L1[00:00:52] <Qubyte> i think i want to eject into a very elipitcal orbit around duna where my pe is at the proper location for the ejection burn from duna
L2[00:01:41] <FLHerne> Qubyte: You still have a NERV, and a bunch of tanks which you'll need to throw away anyway
L3[00:01:53] ⇦ Quits: HerraTohtori (~HT@dsl-hkibng31-58c33e-242.dhcp.inet.fi) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
L4[00:01:55] <FLHerne> Just do whatever the hell you like, it'll work
L5[00:02:09] <FLHerne> (well, within reason)
L6[00:02:24] <darsie> Cause from Ike the ideal take off moment is when Ike is kinda between Duna and the Sun. And Kerbin needs to be at the right phase so you meet it when you touch Kerbin's orbit.
L7[00:02:42] <Qubyte> hmm
L8[00:03:45] <darsie> So instead of checking subsequent orbits of Duna for the best phase, on Ike you'd check subsequent orbits of Ike around Duna. It's a bit messy.
L9[00:04:13] <darsie> So instead of checking subsequent orbits around Duna for the best phase, on Ike you'd check subsequent orbits of Ike around Duna. It's a bit messy.
L10[00:05:25] <darsie> A lowish Duna orbit is probably the best for you.
L11[00:05:41] <Qubyte> ok
L12[00:06:32] <Qubyte> and i guess i have plenty of fuel that's going to have to be thrown away anyways
L13[00:06:55] <darsie> With a high elliptic one, you're set on one ejection direction. You'd have to get that right for when Kerbin and Duna are at the right phase. Might be a bit tricky.
L14[00:07:24] <darsie> On a circular orbit you just move your maneuver node around.
L15[00:09:27] <darsie> Ahh, I even equipped my refuelling station wiht drills to refuel at Minmus :).

L17[00:11:26] <Qubyte> uh oh i just timewarped right into the surface of ike while waiting for a transfer window
L18[00:11:43] <Qubyte> f9 time
L19[00:11:58] <Qubyte> lol unintentionally relevant
L20[00:12:41] <deadmind> lol yes
L21[00:12:48] <deadmind> let's hope the real f9 doesn't do that
L22[00:13:27] <Qubyte> it would be a shocking discovery but also extremely sad
L23[00:14:03] <Qubyte> though it would lead to a bunch of finger pointing over "why the heck didn't you see the space rock until it was too late"
L24[00:14:12] <deadmind> well if the dragon crew had access to a ksp timewarp button, they'd have already blown up on the pad

L28[00:15:25] <darsie> Lowish. Stay safe from Ike.
L29[00:16:06] <darsie> Or really low, if you like. You can aerobrake. Not sure what is more efficient. Low orbit has more Oberth effect.
L30[00:16:29] <darsie> You just need 250 m/s from LDO, IIRC.
L31[00:18:52] <Qubyte> i'm areobraking into LDO
L32[00:19:20] <darsie> Duna is aerobraking paradise :).

L52[00:30:28] <Jovian_Oracle> Their version of MechJeb is pretty good
L53[00:31:13] <Qubyte> do they have FRMS installed?
L54[00:31:36] <Jovian_Oracle> Why isn't their hull glowing red like mine does during launch?
L55[00:31:54] <Qubyte> that is a pretty sweet emmisive on the engine bell
L56[00:32:01] <Qubyte> very nice visual mods
L57[00:32:29] <Jovian_Oracle> I don't know. SRBs would've made it a lot more exciting.
L58[00:32:58] <Jovian_Oracle> I get this all done with two reusable stages with 2.5 meter parts anyway.
L59[00:35:55] <Qubyte> those are really nice engine plumes
L60[00:36:24] <Qubyte> whatever mod they're using for those even takes airspeed into account
L61[00:36:43] <Qubyte> does realplumes do that? idk. my laptop would die if i even tried
L62[00:38:04] <Qubyte> yeah their version of mechjeb is pretty nice

L69[00:41:06] <Qubyte> heck, the navball dosen't even say orbit
L70[00:41:20] <Jovian_Oracle> It's because their version of RPM isn't supported.
L71[00:41:44] <Qubyte> ah ok
L72[00:42:46] <Jovian_Oracle> And why are they taking the long way to rendezvous? Scrubs.
L73[00:42:53] <Qubyte> i'm going to stop watching. there's probably some mod incompatibilities that are causing lots of issues
L74[00:43:12] <Qubyte> yeah why not just rendezvous as soon as possible?

L172[11:54:19] <Althego> they were never in numeric order
L173[11:55:25] <Althego> probably used on other craft or undergoing testing
L174[11:56:27] <packbart> SN33 to 41 were bad prints

L176[11:57:35] <Mat2ch> I have a much better theory. The are used on secret projects!
L177[11:57:38] <Mat2ch> ;)
L178[11:58:47] <Althego> even if you treat the raptors as prototype there are close to 50. they cant be cheap
L179[11:59:25] <Althego> meanwhile nasa is trying to use up old ssmes to reduce expenses
L180[12:01:38] <Althego> so how come spacex can have around 20 of these just lying around

L182[12:19:45] <Deddly> They are churning them out as fast as they can.
L183[12:20:09] <Deddly> Engine manufacture is projected by SpaceX to be the biggest bottleneck problem
L184[12:20:46] <Althego> yes, lot of engines on the booster
L185[12:20:59] <Deddly> They need so many for each vehicle, and they want to build a lot of vehicles
L186[12:21:05] <Althego> but the engines look way more expensive than a few stainelss steel rings
L187[12:22:22] <Deddly> If their goal is essentially mass production, I don't find that surprising at all
L188[12:23:16] <Althego> ultimately probably price goes down simply because of economy of scale
L189[12:29:15] <Mat2ch> that is probably the reason why there are so many failed raptors inbetween. They are already in the process of scaling the production up
L190[12:29:51] <Mat2ch> and they are redesigning them from time to time and then test them till death
L191[12:30:11] <Mat2ch> So SN42 could be slightly (or heavily) different than SN32

L320[22:32:43] <darsie> It's usually less tedious to fly without refuelling. It does help if you have a low budget, though.
L321[22:33:08] <packbart> I found a fuel station around the Mun useful for tourist landers. The rendezvous doesn't cost much more than the usual circularization and there they get the fuel for landing and return
L322[22:33:55] <packbart> also including a lab to level up the crew is useful if you play with Kourages Tourists (only 1-star tourists may EVA on the Mun)
L323[22:33:56] <darsie> For Mun landing trips?
L324[22:34:46] <packbart> allows for smaller tanks on the vehicle
L325[22:34:51] <darsie> mhm
L326[22:35:30] <darsie> If you want to go to Dres and stop at Minmus, you give up the Oberth effect of Kerbin.
L327[22:36:31] <darsie> And interplanetary flight is awkward from Mun/Minmus.
L328[22:36:39] <Qubyte> ok

L346[22:47:46] <darsie> packbart: The conversion to monopropellant is significantly less efficient than rocket fuel, with a 1:0.8 ratio. https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Convert-O-Tron_250#Efficiency
L347[22:49:44] <darsie> MP only has 4 kg/unit.
L348[22:49:56] <packbart> yeah, but a large monoprop tank is usually enough for many visiting vehicles
