All your floating points float off into the sunset and are never seen again. [04:23:46] <Rolf> man pop tanks is powerful [04:24:44] <Althego> lol floating points [04:35:04] <raptop> IEEE 754 ominously floating point [06:14:47] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:42:09] <Althego> lot of videos in queue. after the hootle whatever there was an ender dragon and now comes ollie and chess [07:46:19] <Althego> and finally what did irys do in doom some days ago [11:03:30] <FLHerne> Would ARCAspace get better Isp by using soda instead of water? [11:03:44] <FLHerne> not that it would help [11:04:09] <Althego> hehe [11:04:39] <Althego> if they used sodafunk, maybe a hololive meme powered rocket could beat chemical rockets [11:17:21] <Eddi|zuHause> it's essentially like compressed gas, right? [11:17:33] <Eddi|zuHause> or are you burning the sugar? [11:20:04] <Althego> it depends on what you mean by soda. just carbonated water, or carbonated soft drink (with sugar usualyl) [11:21:11] <Eddi|zuHause> it said "soda pop", which i assume is carbonated soft drink [12:42:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:48:02] <darsie> unambiguously [13:01:07] <Althego> wah [13:01:28] <Althego> ah that. it was so long ago that i forgot it happened [13:02:31] <darsie> topic [13:02:44] <Althego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kca3Y8XUK1c [13:12:00] <Althego> in about 3 hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kca3Y8XUK1c [13:18:34] <darsie> You changed unambigiously to unambigiously.

[13:43:45] <Althego> Dread Pirate Bezos unambiguously reaches space (but FAA may contest wings) [13:44:12] <Mat2ch> What does the FAA now have problems with?

[20:17:29] <raptop> darsie: congratulations on your new Clipper! [20:17:45] Action: darsie dumps his old nail clipper. [20:20:36] <Althego> is the falcon heavy good enough for this? [20:23:24] <raptop> Apparently [20:25:55] <darsie> I think all this "search for life" missions is to sell it to the public and maybe politicians. [20:26:22] <umaxtu> wow, only $178 million? [20:26:29] <darsie> For the launch. [20:26:46] <darsie> F9 is 60ish million. [20:27:11] <raptop> Finding out if there's life on "ocean worlds" is a goal (though it's more broadly, "what are their interiors like?") [20:27:22] <darsie> It's great seein FH getting used again. [20:27:28] <umaxtu> isn't it a fully expendable FG? [20:27:35] <umaxtu> *FH [20:27:52] <darsie> I mean seeing another FH launch. [20:28:04] <darsie> Seems like a flop to me. [21:38:45] <Mat2ch> 2024, Falcon Heavy. [21:38:54] <Mat2ch> I wonder if this might get rescheduled to a Starship. [21:40:30] <umaxtu> doubtful [21:41:32] <Althego> the payload is designed to a specific launch vehicle [21:47:28] <raptop> Usually [21:47:31] <raptop> It's complicated [21:48:21] <raptop> (see: eg: Titan IV carrying some STS payloads. And I want to say that GPS type satellites have ended up on a lot of different launchers) [21:49:16] <FLHerne> Mat2ch: No way, Clipper is too expensive for that [21:50:04] <Althego> starship doesnt have that much delta v by itself without refueling [21:50:45] <raptop> Goresat amusingly enough launched on a rocket family that didn't exist when it was completed [22:00:46] <umaxtu> starship doesn't make sense in my head for launching interplanetary probes [22:02:18] <raptop> Consider: Starship launching a Centaur [22:03:05] <FLHerne> we had this the other day [22:03:25] <FLHerne> you can consider Starship launching six Centaurs and a reasonably sized payload [22:03:30] <FLHerne> mass-wise at least [22:03:44] <NGC3982> it's so cool congress actually gave 178 million dollars to launch darsie to europa [22:04:11] <darsie> me? [22:04:26] <darsie> Ich bin doch schon in Europa. [22:04:42] <Althego> hehe [22:04:46] <Althego> the other europa :) [22:04:56] <darsie> Oh, that's cool. [22:05:01] <darsie> The cool Europa. [22:05:12] <Althego> too bad a human would die on the surface because of the radiation [22:05:17] <darsie> No worries about global warming ... [22:05:48] <raptop> No atmosphere == no greenhouse effect [22:12:12] <Mat2ch> Well, Starship launches the upper stage of an F9 and the sat into orbit. ;) [22:41:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:42:13] <NGC3982> why is my life like this [22:42:25] <NGC3982> i have spent all evening getting four kerbals and a rover to eeloo [22:42:35] <NGC3982> finally reached it [22:42:48] <NGC3982> about to deploy science experiments on both poles and lowlands [22:42:51] <NGC3982> four pilots [22:44:05] <Althego> hehe
