L111[08:46:39] <Mat2ch> Ahaha. Because of the gov shutdown Falcon Heavy can't be operated
L112[08:46:48] <Mat2ch> the universe doesn't want SpaceX to fly :D
L113[08:47:16] * ve2dmn facepalm
L114[08:47:23] <ve2dmn> The art of compromise is dead
L115[08:52:23] <ve2dmn> I really wish we would learn form the lessons of the past. The generation that lived through the great depression were really risk-averse, but it served them well by building on solid founcation... While the generation that followed live through great wars and were willing to compromise to make stuff happen.
L116[08:53:00] <ve2dmn> Not sure what our generation will be remembered for.
L117[08:54:24] <TheKosmonaut> Dank memes
L118[08:54:34] <TheKosmonaut> And the internet in general
L119[08:55:05] <TheKosmonaut> Though you could argue that it's a multigenerational creation
L120[08:55:35] <ve2dmn> TheKosmonaut: the historian of the future will have a lot of crap to look at to find the good stuff
L121[08:56:30] <ve2dmn> but then again, the previous generation didn't have the means to publish, so there's probably good material that died in the past, forgotten to the ages
L122[08:57:01] <TheKosmonaut> There's plenty of utter garbage from the past too. It just doesn't quite stand the test of time.
L123[08:57:30] <TheKosmonaut> Hopefully, SpaceX keeps their Texas launch facility construction at a good pace
L124[08:57:34] <ve2dmn> Like that steam-powered door from ancien greece that was just 'a curiousity' and didn't manage to caught on
L125[08:57:36] <TheKosmonaut> ~2019 ish

L127[08:58:42] <Mat2ch> the first invention of a steam machine was used to turn an ox over the fire...

L134[09:01:39] <ve2dmn> Like the greatest mathematicians were only able to do their thing because they were financed by rich and influancial people
L135[09:07:09] <ve2dmn> Taking a page from math, I feel like the ancien one were more concern about the look of the function, while the recent generation are more obsessed with the first derivative and the second derivative of that function...
L136[09:08:21] <ve2dmn> Sure Y=X-(10^10) has a positive outlook, but that means starting in ungodly debts
L137[09:14:11] <zilti> There's still a bit of a slowdown during the first 2 minutes after launch, but I can live with that.
L138[09:14:33] <zilti> Now all I'm stuck with is that, in space, the camera isn't centered on my probe, but instead on an imaginary point

L257[10:34:42] <madmerlyn> Apparently the spaceport Rocket Labs built at Mahia is the first commercial spaceport in the souther hemisphere

L259[10:36:02] <madmerlyn> Straya has 1 spaceport, and 2 retired spaceports, but all were military/govt. facilities, not commercial
L260[10:36:11] <ve2dmn> Althego: fire is never static. Is is always moving
L261[10:36:27] <Althego> but the rocket doesnt, hence it is static

L285[10:50:16] <madmerlyn> Rocket Labs did
L286[10:50:22] <madmerlyn> they built their own spaceport in NZ
L287[10:50:47] <madmerlyn> manufactures the oxidizer in situ, which I'm sure is standard for spaceports
L288[10:51:05] <iamfishhead> I'm saying this is a rather recent thing
L289[10:51:07] <Gasher> doesn't sound exciting
L290[10:51:22] <Gasher> but ok, if it's the first
L291[10:51:26] <madmerlyn> it is exciting, they're going to offer low cost launches for small payload customers
L292[10:51:35] <iamfishhead> If I said "Private Spaceports" ten years ago, nobody would have believed me
L293[10:51:37] <iamfishhead> It is exciting
L294[10:51:43] <ve2dmn> What the coordinates of the Rocket Labs launch site
L295[10:51:54] <madmerlyn> right now if you have a small payload you rely on piggybacking on a larger payload's launch, which has a lot of intrinsic problems
L296[10:52:08] <madmerlyn> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rocket_launch_sites
L297[10:52:27] <madmerlyn> 39.26S 177.86E
L298[10:52:39] <ve2dmn> that far north?
L299[10:52:45] <madmerlyn> you mean south
L300[10:53:06] <ve2dmn> I was expecting closer to polar circle
L301[10:53:21] <madmerlyn> problem with piggybacking on a larger launch is you have less determination on the final orbit
L302[10:53:32] <madmerlyn> and, in partial abort situations, primary payload takes priority

