L50[04:43:00] <markovify> that's hilarious
L51[04:43:08] <markovify> does it have tons of stamps?
L52[04:43:12] <markovify> you should frame it
L53[04:44:13] <GlassYuri> stamps, stickers, stamps with stickers, and a loose piece of paper fixed to it with a rubber band that is torn and has been taped back together

L167[09:07:08] <Pakaran> ?
L168[09:07:08] <EricPoehlsen> but they are easier to satisfy

L171[09:07:49] <EricPoehlsen> except scouts - they are like pilots
L172[09:08:09] <ve2dmn> I guess Pilots are used to small cockpits
L173[09:08:13] <Pakaran> they just can't provide SAS?
L174[09:08:39] <EricPoehlsen> scouts are some general purpose colonists
L175[09:09:00] <EricPoehlsen> But my colonization attempts so far have not been too great
L176[09:09:06] <Pakaran> yeah, I was sort of looking at the colony economy
L177[09:09:34] <Pakaran> it looks like I'll mostly use machinery and fertilizer from kerbin, at the least
L178[09:10:33] <Pakaran> always nice when mods come with new loading screen art :)
L179[09:11:42] <EricPoehlsen> With colonization my problems are the various resource requirements of different mods - so K&K / Pathfinder and MKS all want different building resources
L180[09:12:17] <Pakaran> ah, I have a lot of parts mods, but don't have other life support mods (though apparently TAC is supported), and don't have Interstellar.
L181[09:12:59] <EricPoehlsen> I like the shared resources that Pathfinder introduces
L182[09:13:29] <EricPoehlsen> because it allows for smaller bases scattered around with less risk for sudden kraken desintegration
L183[09:14:24] <Pakaran> ah, but it just turns into Factorio trying to arrange production of everything?
L184[09:14:56] <EricPoehlsen> that is why I have not gone into colony building
L185[09:15:12] <EricPoehlsen> somewhere along the lines you get from one game into another
L186[09:15:28] <Pakaran> ah, thanks.

L401[11:49:48] <Kalpa> Colonia isn't even that far away
L402[11:49:52] <Mathuin> Winds again?
L403[11:50:47] <umaxtu> As far as we know
L404[11:50:58] <Kalpa> Winds have been cited
L405[11:51:31] <Scolar_Visari> Kalpa: It's long enough when you can only make 25 light-year jumps.
L406[11:51:32] <umaxtu> I'm hoping that the fact they keep pushing it back in small increments means that the wind speed is trending down
L407[11:52:02] <Scolar_Visari> Of course, I stored my Python in a space garage and bought a Diamondback Explorer to make the journey home. 54 light year jumps FTW.
L408[11:52:47] <Kalpa> Bah, 25 light years was plenty back in the day
L409[11:52:48] <Scolar_Visari> I also discovered four (!) uncharted Earth-likes on the Neutron superhighway, which I did not expect!
L410[11:52:53] <TheKosmonaut> Diamondback Scout or get out
L411[11:53:04] <Kalpa> Asp Explorer or gtfo
L412[11:53:08] <TheKosmonaut> DBE is like an ugly 4-seater version of a 2-seater coupe
L413[11:53:30] <Kalpa> That said, I haven't flown in months
L414[11:53:33] <Althego> hehe the timer is increasing
L415[11:53:35] <Kalpa> In, actually, like half a year
L416[11:53:36] <TheKosmonaut> DBS for life
L417[11:53:46] <TheKosmonaut> I used to take on Anacondas in one DBS and win
L418[11:53:47] <Althego> now it is not even in minutes
L419[11:53:48] <Kalpa> Wonder if my Elite is even up to date...
L420[11:54:02] <Althego> i dont even have it installed
L421[11:54:04] <TheKosmonaut> I havent updated since they added planetary landings :S
L422[11:54:21] <Althego> but i think i have elite 2 with my last saves from the old old p1
L423[11:54:23] <Scolar_Visari> Kosmonaut: The Explorer has extra range plus better optional module space.
L424[11:54:31] <TheKosmonaut> Scolar_Visari: Blehhhh
L425[11:54:40] <TheKosmonaut> RULE OF COOL
L426[11:54:50] <TheKosmonaut> RoC > Utility
L427[11:54:50] <Scolar_Visari> Psht, the Explorer is cooler. We all know the Chieftain is the best.
L428[11:55:15] * Scolar_Visari still wished all four of the Chieftain's big engines swiveled.
L429[11:56:06] <Kalpa> ...Chieftain?
L430[11:56:19] <Scolar_Visari> Kalpa: It's a new Lakon Spaceways/Alliance ship.
L431[11:56:30] <Scolar_Visari> It's between the Federation Dropship and the Imperial Clipper.
L432[11:56:31] <Kalpa> Oh, great. Does it have excellent jump range?
L433[11:56:40] <Kalpa> Right, so bubble crap
L434[11:56:41] <TheKosmonaut> Diamonback Scout has the best abbreviation though, DBS
L435[11:56:48] <Mat2ch> 210k waiting :D
L436[11:56:48] <TheKosmonaut> then you can act like you own an Aston-Martin

L441[11:57:42] <Mathuin> If there's no difference, I can save an upgrade level by avoiding Electrics (only doing it for the probe core)
L442[11:57:46] <Blaank> dangit, why is launch being delayed?
L443[11:57:51] <Althego> too fat
L444[11:57:54] <Scolar_Visari> Kosmonaut: DBS < DBX. The letter 'X' automatically improves things.
L445[11:58:01] <Mathuin> Fat's fine, the rest of the rocket is that fat.
L446[11:58:35] <TheKosmonaut> Scolar_Visari: agree to disagree. Because everyone is entitled to their opinions... even if it's 100% false
L447[11:58:37] <TheKosmonaut> :P
L448[11:58:41] <TheKosmonaut> OK SLP MODE
L449[11:59:12] <Althego> sjw mode? :)
L450[11:59:18] <Scolar_Visari> Kalpa: It has a slightly better range than the Dropship.
L451[11:59:36] <Scolar_Visari> Kosmonaut: I'm afraid, comrade Kosmonaut, that you are only entitled to my own opinions.
L452[11:59:55] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: Except for the puny payload fairing.
L453[12:01:03] <Scolar_Visari> Teehee https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbmSD53UAAAZXsA.jpg:large
L454[12:01:20] <Mathuin> I have no fairings.
L455[12:01:40] <Mathuin> Closest thing I have to a fairing is the payload bay.
L456[12:01:50] <Mathuin> And I stuck the little probe core in there, with batteries, under the nose cone.
L457[12:01:58] <ve2dmn> I just came back from lunch... what the latest on SpaceX? 15:00 EST?
L458[12:02:01] <Scolar_Visari> I was thinking of the Falcon Heavy. It's just a fat Falcon 9 or, perhaps, a Falcon 9 with parasitic twins.
L459[12:02:19] <APlayer> More like a Falcon 27
L460[12:02:30] <ve2dmn> Or Falcon 999
L461[12:02:41] <APlayer> Falcon 9³
L462[12:03:25] <ve2dmn> Faclon 729?
L463[12:03:30] <Scolar_Visari> APlayer: The less successful Falcon model.
L464[12:03:31] ⇨ Joins: tawny (tawny!~tawny@pool-72-66-34-163.washdc.east.verizon.net)
L465[12:04:09] <ve2dmn> But it's Falcon 9 because of the 9 engine... so 27 is closest to the designation
L466[12:04:51] <Scolar_Visari> Falcon Overweight, which sounds more like an Age-of-Sail classification.
L467[12:05:02] <Scolar_Visari> Falcon 9 rocket-of-the-line.

