[08:15:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:35:36] one moment you have 0 interplanetary flights, the next moment you have 9 [09:42:26] Did you have a satellite/orbital debris collision? [09:43:09] no, just launched 1,000,000 million worth of kredits [09:43:30] more like 1,500,000 tbh [09:53:51] yay :) [09:54:03] Action: darsie knows how to make VF fast :). [10:04:40] i just launched the 3 ships one after the another into a solar orbit - 5-7 minutes apart, navigating by the sun [14:52:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:05:34] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:28:04] burnt off the full ablator (500 units) with aerobraking [16:34:23] sweet, sweet science and contracts [18:18:07] flayer: Why didn't you dive deeper? [18:18:28] boom [18:18:54] Where? [18:21:35] at 3300ms and about 45 km [18:21:49] i think [18:25:00] Kerbin [18:25:41] Not Jool or Eve. [18:27:46] i'm playing with 120% heat and all the things on (pressure, etc) [18:44:03] scott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHV14Tc2Jmw [18:44:03] YouTube - Why Did NASA's Head Of Human Spaceflight Resign Just Before Historic Launch? [19:04:50] Hrm [19:04:57] so he was indeed "fired". [19:05:31] How long did the burn last? [19:06:43] which, the falcon 9 static fire? few seconds [19:07:17] The burn of NASA's Head Of Human Spaceflight ;) [19:13:04] I said this a few hours ago in an unrelated conversation, it seems relevant... [19:13:07] in the French version of New Vegas the Burned Man is known as l'Homme brûlé [19:18:08] hah [20:28:45] i've got 4,5k dV in LKO. is that now good enough? [20:31:20] Where do you want to go today? [20:32:33] i've always wanted to land on Mun but i usually don't either have the TWR or the fuel needed [20:32:38] today it's twr, i'm afraid [20:32:50] oh right, this is a ssto spaceplane [20:34:00] ~3km/s should be enough. ~900 for the transfer, ~300 to capture, ~800 to land, ~600 to get back up, ~300 to return to Kerbin's atmosphere [20:34:53] spaceplane or not shouldn't matter much outside the atmosphere [20:35:24] Lugging those wings and airbreathing engines around? [20:36:07] if it's in the dV budget [20:36:29] I can't really comment much on planes. I like rockets ;) [20:37:37] Black_Eagle: Check the dv may linked to in the topic. [20:44:26] Musk's neighbours in Boca Chica are not amused if I read my twitters right. https://twitter.com/rachmonroe/status/1263496188982112256 [20:44:27] This is a thread about what it’s like to be Elon Musk’s neighbor. [20:44:29] "A sheriff’s deputy bangs on your door at 10pm and tells you there’s a rocket test that night between 3-4am" [20:52:35] 10 pm isn't that bad. Just take some of your sleeping aid stock :). [20:53:23] Does spacex compensate its neigbours for the nuisances? [20:58:27] yeah 4.5k is definitely enough but my twr isn't :P it's abysmal. i'm on 12 rapiers and 4 nukes [20:59:42] Build a ship for the Mun. [21:00:35] Black_Eagle: Kerbals can jetpack down to the Mun *or* back up to orbit. [21:00:56] Takes some skill, though. [21:01:39] Well, I guess it's quite tough. [21:01:41] like i said, i never get it right. it's either too low twr and enough fuel or the other way round [21:02:11] Even if you try to purpose build a ship for it? [21:17:05] Black_Eagle: If you don't mind the overkill and the minimalism, you could try https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Tutorial:Low_tech_Duna_sample_return [21:23:47] even if i try to [21:24:15] darsie that's a rocket [21:24:24] not a ssto space plane [21:25:42] Doesn't make much sense to send a space plane to the Mun. [21:28:22] but... but... i want to [21:29:57] ok :) [21:30:16] Try Kerbaforming it :). [21:40:00] more boosters? yes [22:01:08] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
