[00:04:56] apparently flat wound strings are not the best for slapping because of the more mellow sound [00:05:06] but I wanted a mellow sound on the bass im making [00:06:14] but apparently some peoples like the sound of slapping flat wound strings and the pickup I got is supposed to be rather loud [00:16:14] https://66.media.tumblr.com/88ea5fba64728bbb7f3f865ccc2f3d4b/tumblr_povxvy0M8P1tn0y9y_540.jpg [00:24:54] but the real question is: did they do something with the _interesting_ end of the hippo? :p [00:25:15] the power-ejecting end i mean :p [00:25:50] im not sure anyone wants to do anything with this end [01:45:45] Is anybody here? [01:50:03] Not with that attitude [02:20:05] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: With the rising of sea levels, every coastal launch facility will become a Sea Launch! [02:22:36] Free water for sound supression! [02:24:22] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if the Dragon V2 loss was related to their previous propellant problems. [02:25:27] AMOS-6? I thought different propellants were involved? [02:26:11] No, there was a Dragon V2 lost during a test with rather nasty looking hypergolic propellant clouds wafting from what appeared to be a sizeable detonation. [02:27:41] The SuperDraco's propellant lines (or something related to them) seemed to have had recent issues prior to that. [02:28:27] Apparently fuel line freezing [02:29:22] hrm [02:29:25] Having said that, I suppose NASA's reluctance to employ SpaceX's original scheme for propulsive landings has now been solidly justified on grounds other than severe R&D headaches. [02:32:19] Alleged footage of the incident, explosion apparently occurring before ignition https://gfycat.com/idealisticweirdbedlingtonterrier [02:33:53] I'm . . . Not sure a lot of SpaceX supporters understand just how much of a problem this is, as the SuperDracos are also the launch escape system. Exploding on the pad is the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. [02:36:43] I feel like (ironically), one of SpaceX's big innovations in reusability is being able to just lose a vehicle sometimes. [02:37:03] Obviously this presents problems when launching humans [02:45:38] And cargo. [02:45:57] Particularly if a Progress MS is lost around the same time. [02:47:37] And, as far as I understand, Starship isn't to have anything approaching a launch escape system. Unless you like setting your first stage on fire. [02:50:01] We know how bad this is, Scolar. General mood is pessimistic hope that it wasn't the vehicle itself that caused the problem, which is unlikely. [02:51:31] AmbulatoryCortex: A lot, not all, and the SpaceNews commenting crowd generally attack anyone who so much as dare point out even the smallest of issues with SpaceX. [03:07:20] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders a high occupancy model, LES-equipped Starship variant to shuttle people up to an Interplanetary Transfer Vehicle. [03:07:34] I'm just glad it happened now. It could have happened while docked to the ISS... [03:10:11] Could've been related to additional stress upon splashdown, as this was a pre-owned capsule. [03:10:55] Action: Scolar_Visari warily eyes the people continuing to assume Starship will assuredly be a thing. [06:05:32] hi [07:35:22] good morning [08:21:43] https://66.media.tumblr.com/5aa11aefb3b6db3b3ba8fc673a30a1e3/tumblr_ogwb6io4Gf1twki9io1_540.jpg [08:32:06] hehe [08:32:36] cats are liquids anyway [09:08:29] Action: JVFoxy smacks forhead.... [09:08:50] go to look up lego based kerbal google image search, ended up typing kego kerbal.. >_< [09:12:35] speaking of lego... kraken meets star wars... or.. is it the other way around? https://farm9.static.flickr.com/8365/8543169356_47e9e63787_b.jpg [09:18:17] hehe [09:55:25] Destroyer Destroyer got my kek [10:41:05] should I add mahogany laminate to the head of my bass https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429717171002933269/570182263741087764/DSC_1162.JPG [10:41:32] why not [10:41:47] might contrast too much with the rest tho [10:42:03] it is built of pretty light wood and mahogany is rather dark [10:44:01] dark. i thought emos died out already. but tuday i saw one, completely black clothes, black hair, hair in eyes, longer on one side, and piercing in lip [10:44:07] Fluburtur: part 3? ;) [10:44:11] lol [10:44:19] soon [10:44:34] I wanted to edit it but im watching redneck brothers again [10:49:30] ;) [10:49:51] Have you all watched the autonomy conference yesterday? [10:49:54] what do you say? [10:57:50] idk I didnt watch it [10:57:55] I will ever have a tesla [10:58:08] anyways, I think it actually goes together pretty well https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429717171002933269/570186628576968705/DSC_1163.JPG [12:40:13] and when i launched that plane earlier one time it spawned in space in the middle of nothing and the other it spawned on Moho. And there was no sun https://imgur.com/a/1srNLGJ [12:42:12] Hello [12:42:32] I was wondering about transfer options. [12:42:48] so there is hohmann transfer, which is basically a transfer that requires orbits [12:42:58] is it possible to go to the Moon without an orbit [12:43:19] just straight up hitting the moon by launching the rocket in a straight line at the right time [12:43:31] yes? [12:43:38] what is this method called ? [12:43:46] idk [12:44:23] not long ago someone here showed off a craft file which orbits by a single click of spacebar [12:44:48] I think that is called direct ascent [12:44:48] with kOS ? [12:44:54] hm, though i think it's impossible with the mun cause you'd have to make one correction [12:45:17] I have a rocket that can do a direct ascent directly to jool [12:45:45] I did it only once by accident [12:46:40] accidental ascend lol [12:47:26] it is now on an escape trajectory out of kerbol [12:47:34] it is like 10AU away [12:47:37] kerbin AU [12:57:01] MechJeb's Ascent Guidance did have a button for that, "Launch to rendezvous" to timewarp to the launch window. I never really tried it, though [12:57:06] some things to consider: A direct transfer is most of the time possible [12:57:25] it can have some corrective manouvers in it, but doesn't have to [12:57:44] and yes, you can build a rocket that orbits without touching the controls. [12:57:59] the japanese are good at that [12:58:00] but it has to be designed carefully. [12:58:48] Orbiting the Mun without slowing down should be impossible [12:59:04] But with real orbital mechanics it might work. [12:59:52] it requires less dV in total than hohman transfer ? [13:00:10] A direct transfer should be more efficient, yes [13:00:50] Mat2ch, who said obiting? hitting :) [13:01:03] Hitting is even easier ;) [13:01:33] if the m700 scanner still works as a lithobraking device it would make for a very efficient mun lander [16:15:06] I cant find the original video where gaben says "episode 3" [16:44:41] Mat2ch should I make episode 3 a long one or make it into 2 episodes [17:09:27] Fluburtur: what is "long"? [17:09:45] idk but it will be longer than 5 minutes [17:09:56] I need to fix the thing screwing up my recording however [17:16:14] Uh, 15 to 20 min are fine [19:07:13] https://youtu.be/HSUhHYdyGJI [19:07:13] YouTube - Expander Cycle Rocket Engines - Using Waste Heat To Drive Your Rocket [19:57:41] hmm scott [22:07:24] https://i.imgur.com/tO45qxn.gifv
