[00:22:43] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:55:59] well well, what do you know, electron launch in less than 24 hours. maybe they do it now [08:28:54] There are quiet few launches these days [08:29:13] I understand why SpaceX does Starlink. Because otherwise they have nothing to do... [08:39:14] hehe [08:39:24] it seems towards the end of the year there are less launches [08:39:45] they do starlink to ultimately generate money as an isp for mars exploration [08:41:26] and to have a reason to relaunch rockets :D [08:41:50] With their rapid reusability they have no competition on the market [08:42:49] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_Heavy_launches#Launch_sites [08:42:55] there were really fewer launches this year [08:43:07] and next year will be one third of their launches for starlink... [11:48:11] i dont get it. they are cheap reliable, why arent there more launches [11:48:29] very little action from falcon heavy. also the cheapest in its category [11:48:40] and they could never recover the core booster [11:50:26] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [11:50:38] Arianespace doesn't seem very concernced for the future of their Expendable Launch Vehicles [11:51:59] chanlogs [12:48:27] Althego: well, there's not a huge market for launches to begin with. Then there are the European companies that can launch with the tax-funded Ariane 5 [12:49:03] (even though nobody likes to talk about the fact that it's too expensive and all of the development was done with tax money) [12:49:12] wait, i tax fund rich people's hobbies? [12:49:21] (not saying that using tax money for space exploration is bad) [12:49:38] Uh, yes you do [12:49:47] all the time [17:36:50] that awkward feeling when you encounter a small class A asteroid with 20000t mass and realize that you have real asteroids somewhere in your gamedata [17:38:03] oops [18:13:44] hmm [18:13:56] How are they real? [18:17:40] stock class A asteroid would be ~5t average [18:19:55] So real class A asteroids are 20,000 t? [18:25:23] a 10 m diameter sphere with a density of 2000 kg/m³ would mass 1047 tonnes, so maybe [18:26:01] stock asteroids are made of aerogel (~0.03g/cm^3), and are too small to realistically detect [18:27:23] ic [18:27:27] this modded class A is roughly the size of Chelyabinsk Meteor [19:11:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+vo lol768 TheKosmonaut ' by anarchy.esper.net [19:53:19] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio_' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:22:29] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