L305[10:54:39] <madmerlyn> Rocket Labs remedies that with a smaller rocket that is affordable so the small customers can have more input on their orbital destination and not fall victim to a partial abort
L306[10:55:42] <madmerlyn> I don't know how/if payload insurance works, but I imagine it might even be cheaper to insure a payload on an Electron than as a secondary payload on a F9, due to the fact that its not a secondary payload
L307[10:56:07] <Gasher> em, but smaller rocket means smaller efficiency i think, no?
L308[10:56:23] <madmerlyn> not really
L309[10:56:39] <madmerlyn> RL's last launch had a gross weight of 10.5t
L310[10:56:40] <Gasher> i mean, until certain size
L311[10:56:55] <madmerlyn> they're estimating a cost for a launch being 4.9M
L312[10:57:28] <madmerlyn> that's up to 350kg to LEO or 250kg to the moon or a heliocentric orbit

L314[10:58:38] <madmerlyn> not sure what this efficiency question is, efficiency is determined by payload fraction for the most part, and generally the bigger the rocket the lower the payload fraction tends to be due to the need for additional engine mass

L324[11:03:43] <madmerlyn> at a cost that is similar or less than piggybacking on a bigger launch vehicle
L325[11:04:45] <madmerlyn> RL is planning on putting a ME mission on the moon this quarter too

L329[11:05:51] <madmerlyn> carbon fiber
L330[11:05:57] <madmerlyn> the entire rocket body is carbon fiber

L332[11:06:16] <ve2dmn> (sorry, fiber*)
L333[11:06:21] <madmerlyn> they 3d print most of the components, including the engine nozzle etc.

L335[11:07:02] <madmerlyn> it's kinda neat seeing farm equipment and cows in the foreground of it lol
L336[11:07:20] <madmerlyn> would've been better if they were sheep though
L337[11:07:25] <ve2dmn> If they can 'grow' a single 'crystal' of Carbon Fiber, the strength of that thing would be impressive
L338[11:08:17] <madmerlyn> depending on their manufacturing facility, 3D printing might make construction a bit faster too
L339[11:08:53] <madmerlyn> no need to roll steel and rivet together and then test and inspect joints
L340[11:09:47] <madmerlyn> I don't know all the details but I'd bet some of the only parts of the rocket that aren't 3D printed might be the actual fuel tanks inside the rocket body, IIRC it's a kerosene rocket
L341[11:10:01] <madmerlyn> and maybe some of the fuel lines
L342[11:11:52] <ve2dmn> Imperfections in a material (anything not perfect) brings down the strenght of the material.
L343[11:12:38] <ve2dmn> If you could make a single 'crystal' of perfect glass without any impurity it would have between 100x to 100000x the strength
L344[11:13:13] <ve2dmn> now imagine carbon fiber. For the same strength you could get MUCH lighter material
L345[11:13:37] <ve2dmn> so even if they can't make it perfect, any reductions in impurities will make the thing better

L590[14:23:52] <BadRocketsCo> TAC is pretty complicated but more realistic, if you're into that.
L591[14:24:15] <BadRocketsCo> ^Err, imho that is
L592[14:25:02] <Fluburtur> BadRocketsCo my main concern would be to get the right nozzle geometry
L593[14:25:05] <madmerlyn> RoverDude says he went simplified supplies because A) more in line with KSP as a whole, and B) managing food, water, and oxygen would effectively be the same as managing supplies, since all would have fixed consumption rates, it would just be having 3 times as many containers and converters
L594[14:25:13] <Fluburtur> but for that I need to know the chamber presure I guess
L595[14:25:25] <Fluburtur> and I need to find out if the nozzle tube will create too much losses
L596[14:26:28] <BadRocketsCo> Yup. It's a complicated thing to build.
L597[14:26:38] <BadRocketsCo> But would be cool to figure it out
L598[14:26:44] <spaceballs> ah ckan is such an awesome thing to have
L599[14:27:01] <Fluburtur> I guess we can estimate the presure and make a test nozzle
L600[14:27:06] <Fluburtur> then refine stuff
L601[14:27:25] <BadRocketsCo> Or, of course, you could just build the engine and hope it puts out enough thrust, heh.
L602[14:27:42] <Fluburtur> well I want to power a plane with it
L603[14:27:50] <Fluburtur> so I need to optimise it
L604[14:28:14] <BadRocketsCo> Yup. I am guessing you want it to be refuelable?

