Getting close up lets me take some image… https://t.co/OzKORhWXhu [13:56:58] Challenge: Get to orbit without fuel fully reusably. [13:57:41] Should be easy on Gilly. [13:57:51] hehe [13:58:01] the without fuel part makes it a bit hard [14:05:52] does EC count as fuel? [14:07:49] how would that convert into thrust? putting all energy into the launch won't lift your orbit clear of the surface on its own [14:08:13] maybe catapult a craft from Gilly's surface into an Eve slingshot? [14:10:38] oh, wait, I see. I had the reference wrong. Of course you could launch from Gilly and not encounter its surface on the return to the launch point because Gilly would have moved [14:11:09] Eddi|zuHause: no [14:11:33] you'd need to escape Gilly on launch which should be easy enough [14:13:46] and the craft would still crash the next time the moon comes around [14:14:37] eep? [14:15:35] hi [14:16:08] for game in italian lenguage? [14:16:19] Well, launching would not be too hard, but landing and reusing would be quite tricky. [14:16:28] hi Guest29257 [14:16:47] Guest29257: Type /nick Mario29257 [14:17:21] lol [14:17:28] Hi Mario29257 :) [14:17:59] anyway [14:18:06] yo [14:18:14] idk about KSP language settings. [14:18:23] ok [14:18:24] My English is good enough. [14:18:29] darsie landing and reusing in which respect, sorry? [14:18:47] JVFoxy: Challenge: Get to orbit without fuel fully reusably. [14:18:51] e.g. on Gilly [14:19:29] I guess a lot of KSP puns are non translatable. [14:20:54] hmm.. [14:21:16] wasn't sure if you meant relaunching SSTO from Kerbin, skipping the refueling part [14:22:38] actually, something I did in early version KSP, rather unintentional.. command seat plane and was before heating effects [14:23:04] in early versions you could go supersonic just with the control surafces [14:26:28] lol.. oh right. the 'waggle' ships [14:26:48] in fact i had trouble landing in some cases because of that [14:31:05] ya.. then it became level-0 landing wheels blowing up if you so much as breathed on them [14:33:47] in ksp everything is made out of explosive. the difference is, those wheels were made of azidoazide azide [14:35:27] "Due to their behavior during the process of synthesis, it was obvious that the sensitivities (of these compounds) will be not less than extreme. . . [14:35:27] The sensitivity of C2N14 is beyond our capabilities of measurement. The smallest possible loadings in shock and friction tests led to explosive decomposition. . ." [14:38:48] well, Nitrogen desperately wants to be a gas. Shouldn't we just accept that on not try to force it into ever longer chains? [14:46:12] I thought the idea of steam powered cars was kind of neat. But, no, some say, its dangerous having a pressurized tank of steam and water that could blow up. Oh and having a tank of gas strapped to the back of a car isn't any more safer? [14:46:31] not exactly the same [14:47:06] I typed echo hot tea >/dev/random and then this happened: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot274.png [14:47:20] It depends on details? Also, you still need to heat the steam [14:51:11] the other thing too is, boiler vs steam generator... first one you have a massive tank of water trying to heat up. Second, is just a little bit, which flash boils [14:51:55] Wind-up cars are the future ;) [14:52:40] and true you do need a fuel source for heating, but you can use basically a heavy oil, which isn't quite as potentially explosive as gas used in cars [14:53:02] hehe the wind up train in syberia 1 and 2 [14:53:22] it always broke down a few meters from the next wind up station [14:53:23] packbart: I thought compressed air would have been cool. Its actually used in a few places for small people 'carts' on warehouse floors. [14:54:07] <_8> ù [14:54:14] ű [14:54:16] <_8> hi [14:55:36] <_8> if you see that your cursors are going crazy, know that I haven't hacked you [15:02:26] ü [15:02:47] Unicode allows for much silliness [15:06:57] ☃ [15:07:16] unicode snowman for you .com [15:09:19] consider: ☠☢☣☡ [15:09:28] "SSTO: Straight Shot To Ocean" [15:17:15] or so the flat earthers say [15:24:17] if it such a flat earth, wouldn't going to space be easy? Just fly off the edge [15:24:33] Fall off [15:25:02] no because you hit the dome [15:25:06] Or see what engine powers Earth to provide artificial gravity. [15:25:33] there is n o gravity [15:26:01] That's why Earth is accelerated. [15:26:01] they say it is buoyancy and density lol [15:28:24] How did Reinhold Messner get from one side of the Antarctic to the other on foot? [15:28:38] Didn't happen? [15:28:43] yes [15:28:57] nobody cross or flew over the south pole [15:29:31] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:29:57] dome huh? how convenient.. [15:32:23] these people are so dumb, they see videos from yo yo despin rockets and they say it hit the dome [15:33:14] Action: darsie cheated out of a contract: Measure temperature on Gilly below 7000 km etc. 4x. Forgot it was below and took the contract, but that's too slow. [15:33:23] 1x acceleration <8000 km. [15:33:45] Althego: lol [15:34:11] I thought a yoyo despin video was fake when I first saw it. [15:34:18] don't know about 'dumb'.. the fact they are so hard set on something, nothing will change their mind is actually a little scary [15:34:38] I was on maintenance detail for the northern star spotlights on The Dome for 6 months. Boy, what a crummy job. Those things are hot and they fail every other night. [15:34:54] hehe [15:35:55] twinkle twinkle little star.. wait what? :P [15:36:18] the frog leap studios version :) [15:36:20] come to think of it... ever read Steal Beach? [15:36:40] ... *steal beach, by John Varley I believe [15:38:32] Humanity ended up living on the moon, spaces carved out under the surface. Something about aliens making it so we couldn't be on Earth. [15:39:04] Any case.. dome there, big sun on tracks. sorta of a play on the whole 'flat earth' I suppose... [15:39:54] the VAB music reminds me that I was going to build Ninja Base into a multi-moon hopper thingy. Replace one lab with an ISRU converter, add a drill and larger tanks, rejiggle some weights. [15:40:29] so it can land on the Mun and on Minmus, then get on its way to Duna. I've got contracts to fulfill [15:40:32] heh.. jiggling weights [15:44:50] Their explanation is not as far-fetched as it seems. After all, the "d" in "despin" obviously stands for "dome" [15:46:29] And as for star twinkle, that is caused by atmospheric turbulences. As the air moves, the areas of varying pressure and density cause the tent-like dome structure to move with them, which is the main cause of twinkling stars [15:50:09] oh don't get me started on that stupid flexible design. It's not easy to build high-current connectors that withstand the push-pull motions. Even then, *THEY* had to skimp on costs, of course, and buy the cheapest plugs they could get (think coax connectors, just with meter-size diameters) [15:50:31] most of the aurora lights we see are just arcing in the starlight wiring [16:00:46] if you see that your cursors are going crazy, know that I haven't hacked you [16:03:59] .... saturday crazies? [16:29:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:30:36] I guess [16:31:50] same hostmask anyway [16:31:54] gotta go play in traffic... enough crazy for me to deal with...
