[12:27:41] expensice [12:29:25] Well, the materials that have enough density and durability to even into space are kinda costly. [12:30:03] Along with the extensive certification nessisary. [12:30:40] for launching a kg of instruments into space? [12:32:19] kind of depends on what you wanna do... [12:32:34] Either get expensive alloys and designs for an engine... or get a bunch of explosives. Your choice. [12:32:50] solid rocket, spin stabilized [12:32:59] not much needed, it is basically a tube full of explosives [12:33:11] And something that can be classified as a missile... good luck. [12:33:24] ah that [12:33:26] Japan has done it [12:33:40] 3 stager got a cube sat into orbit [12:34:43] Well yea... the rocket equasion and all that are much easier for tiny payloads. [12:34:53] Althego slow burning explosives.. last thing you want is to have it all go off at once. :\ [12:35:10] But the practicallity of some random person going "i want to build something that is 1 IED short of a ballistic missile" [12:35:16] actually in payload mass fuel is linear. in delta it is exponential [12:35:25] delta-v [12:36:00] lol... launching rockets with stick of tnt... ya.... [12:36:01] yes, but the dry mass of the craft for that payload mass rises much faster due to the need for the rocket to survive.

[16:44:14] probably not directly, because horizontal ditance is not modeled [16:47:05] Hard to say. Something something energy something momentum. [16:47:40] my simple understanding of orbital physics is that distance doesn't actually matter much? [16:48:29] because most of the time you don't spend energy, the distance travelled during that time should be irrelevant? [16:49:03] Distance should be irrelevant in a perfect hohmann transfer, I guess? This map does not account for inclination, though [16:49:38] No, distance between orbits should be irrelevant, but orbital speed of the target planets would definitely matter [16:50:36] but the orbital speed is already included in that planet's energy level? [16:52:44] i mean, if you follow the line from venus to earth, you got venus' well, then it flattens out, which i guess roughly equates to "SoI Edge", then there's a huge climb, and then it flattens out for earth's "SoI edge" [16:53:28] The flat/steep parts are a result of scaling the image, I believe [16:54:11] Ideally it would follow a 1/r^2 curve, I think [16:54:49] well, if you ignore the planets, and only connect the highest tips of the curve? [16:55:36] That would mean the interplanetary distances are to scale, which they are not [17:01:41] "You could escape Deimos with a bike and a ramp." Escape velocity is independent of direction, so no ramp needed, unless you need it for friction during acceleration. [17:02:51] yeah if you try to get off the ground before you have reached escape velocity but enough velocity to lift a bit you will fall back eventualy [17:02:53] well, the ramp might help if you want to go a specific direction :p [17:04:17] i think friction will be a problem between orbital velocity and escape velocity [17:04:41] A slanted circular track would work, but that's a ramp, kind of. [17:05:10] well, the surface is considered flat :p [17:05:14] Or some mechanical or thruster based push down. [17:05:35] or a good kick in the butt [17:05:38] but where to you get thrusters for your bike on deimos? [17:05:48] In the thruster shop. [17:06:06] In the VAB ;). [17:13:00] "A thrown baseball could escape Phobos." How much dv is needed when using Mars' tidal force? [17:13:59] uh [17:14:41] I think this ends up involving that L1 point that's something silly like 5 km away from