L630[14:44:30] <madmerlyn> https://i.imgur.com/cN9mnq0.png
L631[14:46:15] <ve2dmn> I wonder if you could hover 'in place' if you were at the barycenter between Pluto and Charon
L632[14:46:43] <JCB> you'd have to do some station keeping, but ya

L640[14:49:48] <madmerlyn> what.. like boiling water?
L641[14:49:57] <madmerlyn> very low impulse I'd imagine
L642[14:50:12] <madmerlyn> probably slightly better than just throwing rockets out the airlock
L643[14:50:17] <madmerlyn> rocks*
L644[14:50:33] <EricPoehlsen> hmm you can get some pretty high pressure from superheated steam
L645[14:51:09] <JCB> I know.. velocity and mass are major factors
L646[14:51:14] <madmerlyn> I don't think the exit velocity would be anywhere near a controlled explosion
L647[14:51:19] <UmbralRaptor> Molecular weight is quite good, but the low temperature trashes your Isp.
L648[14:51:23] <ve2dmn> JCB: you could probably find better use from the fact that a good 'cold source' for a 'thermodynamic cycle'
L649[14:51:45] <spaceballs> hmm the g force tolerance difficulty setting is a multiplier? is 1 "realistic" or does that mean they can only stand 1 g?
L650[14:51:59] <UmbralRaptor> I randomly want to say that H2O2 ? H2O+O2 is ~160 s.
L651[14:52:34] <JCB> heh.. turn water into a high speed plasma :P
L652[14:52:36] <madmerlyn> what is h202's street name?
L653[14:52:36] <UmbralRaptor> Uh, I don't have KSP in front of me, is it 1 on easy or medium?
L654[14:52:51] <spaceballs> it's not on at all even on hard unless you switch it on
L655[14:52:54] <UmbralRaptor> madmerlyn: hydrogen peroxide
L656[14:53:07] <UmbralRaptor> Uh, bot sure then.
L657[14:53:10] <EricPoehlsen> g-force tolerance is okay - making it higher then 1 - you won't be able to succeed in G-Force Missions
L658[14:53:11] <UmbralRaptor> *not

L664[14:56:43] <EricPoehlsen> I will have to do some math for a engine mod that I will be doing as part of some sci-fi based concept
L665[14:56:48] <madmerlyn> but water has much higher molecular weight than pure hydrogen
L666[14:57:18] <madmerlyn> there is no scenario where heating water would be more efficient than heating liquid hydrogen, other than the fact that water requires less tankage to be stable
L667[14:57:41] <JCB> guess it would depend on how much you have to take
L668[14:57:50] <JCB> large amounts, more complex tankage
L669[14:57:55] <madmerlyn> but on the other side of it, water is a lot heavier
L670[14:58:05] <madmerlyn> so you could probably do better with smaller liquid hydrogen tanks

L680[15:00:25] <EricPoehlsen> It is based on a sci-fi setting I am doing with some friends and I'll try to implement the concepts in KSP for fun (but keeping it balanced with Interstellar Extended - at least that is the plan
L681[15:00:40] <madmerlyn> but that thing was 60inches for accelerating small particles, the mass would be so negligible you'd have virtually no thrust

L745[16:43:34] <KrazyKrl> unlike stuff like Sid Meyer's Railroads, or Factorio?
L746[16:44:10] <KrazyKrl> as long as you can lose granularity, but gain scalability; i'd be happy.
L747[16:44:11] <madmerlyn> Factorio you place every building yourself, and isn't it mostly conveyor belts?
L748[16:44:30] <madmerlyn> it looks a lot like TTD in that you build the rails and provide the goods, and the cities grow on their own
L749[16:45:10] <madmerlyn> unlike a game like Cities where on top of building rails, roads, etc. you also have to plan the city itself
L750[16:45:12] <KrazyKrl> You can use ghost placement, and get robots to actually build the items. The idea in factorio is that you automate everything, so you practically feed the machine.
L751[16:45:49] <KrazyKrl> there are some addons for openTTD that let you tweak city growth factors along with the industries.
L752[16:46:19] <KrazyKrl> Pretty much if it's extensible, people have messed with it.
