[00:00:32] Hmm, "Your ship has bad supersonic drag." got changed to "The vessle has air intakes but no engines to use them." [00:00:40] high* [00:08:17] I don't really understand how to tell what bits of my vessels are high drag and what bits are low drag. [00:16:05] Mathuin: I once read abrupt changes (increases?) in diameter cause high drag. [00:17:38] The cupola is allegedly high in drag, but we don't know about the claw, and I think the shielded docking port is okay, but I don't know in general. :-) [00:55:02] Mathuin: It worked. "Exceptional work. Now get back into the vessle before this turns into a rescue mission." :) [00:59:53] Hmm, I recovered a cupola and lost HECS controls even with 'control from here'. [01:00:52] I don't even have damping. [01:01:58] Oh well, I'll damp with warp. [01:03:40] Hmm, I lost radio control, so it made sense to switch to pilot control, but now I regained radio link. [01:04:40] Ohh, the vessle isn't balanced ... [01:15:44] done [01:39:01] bwoop [01:39:43] . [01:39:52] got a bit of a challenge for you guys: 1.3km/s left. comming in hot for Laythe ... i need ~1.8 km/s for big orbit. going for aerobreak but if i ditch into the atmosphere @4.5km/s i will burn up :/ [01:39:54] Fluburtur, sorry, i had some issues today, livestream will be monday instead [01:40:15] eh is fine [01:40:39] aiming for 40 km above surface now .... lets see... [01:40:45] just dip into the atmo a lil bit [01:40:58] dreadkopp: Maybe an entry burn? [01:41:09] but i need to shove .5 km/s somehow without exploding XD [01:42:40] I had quite a hard time going down on Eve.

[01:54:24] dang it... even slightly touching the atmosphere @48km will give me exploding stuff ... :/ [01:55:22] okay... need to time my burn so i dip into the atmosphere at min 45 km after breaking down all my v left .... oh boy [02:31:11] landing in the seas of Laythe does not count as 'land on laythe?!?" ffs [02:31:12] https://imgur.com/a/2fWuz [02:31:12] https://i.imgur.com/1lQSAfH.png [02:31:54] splashed at Laythe? [02:32:03] yeah [02:32:42] well there is not that much land in Laythe and i don't have much of navigation when aerobraking to land since i packed ~.5 km/s v too less [04:33:16] finally found my 'brakepoint' for laythe orbit haha: https://imgur.com/a/NyQSt [04:33:18] https://i.imgur.com/rcXu0kT.png [05:34:56] https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/7k17qw/i_rescued_a_fellow_redditors_kerbal_from_the/?st=jb8wrb4y&sh=237aaa9f [05:34:57] wow [05:35:33] And here I still haven't bothered to rescue my kerbals from Eve :/ [05:44:27] iplop, yeah it's a cool video.

The second one handles launch, ascent and in future terminal guidance, but for now it only has a dummy altitude vs. pitch timetable. The first stage script waits until stage separation, handles the boostback, atmospheric lift guidance and landing parts.

[16:37:10] The best part was the fairing with the satellite inside falling from the burning rocket, hitting the ground and exploding altogether [16:37:38] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BgJEXQkjNQ [16:37:38] YouTube - SpaceX - Static Fire Anomaly - AMOS-6 - 09-01-2016 [16:38:41] https://youtu.be/_BgJEXQkjNQ?t=80 [16:38:41] YouTube - SpaceX - Static Fire Anomaly - AMOS-6 - 09-01-2016 [16:38:59] at 1:20, the fairing falls down [16:42:26] Oh boy, what happened. [16:42:46] this is old? [16:43:28] Yeah. Old. [16:43:38] yes, this is old [16:43:41] Scott had a really good analysis of it. What was the determined cause? [16:43:53] Blaank, it was an Israeli satellite [16:44:05] I mean the failure of the second stage that caused the whole thing. [16:44:11] so the cause must be someone Palestinian in proximity [16:44:57] Good indication of the heat involved is you can see the paint on the lighting strike protection towers burning off. [16:45:45] Oh, I missed his video followup. [16:46:05] Oh, no I did watch this. [16:46:17] It was the filling and emptying causing some funky ruptures in wrappings.

Seeing that hurts, all those thousands of hours of work... Gone in an instant. [16:55:25] Second, I don't think you should mention theories of this kind here, that's politics. [16:56:47] It was a ufo for sure [16:56:56] That speck flying past was no bird. [16:58:14] I've seen people saying that before [16:58:56] And adding big red circle highlights around the bird, because it totally tried to fly past unnoticed [17:07:15] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVJQoy9-nLg [17:07:16] YouTube - Kerbal Space Program: First Flight [17:12:25] APlayer, it'd definitely hurt if the satellite was truly valuable [17:12:29] but it's not [17:12:48] it'd be another stupid piece of metal fitted with transponders [17:13:03] because every stupid company must own a communications satellite [17:13:12] There was enough effort in it for it to hurt [17:13:31] like, if the JPSS-1 was lost, it'd be painful [17:13:59] but another GEO polluting satellite is not [17:14:15] but I support Israel's space movements in general, though [17:14:37] also, the Palestinian thing was a lame joke [17:15:12] Alright. Just try to avoid potentially political talk and/or jokes in the future [17:15:39] Speaking of jokes, lordcirth, that video is plain amazing. I can relate.

[21:01:43] with extraplanetary luanchpads you can build spacecraft in orbit [21:01:56] Not like an engine you strap on your ship, something like a space station [21:02:02] but you have to bring the parts up [21:03:48] Interesting mod, but I was looking for one of those big sci-fi rings that would orbit and warp ships [21:04:13] I'm sure I saw one on a scott manley video but I can't find it again [21:08:03] the closest I can think of is the USI alcubierre drive [21:08:12] it's a warp drive and not a wormhole generator though [21:11:12] Hmm yeah I saw that one but I was looking for a drive that doesn't attach to your ship, more like a big structure that would orbit and could be reused by various vessels [21:11:40] USI alcubierre drive standalone [21:11:51] That's a warp gate [21:11:54] No idea [21:11:55] This one right https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/90899-13-alcubierre-warp-drive-stand-alone/ [21:12:10] yeah [21:12:14] That one attaches to the ship just like an engine :/ [21:12:26] Get ready to burn 15 km/s dV after a jump, though. [21:12:34] Relative velocity is a pain. [21:14:20] Changed a bit I think. Last I saw it they had 3 sizes and only used EC and didn't blow up your ship when it screwed up. [21:15:03] uhm I'm guessing such a mod doesn't exist [21:15:17] Sure I saw something on a video at some point [21:20:37] im editing a short film I filmed with ym cousin two years ago and man everything is wrong [21:21:07] wrong camera modes, bad audio, stuff in frame, actors not waiting enough to do their stuff [21:21:19] but you learn as you do I guess [21:21:55] bad focus too [21:22:40] Guess I could make the mod [21:53:28] Blaank: you don't have to burn much if you position yourself carefully, you can use the warp drive to bleed off speed by making some warps as well, like on a flyby you wait until your altitude is getting pretty high again and then warp down to a lower altitude a time or five [21:57:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:58:07] Evening, Gentlemen.