Phobos. [17:16:23] how much dV does a thrown baseball have anyway? [17:16:49] nothing because it doesn't have stored energy it can use for thrusting itself [17:16:59] unless it is outgassing or something [17:18:14] the act of throwing the baseball is the dV [17:18:34] how much dv is int he arm of the guy throwing then [17:19:03] i'm sure there are loads of people that can recite which baseball player reached what speed [17:19:11] 50 m/s if he's a pro? [17:19:31] unfortunately those people will use weird units [17:19:49] ;wa speed of a baseball [17:19:51] Eddi|zuHause: MLB baseball->maximum speed: 54 m/s (meters per second) [17:21:22] 54 m/s is 194.4 km/h. [17:21:50] That's maybe a hit baseball, not a thrown one. [17:22:14] ;wa throwing speed of a baseball [17:22:17] Eddi|zuHause: Wolfram couldn't understand your gibberish [17:22:31] ;wa speed of a thrown baseball [17:22:35] Eddi|zuHause: Wolfram couldn't understand your gibberish [17:22:53] ;wa baseball pitching speed [17:22:57] Eddi|zuHause: Wolfram couldn't understand your gibberish [17:23:01] i give up [17:23:02] Action: UmbralRaptor hears 100 mph tossed around as a good fastball speed, which isn't much under 50 m/s. [17:24:17] IIRC I've moved my hand at about 60 km/h in front of a car speed display. [17:24:41] that is a good deal below 50m/s :p [17:25:06] I'm not a baseball pro, though. [17:25:15] So I expect they'd to better. [17:26:46] Why are we talking about 50 m/s? Escape velocity 11.39 m/s (41 km/h) [17:27:34] I guess that's without Mars' tidal force. [18:05:44] how does tidal force affect escape velocity? [18:06:53] I guess escape velocity is minimally affected by the gravity gradient created by the "parent" body [18:07:35] Mars pulls harder on objects nearby than farther away, so it pulls two such objects apart, if their gravity or internal structure can't compensate it. [18:08:37] It is significant on Phobos or other bodies near the Roche limit. [18:09:32] At the Roche limit you just need to walk to the near or far side of the satellite and you'll float away. [18:10:21] We could build a tower on Phobos where the escape velocity is 0 m/s. [18:11:47] A tower to the L1/2 point. [18:12:41] At the Roche limit (orbital distance) the L1/2 point are at the surface of the satellite. [18:12:55] hehe [18:15:43] Guys, scrub the space elevator plans, we've found a better deal [18:18:29] Action: darsie wonders what KSP would do with a tower extending beyond the SOI. Ahh, it just regards some point of the tower and puts the whole tower either in or out of the SOI. [18:19:30] At one point you'd just cross the SOI border by foot [18:21:03] going to just plunk something like a whole tower in game.. or build it? [18:21:28] Too many parts. [18:21:28] building wise.. things get a little weird when you make it around 2km long [18:21:49] 32000km long single part.. [18:22:45] For a tower you could get away with 12 polys [18:23:12] triangle base, you need only 5 [18:23:16] But I could put a space ship near the SOI and let a beam reach out of it, then let a kerbal climb up outside the SOI and release. [18:24:01] Althego: Alright, 10 polys. No less. You can't define polys other than triangles in KSP, AFAIK [18:24:18] ah yes i forgot about the sides [18:24:38] but still 3*2 + 2 [18:24:42] that is only 8 [18:25:02] Woops, yes, indeed. I counted a triangle base and 4 sides :P [18:25:29] Or you make it a giant pyramid with three sides and get 4 polys :P [18:29:31] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:25:26] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKCuwX-HuZ8 [19:25:26] YouTube - STAR WARS IMPRESSIONS!

