L2[00:16:15] <Flayer> ok, my attempt at a shuttle has settled on 'launch at 70%, don't touch anything until the solid fuel boosters are done, head up to 15 km trying to keep balance and then start turning'
L3[00:16:43] <Flayer> oh yeah, throttle up when the solid boosters are done
L4[00:17:36] <UmbralRaptor> obviously you should make a variant from a world where the STMEs reached production

L14[01:39:50] <Flayer> would closing intakes help with aerodynamics?
L15[01:40:53] <Althego> supposedly decreases drag
L16[01:41:10] <Althego> but at that altitude i never noticed any big effect
L17[01:41:55] <Flayer> it will give me more fuel to bring to orbit at any rate
L18[01:44:35] <Althego> still happening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhrkdHshb3E
L19[01:44:38] <Flayer> and its the first 15 km that are the problem
L20[01:44:49] <Althego> but that is when you do need the intakes :)
L21[01:44:59] <Althego> in fact they help you tremendously
L22[01:45:34] <Flayer> no i am lifting off on lf+ox

L26[01:46:11] <Althego> hehe, the nextrocket.space has the spacex test in it. usually non orbital flights are not included
L27[01:50:07] <Flayer> ok, now to see if i can actually do re-entry with this plane XD
L28[01:50:20] <Althego> by doing reentry with it
L29[01:50:33] <Althego> dont oroget to adjust for expected fuel levels
L30[01:50:52] <Althego> because lower fuel tanks can shift the center of mass causing instability
L31[01:51:36] <Flayer> fuel tanks are in the middle
L32[01:53:11] <Flayer> by which i mean centered around the yellow/black sphere
L33[01:54:16] <Althego> then it is a safe design
L34[02:06:58] <packbart> safe designs are so un-kerbal ;)
L35[02:07:30] <Althego> elon releases his inner kerbal today :)

L39[02:35:21] <packbart> my last try at building a tourist bus from 3.75m station parts required lots of parachutes
L40[02:37:05] <Althego> hah, finally there is going to be a drain valve for fuel dump in 1.9
L41[02:38:30] <Althego> i always wanted this for sstos

L130[10:24:39] <Azander> If space travel is to become commonplace they need to overcome the high wind and choppy sea issues
L131[10:26:11] <Althego> the sea is easy. just do a normal landing instead of a splashdown
L132[10:28:35] <Azander> still have the high winds and low visibility issues
L133[10:28:55] <Althego> cant do much about that
L134[10:29:15] <UmbralRaptor> I guess a good question is what the limits are compared to aircraft
L135[10:31:33] <Althego> the sky is the limit :)
L136[10:31:44] <Azander> to make it viable.. .long term, schedules need to be predictable.
L137[10:31:45] <Althego> for aircraft
L138[10:32:05] <Azander> true :)
L139[10:32:07] <Althego> i dont believe the point to point travel scenario of starhsip
L140[10:32:17] <Althego> because you need perfect weather on the launch and landing sites
L141[10:32:26] <Althego> you cant realyl divert either
L142[10:33:44] <Azander> back in the early days of avaition they probably had to ficgure this same stuff out
L143[10:34:11] <Azander> (*figure
L144[10:35:49] <FLHerne> Azander: Propulsive landing should also reduce the wind issues
L145[10:36:18] <FLHerne> And something as big as Starship will be much less affected by the weather because square/cube law
L146[10:36:54] <Althego> except at thos speeds a windshear would just tear it apart
L147[10:37:29] <Althego> maybe when we build spaceships fron carbon nanotubes
L148[10:38:34] <FLHerne> I don't think that's accurate
L149[10:39:49] <FLHerne> Fuelled mass of Starship+SH is meant to be about 5000t

L154[10:43:57] <FLHerne> Side area (very approx.) 1000m² compared to 259m²

L159[10:47:18] <FLHerne> Landing probably has more constraints

L161[10:47:50] <Mat2ch> Althego: we need spaceships that fly at low speeds through the atmosphere ;P
L162[10:48:07] <Althego> otherwise known as orbital elevator
L163[10:48:42] <Mat2ch> No
L164[10:48:43] <Althego> however it takes days with those, what a boring ride, like a cruiseboat
L165[10:49:00] <Mat2ch> I'm talking about 100 km/h and up
L166[10:49:12] <Mat2ch> but not too fast to get wind issues
L167[10:49:15] <FLHerne> Althego: I think the potential failure modes of a space elevator are considerably worse than anything a conventional rocket can come up with :P
L168[10:49:28] <Althego> true
L169[10:49:50] <FLHerne> (at least they're better than a space fountain...)
L170[10:50:19] <Althego> si that the building that shoots stuff down to stay upright?
L171[10:51:08] <FLHerne> I think the idea was that you have mass accelerators on the ground
L172[10:51:39] <FLHerne> Which launch projectiles up a flexible (or possibly non-existent) tube
L173[10:51:48] <FLHerne> To keep the top end of it elevated
L174[10:52:08] <FLHerne> s/up/around/
L175[10:53:00] <FLHerne> So, yes, it has the slight flaw that in case of a mechanical or power failure, the whole many-100-km structure goes *floomp*

L228[16:13:55] <transit> water landing went -ok-, need to make the front end where the crew is connected to the carrying frame a bit more robust

L230[16:19:30] <packbart> can't have been a critical part, then

L239[16:37:11] <transit> watr landing test next

L271[19:37:28] <darsie> life support for 300 days?
L272[19:37:51] <darsie> hmm, 900 m/s. You're in orbit already, then.
L273[19:38:34] <darsie> I landed a bare Kerbal on Duna. Aerobraking and jetpack.
L274[19:38:45] <Flayer> 300 day trip, i got life support for another two-three years probably
L275[19:40:11] <Flayer> i think i will skip making an orbital thing around duna, but go straight for a base
L276[19:40:54] <darsie> Parachuting on Duna is fun. You can gain altitude easily when you're fast. I wonder how realistic that is at 6 kPa.
L277[19:41:25] <Flayer> i will try parachuting them in once i have a base going XD
L278[19:42:14] <darsie> Also gaining altitude with jetpack and parachuting somewhere else works well.
L279[19:42:38] <darsie> Did that with a rescue mission.

L286[20:11:50] <transit> so the thing i built earlier can carry 40 tons of payload, probably more
L287[20:12:15] <darsie> To LKO?
L288[20:18:56] <transit> https://imgur.com/a/7ETayQS
L289[20:19:37] <darsie> :)
L290[20:19:51] <transit> 40 tons to lko -checks something-
L291[20:20:35] <transit> the fuel tank bit was the payload, dropped from like 900 meters
L292[20:20:42] <transit> landed perfectly
L293[20:22:56] <transit> the biggest thing i launch regularly that i know of is 113 tons once on orbit

L298[20:36:19] <transit> 952 tons hehe i was close
L299[20:41:08] <transit> i could make it 1000 tons, but i would have to re-balance the thrust and fuel layout, basically design a new launcher