L472[12:06:55] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Nanananana our rocket's tallest!
L473[12:07:06] <Deddly> "The first test flight of Falcon Heavy is now targeted for Tuesday, Feb. 6th at 3:05 PM ET from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Teams are watching upper level wind shear and will continue to update as information becomes available."
L474[12:07:12] <Althego> i had to say it, because of the tweet pic
L475[12:07:32] <APlayer> Althego: No. Not really.
L476[12:08:01] <Deddly> Launch window is only two and a half hours. Seems unlikely to happen at this point
L477[12:08:23] <APlayer> Deddly: Do you have a link to that?
L478[12:08:27] <tawny> aww :(
L479[12:08:29] <Blaank> Oh, wind changes at altitude?
L480[12:08:35] <Deddly> http://www.spacex.com/webcast
L481[12:08:51] <Ezko> Blaank: was that serious?
L482[12:08:52] <APlayer> Thank you!
L483[12:09:01] <Blaank> was what?
L484[12:09:06] <Ezko> your question
L485[12:09:11] <Blaank> I don't know what upper level wind shear is.
L486[12:09:22] <Blaank> I'm guessing it's winds changing directions at different layers.
L487[12:09:24] <KrazyKrl> It's a flock of geese with scissors.
L488[12:09:36] <Blaank> And I can see how it going one way then suddenly another way can screw with a rocket.
L489[12:09:40] <Scolar_Visari> None may leave the Garden https://snag.gy/Opf7Pw.jpg
L490[12:10:04] <Ezko> Blaank: have you ever went from a very high to a very low place within a short amount of time and noticed a change in wind speed and even possibly direction?
L491[12:10:17] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: There is 'withdrawal' from the garden
L492[12:10:31] <Blaank> I've never been exposed to wind above anything like 20m.
L493[12:10:36] <APlayer> Aye, stream no longer says 2 h, but 119 minutes
L494[12:10:36] <Blaank> So I wouldn't know.

L497[12:11:00] <Blaank> What is your point? I know it happens.
L498[12:11:24] <APlayer> Uh, you asked, haha
L499[12:11:28] <Ezko> i wanted to know if you were trolling
L500[12:11:38] <Blaank> what
L501[12:11:43] <Ezko> i wanted to know if you were trolling
L502[12:11:48] <Blaank> no.
L503[12:11:51] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: You just have to disembark upon request by the nice Nebula people.
L504[12:11:54] <Ezko> ok
L505[12:12:15] <Ezko> then i'll leave the rest for you to figure out
L506[12:12:24] <Blaank> I still don't know what exactly upper level wind shear is which is why I'm asking and was guessing .... not helping at all.
L507[12:12:51] <APlayer> Blaank: AFAIK, that's when wind is moving sideways relative to the rocket
L508[12:13:30] <APlayer> Also, Ezko: Nice people are nicer than not so nice ones, so please be a bit nicer ;-)
L509[12:13:35] <Scolar_Visari> And a rare example of an outpost on a moon with a highly inclined orbit aruond a ringed gas giant https://snag.gy/Kcw6Wm.jpg
L510[12:14:24] <ve2dmn> Wind shear was involved in the Challenger disaster... although it was not the cause
L511[12:14:26] <Ezko> APlayer: which part wasn't nice?!
L512[12:14:38] <Blaank> How did wind shear even matter to a brittle o-ring?
L513[12:15:01] <Ezko> "was not the cause"
L514[12:15:06] <APlayer> I apologize if you meant to be nice, but your last few messages did sound a bit harsh
L515[12:15:07] <KrazyKrl> I think wind shear is involved in 99.99% of launches.
L516[12:15:16] <Raazeer> does anyone know where I can get some decent V5 heatbreaks? The all-M6 kind?
L517[12:15:24] <Ezko> APlayer: i didn't though :))))))
L518[12:15:26] <Scolar_Visari> And three Diamondbacks docked at the same station https://snag.gy/uQqlTU.jpg
L519[12:15:29] <Raazeer> the only ones I could get barely have the threads filed off.
L520[12:15:37] <Blaank> Wind shear is a fact of life. It being bad enough to actually matter seems rare.
L521[12:15:44] * Scolar_Visari notes the middle Diamondback is the Scout configuration and the other two are Explorers.
L522[12:15:58] <APlayer> Anyway, we'll just blame written conversation troubles and consider everyone nice
L523[12:16:09] <Ezko> Blaank: have you heard of the jet stream shortening 10 hour flights by over an hour?
L524[12:16:19] <Blaank> Yes, that's just wind.
L525[12:16:20] <ve2dmn> Blaank: if I remember correctly, the fire created a 'seal' by melting melting and glass over the problem, and the wind shear re-opened the fissure enough for a fire to be projected in the direction of the main tank
L526[12:16:28] <Ezko> sure the air is much thinner at that altitude, but it's moving a lot faster there
L527[12:16:34] <Althego> generally westward flights are a bit longer than eastward. probably because of those jets
L528[12:16:37] <ve2dmn> ... but my memory is fuzzy on the suject
L529[12:16:43] <Althego> at least that was my experience
L530[12:17:11] <Tank2333> when is take off?
L531[12:17:13] <Ezko> Althego: i think the scheduled flight times have like an hour difference at 10 hours
L532[12:17:28] <Tank2333> lift off
L533[12:17:47] <Althego> i based this on hungary-germany and germany-canada trips
L534[12:17:51] <Ezko> Tank2333: current t-0 is bit under 2 hours from now
L535[12:17:54] <ve2dmn> Tank2333: http://nextrocket.space/
L536[12:17:59] <Althego> yes 112 minutes now
L537[12:18:01] <Althego> maybe
L538[12:18:06] <Tank2333> okay
L539[12:18:08] <Althego> 111

