[01:41:42] I'm home from my vacation and now I can play KSP [01:48:23] What altitude do you need to be at to get a Geosynchronous Orbit around Kerbin, the Mun, and Minmus? [02:04:09] TwistenX: the relevant altitudes should be on the wiki under each planet/moon. In the case of the Mun, no synchronous orbit is possible due to it being tidally locked. [02:04:28] ok [02:05:48] If you're on the near side, you should have more or less continuous contact given the various Kerbin ground stations (and you can certainly extend things there). Limited far side coverage is possible if you put a sat ahead or behind the mun on an orbit with the same period.

[14:42:13] Why not? [14:42:18] But someone at the FAA might get fired soon. [14:42:36] Why would someone at the FAA get fired? [14:42:56] Because they clearly are in a fight with SpaceX [14:43:08] Because someone at a lonely desk somewhere feels left out. [14:44:05] spacex shouldnt be above the laws [14:44:13] It's not being above laws. [14:44:37] SpaceX also had more road/beach closures than they had a permit for. [14:45:32] If you read the article you may find that it's about the fact that someone at the FAA thinks that this tower will be used for launches that would need an FAA license/permit [14:46:03] but this tower is only for development and testing. So it's not in the FAAs regulation [14:46:08] most launches will be at the see [14:46:12] sea [14:46:16] As I said, someone is feeling important here [14:46:20] they jsut cant launch from there [15:06:37] so then how are they going to do the orbital launch? the floating platforms will not be ready for quite a while [15:45:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:41:07] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [16:41:07] Althego: they label it test flights. I guess there are different rules then [18:14:46] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:11:16] Althego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK-YmV1eVaU why didn't you tell me? :D [20:11:40] i watched this today [20:11:50] but this is the same that has been out for a while in italian [20:12:51] hwh the two languages came out the same day [20:16:26] yeah, April, totally flew past me [21:48:33] Why does https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Time say 1 year is 426.08 days when D426, 05:59:59 is followed by D01, 00:00:00? [21:49:01] Was there a change? [22:02:28] The post-1.0 spin up? [22:03:36] my program still doesn't convert time correctly. [22:08:02] Hmm, a maneuver at 0 s UT should have happened at negative current time, but it's -23y 349d, while the current time is 24y 350 days. [22:09:12] I need to start a new game ... [22:10:53] Ok, starts with y1, d1, 00:00 [22:13:38] Got it. Added 1 to y and d. [22:20:01] But damn, it's not that easy. If I convert seconds I may get 0 d 03:23:45 as duration, but as a datestamp it is D01 03:23:45 [22:21:16] I could output both. [22:21:47] But how do I make the input to my program? [22:26:11] the moon is orange tonight [22:26:27] near eclipse? [22:28:58] nah, it's a crescend or so. [22:31:56] gibbous* [22:41:45] I think I found a solution. I make two programs, kspconverttime and kspconvertdate for different input syntax and output both formats. [22:45:07] smoke [22:45:10] so much smoke [22:45:15] all is burning [22:45:57] More seriously, there's a real chance that the fires in the western US this summer are larger than last summer (which were the largest ever recorded) [22:56:57] Let's hope people learn from the damage and the dead. [23:05:54] raptop: we could give you some water... [23:06:44] Mat2ch: I'm like 3500 km from the main fires, and am pretty sure that I'm seeing some effects from the smoke [23:07:05] That is totally possible [23:07:52] We are 1000s of kilometers away from the Sahara desert here, but sometimes even we can see the dust from it here. [23:08:06] and it's even important that this happens, it fertilizes our ground.
