L72[05:48:48] <Althego> lol
L73[05:49:26] <Althego> you can become the next michael schumacher really fast :)
L74[05:49:51] <OneNick365Days> what'd schumacher do?
L75[05:50:19] <Althego> hit a huge rock during skiing
L76[05:50:23] <OneNick365Days> ouch
L77[05:50:27] <OneNick365Days> ended his career?
L78[05:50:37] <Althego> no, he already stopped racing by that time
L79[05:50:43] <OneNick365Days> weird
L80[05:50:51] <Althego> but he never recovered, altough still alive
L81[05:50:53] <legion> he's still in a coma, iirc
L82[05:51:00] <OneNick365Days> the dutch showed a picture of him on television, figured he either died or won a race
L83[05:51:25] <legion> are you sure that wasn't Max?
L84[05:51:42] <OneNick365Days> i'm entirely not confident
L85[05:57:58] * darsie is currently IRCing in Austria and the cable connection is stable.
L86[05:58:26] <OneNick365Days> don't hit a rock
L87[05:58:31] <OneNick365Days> but also spot the aplayuer

L100[06:20:13] <Althego> yes the alt t ext nails it
L101[06:20:17] <Rolf> lol
L102[06:20:51] <Rolf> latest xkcd is fanastic
L103[06:20:57] <Althego> haha
L104[06:21:01] <Eddi|zuHause> that one has one of the best alt texts ever
L105[06:22:16] <Althego> if you think of the year as the motion of earth around the sun, then timezones shouldnt matter, earth is always at place and not multiple
L106[06:22:50] <darsie> :)
L107[06:23:10] <Eddi|zuHause> uhm, no, the earth is still not a perfect dot, it is a sphe... object with dimensions, so part of it will be in the new year position and part of it not
L108[06:23:13] <UmbralRaptop> Sure, but then you need to get everyone using UTC or TAI.
L109[06:23:49] <OneNick365Days> if you zoom out far enough it's a perfect dot
L110[06:24:09] <Eddi|zuHause> (also, it's not like "new year" is in any way defined by an orbital position)
L111[06:24:27] <Althego> the point is, the timezones are the product of the rotation of earth, not of the motion around the sun, so they are unrelated
L112[06:24:43] <Althego> and yes ultimately the year is meaningless
L113[06:24:59] <Althego> because earth does not orbit in a closed orbit
L114[06:25:30] <Eddi|zuHause> well, technically "new year" is defined by "the first new moon after the winter solstice in the year 4BC" or something like that
L115[06:25:38] <UmbralRaptop> Only seconds are real, but people look at you funny if you stick kilo/mega/giga on them.
L116[06:25:45] <Althego> hehe
L117[06:25:54] <Althego> i have seen giga years
L118[06:25:57] <Althego> but not seconds
L119[06:26:34] <UmbralRaptop> Anyway, a year is ~31.5 megaseconds.

L122[06:31:37] <Rolf> is it same drive russia sub had in red oct movie?
L123[06:31:46] <darsie> yes
L124[06:31:50] <Rolf> cool
L125[06:31:57] <darsie> Same principle.
L126[06:32:02] <Rolf> i wish all boats had that, as ocean is getting very noisy
L127[06:32:07] <Rolf> not good for animals in ocean
L128[06:32:14] <Althego> doesent work in reality
L129[06:32:15] <darsie> Not very efficient.
L130[06:32:28] <Althego> the ocean is nowhere near salty enough to produce usable thrust
L131[06:32:47] <Rolf> too bad
L132[06:33:00] <darsie> Also the current through the water would create chlorined, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide through electrolysis.
L133[06:33:08] <darsie> chlorine*
L134[06:33:15] <Althego> also note that even a nuclear powered sub produces noise just by the turbines propelling the generator
L135[06:33:41] <Althego> so you can hear that even if ther is no propeller noise
L136[06:34:08] <Rolf> well if it cuts down noise a lot still worthy but yeah still have issues like yiu guys listed
L137[06:34:31] <Althego> must replace the oceans with mercury :)
L138[06:34:48] <Rolf> lol
L139[06:34:58] <Althego> nobody would drown
L140[06:35:02] <Althego> no shark attacks
L141[06:35:06] <Althego> and mhd possible
L142[06:35:25] <Rolf> would be funny if we found a world where mecury is main liquid, as well as mecury as solvent for lifeforms not water
L143[06:36:26] <Rolf> eyes probably wouldnt evolve there till animals got out of ocean
L144[06:37:08] <Althego> hah terrestial lifeforms with mercury as blood, sounds cool
L145[06:37:23] <Rolf> would have to be quite strong
L146[06:37:46] <Althego> they would have to be strong anyway because most probably they are on a super earth
L147[06:37:48] <Rolf> one atm is what just 1 cm or so into mecury?
L148[06:38:02] <Rolf> theres one video of guy standing on mecury
L149[06:38:08] <Althego> 29.92 in hg :)