L541[12:18:21] * Scolar_Visari ponders Tesla Roadster impacting surface of Mars.
L542[12:18:22] <ve2dmn> unless weather decided to be an idiot again
L543[12:18:29] <Althego> it wont hit
L544[12:18:30] <APlayer> Actually, T+a few years already, but let's be optimistic regarding the launch time :D
L545[12:18:35] <Deddly> Blaank, there's a nice explanation here http://www.weatherquestions.com/What_is_wind_shear.htm
L546[12:18:51] <Althego> launch window to mars is not 2 hours usually
L547[12:18:59] <Althego> so they can try tomorrow
L548[12:19:12] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: The Weather cannot decide anything, we haven't completed The Weather Paradigm secret project yet.
L549[12:19:15] <ve2dmn> APlayer: Falcon Full thrust is actually as powerful as the original plans for Falcon Heavy (if my memory is right)
L550[12:19:22] <Deddly> Yeah they can try tomorrow, but today's window is 2 hours, apparently
L551[12:19:35] <Blaank> I know what wind shear is. The only thing I was asking is if they are delaying the rocket because of wind shear at high altitudes.
L552[12:19:37] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: That's what they WANT you to think.
L553[12:19:47] <Deddly> Blaank, oh. yes
L554[12:19:52] <Althego> probably because of erath rotation and inclination and stuff
L555[12:19:57] <APlayer> ve2dmn: Even considering that FH was initially planned to be asparagus-staged?
L556[12:20:01] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: If they did, I would've gotten a little pop-up reminding me.
L557[12:20:26] <Scolar_Visari> Though The Human Genome Project's already been researched.
L558[12:21:09] <Althego> with fuel flow from the boosters to the core
L559[12:21:37] * Scolar_Visari still aims to get the free technology unlock with Secrets of the Human Brain, if only to spite Kurzweil.
L560[12:21:44] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: yes. A few years ago. I'm waiting for the pop-up for the "Cure for Cancer"
L561[12:21:59] <Althego> you do know there is no such thing as THE cancer
L562[12:22:14] <Althego> there are a multitude of mechanisms
L563[12:22:18] <Althego> some of them are curable now
L564[12:22:20] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Poppycock! It's all the same! My techtree says so!
L565[12:22:32] <ve2dmn> Althego: ^
L566[12:23:19] <Scolar_Visari> The Longevity Vaccine is also a thing, because you can totes immunize yourself against aging!
L567[12:23:48] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: yes. It's called not living or the singularity
L568[12:24:30] <Scolar_Visari> The Singularity doesn't prevent death, as Ashes of the Singularity has shown.
L569[12:24:37] <ve2dmn> ...Although I think that's only in Stellaris
L570[12:25:18] <Scolar_Visari> Robotic leaders in Stellaris can still die given particular events.
L571[12:25:32] <ve2dmn> yes, but no more aging!
L572[12:26:14] <Scolar_Visari> Likewise, you don't need to resort to robotics for immortality. Psionic leaders can become The Chosen and get a immortality modifier in addition to a Unity bonus.

L628[12:44:59] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: Needs bigger fairing.
L629[12:45:46] <Scolar_Visari> Iskierka: Seriously though, Tomb Kings are good fun. Expendable infantry and pyramid-loads of statue monsters? Yes please.
L630[12:45:46] <Mathuin> If they recover the fairing, they'll get back everything but the payload and the second stage, right?
L631[12:45:55] <NolanSyKinsley> correct
L632[12:46:06] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: Well, that and a few explosive bolts.
L633[12:46:12] <Mathuin> And the fuel, but eh

L644[12:47:49] * Scolar_Visari is amused by the new Warhammer fantasy games in spite of the Age of Sigmar reboot.
L645[12:47:50] <Draconiator> :P
L646[12:48:19] <ve2dmn> Blaank: Soon (tm)
L647[12:48:20] <Blaank> How much dV wiggleroom do they have? Could they do a launch 12 hours opposite the window?
L648[12:48:30] <Blaank> soon™
L649[12:48:40] <Blaank> soon [alt+0153]
L650[12:48:49] <Blaank> I memorized the alt code for that.
L651[12:48:50] <Mathuin> The restrictions might not just be deltaV. They may only have paid the Air Force and others for this window.
L652[12:49:04] <Blaank> Hmm.... good point.
L653[12:49:12] <Blaank> Unsanctioned launches have a fine of how much?
L654[12:49:18] <Iskierka> dV is non-issue. look at payload mass
L655[12:49:21] <Mathuin> Probably loss of permits
L656[12:49:27] <Scolar_Visari> Blaank: None at all. The exact time is not a matter of launch windows, but the recommendations of the augers. You see, rocket launches cannot be conducted in inauspicious conditions.
L657[12:49:44] <Mathuin> Right-click part, see Change Name Tag, left-click button, nothing happens.
L658[12:49:44] <Blaank> what
L659[12:50:03] <Scolar_Visari> I am told that Elon Musk has Etruscan priests brought to the Cape to read the entrails of local fauna and movement of flocks of birds to determine the correct time for launching.
L660[12:50:07] <Blaank> And what stops Elon from launching without a permit?
L661[12:50:26] <Blaank> What stops him from holding all world leaders hostage with spent booster stages?
L662[12:50:34] <Scolar_Visari> Blaank: The anger of the rocketry gods will smite his vehicle down.
L663[12:50:36] <Blaank> Landing a falcon 9 core on the white house.
L664[12:50:42] <Althego> eh 114 minutes agian
L665[12:50:44] <Blaank> He could do it.
L666[12:50:47] <Blaank> Nothing is stopping him.
L667[12:50:57] <Scolar_Visari> Blaank: Range safety would probably detonate the stage.
L668[12:50:57] <Mathuin> Hard to reuse the business end of an ICBM.
L669[12:51:09] <Mathuin> Scolar_Visari: I thought they didn't have range safety explosive stuff on SpaceX gear.
L670[12:51:10] <ve2dmn> Blaank: it would be a problem for his future mars plans
L671[12:51:13] <Eddi|zuHause> do the priests say "wololo" and then the rocket changes colour?
L672[12:51:22] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: Why not? They've detonated them before!
L673[12:51:32] <Mathuin> WHen?
L674[12:51:42] <Scolar_Visari> When the Falcon 9 grasshopper 'sploded, for one.
L675[12:51:42] <Pakaran> hmm
L676[12:51:50] <Blaank> >implying he can't fly to space and rule over the world from there dropping tungsten rods on critics.
L677[12:51:52] <Scolar_Visari> It was initiated automatically.
L678[12:52:27] <Pakaran> I'm not sure Roverdude's warp drive mod is sufficient for interstellar distances in KSS. Especially given you can't time warp while under power (if you could, 100k seconds would be reasonable enough)
L679[12:52:33] <Mathuin> Hmm. F9 has an automated system to do that, previous launches from the Cape required Air Force. Not sure about Grasshopper.
L680[12:53:02] <Deddly> Falcon Heavy launch just got delayed again
L681[12:53:06] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: The Grasshopper's computer detonated it automatically as well, though I imagine SpaceX has the option for manual override.
L682[12:53:12] <Deddly> 3:45
L683[12:53:18] *** afk17 is now known as Shoe17
L684[12:53:25] <Pakaran> well, I can test it with an infinite fuel sandbox craft or something.
L685[12:53:29] <Deddly> But "Launch auto-sequence initiated"
L686[12:54:28] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: "During the flight, an anomaly was detected in the vehicle and the flight termination system automatically terminated the mission" from http://www.newspacejournal.com/2014/08/23/falcon-9-test-vehicle-destroyed-in-accident/
L687[12:54:29] <Mathuin> https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/502974683864518657 -- looks like the Grasshopper did blow itself up 3.5 years ago.
L688[12:54:29] <kmath> https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/502974683864518657 <elonmusk> Three engine F9R Dev1 vehicle auto-terminated during test flight. No injuries or near injuries. Rockets are tricky …
L689[12:54:34] <Mathuin> hahaha
L690[12:54:46] <Mathuin> But it looks like that was the only time it's happened.
L691[12:56:02] <Scolar_Visari> SpaceX CRS-7 had a range safety destruct signal sent to it, albeit after the carrier vehicle had already detonated.
L692[12:56:33] <Blaank> I think one time the range safety detonation was sent like a minute after it blew up as a formality.
L693[12:56:43] <Pakaran> ok, yeah, from Kerbol to The All would apparently be about 10^6 seconds at the speed of light. reasonable if and only if time-warping is possible.
L694[12:56:57] <Scolar_Visari> Well, you don't want some idiot poking fallen high explosives with a stick.
L695[12:58:11] <Mathuin> The article I read theorized that toxic fuel in the ocean was the reason to send the signal after breakup.
L696[12:58:32] <APlayer> LOL https://twitter.com/xwithmywoes/status/960948885077352449

