L67[14:30:56] <Althego> twitter says goes live in about 15 minutes
L68[14:44:37] <Althego> stream on
L69[14:51:37] <Mat2ch> didn't autostart again :/
L70[14:51:44] <Althego> never does
L71[14:51:47] <Althego> it used to
L72[14:51:52] <Althego> but of course they improved it
L73[14:52:13] <Mat2ch> Sometimes it does, most of the times not.
L74[14:52:29] <Althego> remember when the seek bar thing wassnt hidden? ermember when there were no stupid buttons you never wanted to press but accidentally did because of the seek bar?
L75[14:53:12] <Mat2ch> I like the hiding seek bar. But it is fiddely sometimes
L76[14:53:29] <Mat2ch> but making things worse is everywhere a problem.
L77[14:53:46] <Mat2ch> People always try to improve things and break things in the process, which is annoying.
L78[14:54:00] <Mat2ch> In German we have a word for that: Verschlimmbessern.
L79[14:54:15] <Mat2ch> Trying to make something better, but making it worse.
L80[14:54:35] <Althego> there were 2 things that were actually good
L81[14:54:39] <Althego> the loop option
L82[14:54:48] <Althego> and the chapters on the seek bar
L83[14:54:55] <Althego> all the others just annoy me
L84[14:55:02] <Althego> and wish i could turn them off
L85[14:56:27] <packbart> Althego: the youtube streams auto-start for me
L86[14:56:35] <Althego> they never do
L87[14:56:47] <Althego> a few years ago they did
L88[14:57:00] <Althego> so they started, heard the music and knew i need to switch
L89[14:57:00] <packbart> they do here. maybe you're holding it wrong :)
L90[14:57:26] <packbart> I did click the play icon after opening the link, though
L91[14:57:39] <FLHerne> T-2:30
L92[14:58:06] <packbart> but that's just browsers enforcing an action
L93[14:58:08] <Mat2ch> there is no play icon, if the stream is waiting
L94[14:58:13] <packbart> there was
L95[14:58:16] <Mat2ch> not for me
L96[14:58:24] <Mat2ch> just "Stream starts in 2 hours" and so on
L97[14:58:26] <Mat2ch> couting down
L98[14:58:45] <packbart> and a play icon in the middle of the window
L99[14:59:27] <packbart> browsers don't allow autoplay without click anymore
L100[14:59:41] <Mat2ch> no play button for me :(

L114[15:58:37] <Althego> 143 satellites
L115[15:58:45] <Althego> 10 starlinks
L116[16:01:04] <Althego> that's no moon :)
L117[16:02:13] <Mat2ch> what is it?
L118[16:02:24] <Althego> probably the moon
L119[16:02:37] <Althego> but obi wan said that's no moon :)
L120[16:04:21] <Mat2ch> I'm probably the only person on the planet who is annoyed by Star Wars references :P
L121[16:08:32] <Mat2ch> ok, it is the Moon
L122[16:10:50] <Mat2ch> "loss of coverage" - flies over Russia.
L123[16:10:51] <Mat2ch> weeeellll
L124[16:11:18] <Althego> probably after a while they convert the telemetry to starlink
L125[16:15:00] <Mat2ch> will starlink be high enough for this?
L126[16:15:52] <Althego> ahhmm, probably no
L127[16:15:58] <Althego> and the antennase face downwards
L128[16:16:09] <Althego> this is actualyl higher than the iss
L129[16:29:02] <FLHerne> It does seem like a bit of a space-junk-fest
L130[16:29:32] <Althego> at that altitude it is going to take a while for them to fal lbacvk
L131[16:29:43] <FLHerne> >100 unpowered, hard-to-detect smallsats in an orbit where decay will take decades+
L132[16:30:09] <FLHerne> Hm, maybe not that long
L133[16:30:16] <FLHerne> I forgot how low the ISS actually is :p
L134[16:33:35] <Mat2ch> some of thos sat have thrusters
L135[16:33:44] <Althego> but most not
L136[16:33:48] <Mat2ch> and some vendors even throw them actively down into the atmosphere at their EOL
L137[16:33:54] <Althego> at 10 cm size they are still trackable
L138[16:34:43] <Althego> the problem is, even a mm sized piece can make a hole on a spacecraft or a space suit
L139[16:48:47] <FLHerne> Althego: I think the issue is that they're still observable, but it's hard to distinguish them from each other
L140[16:49:33] <FLHerne> Althego: And if they get mixed up between observations the projected tracks are all wrong
L141[17:26:25] <minas_tirith> Space is a harsh place
L142[17:26:45] <Althego> the moon is a harsh mistress
L143[17:26:51] <minas_tirith> Space debris is certainly an interesting problem
L144[17:27:58] <minas_tirith> Althego, how do they watch 10cm pieces in orbit?
L145[17:28:06] <Althego> probably radar
L146[17:28:07] <minas_tirith> The orbit is a huge region and 10cm is tiny
L147[17:29:12] <packbart> .oO(Rezonatix is such a nice sample. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkw7l8IgM4g )
L148[17:29:27] <Althego> hehe i love this
L149[17:29:32] <minas_tirith> Do you ever think if some hypothetical higher species exists, and they see our comparatively primitive space technology what would they think? Perhaps space debris and similar problems are "essentially solved" for them, and they find us still at a peculiar and primitve stage.
L150[17:30:09] <packbart> "just use your natural force field, duh"
L151[17:30:27] <Althego> what did q say? just change the gravitational constant of the univers?

