[00:06:39] Looks like just rieoff the brake briefly when that happens, and moving the airbrakes is good [00:06:49] rieoff/s/letting off [01:09:59] Action: darsie rescued another Kerbal from Kerbin orbit. [01:28:19] Hmm. [01:28:28] Is there a cloud of kerbal spores in LKO? [01:34:18] mhm [01:48:27] Anyone here familiar with professional thermography tools? [01:51:14] -Trying to figure out if there's anything to justify the $10k FLIR E95 vs the $4k Therm-App Pro [01:51:56] therm-app's camera seems better in all respects [01:57:44] FLIR makes me upset. Only their $6k+ cameras offer any benefit over my 13 year old thermal camera due to their stupid artificially imposed imaging limitations. [02:08:15] and SEEK is full stupid with their datasheets --not sure why anyone would buy their camera with what little info their offer on their sensors [02:20:18] ITAR limitations? [02:24:59] Being a space geek has convinced me that, whatever ITAR is, it should be repealed [02:25:03] iplop: isnt there hacks to remome firmware limits? [02:41:16] ITAR feels especially silly once you notice what happened with ion and kerolox engines. [02:57:04] Rolf: Those don't work anymore [02:57:16] oh too bad :( [02:57:24] they were a thing for 1 firmware revision on 1 model thermal camera [02:57:31] I wish I could get one of those [02:57:45] that camera was amazing after being unlocked [02:59:16] ITAR shouldn't be an issue for anything I'd need [03:00:02] my understanding is that ITAR mostly only becomes an issue with fancier optics and higher framerates [03:00:57] the limits imposed for thermal imaging cameras (so long as you don't leave the country with it) are pretty reasonable [03:05:08] cooled optics definitely run afoul of ITAR :v [03:06:23] using those and a bit of processing gets you a much increased effective imaging range (distance-wise) [03:07:10] why you won't see passive thermal imaging on any cars.. ever^ [03:43:29] iplop: https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Infrared-Thermal-Imaging-Camera-for-Cheap-Con/ ? [03:44:02] guy loves to start all words with caps. ugh [04:13:46] I think it's interesting that I can get gps receivers without any ITAR limits imported from china of all places [04:23:13] UmbralRaptor, what happened with ion engines? [05:13:06] Rolf: haha, that trick can be fun for messing around with but it's absolutely useless for any sort of work [05:13:36] guess so its more near ir than actual ir anyway [05:13:50] yup [05:14:01] great for active night vision cameras though [05:14:15] if you want to make a night time security camera out of a webcam [05:14:31] you'll need to wire up an LED IR spotlight as well [05:14:39] depends on user case I guess. I always wanted a heat camers though but so expensive [05:15:16] I have seen near ir directly myself. used googles and filters. was interesting [05:15:17] I honestly wouldn't bother unless you require it for work [05:15:35] and those $200 thermal cameras are absolute garbage [05:15:38] they're toys [05:15:43] completely useless [05:16:40] everything lower than the E6 from FLIR is also pretty much useless :/ [05:16:47] not sure if completely useless as can use for basic stuff like looking for heat leaks so on [05:17:00] nope [05:17:06] a SEEK isn't good enough even for that [05:17:30] I mean, you may get some sort of idea where the issues are [05:17:45] not sure, no [05:18:42] I got a SEEK camera a while back -figured I'd use it a bit like a boroscope for confined spaces [05:18:50] nope, not useful :/ [05:19:09] it took cool selfies [05:19:47] not enough detail? not enpugh range? [05:19:52] I lent it to another department after giving up on it (they were going to use it for electronics repair) [05:20:12] someone stole it after being fired --wasn't useful for electronics either [05:20:28] not enough granular sensitivity [05:21:19] interesting [05:21:29] also weird bleeding artifacts in the imaging -likely due to that cheaper thermal optics coating that's been making the rounds lately [05:22:37] SEEK cameras just give muddy images :/ [05:23:39] their marketing photos are pretty much B/S [05:24:02] also, don't be fooled by FLIR brand marketing photos [05:25:05] FLIR has a patent on mixing a traditional image sensor and thermal imaging sensor outputs together for high defined pictures [05:25:15] that detail isn't very helpful [05:25:27] bleh. ok [05:26:15] it actually makes it easier to see just how crappy their low end thermal imaging sensors (maybe artificially limited?) are [05:27:31] I can vouch for this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flir-B-Cam-Thermal-Imager/183300718505?hash=item2aad92ffa9:g:YREAAOSwWOxbOSdh [05:27:38] was made before FLIR got crappy^ [05:45:15] nice. too bad its bit expensive [06:04:39] https://imgur.com/5g7jxuD [06:04:40] https://i.imgur.com/5g7jxuD.jpg [06:05:00] reusing the lower stage of the Bohemia V is getting more routine [06:08:37] it's a partial-reuse two-stage-to-orbit vertical rocket with a nominal payload of 40 tons [06:14:45] nice [06:36:27] hah 1.5 in october [06:40:50] iplop: LOL after our chat about termal cameras.. I get this email for new youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i4uEbYzuYg [06:40:50] YouTube - Thermal Cameras: Hot & Bothered [06:41:02] its pg dont worry [06:41:41] lol thermal selfies [06:44:58] basically "btw im not sponsored by flir... nor big copper" [06:45:05] hes always funny [06:49:51] eww [06:49:57] flir one [06:50:30] added to watch list :v [06:51:07] thermal cameras is just a messed up market :/ [06:51:23] why [06:51:24] yes, the optics & sensors require a lot of expensive elements [06:51:45] there just aren't enough manufacturers of thermal imaging sensors [06:51:58] image processing is also super locked down by patents [06:52:19] and then there's governmental regulations [06:52:41] and issues with sourcing parts/manufacturing due to differing regulations between counties [06:53:06] m still waiting for termal camera phones to finally become junk [06:53:09] the markets a bit inflated :/ [06:53:10] so I can buy one cheap [06:53:16] and not use it as phone [06:53:20] CAT S60 phone [06:53:27] has a thermal camera on it^ [06:53:32] a crappy one [06:53:37] but still a thermal camera [06:53:59] yah but once phone stats become way underpowered for current apps or whatever.,.. [06:54:04] value will go way down [06:54:33] looks like it's ~$400 now [06:54:38] for that phone [06:54:57] it is still affordable [06:55:10] compared to years ago when it was not [06:55:41] therm-app seems to have the best offerings for the price atm [06:56:17] but I'm apprehensive about thermal cameras as a phone accessory [06:56:21] phones change quick [06:58:33] too bad you can't really buy up old lab equipment cameras [06:58:48] you can [06:58:51] most of those fall under regulations :/ [06:59:01] really? [06:59:03] like thunderfoot bought that high speed cam for only a few thousand dollars :) [06:59:37] Last I checked, there wasn't much available without licensing for old lab used thermal cameras [06:59:51] maybe thermal cameras are different [07:00:14] but what is this licencing? [07:00:31] clearances? governmental permission? [07:00:38] not sure what the correct term is [07:00:51] they're treated as munitions [07:00:54] what, you cant own them? [07:00:56] ah [07:01:01] not above a certain grade [07:01:10] some regulation [07:01:40] the US has predator drones with fancy optics [07:01:46] some odd regulations in usa, like can own tritium but cant buy em [07:01:50] they don't want random people building similar things [07:02:38] rolf: I'm pretty sure that's mostly supplier imposed (below a certain quantity) [07:03:52] well, i can see some thermal cameras here for sale up to around... 10k dollars. those are probably quite high grade [07:04:08] link? [07:04:19] useless to you, hungarian site [07:04:23] ah [07:04:52] 10k actually doesn't get you much above "useful" for thermal cameras :v [07:05:04] "high grade" = 40k+ [07:05:54] those are already outside the reach of normal people [07:06:02] lol, yup [07:06:09] just because of the price [07:07:26] 'high grade' thermal stuff isn't really obtainable outside of government/research [07:10:14] which stinks becauseI've always wanted a thermal camera HUD for my car ;D [07:10:28] would be great for driving at night [07:10:33] to avoid deer, etc. [07:10:35] i think there are cars with that [07:10:41] nope [07:10:46] that's active thermal [07:10:50] near-ir [07:11:28] it's a traditional camera sensor with no infrared filter & an IR optic on it [07:11:40] this guy with the singing pipe... "i will find you, and i will kill you" [07:11:49] worst than the drillers [07:11:50] and it only sees what's washed with an IR spotlight [07:11:51] worse [07:12:25] so basically you cant get real thermal infrared cameras? [07:12:30] you can [07:12:36] below a certain grade [07:12:44] resolution? [07:12:48] that grade isn't useful for automotive use [07:13:35] resolution, frame-rate, sensor size, type of optics, image processing, certain types of combined imaging [07:13:52] all regulated in pretty much every country^ [07:14:30] government... they not only steal your money but limit you with the power of same money [07:14:53] but this gois into politics which is not allwoed [07:15:00] any useful vehicle mounted FLIR camera would also require actively cooled optics for range [07:15:25] i always wondered how these cheap devices work without cooling [07:15:35] not well is the answer [07:15:39] hehe [07:15:52] or, rather: they're pretty range limited [07:16:00] and accuracy