L698[12:58:59] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: Psht. I'm sure that stuff's good for ya'.
L699[12:59:25] <Pakaran> I could just remove Alcubierre Drive mod and install KSPIE...
L700[13:00:03] <Pakaran> thing is I don't know how well it would work with RoverDude's mods, what with things like tritium... hmm
L701[13:02:44] * Scolar_Visari ponders going back to more Waaaghammer as launch will probably delay into oblivion.
L702[13:03:02] <Scolar_Visari> Or back to Stellaris?

L704[13:03:23] <Scolar_Visari> Bleh.
L705[13:03:31] <ve2dmn> why not both?
L706[13:04:48] <Scolar_Visari> Well I *do* have two monitors.
L707[13:05:00] <Scolar_Visari> Well, actually, ones a TV for viewing during Elite long-hauls.
L708[13:05:01] <ve2dmn> Stellaris with the Warhammer mods?
L709[13:05:11] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: Yes, but it's *fantasy* Warhammer!
L710[13:05:29] <ve2dmn> pff. Space Elves are best elves

L712[13:05:53] <Iskierka> depending on what it might not conflict
L713[13:06:22] <Scolar_Visari> Iskierka: Yes, Stellaris already has the Warp, but it does not have proper Lizardmen.

L844[14:41:05] <EricPoehlsen> + all the people who watch on TV and not the SpaceX Livestream
L845[14:41:07] <tawny> and then taped two other big tall birds to its side
L846[14:41:15] <Scolar_Visari> tawny: Big Bird Heavy.
L847[14:41:35] <Ezko> Scolar_Visari: yeah but they'll get better
L848[14:42:01] <Ezko> can't see excrement captain
L849[14:43:07] <Scolar_Visari> Somewhat Bigger Bird Heavy
L850[14:43:14] <TheUnamusedFox> Almost two million viewers
L851[14:43:36] * Scolar_Visari wonders why stream did not default to, "Better Than Real Life" resolution.
L852[14:43:36] <mrBlaQ> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
L853[14:43:40] <Tank2333> ITS HAPPENNING
L854[14:43:45] <APlayer> Godspeed, little big rocket!
L855[14:43:52] <EricPoehlsen> yay :D
L856[14:43:58] <APlayer> Also, yes, IT'S HAPPENING! :D
L857[14:44:04] <petti> I love how the narration stopped
L858[14:44:15] <Scolar_Visari> Only a minute left? Geeze, time flies when you're messing with time dilation.
L859[14:44:25] * Scolar_Visari should probably not orbit so close to a black hole.
L860[14:44:31] <ve2dmn> 1.9 million viewers
L861[14:44:41] <APlayer> Stream lagging/stopped for me :/
L862[14:44:57] <Tank2333> 10s
L863[14:44:58] <Althego> here it comes
L864[14:45:00] * Scolar_Visari eagerly awaits fireworks.
L865[14:45:17] <ve2dmn> Liffoff!
L866[14:45:22] <Althego> go go go
L867[14:45:25] <EricPoehlsen> go
L868[14:45:32] <Althego> success already by elon'"s standards
L869[14:46:14] <Tank2333> its flying down!
L870[14:46:16] <Tank2333> :)
L871[14:46:25] <Scolar_Visari> As it turns out, putting two more rockets on the sides increases thrust.
L872[14:46:26] <Tank2333> flat earth confirmed
L873[14:46:58] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: moar boosters confirmed
L874[14:47:14] <Tortoise767> WOOOOOOOHHH
L875[14:47:32] * Scolar_Visari ponders if the FH engineers are relieved that their KSP Unity 5 simulations of the connecting struts worked in real life.
L876[14:47:57] <Althego> it didnt kerbal
L877[14:48:00] <EricPoehlsen> yay
L878[14:48:02] <Tank2333> no
L879[14:48:05] <Althego> where the boosters nose hiot the core
L880[14:48:06] <Tank2333> no explosion
L881[14:48:09] <Tank2333> i want refund
L882[14:48:33] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Nonsense. They simply quick-loaded after several explosions.
L883[14:48:36] <Althego> lol
L884[14:48:37] ⇨ Joins: Supercheese (Supercheese!~Superchee@50-37-113-10.mscw.id.frontiernet.net)
L885[14:48:41] <EricPoehlsen> second engine ignited
L886[14:48:51] <Althego> so it will probably work now
L887[14:49:05] <Althego> for the landing
L888[14:49:06] <Scolar_Visari> Whatever the fate of the core stages, we now must deal with the ethical concerns of having placed a car into deep space.
L889[14:49:08] <Althego> that is different
L890[14:49:20] <Althego> hahaha the car
L891[14:49:20] <mrBlaQ> ARGH!
L892[14:49:22] <Tank2333> lol
L893[14:49:27] <Tank2333> dont panic lol
L894[14:49:32] <Althego> lol
L895[14:49:37] <Althego> i was typing that to discord
L896[14:49:54] * Scolar_Visari begins to ponder if the car will return to Earth on its backswing or be perturbed into a permanent heliocentric orbit.
L897[14:50:10] <Supernovy> glad it wasn't N-1 2: Korolevtric Boogaloo
L898[14:50:13] <Supernovy> with all those engines
L899[14:50:17] <Althego> hehe
L900[14:50:27] <Althego> only one of those engines failed yet
L901[14:50:37] <Scolar_Visari> Supernovy: The vibration of 27 engines would be rather unpleasant.
L902[14:50:45] <Althego> there is a good ttrack record
L903[14:50:50] <Tank2333> maybe the tesla comes back to earth like vyger in sta trek 1
L904[14:51:06] <Althego> hehe
L905[14:51:16] <Tank2333> sentient all that :)
L906[14:51:23] <Althego> or oyage and pion in the whatsitsname anime
L907[14:51:24] <Tank2333> "where is my master"
L908[14:51:27] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: No, it would return as a Model S.
L909[14:51:30] <Ezko> speed data on all would be nice
L910[14:51:51] <Althego> (v)oyage(r) and pion(eer) as funny ai androids
L911[14:51:58] <Tank2333> Ezko they need a unity upgrade for that
L912[14:52:01] * Scolar_Visari notes that sending a tank would've been a better demonstration of the maximum lifting capabilities.
L913[14:52:28] <Scolar_Visari> You could probably get a Sherman tank into orbit without ditching the boosters?
L914[14:52:35] <Tank2333> scolar but not 60 tons to mars
L915[14:52:53] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: No, but that would be about a modern MBT.
L916[14:53:18] <Althego> haha i can see the flame from the other booster from the camera
L917[14:53:20] <Tank2333> i thought they where delaying them
L918[14:53:20] <Althego> of the one
L919[14:53:23] <Althego> and tehy landed
