L8[00:52:52] <ObservatoryRaptop> presented without comment: https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.02944
L9[00:58:05] <Althego> detecting Planet 9 via a sub-relativistic spacecraft fly-by and the measure of its Hawking radiation in the radio band
L10[00:58:09] <Althego> sound like sci-fi to me
L11[01:00:34] <ObservatoryRaptop> Assumed: Planet 9 is a primordial black hole, and that laser sail craft are build/launched
L12[01:00:52] <Althego> as i said, sci-fi
L13[01:01:09] <ObservatoryRaptop> Incidentally, this has the best figure https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11090
L14[01:01:38] <Althego> do we want it to be a black hole?
L15[01:01:40] <ObservatoryRaptop> (bottom of page 5)
L16[01:01:57] <Althego> that would make the solar system really strange
L17[01:02:01] <ObservatoryRaptop> Some physics people do. I'd hope for a super earth/sub neptune, really
L18[01:02:10] <Althego> but we would gain an insteresting object relatively close by
L19[01:02:20] <Althego> yes we need a super earth
L20[01:02:54] <Althego> there are already some unusual features in the solar system, the less we have, the better it is for probable life elsewhere
L21[01:03:28] * ObservatoryRaptop eyes the moon uneasily
L22[01:04:43] <Althego> the sun already is not exactly the most common type, then it rotates slowly, and then we have this unusual moon. we also dont have a super earth, and having a black hole on top of that would be just weird
L23[01:09:07] <ObservatoryRaptop> The sun is adequately common. I'd still wait for at least JWST (and maybe HabEx) before making any definitive statements about the habitability of M-dwarf planets, though
L24[01:10:55] <Althego> always only a few years more :)
L25[01:11:42] <ObservatoryRaptop> lolsob
L26[01:12:32] <Althego> what would the head of nasa say if rocket with jwst exploded on the launchpad? easy come, easy go
L27[01:13:41] <ObservatoryRaptop> aaaaaaaaaaaaa
L28[01:19:38] <Althego> (there is this joke where the lumberman goes each day to the forest to fell trees. he sells the trees for a small amount of money. after 20 years he goes into the city to gamble, puts all his money on a number, and loses. easy come, easy go)

L52[03:49:20] * Deddly just watched "The first man". Why didn't they call it "Camera shake simulator"?
L53[03:50:55] <Althego> hehe
L54[03:52:18] <Deddly> And also, when they burn prograde in orbit, it's like warp speed
L55[03:52:48] <Deddly> The earth just zooms off in the distance
L56[03:52:55] <Althego> hehe
L57[03:53:10] <Althego> remember the scene from first contact when they launch the rocket?
L58[03:53:20] <Althego> and i am like: no, you dont go straight up
L59[03:53:31] <Deddly> I don't remember that
L60[03:53:56] <Deddly> But it was such a long time ago since I saw that film, I wouldn't have been educated by KSP
L61[03:54:23] <Althego> you reminded me to this because of warp speed
L62[03:54:32] <Deddly> Ah
L63[03:55:18] <Deddly> I liked Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning as a parody to that film
L64[03:57:19] <packbart> Aye
L65[04:07:41] <Mat2ch> Althego: with the warp thingy you do go straight up
L66[04:07:54] <Althego> yes but it launched on a rocket
L67[04:07:54] <Mat2ch> because you don't need an orbit
L68[04:08:06] <Mat2ch> And old icbm
L69[04:08:18] <Althego> and in the scene you could see them being more than 1000 km up and still going up
L70[04:08:22] <Althego> before they went to warp
L71[04:08:40] <Mat2ch> which is totally possible
L72[04:08:57] <Althego> ok, what if the warp drive fails
L73[04:09:02] <Althego> you fall back straigth down
L74[04:09:07] <Mat2ch> yep
L75[04:09:17] <Althego> it would be still safer to just remain in orbit
L76[04:09:25] <Mat2ch> Depends
L77[04:09:29] <Althego> also they never explained how they survived reentry
L78[04:09:41] <Mat2ch> did you see any sign of a rentry possibility?
L79[04:09:48] <Althego> no, not really
L80[04:10:12] <Mat2ch> Yeah, that's what bothers me the most
L81[04:10:19] <JVFoxy> was probably left open for later figuring out?
L82[04:10:54] <Mat2ch> Technically you could jump to warp when you upward motion is nearing zero
L83[04:11:03] <Mat2ch> and then jump back at a very low altitude
L84[04:11:15] <Mat2ch> then you would fall, but accelerate pretty slowly
L85[04:11:28] <JVFoxy> ya but any ships ever tried warping into atmos?
L86[04:11:28] <Mat2ch> somebody should try this in RSS :P
L87[04:11:55] <Althego> hehe
L88[04:11:59] <Althego> yes these are viable
L89[04:12:04] <Mat2ch> JVFoxy: 200 km up is almost no atmosphere, but falling down will be not that deadly
L90[04:12:11] <Althego> but not really for an early prototype
L91[04:12:33] <Althego> say i am the inventor and i intend to launch on my own rocket. would i do it like this? no way
L92[04:12:48] <Mat2ch> Have drogue chutes, deploy them early
L93[04:13:35] <Mat2ch> Althego: depends of if you wanna get back or not...
L94[04:13:40] <Mat2ch> *depends on
L95[04:15:27] <FLHerne> Althego: To be fair, if you think it's *close* to working, falling back into the atmosphere is the least of your potential problems
L96[04:16:04] <FLHerne> ISTR that flaky warp drives are interesting to be around
L97[04:18:43] <JVFoxy> trying to figure out how the ship go back down.. feeling Enterprise might have helped in some way..?
L98[04:18:51] <Althego> istr looks like a fortran intrinsic function
L99[04:19:37] <Althego> but again, unless cochran was planning for a suicide, he could not have taken that into account in his original design