L152[06:38:36] <Althego> oh you mean the depth
L153[06:38:43] <Rolf> yeah
L154[06:39:36] <Althego> p = rho * g * h
L155[06:40:06] <Althego> 13.56 g/cm^3 for mercury

L160[06:44:12] <Althego> anyway just by feelings, because the same formula is true for water, and you need around 10 meters for 1 atmosphere, it means around 3/4 meters for 1 atm
L161[06:44:39] <Rolf> 3 or 4 or 3/4
L162[06:44:57] <Althego> well, 10/13.56
L163[06:45:09] <Althego> which i feel is around 0.75
L164[06:45:13] * UmbralRaptop recalls 760 mmHg as 1 atm
L165[06:45:15] <Rolf> cool so somewhat under a meter
L166[06:45:21] <UmbralRaptop> aka, torr
L167[06:45:29] <Rolf> guess I misremembered
L168[06:45:47] <UmbralRaptop> Unfortunately, mercury is one of the rarer elements
L169[06:45:57] <Althego> actually... that should be the same because it is in balance

L214[08:03:06] <Rolf> darsie: nope but you certainly can turn off heaters.

L219[08:05:44] <Rolf> being very cold would break em
L220[08:05:45] <darsie> But yeah, better than no operation at all.
L221[08:06:07] <Rolf> but problem is power is so low that they have to turn off heat in order to do anything
L222[08:06:14] <Rolf> rtg is so old
L223[08:06:50] <darsie> charge a capacitor bank and use power intermittently.
L224[08:06:52] <Althego> might be ways around this. first of all those things protected by the heaters can be more resilient than expected. also for the mers they learned to opereate them without the heaters in the winter, by not letting them sleep. then the waste heat from the computers kept them warm, still consumed less than the heaters

L362[13:30:49] <Althego> shows in the tip of the update

L364[13:31:13] <ksft> doesn't seem to be those
L365[13:31:20] <ksft> oh
L366[13:31:26] <ksft> it's mission control and tracking station at level 2

L404[13:40:35] <Althego> you mean the huge lab? or the science bay junior

L406[13:42:24] <ksft> what's "comm los"?

L412[13:43:08] <Althego> i hate it that they are exactly the opposite meaning, and same acronym, withing the same context

L416[13:47:11] <ksft> so you can transmit results more than once?
L417[13:47:31] <Althego> you can take out the result from any science equipment with any type of kerbal

L419[13:47:53] <Althego> dont need to transmit and lose a lot of science
L420[13:48:01] <Althego> or wit ha scientist you cant transmit it once
L421[13:48:09] <Althego> then reset and make it again
L422[13:48:20] <Althego> take the resutl with you, that is more than just taking it with you ince
L423[13:48:36] <Althego> also you can use a single experiment on different biomes or states

L426[13:48:55] <Althego> saves part count and mass
L427[13:49:06] <Althego> because you cant always go back
L428[13:49:27] <Althego> for example probe lands, cant come back, then it just transmits
L429[13:49:35] <Althego> good example is eve
L430[13:49:48] <Althego> in the first 10 days yo uhave an eve launch window, or at least the end of one
L431[13:49:54] <Althego> you can send a probe to eve