L920[14:53:25] <Althego> operfectly
L921[14:53:27] <Ezko> Tank2333: ah right
L922[14:53:35] <EricPoehlsen> they actually did it syncronous - wow
L923[14:53:40] <Scolar_Visari> Huh, they landed at the same time. Just like in KSP.
L924[14:53:47] <Althego> there was something about 15 sec difference
L925[14:53:53] <Althego> but now they did it at the same
L926[14:54:01] <Althego> as usual no image
L927[14:54:06] <Althego> always
L928[14:54:11] <Althego> i think they are cheating
L929[14:54:18] * Scolar_Visari imagines the signal returning with lots of fire.
L930[14:54:20] <Tank2333> me too
L931[14:54:23] <Tank2333> CGI
L932[14:54:39] <Supernovy> new Olympic sport: synchronised booster landing
L933[14:54:41] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: You can't launch objects beyond the Firmanent, silly!
L934[14:54:43] <Tank2333> at least they say that they lost the signal :)
L935[14:54:46] <Althego> at least have an external image from an other ship
L936[14:54:51] <Tank2333> not like some other space company
L937[14:55:05] <Althego> which other
L938[14:55:10] <Althego> even if they lost the core, it is nice
L939[14:55:11] <Scolar_Visari> Exploding Rockets Co.
L940[14:55:13] <Althego> and there is the car
L941[14:55:20] <Althego> wngine cutoff
L942[14:55:20] <Tank2333> ariane?
L943[14:55:31] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: Hey now, Ariane 5s are quite reliable.
L944[14:55:38] <Scolar_Visari> Also have a better payload fairing.
L945[14:55:43] <Tank2333> im not talking about the rocket
L946[14:55:44] <Althego> ok they used to explode because of overflow error
L947[14:55:51] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: Ariane Grande cannot into space.
L948[14:55:58] <Tank2333> no
L949[14:56:00] <Tank2333> ^^
L950[14:56:19] <Scolar_Visari> Even her voice is insufficient for lifting payloads. Now if you combined her with an Adele booster, we can talk.
L951[14:56:36] <oren> full successs
L952[14:56:40] <Tank2333> hello
L953[14:56:41] <Mod9000> Hello, Tank2333
L954[14:56:45] <Mathuin> That was amazing.
L955[14:56:47] <Scolar_Visari> Show the stage. I wanna get back to cleansing the Badlands in the name of Settra.
L956[14:56:52] <Mathuin> Seriously amazing.
L957[14:57:20] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: Well, it *would* have been amazing if it was, like, a Lamborghini.
L958[14:57:24] <Tank2333> pretty cool yeah
L959[14:57:46] <Scolar_Visari> But a Tesla Roadster's just a Lotus plus batteries.
L960[14:57:47] <Tank2333> 2.2 mil views
L961[14:58:01] <Mat2ch> Woah
L962[14:58:01] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: Almost as much as my State of the Helghast Union.
L963[14:58:02] <Tortoise767> That was fing amazing.
L964[14:58:04] <Supernovy> is there life on Musk?
L965[14:58:08] <Tank2333> i guess its without the li ion batteries
L966[14:58:39] <Mat2ch> did you see the one problem with FH? :D
L967[14:58:47] <TheUnamusedFox> So... I have no words
L968[14:58:49] <EricPoehlsen> so now all that is left, is the injection burn in about six hours
L969[14:58:54] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: A battery fire on the pad would've been an amusing way to prematurely end a mission.
L970[14:58:57] <Tank2333> well maybe ariane can Hello in Soundgarden
L971[14:59:00] <TheUnamusedFox> That double landing was BEAUTIFULL
L972[14:59:16] <RandomJeb> I wonder if the main stack is okay
L973[14:59:23] <Mat2ch> TheUnamusedFox: for quite some time I thought they were showing us only the footage of one booster :D
L974[14:59:26] <Scolar_Visari> RandomJeb: Unknown.
L975[14:59:36] <Mathuin> Mat2ch: my secret fear was that both were programmed for the same landing pad
L976[14:59:38] <RandomJeb> I'm watching their twitter
L977[14:59:41] <Mat2ch> But did you see the one major problem? ;)
L978[14:59:55] <Mat2ch> Mathuin: yeah, I had that thought for a second, too :)
L979[14:59:59] <Mat2ch> Ok, here it comes
L980[15:00:01] <Scolar_Visari> Mathuin: Almost as bad as the Polyus launch incident.
L981[15:00:07] <Althego> i need to make my braking burn to go back to the kerbin soi
L982[15:00:10] <Fluburtur> that double landing was great
L983[15:00:13] <Mat2ch> the boosters didn't separate simulatniously.
L984[15:00:20] <Blaank> Well it didn't blow up.
L985[15:00:21] <Althego> i was just plannign the maneuver when we hit 30 sec
L986[15:00:24] <Mat2ch> The pushed the central core a bit around
L987[15:00:26] <Mat2ch> *They
L988[15:00:40] <APlayer> RandomJeb: I'd appreciate a highlight if you see anything related to the center stage
L989[15:00:44] <Supernovy> I wonder if polyus is connected to polybius...
L990[15:00:45] <UmbralRaptor> So, boosters recovered, core was stolen by @waywardboat?
L991[15:00:58] <Scolar_Visari> Mat2tch: If you looked closely, they were pushed off of the main stage by tiny people.
L992[15:01:07] <Scolar_Visari> UmbralRaptor: Gremlins, of course.
L993[15:01:13] <UmbralRaptor> Supernovy: via Tetris, maybe.
L994[15:01:26] <Supernovy> Of course!
L995[15:02:38] * Scolar_Visari actually recalls von Braun discussing manual disconnection and casting off of spent cislunar rocket stages by teams of astronauts prior to the invention of reliable explosive bolts.
L996[15:02:46] <Blaank> So did the core stage make it down?
L997[15:02:58] <Blaank> I think one of the booster stages came down hard and bent a landing leg.
L998[15:02:59] <Scolar_Visari> Blaank: Yes. Whether it survived or not has not been disclosed.
L999[15:03:02] <Blaank> It was tilting a bit.
L1000[15:03:11] <EricPoehlsen> well of course it came down
L1001[15:03:20] <Blaank> Make it down in one piece.
L1002[15:04:10] <Fluburtur> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVYWR2IUQAAutMB.jpg
L1003[15:04:36] <Blaank> It looks exactly like the CG mockups. Coincindence? I think not!
L1004[15:04:47] <Scolar_Visari> Wake up sheeples!

