[03:54:06] ;mission add You explain how the SAS knows where it is. [03:54:06] raptop: Added mission: You explain how the SAS knows where it is. [04:11:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:07:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:43:32] heh starlink 17 launch date moved again [05:43:46] possibly 2 spacex launches on monday [05:44:10] and starlink 18 is also coming up [05:46:22] "Wait, what if we just stuck the later starlink payloads on a spaceship?" -- hopefully no one until the testing gets farther [05:47:45] you could put a few of the starlink sats on the dragon, in the external trunk [05:51:08] Action: raptop imagines that for an ISS mission [05:51:09] "Hang on, we need to drop off a few sats before we dock" [05:52:29] iss is in 51 deg, some starlink sats are in 53 [05:53:04] maybe it can be done, i am not use how much plane change those ions would be able to do [05:54:00] hrm [06:18:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:48:51] no launches, no flat earth videos, sad day [10:35:19] Althego: and rain and grey and bad weather overall [10:36:07] hehe, welcome back to hardware unavailable [10:36:58] Althego: you can do some plane changes just by using earths not uniform magnetic field... [10:37:28] and non uniform gravity too [10:37:39] one or two degrees should be possible in a decent amout of time [10:38:22] but it would still be a pretty kerbal launch, because timing is an issue, and you have to time to get to iss and to be in the correct requirement plane for the sats. double restrictions [10:38:33] and you could only take a few of them anyway [10:38:37] not worth it [10:44:50] nah, not really [10:44:54] but would make a nice tech demo [10:46:28] so the first totally space tourist flight [10:46:32] is not going to have tom cruise [10:49:38] not? [10:50:13] instead 3 rich guys and the actual commander [10:50:28] think of it how rich they must be to pay a ticket [10:51:08] does the iss even have accomodations for this many people? [10:55:48] How long is the stay? [10:56:00] few weeks [10:56:14] they could all sleep in the capsule [10:56:18] there's enough space there [10:56:46] ah yes it is not the soyuz [10:56:58] even got a toilet [10:57:07] well, not a nice one, like the soyuz tbh [10:57:11] i think they went up to 12 people once? so maybe the iss is enough [10:59:09] There should be a list of beds somewhere ;) [18:05:59] first this https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1355255403945332737 then this https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1355452426875064320 [18:06:20] at least after this they can move out the crane to safety [20:27:38] I wonder why the crane is still attached [20:27:49] I thought they have a system that holds the rocket down [20:27:51] probably stability [20:29:28] must make our rocket lyapunov stable :) [20:29:42] almost every car driving by the cam is a huge inefficient pickup truck [20:29:44] crazy [20:29:52] americans [20:30:01] Althego, are you a mathematician [20:30:06] no [20:30:15] that is why the cybertruck, as ugly as it is, going to be a huge success [20:30:28] because most people dont use pickups to actually transport things [20:30:48] now a Tesla is going by [20:30:50] Lyapunov stability seems like a mathematician thing [20:31:18] technically right, but it is the basis of the control theory of nonlinear systems [20:31:44] and now a jeep, which looks rather small compared to all the F150s... [20:32:27] Althego, whatever you said is very mathy too [20:36:07] Action: raptop vaguely recalls seeing something about lyapunov time in predicting planetary orbits [20:36:24] the original application was for that [20:38:58] ah, makes sense [21:29:35] If people shared cars they could use the right car for the right job. Since they don't, they have to use a car that fits most jobs, but not ideally. [21:36:22] Families do, and theoretically buses/trains can provide "cars" for some purposes [21:37:10] (in practice of course, buses and trains somewhat unreliable and have very limited temporal and spacial coverage) [22:06:31] ;outcome add For some reason, subsequent modifications make your designs increasingly crab-like.