L455[15:35:17] <iamfishhead1> Goodbye Guest50831
L456[15:40:16] <JVFoxy> guessing just testing
L457[15:40:55] <JVFoxy> also ugh.. robotic launcher to send a lander into orbit.. of course Jeb just has to get onboard everything ever created any chance he gets. >_>
L458[15:42:54] <Fluburtur> I made a carry case for the radio https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186471202357249/529686453828190211/DSC_0324.JPG
L459[15:44:36] <JVFoxy> went to record the launch... wasn't till after I got it into orbit that I realized he shouldn't have been there from the start. pilot would be up in another vehicle, having two people woulda been a mses
L460[15:45:27] <JVFoxy> Fluburtur it say Frsky on the top?
L461[15:45:33] <Fluburtur> yes
L462[15:46:17] <JVFoxy> huh.. hadn't heard of them before. almost makes me think 'frisky'. ;P
L463[15:47:01] <Fluburtur> with a nice long range 868mhz module on the back
L464[15:48:39] <JVFoxy> wish to fly my drone more... phone parents got me isn't the greatest... not to mention wifi ... ugh. Keeps kicking out even at less than 10 meters
L465[15:49:16] <JVFoxy> currently, one of two battery packs bloated from being drained.
L466[15:49:34] <Fluburtur> yeah wifi is kinda crap, this system is supposed to give me at least 10km of range
L467[15:49:54] <JVFoxy> come to think of it, not even sure where the dead pack ended up being put its been almost a year now
L468[15:50:49] <JVFoxy> I hoped the software that controls the drone would work on my 2-in-1 laptop, but ... 'insufficient credentials'...?
L469[15:52:18] <JVFoxy> welp.. found the dead pack.. wow, batteries pretty bloated.. sigh.
L470[16:17:10] <iamfishhead1> Gosh, I didn't realize that the New Horizons downlink to earth is like 1-2 Kbps. I guess we'll be waiting a long time for those pictures. :(
L471[16:18:33] <JVFoxy> iamfishhead1 20 months to get 5-6 gigs
L472[16:18:44] <UmbralRaptop> smol spacecraft, long distance
L473[16:19:02] <UmbralRaptop> 1/r² is not your friend.
L474[16:19:13] <JVFoxy> more to do with distance... causing slow transfer speed
L475[16:20:48] <UmbralRaptop> Eh, just stick a kilowatt laser on the next spacecraft.
L476[16:21:02] * UmbralRaptop is not entirely serious.
L477[16:21:36] <JVFoxy> trying to figure out where the craft is and planets in the solar system in relation to us
L478[16:22:04] <JVFoxy> wondering if they having to get signal on other side, passing the sun.
L479[16:23:48] <iamfishhead1> Yeah, inverse square law indeed
L480[16:24:52] <UmbralRaptop> There should be sites that show those positions. Hayabusa 2 / Ryugu just passed out from behind (ish) the sun.

L487[16:31:29] <UmbralRaptop> uh
L488[16:31:59] <ksft> how am I supposed to test an SRB at 160 km?