takes a steep dive with range [07:17:14] anyways, my bad for hijacking the channel :v [07:17:24] nothing was happening anyway [07:17:30] the camera I use at work is on its last leg [07:17:32] it seems people are not excited for 1.5 [07:17:37] i want those shiny models [07:17:43] i hope even windows get some shine [07:17:58] honestly, irc is dying O.o [07:18:13] maybe [07:18:21] it is still going to outlive facebook :) [07:18:29] irc will outlive humanity [07:18:29] I idle in ~7 channels. Over the last number of years, they've all pretty much died [07:18:48] discord is taking a lot but they are still only one server [07:18:51] boom crash [07:19:00] I definitely don't think irc is going away --it'll still have a place [07:19:16] I just think things like discord are wayy more popular at the moment [07:19:45] i guess discord is ok, i still not like how it looks [07:20:22] it's a privacy nightmare :v [07:20:33] but everything is these days [07:20:35] what does it do? [07:20:53] 'eh, it logs all communication forever who knows where [07:21:09] hehe [07:21:30] irc is not that much better. because all the people can log it [07:21:43] very true [07:21:48] I have logs goingback to 2002 [07:21:49] or if not everybody on the channel is encrypted, it is still capturable [07:21:56] from the outside [07:22:42] but then, you could setup your own irc server without too much difficulty [07:23:18] a third party host or registration isn't really required [07:23:44] the main problem with irc is that new people are unable to use it [07:24:00] many times a day you can see that somebody joins, nothing happens for 5 seconds, andthey quit [07:24:38] I can definitely see it being confusing for first time users [07:25:03] relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1782/ [07:25:16] yes, this is what i expect [07:25:25] i had this opinion long before this comic [07:26:03] haha, I know someone who refuses to join the discord for a group [07:26:30] he sits there in irc by himself with 3 other people (the 3 others are on discord as well) [07:26:38] 2 other people* forgot that one is a bot [07:26:46] hehe [07:26:55] https://imgur.com/a/MmbqO03 if curious if I ever played ksp lol [07:29:45] https://i.imgur.com/FBDgO.png [07:29:59] this is an old picture [07:30:07] lol, yup [07:30:47] yeah been a bit since I last played sadly [07:30:54] same [07:31:30] I love the crazy flag. [07:31:38] I landed on everything, rescued all my stranded kerbals, and then just started seeing how fast I could send them outside the solar system [07:32:09] I landed on duna. well crash landed that left solar panel and computer working [07:32:45] rest of planets didnt count because I used cheat engine I made a while ago [07:35:22] I only found out about the cheat modes after I mostly burnt out on ksp ;o [07:35:53] I didnt use any cheat codes [07:36:05] my engine was quite powerful and makes its own fuel [07:36:33] oh, a modded part? [07:36:38] yeah [07:47:59] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyn2gOimRfM [07:47:59] YouTube - Blue Origin BE-4 Engine Compilation [07:48:36] huge [07:48:53] but i think spacex is going to dominate the early game [07:49:04] it may change later [07:49:37] do the have the methane engine ready? [07:49:50] or still burning korosene? [07:49:50] neither of them have it ready [07:50:06] but spacex is a bit ahead with it [07:50:25] and they have lot of success already [07:50:36] good [07:51:03] when they are ready, there will be a lot of farmers selling cow poo :) [07:51:29] hehe [07:51:55] they just need to put the cows under a dome and collect the methane :) [07:52:24] then after launch, the steak is ready too [08:00:33] i didnt say the dome must be under the rocket [08:00:48] it must be if you want a steak [08:12:45] i read something a few days ago about an experimental propylene engine that they're ready to test on an orbital rocket [08:13:02] i don't know who "they" is [08:14:20] i linked that :) [08:15:12] company and rocket is called vector [08:15:56] hehe, wreck it ralph 2 trailer with built in rickrolling [08:50:46] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:00:32] https://66.media.tumblr.com/bfc8ad9b0375726b63e7a3cc5f204eb9/tumblr_inline_p219amlo251r3qkvm_540.jpg [09:00:35] weird birb [10:05:07] https://gizmodo.com/as-dust-clears-nasa-spots-possibly-dead-opportunity-ro-1829326059 [10:05:33] i thought by this time we should have heard from it [10:05:43] dust is just starting to clear out [10:05:45] and the chances were good that it survives [10:05:57] so it might finally get enough sun to restart. or maybe not [10:06:13] the issue is withthe dust on the panels [10:06:16] probably lot [11:42:02] https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/opportunity.png [11:43:21] who is stanislav petrov?
