[00:08:30] is that like what contract configurator is to contracts [00:10:51] more or less, yeah [00:37:12] https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2018/06/28/interstellar-space-travel-will-require-lots-of-sex - I suddenly want to go on that mission. lol [01:04:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [01:19:10] i wrote a modulemanager patch instead, since i'm just worknig within the stock nodes [01:19:14] i'm ognna give it a quick test [01:37:04] https://hastebin.com/xohoramupa.hs is this right? [03:39:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|zzzz' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:32:50] ...what were the last technical and non-technical books I've read [06:34:37] so Harlan Ellison died [09:06:53] 1.1km off of gilly's surface and I'm still "in space high over" it [09:37:55] SpaceX launch [09:38:02] 5 min [09:39:32] https://youtu.be/ycMagB1s8XM [09:39:33] YouTube - CRS-15 Mission [09:39:33] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycMagB1s8XM&feature=push-lsb&attr_tag=DLI_KE7yPmpBMm2x-6 link to launch [09:39:34] YouTube - CRS-15 Mission [09:39:40] aha that link is better :D [09:39:47] FLHerne: just in time for launch [09:39:47] so much smaller [09:40:02] Rokker: Oh, thanks for the heads-up [09:40:40] (I completely forgot, while disaggregating my bike all over the kitchen) [09:57:45] oh, I missed the launch :| [09:57:55] but no 1st stage landing, boring ;) [10:06:32] well it would land patially [10:06:35] * partially [10:09:01] hydrobraking [10:14:04] Mat2ch: last expendable launch for a while [10:14:10] block 5 from here on out [10:35:06] Rokker: \o/ [11:16:48] o/ [11:18:15] hi [11:20:33] Hey Gasher [12:01:12] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Technicalfool' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:01:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:03:16] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+vovv 1CSAAA2CO 1CSAAAZ7O Zarthus Hikaru' by stormlight.esper.net [12:03:48] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v bathtub_shark' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:04:46] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:55:36] i oculd have watched the spacex launch... but i was in a meeting [13:10:34] https://i.imgur.com/lOdIcY3.gifv [13:12:23] even better with high heels [13:29:55] heh [13:30:31] I'm running around the cosmonaut training centre [13:32:36] and occasionally getting some time in on the simulators [13:32:56] irl? [13:33:23] Action: Mat2ch looks severe at PrefixCactus [13:33:28] No running at this point! [13:34:07] this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin_Cosmonaut_Training_Center [13:36:24] yep [13:36:27] http://i66.tinypic.com/2vdsmbk.jpg [13:36:27] nice [13:36:58] three years of not playing ksp and now I'm here [13:37:04] hehe [13:37:16] refreshing mah skills [13:37:35] you came to the right place [13:37:44] the RCS handles are ingenious [13:38:06] I wanna have them at home now [13:38:09] the two joysticks [13:38:15] a good idea [13:38:20] yeah [13:38:27] but that button pushing stick is silly :) [13:38:32] the left one is translation [13:38:56] ksp has the right one for that :) [13:39:31] joystick is up/down/left/right with a separate pro/retro switch on the left [13:39:49] works exactly like ijklhn [13:39:52] i [13:39:53] e [13:39:56] on/off [13:40:24] but it also has what's called the "pulse mode" [13:41:04] we are way past even "tone" mode already :) [13:41:12] when you move it, it makes a very short pulse, about .02 m/s [13:41:16] thn [13:41:29] then you have to release it and move again [13:41:41] that is nice [13:42:26] the vutton pushing stick is unnecessary when you're not strapped in [13:42:35] and not in a spacesuit [13:42:52] as for the rotation handle [13:43:32] it's a regular 3dof joystick (twistable for roll) [13:43:41] but with some quirks [13:44:58] first, the angle corresponds not to angular acceleration, as is usual in ksp, but to a constant angular speed [13:45:04] oh yes, two flat earth videos [13:45:33] then there's that button on the handle [13:45:51] i always hated that you had to do this pulse thing manually. only logical that it does the differentiation for you [13:46:03] when pressed it deactivates the spring and you can leave the stick in any position you like [13:46:31] like a trim button [13:46:32] the green/yellow one [13:46:39] yeah, kinda [13:47:29] except it's autostabilised to a constant angular speed, not a constant torque [13:48:16] so basically leaving the handle off-center gives you a steady spin with zero fuel consumption [13:48:20] so why are you there? do they take tourists now? or as a real astronaut on training? [13:49:06] I'm studying for a master's degree at the MSU Faculty of space exploration [13:49:49] (It's a new one, created this year, right when I got my bachelor's at CMC) [13:50:15] and they sent us here for two weeks [13:51:34] today's the last day, unfortunately [13:52:24] and I got to the simulators just yesterday, and before that I just sat in a room and did random stuff on my laptop [13:52:43] my fault though, should've asked