[00:55:58] i don't think there's a shortage of things to put on keys [02:21:35] I just started a new game and Jeb got a chute with his second star. [02:22:28] Is that rare? [02:22:40] I guess it's normal. [02:22:52] Documentation says chute with 3 stars. [02:23:01] But Jeb ... [02:23:16] Maybe the othere initial crew, too. [02:24:28] Ohh, he has a chute with 1 star, too. [02:27:57] Hmm, but only after planting a flag on the Mun. Orbit around Kerbin gives 1 star, but no chute. [02:28:32] thats weird :o [02:28:38] mhm [02:41:08] i just checked, and Bill also has a chute with 2 stars [03:09:51] so I've got a 25 ton craft heading towards Duna... how low can I go for aerobraking, do you reckon? [03:10:54] whats it look like? [03:12:27] https://i.imgur.com/AotA7WZ.png [03:13:14] hmmm. its been so long. 30km? [03:13:38] so, i actually managed to touch down on minimus with this wobbly thingie [03:13:59] https://youtu.be/8_hJ48LCXWs [03:13:59] YouTube - Echo - Landing Test #1 [03:16:03] turns out sr. docking ports aren't as rigid as i thought [03:17:35] also, this spot isn't nearly as sunny as i had hoped [03:19:33] what would be better, going in sideways at 30 km or going in butt first at 15 km? [03:23:44] not sure [03:24:22] why can you not give me the exact answers I am looking for! this has been a huge disappointment. [03:24:31] lol. sorry [03:24:46] i'll make a quicksave when i enter the system and try some stuff out :P [03:25:39] let me know [03:25:59] it'll be a few days before I get there, i have other missions before i can timewarp [04:38:42] i would like to help you, but i have never been to duna myself [13:08:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:09:27] https://i.redd.it/bwqt9m8duau11.jpg [13:09:51] I wanna scream OUT at you [15:10:40] Action: darsie misses 13.8 m/s to orbit.

[15:23:08] it didn't sound harmless [15:23:14] You planted a flag on Mun and it exploded? [15:23:22] good, you dont need to take it down then [15:23:41] on minimus [15:23:48] Althego: it's harmless a long as you are not a flag. [15:24:27] previous time was on mun [15:26:12] Houston, we have a problem [15:27:39] now, i assembled my minimus base at the pole, but it's not at a place where it gets sunlight all "day" [15:28:10] and i don't think i brought enough parts to build a "tower" [15:30:46] lol, I fell into a lake: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot7.png [15:32:17] how is that part still so hot? [15:32:52] It got hot during reentry. [15:32:58] have the spambots come back? [15:33:20] hehe go and cool down in that lake :) [15:33:20] Eddi|zuHause: The thermal model has skin and body and heat transfer, which takes time. [15:34:30] i'm certainly no expert on reentry, but my parts never were hot by the time i touched down [15:34:57] in the atmosphere somewhere betewen 30-50km yes [15:59:30] I'm a minimalist. I omitted the heat shield and braked normal. Later I turned the rocket to a positive angle of attack to get some lift. [16:01:27] me too.

[18:01:31] he does more than just make videos.. :P [18:01:43] skye and orion [18:06:12] how many years between fast food and supersizing your mcdonalds order <-- i remember about 20 years ago, mcdonalds menus came in two sizes: "normal" and "big", and now they come in "normal" (formerly big) and "small" (formerly normal) [18:06:37] hehe [18:07:24] otherwise, probably this applies https://xkcd.com/1940/ [18:07:58] (this vaguely resembles the act of zooming into a fractal) [18:08:56] (in a fractal, if you want to zoom in to get the lowest line in a better resolution, a new lowest line spawns) [18:09:52] mcd was small, medium, and large 35 years ago here [18:10:16] or was it regular [18:10:34] damn now I'm second guessing. [18:10:38] i abstracted away the actual names, they are not relevant [18:10:55] the point is that "default" was different [18:11:06] they are to me - have you ever heard of going off on a tangent! [18:11:40] also, they stopped listing the individual burgers, and only sow the "menu" stuff [18:11:47] *show [18:12:03] I'm sure they've improved at some point because it was abysmal the last time I visited [18:12:19] forgot who.. but super sized coffee...

[18:15:06] well eject is a perfectly valid word, spelling wise :p [18:15:16] it's not a semantics check :p [18:15:47] also in a ' [18:15:59] 'bit of a mood' for some reason [18:16:30] me too. I blame a mild cold that makes me feel half asleep and loopy [18:17:34] fighting in my sleep... I don't get why I keep waking up on my back, despite whatever way I lay when I doze off.

[18:21:11] according to some store chains, it is :) [18:21:52] half the time, my back ends up sore because of it <-- you might need a harder surface to sleep on, so your body can move more easily while asleep [18:22:31] would zero G help or make it worse [18:22:34] move more easily? pour oil on the bed [18:22:34] if you "sink in" too much while laying down, your body needs more force to change positions [18:22:39] use klingon beds [18:22:54] and staying in the same position for too long causes sore backs [18:24:00] i like the new stayputnik. i want more shiny parts [18:24:27] Althego: Do you also have weird surfaces on parts? [18:24:27] i've seen it in the menu, not felt the need to use it though [18:24:40] Mine are some sort of shiny black.

[18:30:30] You were a pet? [18:30:47] I brought him up into the loft bed during the nights. It was fine, till he started deciding to jump down. nearly broke a leg [18:30:51] positron emission tomograph? [18:31:00] there are government offices you can reach out to if you are kept like a pet.

