[03:36:06] <Althego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx5GjjCtcgo let's not forget the stream now
[03:38:29] <raptop> Yay, another octopus
[03:38:49] <Althego> hail hydra?
[03:41:55] <raptop> something like that
[03:42:55] <Althego> chadwik boseman (played black panther) died in cancer. 43. 
[03:43:18] <raptop> ow
[03:43:20] <Althego> he was already sick when tho movies were shot
[03:45:20] <umaxtu> Colon cancer is awful
[04:37:46] <Althego> hehe, the controversy. there is some kind of movement that the space force should use navy ranks, but currently uses air force ones
[04:39:06] <Althego> one side or the other will be really sour
[04:40:23] <Althego> u.n. spacy (from macross)
[04:46:55] <raptop> Obviously the solution is to use army ranks
[05:46:06] <Althego> stream started
[05:54:32] <umaxtu> looking at a delay. not necessarily a srub yet though
[06:43:30] <Althego> they should really launch now so that i can take a nap
[06:58:47] <Althego> hah permission to launch
[07:00:31] <Althego> or was that a joke?
[07:01:04] <Althego> yes they were trolling
[07:01:06] <Althego> damn them

[07:13:05] <kmath> <✔NASAInSight> Another short test has my self-hammering mole making gradual progress. Pressing down on the soil above has helped i… https://t.co/0dVwxuQuEd
[07:14:01] <raptop> 6e23 hammer blows later...
[07:22:05] <Althego> now the real status poll
[07:28:54] <Althego> nice fireball but abort
[07:29:12] <Althego> one time spacex this also happened to spacex. liftoff... but not
[08:50:51] <packbart> ah, good, I didn't miss anything ;)

[09:12:15] <kmath> <✔elonmusk> @tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @DJSnM Testing with shorter RVac skirt went well. Full length skirt test coming soon.
[09:12:23] <Althego> note the above infos
[09:12:40] <Althego> aiming for 250 T thrust raptors soon

[20:30:54] <FLHerne> There isn't some bug with nuclear engines that makes the craft pitch up uncontrollably when activated? It's annoying :p
[20:31:38] <FLHerne> Possibly it's that the craft is only stable before because the Whiplashes have thrust vectoring, and they fade out about the same time...
[20:33:52] <FLHerne> I've somehow created a plane where the CoM shifts forward as fuel drains, which is a bit odd
[20:37:42] <bees> do you even have reaction wheels?
[20:38:36] <FLHerne> Only the cockpit ones
[20:38:54] <FLHerne> It's a big craft and they're way off-centre, so probably negligible
[20:39:30] Action: FLHerne tweaks the aero and tries again
[20:39:39] <FLHerne> Still trying to figure out the right launch profile
[20:40:36] <FLHerne> It has to be quite a silly climb rate at top of the Whiplash burn, or the nukes never get it out of the atmosphere
[20:41:48] <FLHerne> Might need another couple of engines
[20:41:57] <FLHerne> But would rather avoid that if possible
[21:19:22] <packbart> fiddling with suit textures. I guess dark suits are not very practical in space, but they look sleek. https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/kspst1.jpg
