thought shareholders would read the news about companies they have shares off... [21:31:34] maybey they did but didn't want to miss out on the kind of publicity a Tesla shareholder meeting provides to talk about their cause [21:33:27] packbart: that's an interesting perspective. [21:59:37] oh, new battery size. 4680 now. thiccccc [21:59:39] :D [22:16:30] and silicone based anode. Which gives 20 % more range. [22:23:39] aaaand crushing the cost of Nickel production... [22:24:32] and 33 % cost reduction in Lithium production just by removing intermediate refining steps [22:25:34] by using table salt to extract the Lithium from the ore... what [22:25:48] they're going to produce their own Lithium [22:32:29] ok, the last part is crazy. The battery pack as structural part of the car. [22:33:52] which somehoe means that you are sitting directly onto it. [22:33:59] *somehow [22:34:50] and now comes the graphics. And yes, the seat mount is part of the pack now... [22:35:33] Changing the pack changes the seats ;) [22:35:46] But those cars are so reliable, there's not much change. [22:36:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o umbralraptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:37:11] in total more than halfing the price of the batteries. [22:37:18] (technically accumulators :P) [22:42:21] now Q&A and I'm out. [22:56:43] Linuxgurugamer showing off head tracking with KSP. I'm not sure I'd get the hang of that. Seems a bit silly without VR goggles