[19:00:50] Action: hoglahoo twitches [19:01:33] anyway, what use is a station in that high orbit? [19:02:45] https://bobbiblogger.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/nazi.jpg [19:02:51] grammar one that is [19:03:06] nice url [19:03:19] brings back war memories [19:03:39] i feel way more offended by people that say "grammar nazi" than people that use wrong grammar [19:04:21] Eddi|zuHause: that's where i left the asteroid and it's so cumbersome to move it, so moved the station there [19:07:55] I know, belated, geo stationary kerbal orbit is 2863.33km...... [19:09:11] old old dos space sim thing, which I still have, starting situation places you in stupid high orbit around Earth with a rotating space station... [19:09:50] which one? [19:10:05] also being offended is silly. the ward nazi does not offend me [19:10:36] was simply called SpaceSim [19:16:20] Althego: maybe you're not german enough :p [19:17:31] obviously [19:17:51] that is detrimental to higher cognitive function :) [19:18:06] (based on the narrow selection of germans i met) [19:19:35] whoa! [19:19:54] das ist nicht nett! [19:20:57] may be, but i have 8 years worth of experiences with them, and yes, germans were not "nett" [19:21:40] i've liked every german i've ever met [19:21:47] although i've mostly met homeless people [19:24:56] actual reason might have been company culture [19:25:05] Germans, and probably been a certain Scott, love your beer right? Herer's something that'll make your life a little easier: https://imgur.com/gallery/YhFojp2 [19:25:36] because the handful of people who were possible to wrok with, all left the company before me. and finally when i got fed up with all the issues i left too [19:45:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:55:45] alright... lander underway to minmus, gotta comb the whole place for seismic activity [20:02:04] looks like soon nasa will stop trying to contact opportunity :( [20:02:18] she had a nice run [20:02:30] indeed [20:11:03] All good things have to end one day. [20:12:02] when's the next mars window?

It's an interesting drive. [20:17:36] it feels to me as a duty for conscious living beings to look for other life [20:18:30] Eh, given the way starshade missions get pushed back& [20:19:23] Why do we think that way? Exploration links back to curiosity, which is a natural and very reasonable thing. But what makes us look for other life? It's not just curiosity, is it? What natural instinct is that? [20:19:53] maybe its emergent behavior XD [20:20:18] I read that as 'emergency behavior' [20:21:20] i.imgur.com/dvbugkh.png [20:22:04] deep sea stuff is also very interesting. i want to find the ancient crab civilizations [20:22:29] spongebob is a documentary [20:22:40] *points at you* [20:29:58] i feel like we should just send a couple of people there - build the stuff already, get some volunteers, just go there, it'll be fine lol [20:30:08] APlayer: LOL [20:38:13] oceans are surprisingly hard to explore. the rock below even more so [20:40:13] Germans, and probably been a certain Scott, love your beer right? Herer's something that'll make your life a little easier: https://imgur.com/gallery/YhFojp2 <-- that is way too elaborated. the average german can use any simple tool to open a beer: http://stuff.twoday.net/ [20:44:00] I once had a classmate. Legend has it that he was at a party one day, and in an incredibly stupid act of boast claimed to be able to open his beer with his mobile phone (they had touch screens at that time already). An important extra information is that the phone was barely two weeks old. Needless to say, that was the final age it achieved. [20:44:28] (I live in the south of Germany, quite close to Bavaria) [20:45:42] by far the most common way to open a beer is with another beer [20:46:34] at least that is way more likely to be in reach than an actual bottle opener [20:48:42] Life problems :P [21:48:25] I have questions https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2026/1685800834_fb59910ab1.jpg [21:49:31] I don't have answers [21:52:21] UmbralRaptop, maybe they just have massive truck underframes laying around everywhere in russia and don't know what to do with them [21:53:24] I mean who would not build a road locomotive if they had the parts laying around unused in their backyard [21:56:23] if you regularly drink decent beer that doesnt come with a twist off, you should have a bottle opener on your keychain :P [21:56:43] or be able to open with a lighter [21:57:44] man that is an old pic [21:58:55] As long as the truck isn't a converted RSD-10 launcher, or something [21:59:45] i don't think you find a "truck body" to fit a locomotive on, they probably just switched the wheels, and hopefully added some steering [22:01:58] i mean, that kind of locomotive weighs 120-ish tons [22:02:48] (and even if it's just the frame and they took everything else out, it'll still be heavier than an average truck) [22:06:54] you can't just "switch the wheels" to put a locomotive on a road [22:07:21] https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2005/1881583549_ca6bcae9be.jpg not sure but seems like the same vehicle [22:08:28] no, that one only has 5 axles [22:09:59] " This railroad marvel has DM62 locomotive engine set on top of ballistic rocket mobile wheeled base "Hurricane". It was built not too long ago, in 2002 by the students of VNIKTI institute in Bronnitsy, Russia." [22:15:30] "The M62 wheeled locomotive was actually a thing, too, not just a Spintires mod. Two of these were made by putting a Teplov M62 locomotive on an MaZ 12x12 chassis, neither of which worked. One had hydraulic issues and was scrapped, the other one is parked outside of a museum in Moscow. These were meant as large-scale, mobile industrial genorators." [22:47:45] well, you can certainly take the wheels off a locomotive, and just have an empty space to work with [22:48:19] "the wheels" being the entire lower section [22:48:28] including the electric motors [22:49:17] still, you won't just find a truck body to put under it [23:32:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