L101[04:21:01] <FLHerne> According to Memory Alpha, effects of misconfigured warp drives can include a "wormhole effect", hyperspatial distortions, improbably rapid genetic mutation, or just destruction of the ship
L102[04:22:34] <FLHerne> So anyone terribly concerned about their personal safety should just refrain from piloting experimental warp spacecraft at all

L105[04:23:12] <FLHerne> Oh, it can also cause time travel
L106[04:23:16] <FLHerne> of course
L107[04:23:53] <darsie> The guy in the expanse who invented the fast drive died.
L108[04:24:28] <FLHerne> Same in the Honorverse, I believe
L109[04:24:54] <darsie> Acceleration was too high for him to reach out to turn the drive off.
L110[04:26:08] <JVFoxy> so.. star trek warp drives, at least the primitive ones had issues around gravity fields.
L111[04:37:00] <Deddly> They always do, don't they? That's why they use impulse thrusters

L113[04:38:51] <darsie> I thought impulse was to get away from space stations.
L114[04:39:18] <darsie> Maybe to not tear them apart with positive or negative space warp.

L117[05:32:29] <Deddly> darsie, https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/94479/whats-the-problem-of-using-warp-drive-within-a-solar-system
L118[05:35:17] <TheKosmonaut> IIRC in ST they were not allowed to use Impulse near stations.
L119[05:35:50] <TheKosmonaut> Though ST and consistency around space maneuvering is like asking Deddly not to be an oppressive moderator, they're incompatible.
L120[05:35:51] <darsie> How did they get away from stations, then?
L121[05:36:19] <TheKosmonaut> "thrusters"
L122[05:36:22] <packbart> by scraping their hull along the dock
L123[05:36:27] <darsie> IIRC they used 1/4 impulse near stations.
L124[05:36:44] <darsie> But thrusters are impulse.
L125[05:36:56] <Deddly> packbart, hehe, I know that film ;)
L126[05:37:03] <TheKosmonaut> No
L127[05:37:09] <TheKosmonaut> Thrusters and Impulse were different
L128[05:37:39] <darsie> There could be magnetic impulse, too.
L129[05:38:15] <darsie> Or light pressure.
L130[05:38:58] <TheKosmonaut> http://fsd.trekships.org/operations/images/impulse-2.jpg
L131[05:39:02] <darsie> Or, indeed, physical contact.
L132[05:39:53] <TheKosmonaut> Inside spacedock, the vessels in the federation were limited to thrusters which are chemical
L133[05:40:05] <Althego> except if you are captain kirk
L134[05:40:14] <TheKosmonaut> Althego: that is a star trek constant
L135[05:40:24] <TheKosmonaut> All rules apply, unless K is in the equation
L136[05:40:28] <darsie> So impulse is ion propulsion while thrusters are chemical?

