[01:09:48] stock propeller plane [01:09:49] https://imgur.com/jLxwsrv [01:09:49] https://i.imgur.com/jLxwsrv.jpg [01:11:30] I don [01:11:54] 't know how to make the stock propellers so I disguised a wheesley [01:12:46] I don't think there's a way to make them turn except with doing them as separate craft. [01:13:47] wait, correection, the disguise is non-stock MRS stockalike [01:15:17] I could use basic fins I guess [01:18:41] yeah that looks better even [01:22:22] https://imgur.com/VeaVBnZ [01:22:22] https://i.imgur.com/VeaVBnZ.jpg [01:27:00] plane is a smoke'n [01:46:12] This thing flies pretty well, despite the massive drag cause by two fins way out in front [01:46:49] https://imgur.com/BMhYNKf [01:46:49] https://i.imgur.com/BMhYNKf.jpg [02:04:04] https://imgur.com/gcQ3jZO [02:04:04] https://i.imgur.com/gcQ3jZO.png [02:11:56] heh.. plane tug [02:12:01] well spaceplane tug [03:09:19] https://imgur.com/gnC10KR [03:09:19] https://i.imgur.com/gnC10KR.png [03:10:11] hmm... that did not work [03:10:42] needs real airbrakes [03:15:31] at least it gives a high enough apoapsis that I can perform my trans-munar injection before it reenters [03:48:09] I don't understand why sometimes the landing gear are fine and sometimes they spontanously bounce my craft into the air [03:54:39] I don't understand how even with all these updates, this problem that was caused in 1.1 has not been fixed [04:09:12] so off I go to install what ought to be called the "working wheels mod" [04:09:40] it's the kracken [04:14:37] Eddi|zuHause: since version 1.1 the stock landing gear have been infected with krakens [04:32:06] yeah landing gear are notorious for being wiggly/jumpy/floppy and messed up [04:32:43] hehe, xkcd [04:34:15] " [04:41:32] There is a joke in there... a fantastically inappropriate joke... but a joke none the less. [04:49:11] # ! [04:49:43] sadly, there's nothing in Unicode for the laser. Yet. [05:12:13] Tragistically, by the time the bodies were found; the bodies were already dead. [05:13:32] Where did they bury the survivors? [05:14:00] You don't bury survivors. [05:14:07] Unless they know too much. [05:14:15] lol [05:14:22] or avalanche happened [05:15:38] Reminds me of that motercyclist that got his helmet turned around in an accident; sadly when the paramedics got there, he died just after they got his head rotated around. [09:49:47] i somehow doubt that is a real story [10:45:56] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMeEh5OUaDs pretty cool [11:01:46] I saw something like this years ago with a bigger propellor/impeller from a university [11:01:49] was neat [11:19:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:38:08] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:48:42] huh... randomly poked imgur, nothing's loading [15:50:53] oh.. maintenance and found out a sitewide issue. meh [16:27:24] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/236560222133551104/483950728180793355/image0.jpg [16:28:10] hehe [16:28:15] https://78.media.tumblr.com/8623610d0204ca4070f97543468e0e1a/tumblr_p4a9r0VnJz1rvf7pso1_540.png [16:28:31] vsauce michael here [16:29:45] https://78.media.tumblr.com/67552f26ddc1cd2cfa1ccbef4e872aba/tumblr_pe0ywrExeI1vw7cs3_540.jpg [16:29:51] https://78.media.tumblr.com/cb29ffca23b6eaa89c9f915d740c4750/tumblr_pe0ywr5eQn1vw7cs3_540.jpg [16:30:01] this cat is kidna fun but extremely creepy [16:31:39] first pic.. at first thought wasn't any water in there [16:32:17] that cant be its actual mouth [16:32:44] apparently it is [16:36:36] other cats reaction to odd mouth kitty: http://www.top13.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/rare-wild-cats-1.jpg [16:37:11] https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/princess-monster-truck [16:41:40] floof cat.. [16:42:03] Manu! [16:42:14] room mate has one.. sometimse calls him little fluff monster. Goes barreling through doors if you don't pay attention [16:42:36] well.. soon as you open the door, not actually through the door, making a hole sorta thing [16:52:51] jef [16:53:10] That moment when you almost turn a Saturn V into an SSTO [16:56:06] You subcontracted the first stage engines to RSC-Energomash, I take it? [17:19:57] xD [17:20:24] No, just very careful manipulation of engines [17:20:29] I built it with two half-stages [17:24:26] Start with five F-1 engines [17:24:41] When TWR reaches 2: ditch 2 engines (TWR now 1.2) [17:24:53] When TWR reaches 3.6: ditch 2 engines (TWR now 1.2) [17:25:29] When stage runs out of fuel: ditch (doy) [17:26:11] Although building a Saturn V using RD-170s would be interesting [17:26:19] Action: Arynnia decides to attempt when I reload RO next [17:26:30] :D [17:26:45] Matter of fact, let me finish this mission to Gullis in my Gameslinx pack [17:45:55] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlaMSC5UcAExpfh.jpg:large [17:46:20] they are nowhere near actual human flight yet [17:46:36] but ok, at least they prepared this already [17:49:03] https://i.redd.it/e6uhvedz5hi11.png [17:58:07] hmm, scott [20:39:53] Well here's something I just learned - MS-DOS has a low battery alarm built in. loaded it onto my netbook via my USB floppy drive [20:42:07] o. [20:42:08] huh [20:51:31] Target acquired https://www.nasa.gov/feature/ultima-in-view-nasa-s-new-horizons-makes-first-detection-of-kuiper-belt-flyby-target [22:01:25] UmbralRaptop: I interpreted this as "target (supermarket) bought by NASA" [22:02:08] uh [22:02:39] That's a silly place to send the next rover. [22:08:54] Okay @UmbralRaptop I'm building the Saturn V powered by RD-170s we discussed earlier [22:09:04] Yay [22:10:58] Oh, I'll do one better [22:11:05] I'll build Saturn C8 powered by RD-170s [22:12:01] Nova block III, from some CoDominium timeline. [22:30:46] I'm trying to make a saturn V that reuses its lower stage [22:31:04] hasn't been going well [22:33:45] You should build the S-ID stage [22:33:57] It's similar to the S-IC, except it'll ditch four of its engines midflight [22:38:43] Okay, @UmbralRaptop [22:38:45] Here's some numbers [22:39:22] With raw F-1 engines, the Saturn C8 gets 19.2 km/s dV [22:40:43] Powered landing SSTO without a heatshield *_* [22:41:19] nice [22:42:23] If we go to F-1A engines, the whole rocket gets 19.3 km/s [22:43:39] Going to the modern F-1B actually drops this to 19.1 [22:44:24] (Side note, this is using HG-3 engines in the upper stages and a standard Apollo-CSM on top) [22:44:58] And now for the test that got me thinking: replacing the F-1s with RD-170s [22:45:32] @UmbralRaptop 19.7 km/s :D it does improve [22:45:55] Yay [22:46:32] Glushko for the win [22:48:26] Although there is one that's even better [22:49:10] RD-270M [22:49:25] fuel the Saturn V with pentaborane/NTO (!) and get 20.2 km/s [22:50:59] Well here's something I just learned - MS-DOS has a low battery alarm built in. loaded it onto my netbook via my USB floppy drive <-- under which name would i find that in my MS-DOS 5.0 Manual? :p [22:53:14] RD-270M is Fun! [23:09:40] I've officially N-1'd the Saturn V [23:10:03] it's now a Saturn IV? [23:10:17] No, it's now an N-1 [23:10:22] (5-1 = 4) [23:10:29] Action: Arynnia sighs.