[19:28:50] it is actually smaller [19:28:58] i am using an m.2 in this one [19:29:08] and the previous one was 2.5" [19:29:28] which is smaller than the 3.5" standard, that was before it for years [19:30:15] but ram stayed the same size [19:30:17] Draconiator: The number of errors when compiling new code [19:30:30] It gets smaller because you fix the errors, but it stays the same size anyway [19:31:11] o/ [19:31:21] \o/ [19:31:38] Hi [19:31:49] Hello, Mod9000 [19:45:26] Hello, Humans. [19:45:33] me, a fellow human, too, greets you. [19:49:30] Wait, we're supposed to be human? [19:52:44] you can remain a raptor [19:53:02] rawr [19:55:13] Aplayer, I was running on the faxct that like...480MB back in the day seemed like a massive amount of space :P [19:55:45] and while things with that amount of space stayed the same size, that amout seems laughably small these days [19:56:09] Hey, I first learned programming on a TI-83+ Calculator which has a total of 32 kB of RAM (24 kB user accessible) and 150 kB of Flash memory [19:56:17] lol [19:56:19] depending on what you're doing 500 M can be quite sizable [19:56:33] for instance, the IDEA family of IDEs, Visual Studio Code, etc. are all <= 250 MB [19:56:40] and then you have Visual Studio 2017, which is 25 gigabytes. [19:57:09] That's their spying software. :P [20:54:05] my father had a laptop with a 20MB harddisk, that's one of the earliest i can remember, our desktop then had 80MB [20:54:34] which we later updated by a second 420MB disk [20:55:40] and then CDs came out, and people were like "650MB per disk? with that much space you never need harddisks anymore" [20:57:27] but ram stayed the same size <-- RAM definitely got physically bigger over time [21:39:09] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:02:04] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Venus is less like Earth's twin and more like its ex-spouse that comes to the annual family reunion uninvited. [22:05:22] So . . . Is No Man's Sky still not that good? [22:06:51] some people enjoy it, but i doubt i will ever purchase it. [22:06:59] no mans sky won't ever be good. the technology literally isn't there for it. [22:07:02] it'll forever be a solid 6/10 for me [22:07:45] I'd rate starcraft 2 as 6/10... no mans sky is nowhere near starcraft 2. [22:07:58] KrazyKrl: I only ask because 1. It's, "on sale" and 2. I looove Subnautica. [22:08:00] sc2 is a solid 9/10 for me ;) [22:08:23] Scolar_Visari: you can always refund it <= 2 hours [22:08:37] don't waste your money on no mans sky... they already burned their potential customers; they don't deserve any money. [22:08:43] Action: Scolar_Visari things +pair meant to say Supreme Commander 2. [22:09:05] nope. definitely starcraft. [22:09:18] KrazyKrl: I've also been delightfully surprised by Surviving Mars, which has picqued my interest in the critically unacclaimed Aven Colony. [22:09:29] Action: Scolar_Visari zaps +pair. "No, you mean Supreme Commander 2." [22:11:44] Action: Scolar_Visari looks at the various Farm Simulator games and demands a Medieval farming sim. [22:12:34] Sorry, due to time accelleration; and the average lifespan of children of this era... the game is only limited to one growing season [22:13:55] KrazyKrl: I could see some Harvest Moon relationship mechanics working with this ala negotiating plow team rights, resolving property disputes, talking the lord of the manor down from higher taxes, etc. [22:14:16] "Please m'lord, we won't have enough to feed our children!" [22:26:16] Hrm . . . Post Apocalypse Harvest Moon? [22:26:32] so... harvest moon. [22:27:45] My Time at Portia [22:29:01] How is the new season of Arrested Development? [22:29:08] Like Spec Ops: The Line, but with farming instead of PTSD. [22:35:00] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders more sales [22:46:24] Sorry, due to time accelleration; and the average lifespan of children of this era... the game is only limited to one growing season <-- most of the "low average lifespan" in the medieval era is due to children dying before age 5. if you managed to reach maturity, you're also back then quite likely to hit 60 or so [22:47:22] Eddi: The trick is not to get attached to the newborns. [22:47:46] that is a bit tricky for most people :p [22:49:08] Action: Scolar_Visari notes many cultures in Medieval Europe declined to name newborns till later in life. [22:49:53] never heard about that being a thing that people did [22:50:43] but what do we really know about the life of the common people from an era where even the elite were often barely literate? [22:51:08] most of our data from that time is from church records [22:51:24] Well, that has a bit of information [22:52:00] yeah, but it also leaves out a lot [22:52:54] Eddi: Medieval villages and towns especially were surprisingly good at storing information. [22:52:54] like for most people of that time we don't know the date of birth, only the date of baptism, which may be a few days apart, but also could be a lot more? [22:54:48] Eddi: The precise date of birth doesn't seem to have mattered since, again, most people died during their first year of life. [22:56:20] We do know the IMR was quite high [22:56:30] and the lufespan was ~low [22:56:37] life* [22:57:59] The average lifespan of most pre-modern sedentary cultures was comparable with the global average. [22:58:06] i remember in my early days of history class, we were watching about the life of germanic people in roman times, and there was this sentence about the kid helping her great-grandmother, which seemed incredibly old for me at the time. but if you do the math, if people get kids at age 16-ish then the great-grandmother is maybe in her late 40s [22:58:19] *watching a movie [22:59:06] Eddi: Childbirth and marriage seemed to be more common at late teens early twenties. Having children at younger ages was downright dangerous and typically the reserve of landed nobility. [23:01:27] ok, but then she would still be late 50s early 60s [23:01:52] and not mid 90s like some of todays great grandmothers [23:02:40] and i imagine non-romanized germanic life was pretty different before christianisation [23:02:55] Ahhh . . . it was probably better. [23:03:47] Action: Scolar_Visari notes life expectancies tend to vary dramatically across the modern globe, and there are severe dips in health that follow industrialization [23:04:06] that was the time where a settlement usally consisted of one giant house where a family/clan lived with the animals [23:04:30] uhm, yes, you don't want to live in early 1800s london :p [23:04:56] The low population density would've been more conducive to human health, as the population dense Bobonic Plague Era Europe indicates. [23:05:43] Heck, life in cities (something reserved for no more than 10% of the population) was horrifyingly unpleasant and short [23:05:55] well, the plague probably still had a long way to travel back then from egypt(?) where it probably originated [23:06:03] Eddi: Somewhere in China. Maybe. [23:06:38] Though there were many great plagues before that which deeply affected the Roman Empire ala the Plague of Justinian. [23:07:31] Action: Scolar_Visari notes Rome was in decline well before people like to think it suddenly disappeared because of Vandals and Goths with their poor taste in clothing. [23:08:05] It was Northern Asia [23:08:23] Siberia, Northern China, East Russia area [23:08:50] Traveled down to China, then the merchants to Europe [23:09:42] wikipedia thinks the justinian plague is an early version of the same illness as the "black death" that swept across europe a few centuries later [23:10:45] Truly the Turks slew the Empire with their new soldiers and grand bombards. [23:11:36] uhm, they probably did, but that was after a looooong series of decline for the empire, starting with some not so great crusades [23:12:47] Fourth Crusade was Best Crusade. [23:14:13] they sure managed to pillage some non-catholics :p [23:15:35] Well how else were they supposed to pay for that Italian fleet? [23:20:15] Action: Scolar_Visari sighs at Total War Rome II's failure to make galley combat accurate and/or fun. [23:23:44] ;choose Crusades to Jerusalem|Crusades from The Eye of Terror [23:23:45] UmbralRaptor: Crusades from The Eye of Terror [23:24:27] I went on a nearly circular escape trajectory out of Minmus. 3 h before escape Jeb went on EVA and climbed a long ladder radial out (actually the ship started rotating on EVA). When Jeb left Minmus' SOI he was ripped from the ladder and rotated quickly. [23:26:23] UmbralRaptor: Hey, the last one was actually successful! [23:27:16] oops, no, Jeb is still on a Minmus escape trajectory which leads to a Kerbin escape trajectory. [23:28:59] darsie: ladders are still silly apparently. [23:29:17] Should have made the ladder on lots of I-beams. Much heavier than lots of cubic struts, but probably much faster to process. [23:29:55] I appear to have every game I want. This is disconcerting. [23:30:01] Well, Something like this was expected, if the ship is in Minmus SOI while Jeb is in Kerbin orbit. [23:33:29] It could have treated Jep+Ship as one object. [23:33:33] Jeb [23:33:33] i found that people just randomly drift off ladders (back in 1.3.x when i last played) [23:33:43] Yeah, that's annoying. [23:35:11] Action: Scolar_Visari goes off to pass the Turing Test. [23:35:35] Hey guys [23:36:04] My new grafics card will come in a few days/weeeks [23:48:54] so which coin will you mine first?