L490[16:32:30] <JVFoxy> heh... semi cheat?
L491[16:32:31] <ksft> can I test it without activating it?
L492[16:32:39] <JVFoxy> send it up empty
L493[16:32:41] <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think so
L494[16:32:55] <ksft> ohh, emptying it is a good idea
L495[16:33:07] <Eddi|zuHause> i think for engines it must actually run with (some) fuel
L496[16:33:18] <JVFoxy> unless you want to actually use it... some cases you need to test through staging
L497[16:33:48] <Eddi|zuHause> last time i used such a mission to send something out of Kerbin SOI
L498[16:33:58] <JVFoxy> I've had a few that just wanted to carry it around..
L499[16:34:23] <Eddi|zuHause> with the new deltav display you should also be able to make a maneuver node to predict where it'll be going
L500[16:34:27] <JVFoxy> most annoying contract I've had is, high gee adventure in sub-orbital and full orbit...
L501[16:35:03] <Eddi|zuHause> how do you get high g-forces in orbit?
L502[16:35:56] <JVFoxy> I guess I had high enough rep..?
L503[16:35:56] <Eddi|zuHause> does rotation count there?
L504[16:36:02] <ksft> I was definitely able to test a part by clicking "Run test" after I had activated it when I was supposed to test it by activating it through staging
L505[16:36:22] <JVFoxy> annoying because from orbit... getting up to high enough G... had to figure out how to return them as well
L506[16:36:55] <Eddi|zuHause> well, i'd try to make that high g burn a retrograde burn to reenter?
L507[16:37:02] <JVFoxy> bad enough had to figure out a way to get enough TWR to push the g's up
L508[16:37:07] <Eddi|zuHause> but what kind of engine do you need for high g forces?
L509[16:38:08] <JVFoxy> I kind of went combo... swivel and a couple of fleas..
L510[16:40:10] <JVFoxy> I think... I don't remember exactly right now. Its been a whlie
L511[16:41:19] <Eddi|zuHause> last time i tried the contract mod, i continued to get these tourist contracts where they want to fly to places with max 4G
L512[16:42:03] <Eddi|zuHause> i think that mod got left behind at some point
L513[16:42:57] <Eddi|zuHause> now, after ICQ announced that it would shut out old and foreign clients, kopete can't connect anymore but pidgin can... why?
L514[16:43:40] <JVFoxy> no idea... hadn't connected ICQ in ages.. ever since Telegram..
L515[16:43:59] <JVFoxy> I still have client but.. eh.. I don't know any more
L516[16:44:23] <Eddi|zuHause> there's an official client, and even a linux version... but...
L517[16:46:05] <JVFoxy> It was nice to have stuck with one client consistently over years. Now it seems like people move onto something new ever year or two
L518[16:46:50] <Eddi|zuHause> i somehow need to get whatsapp working without a smartphone
L519[16:47:05] <JVFoxy> helping with convention, we used to use email.. then went to mail group.. then some business thing? A few years ago, started on Telegram, now some places moved to Discord

L549[19:11:33] <darsie> nuclear thermal rocket is limited by reactor melting point.
L550[19:13:00] <darsie> colud get high ve when exhausting H.
L551[19:13:22] <Eddi|zuHause> didn't we ban nuclear explosions in space like 50 years ago?
L552[19:17:16] <Eddi|zuHause> (i probably don't know enough about how this is meant to work)
L553[19:20:05] <UmbralRaptop> Apparently. It's a nuclear reactor, not a nuclear bomb.
L554[19:22:18] <UmbralRaptop> Run reactor, use hydrogen in the primary cooling loop, vent hydrogen through a standard nozzle.
L555[19:23:26] <UmbralRaptop> There are some details to get the hydrogen as hot as possible (and in the linked case to dissociate into monatomic hydrogen), but eh.
L556[19:37:04] <Eddi|zuHause> i can't imagine that being radiation free
L557[19:37:22] <Eddi|zuHause> and radiation in space will run unfiltered into every satellite...
L558[19:38:40] <UmbralRaptop> uh
L559[19:41:39] <UmbralRaptop> If you have a problem with parts of the reactor falling off, some problems. The exhaust should otherwise be remarkably radiation free (need 2 neutron captures on a typical hydrogen nucleus to get anything radioactive)
L560[19:43:00] <UmbralRaptop> Neutron activation of the reactor proper, and general gamma emission while running are bigger issues, but 1/r² does wonders when 100 km is close.
L561[19:43:43] <UmbralRaptop> You can also be somewhat cavalier because space is already a high radiation environment (if more from charged particles)
L562[19:46:19] <UmbralRaptop> Hrm, that sentence about reactor bits coming off got mangled.
L563[19:46:50] <UmbralRaptop> But if your reactor does much of that, you probably have bigger problems!