earlier [13:52:51] hehe [13:53:14] still, I got to dock [13:53:32] (first try, top grade) [13:53:46] with some experience from ksp it wouldnt be strange [13:53:55] so apparently ksp skills do transfer to real life quite nicely [13:54:17] it also helps to fly helicpters :) [13:54:20] it's still different, but in a pleasant way [13:54:35] I don't ;) [13:54:55] at least that is y experience from simulators [13:55:00] *my [13:55:11] I have flown paragliders and regular gliders though [13:55:15] because hovering is much like landing on the moon [13:55:27] and clocked in lots of hours in x-plane [13:55:43] ah, hovering [13:55:53] yeah, the mechanics are the same [13:56:02] hovering and landing vertically is very similar tothat [13:56:25] though ksp lacks a very significant channel: accelerations sensed by the body [13:56:38] not really significant [13:56:56] even simulators acn fake it easily, because it has very little effect [13:57:07] most of the feeling comes from your eyes [13:57:33] and that is why i get simulator sickness when motion is not on [13:58:19] well, kinda [13:58:38] depends on the situation [13:59:09] anyway, the lab I study in works on these dynamic imitation platforms mostly [13:59:33] (and also on other VR stuff, naturally) [13:59:56] we have a moon rover simulator there [14:03:55] also, there's a very simple but awesome system to verify that you're in the docking port axis translationally [14:04:30] there is that target what you can see in the docking videos. is that it? [14:04:36] it consists of a colored plate and a cross on a stick [14:04:41] that [14:06:47] yeah, probably [14:07:58] it's either circular or a :@IL83K [14:08:03] rhombus* [14:10:50] That's a lot of consonants in a row. [14:10:57] hehe [14:10:58] tinypic [14:11:05] http://i63.tinypic.com/28hids4.jpg [14:11:07] er [14:11:10] derp [14:11:14] hi raptop! [14:11:18] long time no see [14:11:45] Action: UmbralRaptor waves at cactus [14:11:51] here, this https://youtu.be/GQAmV_kv2Sk?t=439 [14:12:43] yeah that one [14:12:50] there are two of them [14:13:07] offset differently [14:13:27] the small circular one os for the cam [14:13:33] this is from the recent docking. i liked the launch for that one because finally there was a camera on the upper stage. and you could see hw the lower stage detaches and spins away inksp style [14:14:01] the large rhomboidal one is for the circular optical visor between the legs [14:15:01] btw you can see in th vid how the cross moves as the soyuz vibrates left and right [14:15:21] http://i66.tinypic.com/1183tjp.jpg [14:16:09] americans would have made some laser guided thingy, russians used a cross :) [14:16:31] it's extremely natural and convenient to use [14:16:50] like, you get used to it in the first 20 seconds or so [14:19:09] here's the instructor's side of the simulator http://i63.tinypic.com/se5a8n.jpg [14:19:33] expected as much [14:19:51] these look universally outdated, both east and west :) [14:21:44] top row, left to right: CM cam; image shown on the left screen in the module; all the panel indicators; right screen of CM [14:22:22] bottom center: copy of what the guy inside sees in the optical visor [14:23:35] bottom left two screens: mission loader and lots of mechjeb-style stuff shown, like all the relative speeds, time to impact, etc [14:24:12] buttons around the optical visor screen: FAILURES [14:24:22] (assorted) [14:31:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:00:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v FooBaz' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:05:49] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v bathtub_shark' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:11:14] ...

(and in my ears, i could never forget the music of the first pc game i have ever heard) [19:04:06] Bravo Sector waves 3 and 4 have better music than wave 1 which is better than wave 2 which is better than the rest. >_> [19:08:52] Althego: also, OCRemix has some nice variants. [19:09:12] Flub2: I'm still down to grind other tiers [19:09:31] I play 5.7 rn [19:09:35] brcause narval [19:14:47] i guess it must have been an accidental highlight [19:16:28] "Raptor" pings me for hopefully obvious reasons. [19:17:54] UmbralRaptop: what a silly unnecessary ping [19:18:04] I'm glad all my pings are sensible [19:18:13] i always think this sasamj is a modified sasami [19:18:31] Silly pings belong in a museum.

[19:24:28] what happens then? is it like crossing the streams? [19:27:49] That could get you "A-10" or "A10" [19:28:11] And then politics gets pinged. [19:28:26] remember the a20 line? [19:29:53] Action: UmbralRaptop does not. [19:30:24] in the dos era that was responsible for the upper memory block. it is also a typpo candidate [19:32:35] or maybe it was for hmae, doesnt matter [19:32:38] hma [19:36:53] Flub2: seems like one of the most consistent way for me to survive the babby Sabres is to dive and then make them RIP off their wings when they pull up [19:37:14] hehe [19:39:28] btw I flew my friend's dorito the other day [19:39:36] pretty nice but breaks kinda easily [21:10:43] me trying to join the steam sale game...