L1007[15:05:38] <APlayer> Wow, I was ninja'd
L1008[15:05:54] <Tank2333> Flubadub was faster
L1009[15:06:28] <Scolar_Visari> Does this mean that we can now start working towards the Science Victory?
L1010[15:06:37] <TheUnamusedFox> Any news on schrodingers core?
L1011[15:06:46] <Scolar_Visari> It's neither landed nor exploded into pieces.
L1012[15:06:52] <Scolar_Visari> It will pick a state once we observe it.
L1013[15:06:52] <TheUnamusedFox> It apparantly landed and crashed at the same time, according to many different sources...
L1014[15:06:54] <Tank2333> Scolar_Visari i thought nasa won already with STS 1
L1015[15:07:12] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: Yeah, but, that was back when Alpha Centauri was the space victory. Now it's Mars.
L1016[15:07:38] <Tank2333> never played civ :) just watched some letsplays
L1017[15:07:52] <ve2dmn> Tank2333: what are you waiting?
L1018[15:08:01] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: Civilization V is best civilization.
L1019[15:08:24] <Tank2333> that is the consense of the youtubers too :)
L1020[15:08:28] <Supercheese> Civ IV had a really good modding scene a while back
L1021[15:08:28] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: Freeciv is the best fun/$ ratio
L1022[15:08:34] * Scolar_Visari is still perturbed that Firaxis made Cleopatra the leader of Egypt in spite of her being a Ptolemy.
L1023[15:08:43] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: You can't divide by zero, silly!
L1024[15:08:49] <Scolar_Visari> Freeciv is UNDEFINED.
L1025[15:08:53] <Supercheese> I even wrote a couple small mods and contributed to a larger one, but it's a rather old game now
L1026[15:09:15] <Scolar_Visari> Supercheese: Civ V has a rather extensive list of mods, too, though I still wish Firaxis would've moved to a globe.
L1027[15:09:26] <UmbralRaptor> Scolar_Visari: pls no. No undefined behavior.
L1028[15:09:35] <TheUnamusedFox> According to a picture uplaoded by someone on /r/spacex IRC, the core has landed... kind of
L1029[15:09:45] <TheUnamusedFox> A leg is bent completely to hell

L1032[15:10:12] <Tank2333> oh lol
L1033[15:10:15] <Supercheese> wow, how is that still standing?
L1034[15:10:15] <APlayer> I saw such a core already
L1035[15:10:19] <oren> Scolar_Visari: the leader of egypt should be akhenaten
L1036[15:10:23] <APlayer> Not sure if that's the same or not
L1037[15:10:27] <ve2dmn> That looks like an old video
L1038[15:10:31] <Scolar_Visari> oren: Sun worshipping heretic!
L1039[15:10:45] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: Praise the sun!
L1040[15:10:55] <Supernovy> There's like a thousand egyptian leaders, it's been around for a long time.
L1041[15:11:04] <Scolar_Visari> oren: It's not like there weren't other female leaders, either. Why they chose the final Hellenic leader of a foreign dynasty continues to elude me.
L1042[15:11:20] <Tank2333> but they have to serve the plebs
L1043[15:11:31] <Tank2333> so ceopatra it is
L1044[15:11:38] <Draconiator> Wow it's workinggggg!
L1045[15:11:41] <TheUnamusedFox> Yeah, I would take that with a grian of salt now that my surge of hype induced adrenaline is over
L1046[15:12:01] <Scolar_Visari> Heck, Hatshepsut was even in Civilization IV!
L1047[15:12:28] <TheUnamusedFox> That may or may not be an old image someone decided to troll with, but I think it's the current landing... I hope it's the current landing

L1061[15:14:24] <Scolar_Visari> Tank2333: Warhammer is best Total War.
L1062[15:14:37] <Tank2333> shogun 2 was the last one i played

L1066[15:15:22] <ve2dmn> Draconiator: what live chat? the official live chat was disabled
L1067[15:15:33] * Scolar_Visari still ponders why CA chose to make ginormous cities and castles with equally ginormous walls for sieges in every game instead of going for smaller, more defensible structures.
L1068[15:15:35] <Tank2333> ANY live chat
L1069[15:16:05] <ve2dmn> .... sadly right
L1070[15:16:09] <Draconiator> And apparently the center one landed too.
L1071[15:16:31] <NolanSyKinsley> Hopefully landed in one piece
L1072[15:16:41] <Scolar_Visari> Case in point, here's a level 1 castle that's larger than most actual Medieval cities https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nCpQm4YT6ck/maxresdefault.jpg

L1079[15:17:58] * Scolar_Visari hated siege battles in Shogun 2 with upgraded castles.
L1080[15:19:55] <Scolar_Visari> Wikipedia says the fate of the core stage is still unknown.
L1081[15:21:25] <RandomJeb> well it got close enough to the drone ship to shake it to lose telemetry so I'm going with landed but tipped over
L1082[15:21:47] <RandomJeb> their twitter has been quiet for 25 minutes now

L1106[15:26:03] <EricPoehlsen> hmm I wonder if they used their fuel margin for the center core due to wobble control
L1107[15:26:29] <Scolar_Visari> Draconiator: Amusingly, the Falcon Heavy may not see much in the way of launches.
L1108[15:26:43] <KrazyKrl> Except for that passenger flyby of the moon in december.
L1109[15:26:46] <Supernovy> Only problem is you have to avoid underpasses, because the escape tower is too tall.

L1111[15:26:52] <KrazyKrl> and those few launches in march and april.
L1112[15:27:01] <Scolar_Visari> It was envisioned long before improvements to the throw weight in the standard Falcon 9s, and that puny payload fairing . . .
L1113[15:27:15] <EricPoehlsen> KrazyKrl: they said they won't rate FH for human flights
L1114[15:27:31] <EricPoehlsen> they want to go on to BFR next
L1115[15:28:19] <Scolar_Visari> Eric: A cislunar flight on the Falcon Heavy was announced last year.
L1116[15:28:41] <Scolar_Visari> I am . . . doubtful of it happening.
L1117[15:28:58] <Mathuin> Oh hey, did the fairings get recovered as was planned?
L1118[15:29:09] <Draconiator> Center core is gone, but still a HUGE success.

L1121[15:30:03] <EricPoehlsen> so there is the mention of not rating the FH for manned flights
L1122[15:30:37] <Ezko> is shhtps like super http secure
L1123[15:30:47] <Scolar_Visari> BFR within the near futrue is even more doubtful.

