[14:18:43] haha papers please music instead of the usual intro [14:21:41] kikkerikii [15:34:18] Apparently GOG has a free game where you ride the trans-siberian railroad [16:58:40] not really "ride"... [16:58:45] just some pictures [16:58:50] and some buttons to click on [17:01:11] Action: flayer is tired [17:02:04] Action: raptop caffinates flayer [17:06:01] ty [17:12:17] Wellllll https://www.gao.gov/press-release/statement-blue-origin-dynetics-decision [17:13:46] i really hope spacex can make that thing land on the moon [17:13:52] it seems exceptionally difficult tho [17:16:40] it didnt get easier since 69 [17:17:08] and landing that huge tall rocket on the moon... i dunno [17:17:18] i would never do that in ksp [17:17:22] it would flip instantlu [17:17:26] indeed [17:17:40] maybe if something landed before and made a flat horizontal landing pad [17:17:54] yeah, i'm thinking that too [17:18:08] but we'll see [17:18:08] that can be small and unmanned [17:18:27] they gotta get to orbit first! [17:18:32] land during the day, operates from solar, and it can make a flat surface in a few weeks before the sun sets [17:20:31] so what is this gao? [17:26:33] does this mean there will be no second contract, only spacex? [17:28:38] Althego: it is possible, but... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dICrBvTlqsg [17:29:08] and with the fixed landing legs in KSP it should be possible to land such a tall thing now [17:29:16] and don't forget: Very low CoM. [17:29:29] i see several problems with the spacex ship. one is that it is so tall. other it uses methane because it is designed for mars. should be hydrolox for moon [17:30:19] but since it is ultimately moving between earth and the moon, this is not that big of a problem [18:15:49] Althego: Do you see a problem with methane? [18:16:34] there is water on the moon. not much carbon [18:17:37] ^the boring but reasonable answer [18:18:02] as i said the whole methane engine is tuned for mars refueling [18:24:37] there will be no refueling on the Moon... [18:27:52] i'm not sure how well it will work on mars either [18:28:17] but there could be with hydrolox [18:30:05] Nauka-Scott. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTR5evpFLb4 [18:30:35] is the space station safe again? [18:32:06] Unfortunately, this incident means that Nauka is now classified as Euclid [18:33:02] C-Finder [18:34:58] you could crush minerals on the Moon to get some carbon... [18:36:54] Mat2ch: Carbon? [18:37:14] I haven't heard of carbon on the Moon before. [18:39:22] darsie: maybe in minerals [18:39:32] [citation needed] [18:39:34] ;) [18:41:43] maaaaaaaaayyyyyybbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ;P [18:42:16] So much aluminum and oxygen to sort through... [18:43:20] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moon_vs_earth_composition.svg [18:47:50] if you find sometihng that contains carbon [18:48:02] there may be some, but rare [18:50:55] Maybe more water than carbon. [18:56:39] contrast with Mars where I want to say that the carbon per cubic meter of atmosphere is higher than on Earth [18:57:03] not if we can help it :) [18:57:13] by of course increasing it here [18:57:21] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [18:57:44] (not so much imitating Gura as screaming in terror) [18:59:34] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:02:19] wah [20:46:21] T-12min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APrSXjku-hk [20:47:58] aaand it's gone [20:48:24] ah. weird [20:51:02] ah i forgot about this [20:59:08] disappeared into the clouds in seconds [20:59:17] that is it for the live part. enjoy watching the cg [21:20:20] the quality of ariane space can be seen in the countdown, which is filmed from a display. [21:20:42] and therefore fuzzy. [21:24:48] lol [21:32:43] Does that mean they are all CGI ? :P
