L1[00:09:44] <flayer> nice
L2[00:11:48] <flayer> meanwhile, my shuttle launch design (basically copied off the dynawing) turns out to launch better if i don't touch the controls at all, despite veering way off at the start
L3[00:18:17] <Althego> hehe
L4[00:18:26] <Althego> the auto turn achieved
L5[00:18:29] <Althego> i could never master that
L6[00:19:26] <flayer> well, i have to take control at about 20 km for the staging, but yeah

L10[00:30:31] <Althego> wasnt there a ksc biome?
L11[00:30:45] <Althego> that was just outside the runway for example
L12[00:30:52] <Althego> or do i remember incorrectly?
L13[00:31:15] <Althego> not it is shores

L21[00:37:46] <Althego> in a way this is better, i dont have to go to the actual shore for the shore
L22[00:37:55] <raptop> There still is one by the runway, yes
L23[00:38:17] <raptop> going north, east, or south from the pad tends to mean hitting the shores biome
L24[00:38:27] <raptop> (and remember: splashed and landed are seperate situations!)
L25[00:40:25] <Althego> i used to roll off the runway with a capsule to get the ksc
L26[00:40:38] <Althego> but it is shores now
L27[00:40:42] <Althego> maybe i went too far?
L28[00:40:52] <flayer> all the triangles are 'ksc biome'
L29[00:40:58] <flayer> and the trapezes
L30[00:41:03] <flayer> lok
L31[00:41:04] <flayer> lok
L32[00:41:06] <flayer> loook
L33[00:41:19] <flayer> highlight the mission control in the KSC view
L34[00:41:22] <flayer> then highlight the VAB
L35[00:41:29] <flayer> and look at the little triangle in between them
L36[00:41:32] <flayer> how it is not highlighted
L37[00:41:39] <flayer> because it is neither mission control, nor VAB -- it is KSC
L38[00:42:09] <Althego> those are far away for a capsule
L39[00:42:42] <Althego> to get there i need wheels
L40[00:42:45] <flayer> those are the KSC biome
L41[00:44:20] <raptop> Althego: ah, go north or south of the runway instead?
L42[00:44:45] <raptop> Also, you can do silly things with a partially fuelled RT-5
L43[00:45:10] <raptop> And on a related note, high kerbin orbit has a multiplier 5x that of landed
L44[00:45:20] <Althego> yes but as i remember for the ksc biome i only needed to roll off the runway in older versions
L45[00:46:28] <raptop> yeah, at some point it changed

L94[12:05:56] <hoglahoo> lol I'm such an idiot. Just started playing again yesterday after not having played in a year or two and I wanted to start with a network of comm satellites around earth
L95[12:06:12] <hoglahoo> so I figured I think I want polar orbit. Then I thought oh yeah I want geostationary
L96[12:06:34] <hoglahoo> so I did polar orbit at 37,000 km....
L97[12:06:36] <hoglahoo> looool
L98[12:07:06] <raptop> oops
L99[12:07:53] <hoglahoo> 35,000 km. whatever. but yeah they are not geostationary :)
L100[12:07:54] <raptop> I'd argue that some highly eccentric polar orbits with very different LANs would be useful, though
L101[12:08:36] <hoglahoo> maybe. what does your argument have in mind?
L102[12:10:27] <raptop> The simple version would be something like one sat that hangs out over each pole
L103[12:10:45] <raptop> More complex would involve molinya orbits or a dram(sp) tetrahedron

L177[21:54:50] <raptop> At present, drilling is still something of an art, requiring an understanding of both the nature of the material being drilled – or, at least, a best guess of the nature of that material – and the equipment being used. While drilling is a candidate for a high level of automation, it is likely that human supervision for purposes of “fine-tuning” the

L187[22:01:30] <Althego> probably no nuclear rocket
L188[22:02:00] <Althego> but there could be some rtg based power generation on board for martian stay
L189[22:02:10] <Althego> i liked the kilopower reactor
L190[22:04:59] <raptop> more reactors would be cool
L191[22:08:34] <Althego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TL7eUh4yuI
L192[22:09:57] <raptop> ...parts of that are orange-hot?
L193[22:10:06] <Althego> during operation, yes
L194[22:10:17] <Althego> basically it is an rtg with a stirling engine
L195[22:10:31] <Althego> which has higher performance than thermocouples
L196[22:11:54] <Althego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLE5YFuCmhw
L197[22:12:16] <raptop> ASRTG?
L198[22:12:34] <raptop> ah, not quite
L199[22:12:53] <Althego> well, it is a very simple reactor, that you can turn on or off
L200[22:12:57] <Althego> so not really rtg
L201[22:13:08] <Althego> but almost as simple