L1126[15:31:44] <Draconiator> Just saw people in chat say that.
L1127[15:31:50] <KrazyKrl> It's the "Shh total protection system" Bulletproof earmuffs.

L1133[15:32:34] <EricPoehlsen> and probably a 'major' success is better for future development than a full success

L1138[15:33:13] <Scolar_Visari> Those poor, poor people.
L1139[15:33:25] <Draconiator> How does this thing measure up to the Delta Heavy anyway?

L1142[15:33:38] <Supernovy> well, for one it starts with F instead of D.
L1143[15:33:47] <Scolar_Visari> Draconiator: It's like two Delta IV Hs in terms of maximum payload capacity, but with a punier payload fairing.

L1147[15:35:09] <Scolar_Visari> However, the payload capacity with all stages reused is likely similar if not smaller.

L1151[15:35:46] <Draconiator> In a sort of cosmic dance, the three first-stage core boosters returned to Earth much like SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets have in the past. Two boosters touched down at SpaceX landing sites at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station near KSC. The third was scheduled to land on SpaceX's drone-ship landing pad "Of Course I Still Love You," stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. However, the video feed on the drone cut out before the booster se

L1153[15:36:28] <Scolar_Visari> Iskierka: The trick is to make denser payloads!
L1154[15:36:35] <KrazyKrl> Reusable GTO cargo on the FH is ~6,000kg. Expendable GTO on a DIVH is ~14,220kg
L1155[15:36:42] * Scolar_Visari imagines a larger payload fairing would require a redesigned upper stage.
L1156[15:36:57] <KrazyKrl> Expendable GTO on FH is ~22,000kg
L1157[15:37:04] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: nah. just more space tape
L1158[15:37:14] <Iskierka> It requires the whole rocket to be redesigned as it's an issue with the fineness ratio
L1159[15:37:23] <Iskierka> which you can't significantly affect on only the upper stage
L1160[15:37:35] <Scolar_Visari> Iskierka: Psht, the Atlas V!
L1161[15:37:47] <Iskierka> has way less fineness than Falcon 9
L1162[15:37:48] <Fluburtur> I feel like they could have launched more cars
L1163[15:37:57] <EricPoehlsen> well as side dish, they propably get some nice data from their suit
L1164[15:38:13] <Scolar_Visari> Fluburtur: I was hoping for a tank.
L1165[15:38:30] <Fluburtur> would have been pretty cool
L1166[15:38:32] <Scolar_Visari> See, just make it so you can put your payload fairing base underneath the upper stage! https://mk0spaceflightnoa02a.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/CLHVbxdUcAA0kMr.jpg-large.jpeg
L1167[15:38:37] <Fluburtur> or that spitfire for funkirk
L1168[15:38:39] <Scolar_Visari> Fluburtur: A Sherman Tank in orbit.
L1169[15:38:40] <Iskierka> which is probably why they're not going ahead with human-rating and such. Kinda realising FH is dead in the water and doesn't have much market, so they're moving past it to BFR
L1170[15:38:43] <Fluburtur> or that one dr who episode
L1171[15:38:54] <Scolar_Visari> Iskierka: They made the Falcon 9 too well!
L1172[15:39:29] * Scolar_Visari remembers talk of the Falcon Heavy being avoided entirely come up many years ago as the Falcon 9 payload capacities improved to facilitate reuse.
L1173[15:39:30] <KrazyKrl> FH imo is a cheap way to the outer solar system. BFR is the terrestrial spaceplane/Lunar stuff.
L1174[15:39:44] <Draconiator> No news yet on the third core...I'ma make some burgers
L1175[15:39:48] <Scolar_Visari> KrazyKrl: Eh . . . It's not really good for lifting things like a larger vehicle with better payload fairing.
L1176[15:40:17] <Scolar_Visari> Which is why SpaceX never really discussed using any of the Falcon rockets for stuff like that.

L1179[15:40:40] <Scolar_Visari> Also: 50 tons maximum for payloads make designing stuff like deep space vehicles a pain.
L1180[15:40:57] <EricPoehlsen> I would assume the third core lost - and as mentioned before - a major partial success is probably better for future development
L1181[15:41:08] <Scolar_Visari> Eric: A partially successful failure.
L1182[15:41:15] <EricPoehlsen> than a full success on the first test

L1184[15:41:54] <Althego> take that flat earthers
L1185[15:42:00] <Scolar_Visari> KrazyKrl: Mass gain in aerospace projects is a serious issue during R&D, and I can think that trying to fit something (like say, a nuclear thermal rocket core) would be a pain with just 50 tons to work with an no wiggle room.
L1186[15:42:00] <Mathuin> https://twitter.com/arnaldocapo/status/960983886787502085 clever, but totally believable too.

L1191[15:42:34] <Althego> i wonder if the suite is pressurized

L1216[15:49:08] <Scolar_Visari> Though I think all three of these cores were reused?
L1217[15:49:12] <Fluburtur> maybe it ran out of fuel and finally sinked the ship
L1218[15:49:22] <Mat2ch> Scolar_Visari: the center core was new