L140[05:41:35] <TheKosmonaut> The funny thing w/ the movies is they always seem to just say to hell with it when it comes to their established* propulsion/mechanical rules
L141[05:41:45] <Deddly> TheKosmonaut, Kirk could also use impulse and Twist drive whenever he wanted
L142[05:41:59] <Deddly> Sorry, I mean Pirk
L143[05:42:33] <TheKosmonaut> The problem w/ impulse is that time dilation becomes a factor
L144[05:42:51] <Althego> twist drive?
L145[05:43:07] <Deddly> Althego, Star Wreck :)
L146[05:43:20] <Althego> yes it is a factor if you are using to move fast enough
L147[05:43:50] <TheKosmonaut> But again, Impulse seems to change in every season and indeed from season to season
L148[05:44:30] <TheKosmonaut> Then you get Inertial Dampening systems which are super magic

L188[06:51:02] <packbart> shunt all power from the life support to the deflector. that usually works
L189[06:51:15] <TheKosmonaut> now go look inside and find a solution, because they're all pretty much trash
L190[06:51:27] <flayer> i'm tired
L191[06:51:44] <TheKosmonaut> packbart: To do that, you will need to manually change the particle flow by going through 10km of Jefferies' tubes
L192[06:51:58] <TheKosmonaut> better send the captain and first officer on such a perilous mission
L193[06:52:29] <packbart> a good sonic screwdriver will revert the polarity of the neutron flow in a jiffy

L200[06:53:14] <Althego> yes, the ship computer should be quite capable since it can run intelligent holo characters in its spare time
L201[06:53:22] <flayer> but the photon emitters or some such don't reach in the jeffery tubes!

L213[06:55:42] <Althego> martian communist propaganda https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/w830/public/field/image/2016/06/technomancer-propaganda.jpg?itok=xHDRMwbO
L214[06:56:26] <TheKosmonaut> The EMH also proves that his program can be expanded, to the point where he is functionally human.
L215[06:56:46] <TheKosmonaut> He can age, if so desired
L216[06:57:00] <TheKosmonaut> He was able to expand his knowledge through more conventional means, as demonstrated through the show
L217[06:57:08] <flayer> sigh
L218[06:57:25] <TheKosmonaut> But Starfleet-- humans, show that they had little to no regard for the question of his sentience.
L219[06:57:33] <TheKosmonaut> That said, an entirely holographic fleet would make sense
L220[06:57:52] <TheKosmonaut> There's also an episode where a ship is more or less derelict and run by a hologram as it limps back to home
L221[06:58:19] <TheKosmonaut> What I never understand is how they let Barkley get away with so much through his life
L222[06:58:29] <TheKosmonaut> THat dude should have been locked up like 20+ times
L223[06:58:42] <Althego> was under alien influence when he stole the ship :)
L224[06:59:02] <TheKosmonaut> Yeah, but he also went against SF's orders to regain comms w/ voyager
L225[06:59:03] <packbart> because only he knows how to fix "Error -23A"
L226[06:59:10] <Althego> idiotic orders
L227[06:59:16] <TheKosmonaut> He became a rogue intelligence that attempted to overthrow the Enterprise
L228[06:59:32] <TheKosmonaut> he had a romantic relationship with a hologram of someone's likeness
L229[06:59:41] <TheKosmonaut> That's an entirely different rabbithole
L230[06:59:52] <TheKosmonaut> Dude was a freak
L231[07:00:10] <TheKosmonaut> Althego: Yeah, the show demonstrates time and again that SF is pretty stupid
L232[07:00:23] <Althego> the only difference is, today we cant project our fantasies :)
L233[07:00:27] <TheKosmonaut> Though Picard has been really beating a dead horse
L234[07:00:44] <TheKosmonaut> Which, btw, I really enjoyed the first season

L285[11:47:57] <Althego> at this point we can be happy if ksp 2 happens at all
L286[11:48:31] <raptop> Anyway, FAR exists for a reason
L287[11:59:01] <packbart> ah, the atmosphere. that pesky barrier between launchpad and space

L305[13:06:41] <hatrix> I'm trying to get the maximum distance that needs to be covered by a sat in orbit for the commnet
L306[13:08:45] <packbart> yeah, commnet sees Kerbin some 25% smaller by default. occlusionMultiplierAtm = 0.75
L307[13:09:00] <packbart> if that's what I think it is
L308[13:09:08] <hatrix> ooh ok nice
L309[13:09:19] <packbart> hmm, no that's a weird way to look at it
L310[13:09:38] <packbart> anyway, you could argue that the radiowaves propagate in the atmosphere around the curve
L311[13:10:14] <packbart> I'm not sure what the base radius is. could be just to account for terrain

L327[13:40:34] <packbart> actually, occlusionMultiplierVac = 0.9 by default
