[00:05:09] Action: darsie grabbed a comet: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot69.png [00:08:01] That's so silly how easily I can turn that comet with the small RW. [00:11:15] LOL http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot72.png [00:14:04] How do I return a sample from a comet? With a Kerbal floating nearby? Or on a ladder on a ship grabbing the comet? [00:14:23] Or some ore? [00:15:13] The contract description is so vague :). [00:15:41] Land the comet at KSC? [00:18:18] :) [00:18:41] One more oops: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot73.png [00:26:25] That seems a bit soon [00:37:32] surface samples, like with asteroids. in stock, only floating Kerbals can take it [00:37:53] Comets have 4 types vs the only type of asteroids [00:42:04] nice [00:43:45] "Renaming a comet allows duplicate surface samples to get full science credit." - interesting bug [00:44:40] the "Test test test test" is in KSP_Data/sharedassets5.assets but I didn't see a bug report for it. maybe darsie's just more lucky than others ;) [00:45:02] my career doesn't have comets, yet (I should finally upgrade the Tracking Station) [00:51:07] Ahh, that's how: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot74.png [00:52:13] ooh, comets can break up on reentry. I'll have to see that [00:52:34] I was hoping for a tail. Maybe if it gets closer to the Sun. [00:53:25] don't rename the comet before taking a sample, otherwise the contract won't fulfil (it tracks the name, not the ID. that's another bug report) [00:55:12] Yep, needs more heat for the tail. [00:58:57] thx [00:59:25] gn [04:15:45] Hola [04:15:47] ?? [04:16:02] Alguien español🤣🤣 [04:16:22] whatever [04:17:02] Hola?? [04:17:54] what, there is a stream? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZMAj2aH37g&feature=youtu.be [04:17:55] YouTube - Tianwen-1 Mars Launch Live Stream [04:19:31] there is an other one with everyday astronaut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG2t5FgALSs [04:19:31] YouTube - Watch China launch their first mission to Mars on their Long March 5! [04:42:18] maybe no launch afterall [04:42:29] launch! [04:42:31] oh wait, something is happening [04:47:12] things can still go wrong. remember phobos grunt [04:47:38] but if everything is ok, we still need to wait like half a year [04:58:41] I hope it lands and goes well. Even if they swipe the US’s animations for their landing videos [05:00:13] also the hero arrives last, so we dont even know the launch date of perseverance and ingnuity [13:24:01] https://i.imgur.com/xvOzIkw.jpg [13:25:19] :) [13:25:28] Is that a joke? [13:25:44] Or rather, is that serious? [13:29:48] missing the jpeg artifacts around the oracée middle part [13:29:58] also visible in the enlarged part [13:30:11] so probably it is ashop [14:16:26] oh i almost forgot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg [14:16:26] YouTube - NASA Live: Official Stream of NASA TV [14:16:32] progress launch [14:16:47] in 10 minutes [14:17:41] ah, thanks. also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIKuYMKfoJI [14:17:42] YouTube - Progress MS-15 Launch [14:17:50] "This is a restream of NASA TV's official broadcast, along with additional informational overlays on top of the original broadcast." [14:19:12] i would not drink pounds of water :) [14:23:20] and another, so we have 3 differen countdown clocks ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTYea1583Bw [14:23:20] YouTube - Запуск грузового корабля «Прогресс МС-15» к МКС [14:23:38] the nasa tv stream is probably already behind reality [14:24:08] yeah and the LC123 seems to be a restream of both? [14:25:02] i guess the roskosmos tv thing is the most authentic [14:25:48] I should have taken russian language classes in school instead of french ;) [14:26:04] at one time i seriously considered learning russian because of space things [14:26:11] i even started it [14:26:15] but then i changed jobs [14:26:30] maybe i should really start it now [14:27:11] in the roskomsos stream, the clock lower right and on the board behind them disagree [14:27:27] hehe [14:27:30] yes it is funny [14:28:02] but the american didnt have a counter [14:28:05] just the announcer [14:28:40] they don't even have the telemetry overlay [14:29:29] and as it turned out during the soyuz abort, that the overlay was preprogrammed and not live :) [14:29:50] a ride on the soyuz with external cams [14:30:07] unless that's also preprogrammed ;) [14:30:08] but they are not up to spacex standards yet :) [14:31:47] ooh, ReStock [14:32:14] did the americans get a worse animation? [14:32:17] KSP can do this simulation, too [14:32:46] looks different, indeed [14:35:36] yes, as he said, it is stable. in previous launches there was an annoying oscilaltion, and it was also visible for the soyuz, not only for the progress [14:39:28] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:41:43] wait, what? 2 hours to rendezvous? [14:41:51] that is the normal fast track [14:42:04] I thought the fast track was 6 hours. I must update my memory [14:42:05] the slow way is something like 2 days [14:42:14] hmm, maybe it was 6 hours? [14:42:54] or maybe I didn't quite get what the PAO said, I wasn't paying attention [14:43:54] oh, right, I can rewind the stream [14:44:04] too bad you cant forward it :) [14:44:16] Instant Video! [14:45:32] "we will be back in 2:20h for live coverage of the rendezvous" - no, I heard it right. nice.

[19:51:55] it is really hard not to make into orbit on first launch [19:52:06] if you collect enoughscience from aroun the space center [19:52:51] but then you still dont have eva so you cant easily collect the flying low high in space low high goo and bay science [19:53:14] so because of this i choose a hop first [19:53:20] I usually do a quick jump with SRB as my first flight [19:53:46] once I get EVA, dual pods a craft, get it to hover, pop the second person out to get eva while in flight ;P [19:53:52] oh no, event horizon [19:53:54] A Quantum Beginning for a Two-Sided Universe with Dr. Neil Turok [19:53:57] sounds awesome [19:54:03] but i have to go to bed [19:54:24] multi-verse is a go! [19:54:43] turok dinosaur hunter :) [19:55:09] Turok.. Tuvok.. eh well [19:55:34] Yeah, the swivel is all you need to get into orbit [19:56:56] I use a pair for the first stage. A single for the second. I would say like Gemini but I stay connected to the second in order to do re-entry burn [21:21:12] good thing I don't plan on working for FLOOYD Dynamics.. people there known to take our ideas, demote you, who knows what else..