L1444[18:06:38] <NolanSyKinsley> watching it now
L1445[18:06:51] <Fluburtur> so did they finally sink it?
L1446[18:06:58] <KrazyKrl> i heard the water, due to the outer 2 engines not igniting with the center one igniting.
L1447[18:07:43] <Blaank> link
L1448[18:08:14] <Blaank> link to crash. I wanna see the center core "landing".
L1449[18:08:35] <KrazyKrl> Well, they need to recover the drone ship first.
L1450[18:08:42] <NolanSyKinsley> Musk said it hit the drone ship and tookout 2 of it's engines
L1451[18:09:02] <KrazyKrl> I heard it didn't ignite the 3 engines required, with only the center igniting.
L1452[18:09:13] <KrazyKrl> So it missed the drone ship, impacting the water at 300mph
L1453[18:09:25] <NolanSyKinsley> oh, the audio was really bad for me then
L1454[18:09:50] <Pakaran> do they know if they can repair it?
L1455[18:10:28] <Odin> The barge? if it didn't sink they almost certainly will
L1456[18:10:31] <KrazyKrl> i don't think anything happened to the drone ship... it depends on how it impacted.
L1457[18:10:34] <Odin> Booster was supposed to be a throwaway anyhow
L1458[18:10:46] <Odin> He made it sound like the impact damaged 2 of the barge's engine pods
L1459[18:11:55] <zilti> When the engines didn't fire, it's impossible the core stage hit the drone ship.
L1460[18:12:06] <Fluburtur> if one did it might
L1461[18:12:10] <Fluburtur> unless it had a failsafe
L1462[18:12:13] <diveyez> I think I need to redo my modlist, something isnt right with eve and SRSS
L1463[18:12:23] <Odin> center engine ignited, outers did not.
L1464[18:12:31] <Odin> So it had some thrust, but not enough to land intact
L1465[18:12:37] <KrazyKrl> I'd imagine that if all three engines don't ignire properly... there is a contigency to miss the barge if possible.
L1466[18:12:57] <Odin> Yeah, it probably came down next to it and damaged it but shouldn't have hit hard enough to sink it
L1467[18:13:10] <zilti> It'd still need to ignite at least one of the outer engines to even align the rocket to the barge
L1468[18:13:41] <KrazyKrl> The fact is, for some reason (possibly low fuel); 2/3 of the engines required did not fire properly.
L1469[18:13:51] <Fluburtur> one day they will succeed in bringing down that boat!
L1470[18:14:01] <Odin> Makes me wonder why they don't arm 5 of the engines for restart
L1471[18:14:06] <Odin> Ignite engine 5 (center)
L1472[18:14:08] <Ezko> were they going for 3 engine landing on the drone ship?
L1473[18:14:10] <Fluburtur> more plumbing
L1474[18:14:10] <Odin> Then ignite 2 and 7
L1475[18:14:18] <Odin> If 2 or 7 fail, shut down 2/7 and ignite 3/6
L1476[18:14:19] <diveyez> Oic
L1477[18:14:23] <Odin> Redundant landing engines
L1478[18:14:26] <Fluburtur> requires more hardware to relight the engines
L1479[18:14:31] <Odin> Not by much
L1480[18:14:35] <KrazyKrl> You need restart capability on more engines... along with more helium purges and whatnot for the turbopumps.
L1481[18:14:44] <KrazyKrl> restart capability is HEAVY
L1482[18:14:45] <Odin> Its the same engines throughout, just a matter of how many engines have the igniters connected etc
L1483[18:15:07] <Fluburtur> they need the hypergolic fuel for the igniters and stuff to pump it
L1484[18:15:10] <KrazyKrl> you also need to purge the internals when shutdown... along with differing designs.
L1485[18:15:22] <Ezko> i'd assume that the engines that restart have a different ignition system from the ones that don't
L1486[18:15:24] <Fluburtur> I guess ignition failure and low fuel did fun stuff
L1487[18:15:28] <Odin> Ah. So the restartable engines are a different spec than the ones that only fire once
L1488[18:15:35] <Odin> But it sounds like it came down next to the barge
L1489[18:15:36] <KrazyKrl> oh yea they are... space is complex.
L1490[18:15:44] <Odin> and when it fell over as they usually do, that's what actually damaged the barge
L1491[18:15:56] <Ezko> mr starman is back in daylight
L1492[18:15:59] <KrazyKrl> There was definitely stuff impinging on the barge... the question is where it impacted.
L1493[18:16:13] <Odin> Yeah. Before the stream failed there was smoke and mist over the barge
L1494[18:16:30] <Odin> But it wasn't on target, so the craft probably didn't have enough thrust to kill hvel and overshot the barge
L1495[18:16:33] <Odin> then fell back against it
L1496[18:16:45] <Odin> Too bad they haven't shown footage, it'd be cool to see

L1547[19:22:03] <Blaank> Do you think they have a betting pool at SpaceX on if they will sink the boat this time or not?
L1548[19:22:03] <KrazyKrl> Yep. FYI you could see the livestream of the empty droneship during the actual launch in a monitor in the backround.
L1549[19:24:33] <Blaank> They do target next to the boat so if the engines don't ignite it will slam into the water at absurd speeds. If only 1 engine ignited, it would still probably slam into the water at slightly less absurd speeds.
L1550[19:24:58] <Blaank> Man, that roadster is up there.
L1551[19:25:19] <KrazyKrl> 300mph at impact with the water isn't an absurd speed for a whatever tonne rocket stage?

L1555[19:26:07] <Blaank> At least not the level the ISS is at but it's pretty low.
L1556[19:26:24] <KrazyKrl> Elon said he needed the titanium grid fins off of the F9 boosters though... he expected the redesigned center stage to fail (which is also why it landed at sea)
L1557[19:26:53] <Blaank> Oh, neat, using titanium now.
L1558[19:26:58] <Blaank> Weight savings?
L1559[19:27:50] <KrazyKrl> stronger and the titanium doesn't ablate
L1560[19:27:58] <KrazyKrl> which makes reusing the stage much easier.
L1561[19:28:24] <KrazyKrl> those 4 foot by 5 foot grid fins (made out of titanium) aren't cheap.
L1562[19:28:30] <KrazyKrl> especially with 8 of them

L1569[19:33:26] <KrazyKrl> And the center stage was a complete redesign due to the 1,000,000 lb+ loading it needed to take.

L1709[23:32:25] <Pakaran> I really need to save for the level 2 VAB.
L1710[23:33:11] <Pakaran> my other idea was using 0.5m or even 0.3m boosters just to get off the pad.

L1712[23:35:22] <Pakaran> but basically, the first stage is just a lateral basic chute, and a lateral basic drogue chute, upscaled one size. turns out the drogue isn't necessary -- it has a lot more drag for its mass than something heavy like a pod.
L1713[23:36:49] <Pakaran> (the other thing is next time I need to over-engineer for a problem, I can just remove the stage recovery stuff, and/or science).
L1714[23:39:10] <TheKosmonaut> Well, I like to use AIRBRAKES in lieu of gridfins if I am playing stock
L1715[23:39:29] <TheKosmonaut> and I dont usually do any sort of braking maneuver other than boost-back
L1716[23:39:37] <TheKosmonaut> I dont need to land on a pad or anything, just near KSC is fine
L1717[23:39:49] <TheKosmonaut> That said, I dont exactly try to aim for anything beyond rule of cool
L1718[23:40:20] <Pakaran> heh nice
L1719[23:40:58] <Pakaran> I may just timewarp to some more lucrative contracts, or try to do a more controlled suborbital rocket to do some of the observations over Kerbin.
L1720[23:47:05] <taniwha> Pakaran: btw, handy command for the debug console: /ksc
L1721[23:47:27] <Pakaran> what does it do?
L1722[23:47:36] <taniwha> try it and see :)
L1723[23:48:45] <Pakaran> alright.
L1724[23:49:15] <Pakaran> I'm currently watching KSP videos while waiting for KSP to load.
L1725[23:50:10] <taniwha> I mentioned it to you because you seem to fly planes
L1726[23:51:13] <TheKosmonaut> Whooops
L1727[23:51:31] <TheKosmonaut> I uh... forgot to put a probe core on the first stage.
L1728[23:52:25] <taniwha> you didn't need that first stage anyway
L1729[23:53:11] <Pakaran> thanks.
L1730[23:53:26] <Pakaran> I try to fly planes. Planes I design, well, I learned a few things since I last tried.
L1731[23:53:26] <lpg> is that why the center core crashed?
L1732[23:55:48] <taniwha> heh, fixed landing gear exploaded on contact with the runway, but I was still airborn
L1733[23:55:58] <taniwha> so I managed to pull off a splash landing
L1734[23:56:48] <taniwha> which is interesting. last time I tried a splash landing in FAR, things went very badly
L1735[23:58:04] <TheKosmonaut> oops... may have overdone it a tad https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/VT6jXLFh/screenshot186.png
