[09:16:34] everything [09:16:45] has your cat been confused recently? [11:36:14] 1337 [12:12:00] kikkerikii [12:12:03] glory to takamori [12:12:25] . [12:12:41] What did takamori do?

[14:39:10] :D [14:39:52] hehe [14:42:37] part of history [14:43:20] gotta rake in that superchat money [15:15:04] funny, they have problems unbolting the segment from the transporter. :D [15:16:52] Action: flayer tickles Mat2ch [15:17:59] No! [15:18:11] No tickeling! [15:55:53] aaaaaand liftoff! [15:58:57] well, short lift off. Now cutting through a bolt... [16:01:26] should've used NASA's frangible nuts [16:02:11] oh no [16:02:18] SN 15 might go back to the build site :( [16:04:40] not surprised, they probably don't want to slow down construction by evacuating the site [16:05:06] but what about SN 16 then? [16:06:40] Action: umaxtu shrugs [16:58:52] How much payload will the orbital SS test have? [17:00:46] wrong chan ... [17:01:13] hehe wrong-chan, what a character [17:01:27] Frankenstein was the mad scientist. His creation was the "monster". [17:03:05] Why not both? (CW: Lovecraft) https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Cool_Air [17:34:12] darsie: nobody knows what they will use as payload or if any. [17:34:17] It's SpaceX afterall.

[20:45:02] PhD? MD? [20:46:06] Wernher? [21:19:51] "enableGroundStations = False" toggles the extra ground relay stations, correct? [21:20:02] I want to make it harder by disabling those [21:24:37] It might, though that's also a difficulty setting when starting a new game [21:27:54] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/(33434)_Scottmanley [21:29:57] Hm, main-belt asteroid, so as far as Earth is concerned, it flies safe [21:30:42] raptop, I was going through the advanced difficulty settings when I made this save and I didn't see it [21:45:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:51:46] weird [21:52:05] I know I've seen extra comm-net stations mentioned somewhere in there [22:04:32] Wait, you have a mod beeper now? [22:05:04] the modcall thing? Yeah, though I know that the bots have had issues in the past [22:05:16] When do bots not have issues? [22:05:37] I guess you could go to their github pages and mark all the issues as resolved >_> [22:06:24] Speaking of raptors; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9WTpGFlas4 [22:06:45] SN15's Raptors seem to need replaced. [22:08:30] hrm [22:08:44] The shielding scheme still seems optimistic. [22:09:47] And I wish more people would understand that there's a lot more to getting to Mars than just getting into orbit. You know, like completing a life support system that will last at least a thousand days. [22:11:10] Action: raptop assumes that Solar_Oracle encountered someone taking an overly reductive approach to that Heinlein quote [22:11:46] Yeah, you're halfway to anywhere. Assuming, that is, that the delta-v to get to wherever you're going and brake is equal to Earth escape velocity. [22:12:45] I think people tend to assume that, once you have the launch vehicle, that's it. [22:13:05] Ignoring that the Saturn V was, what, about just 10% of the total Apollo program cost? [22:13:59] Closer to 15% upon review, but still. [22:14:11] I can't say that I know the cost breakdown, but either way [22:14:51] And sure, Starship's shielding is resistant to impacts, but that's not really much of a concern in its configuration as it was for the Shuttles and it introduces a new catastrophic failure mode. [22:16:32] Unless they changed it. Again. [22:22:27] Three years to Axiom though, maybe? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPn_nx2XUAE7Kef?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 [22:25:34] I have, uh, extreme doubts [22:25:39] Action: raptop presses X repeatedly [22:27:54] Honestly, adding ten years to anything involving spaceflight R&D seems to be right. [22:29:38] Yeah. Though also, companies can just die. (eg: Bigelow) [22:30:20] Solar_Oracle: To be fair, that Δv approximation is about right for most interesting places in the solar system, if you're not in too much of a hurry :p [22:30:34] aerobraking at the other end can help [22:31:08] Jupiter is the most interesting place in the Solar System. [22:31:32] Well, you don't want to visit Jupiter proper [22:32:03] Where else am I supposed to install an evil lair in an active volcano? [22:32:16] If it's good enough for Jules Pierre Mao, it's good enough for us all. [22:32:33] ...I guess Io is a very thematically appropriate location [22:32:57] And, to be frank, the delta-v trick only seems to work for Venus, Mars and maybe the Belt. The former is not worth visiting unless you can tolerate melting to death. [22:33:25] And since they're closer, transfer windows are more infrequent. [22:36:27] The second most interesting place is also Saturn. [22:36:52] Followed by Disney World in third. [22:37:44] Giving the mouse ideas? [22:38:47] raptop: Axiom are building hardware for their cupola thing [22:39:33] Solar_Oracle: You can do the atmospheric balloon thing [22:39:54] I'm not entirely sure what the point is, but it's a thing you can do [22:40:46] FLHerne: huh, I was expecting them to be a scam [22:42:15] The balloon thing's always been kind of silly. At least a Mars could be built from local materials, and you cant do stuff on Mars. [22:42:20] Uh, can do stuff. [22:42:44] What can you do on Venus? Unless you put up a Tibanna gas refinery and casino, absolutely nothing. [22:45:00] Action: raptop was amused [22:45:43] This is why I never got fired as a travel agent for Venus Airlines. [22:45:54] No one bothered showing up anyway. [22:47:33] Now I'm imaginging a future scandal about aerial casinos and if tethered dirigibles count [22:47:44] (compare with riverboat vs puddlebot casinos) [22:49:08] Or just do what Cowboy Bebop did and make a giant Roulette wheel into a space casino http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l9_M3jYn25I/SSTKyXL-dPI/AAAAAAAAD9Q/uOnUO3_2dhk/s320/casino%20station.JPG [22:49:16] The whole floating cities thing really feels like it handwaves ΔV among other things in a way that habitats on the Moon/Mars do not [22:49:38] Landing and takeoff would also be kind of a pain, since you can't exactly make decent fuel out of carbon-dioxide alone. [22:49:55] And you'd also need a stable platform to land on. Unless you lithobrake. [22:50:37] So you'd essentially be shipping in enough propellant for every launch, and it'd be nearly as much propellant per launch as it is for Earth right now. [22:52:04] If you want a real space casino, just way for travel to Saturn to happen and put a giant resort hotel in a close, highly inclined orbit. [22:52:44] At least people will have something to look at as they ponder how little money they have left for the penny slots after having spent a billion dollars getting there. [22:53:12] Action: raptop eyes Iapetus' inclination https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Saturnmoonsdiagram.png [22:57:09] Yeah, but it's far away. That's for the entry-level guests who couldn't afford the scrip needed to get the closer views. [22:57:47] hm [22:58:29] I'd say a close orbit to Jupiter would be better, but we're not to the point where vict- I mean patrons won't die from turbo radiation yet. [22:58:59] Or that could be part of the appeal. "Jovian Resort. You'll die to go there!" [23:02:55] hah [23:04:47] Huh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCbgqM4CuOs
