[00:03:56] been pondering something while traveling today: navigation markers in KSP... would people make use of them? I understand there is something of a instrument mod type thing but what of being able to place a marker like a flag but for navigation sorta thing? [00:05:37] I "cheated" a small ship in an orbit, planned the trip to Mars from there and then flew to that orbit to make it so. [00:06:10] Seemed like something we'd do irl. [00:09:01] was thinking more ... ground based. although, space navigation buoys could be a thing too I suppose. [00:10:03] what go me going on about things was having markers on the end of the runway to help with landing.... [00:16:24] You could put rovers with lights there. [00:16:47] But the runway is lit at night, I think. Adn visible in daylight. [00:17:33] nah.. don't need lights on markers.. just a little icon I can see [00:18:11] a while back, I tested it out by putting a wheeled probe at 1km out from the end of the runway, and another at 2.5km out [00:46:07] JVFoxy, you mean Waypoint Manager? [00:51:03] hmm... [00:54:04] lordcirth I suppose... though I guess my idea was just places on surfaces. Something you'd have to go out, setup as a kerbal in EVA. Be it a beacon or full on nav facility. [00:55:10] waypoint manager.. just lets you put waypoints where ever with nothing? Just visible as a marker in flight or on map? [01:24:15] what happened to placing flags? [01:25:33] waypoint manager is effectively like mission target markers, something you do while planning a mission before going anywhere [01:33:24] flags as waypoints are ok... though they'll be grouped in with other flags. I guess something of a different flavor. I mean.. suppose you could just setup everything digitally, not even having gone there. Even in midspace if you wanted. [01:41:16] JVFoxy, yeah, you can just put a pin on the map, iirc [01:42:27] lordcirth suppose.. but where's the fun of actually going out there, placing a marker. (or building a nav point) ;P [01:42:57] er... weres the fun in just placing a point in a menu as opposed to actually going out there [01:44:14] i don't think that's the right question [01:44:45] where's the fun in playing a computer game as opposed to actually going out there? [01:45:22] meh... people rather everything, right away, easiest way possible... [01:45:32] no work involved.. [10:26:12] utánam jöttek a gecik [10:26:18] hehe not here [12:39:29] https://i.chzbgr.com/full/9273433344/hE5B34CD7/ [12:40:24] thats not purebread, eyes arent bread [12:58:24] must be artificial eyes for a blind cat [13:01:42] lol [13:03:35] mrrrrrrr-pfft the asteroid is depleted [13:04:05] What size? [14:03:31] Sooo, we will really see Crew Dragon fly on 2nd March [14:03:46] and the SuperDraco engines can be used for orbit insertion if something goes wrong [14:03:48] woah [14:04:12] technically for landing too, but probably not intended to be used as such [14:04:28] because they were too lazy to go through the certification for that [14:11:14] Action: darsie launched successfully. Maybe waiting for the launch time at the launch pad triggered the sound barrier drag. [14:12:37] Althego: NASA doesn't want it. [14:12:45] And they have other priorities, I guess [14:12:50] maybe we'll see a landing later on [14:12:57] they are focusing on the new rocket anyway [14:13:22] or they go for a smaller starship ontop of F9 [14:16:06] I mean, it would make sense to create a smaller starship [14:16:38] you get a reusable second stage, can perform landings, etc. [14:17:00] and all without poking holes in the heat shield [14:58:45] hah the event horizon episode i was waiting for (i thought it should have been on previous week) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG58idb6HuA [14:58:45] YouTube - Does Planet Nine Exist? Featuring Dr. Konstanin Batygin [15:00:43] maybe it was. seems somebody related to the guy died [15:00:56] (who makes the videos) [20:10:53] scott [20:13:18] hah i didnt know there was a virgin galactic flight yesterday [20:14:10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EczI8K1HsiM [20:14:10] YouTube - VSS Unity’s First Passenger [20:17:07] hehe, revive respwn++ https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1099125172257185792 [20:17:07] <✔elonmusk> Respawn++ https://t.co/MLAGk38Lkk [20:28:50] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: We will bury them! [20:29:38] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders how many stars there are in this photo https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1902/heic1901aTriangulum.jpg [20:29:38] what if they want to live? [20:29:48] Althego: Then my Heavy Tanks will bury them alive. [20:32:18] Action: Scolar_Visari runs over Allied rocket troopers. [20:36:29] Today I read an op-ed which used described a fringe group as having politics beyond the Kuiper Belt. [20:36:46] I wonder how many people understood that. [20:37:27] i dont :) [20:38:31] Action: Scolar_Visari would've also accepted Beyond the Oort Cloud. [20:38:36] wjat scott didnt mention there is also an electron rocket waiting for launchj [20:38:56] bveyond the oort cloud would mean an other solar system [20:39:08] beyond the kuiper belt means only just far out [21:29:50] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186471202357249/548979770730217500/DSC_0765.JPG [22:08:17] Nice cooling ribs :). [22:15:37] the mockup engine is on the bell of the motor so it will spin too, will look nice