L153[17:31:05] <minas_tirith> These funny nuclear armed apes
L154[17:31:16] <packbart> tune your matter out-of-phase with the debris
L155[17:31:41] <minas_tirith> We know with our present physics only four fundamental forces and just one kind of electromagnetic wave
L156[17:31:59] <Althego> one kind?
L157[17:32:20] <minas_tirith> There was a time when electromagnetic waves were unknown to us, it could be possible at some future period we discover a new communication technique/physical phenomenon
L158[17:32:36] <Althego> funny, because we can literally see them :)
L159[17:32:47] <minas_tirith> Althego, to the mathematician I think all waves can be treated similarly
L160[17:32:55] <minas_tirith> Althego, we can see light but its electromagnetic nature wasn't known
L161[17:34:23] <Mat2ch> 10 cm is tiny? Some say they need a Ferrari because of that.
L162[17:35:01] <Althego> in plasma em waves can be longitudinal
L163[17:35:09] <Althego> lol
L164[17:35:20] <minas_tirith> Plasma is an obscure phenomenon
L165[17:36:03] <Althego> Magnetohydrodynamics combines the intuitive nature of Maxwell's equations with the easy solvability of the Navier-Stokes equations. It's so straightforward physicists add "relativistic" or "quantum" just to keep it from getting boring.
L166[17:36:07] <Althego> (from xkcd)
L167[17:37:08] <packbart> just pay the demon
L168[17:37:08] <minas_tirith> Physics is a very complex and subtle thing

L188[18:11:32] <minas_tirith> where some guy apparently meets someone in a railway station, they do drugs and the other one vanishes one day into some eldritch dimension
L189[18:13:44] <minas_tirith> raptop, creepy stuff
L190[18:13:50] <minas_tirith> I was wondering what you think of it
L191[18:14:26] <minas_tirith> Do you think he was real or just something that sculptor guy made up when he went nuts from drugs?
L192[18:15:56] <raptop> probably something a scultpor guy just made up
L193[18:17:48] <minas_tirith> raptop, there might be some weight to that interpretation. Given that the Kadath story ends much less ambiguously hinting the hero dies from a drug overdose.
L194[18:18:13] <minas_tirith> But of course, one can't always be justifying in using a diff story to draw parallels
L195[18:18:26] <minas_tirith> *justified
L196[18:23:55] <raptop> ah, I misread / wasn't picking up on this being in-universe

L222[21:04:38] <Sup> How can you get your rocket into orbit and how do you know if you escaped Kerbins gravity?
L223[21:05:59] <FLHerne> Go up, gravity turn until you're going sideways, when your periapsis is >70km you're good
L224[21:06:27] <raptop> Yeah, horizontal speed is good (the map view gives the information in a clear way)
L225[21:06:29] <FLHerne> (because lower than that air resistance will slow you down)
L226[21:07:59] <FLHerne> On bodies with no atmosphere you can orbit just by going really fast sideways at ground level, but watch out for mountains
L227[21:08:33] <raptop> For some speed numbers, a 70 km altitude circular orbit has a speed of 2296 m/s. A 100 km altitude circular orbit has a speed of 2246 m/s.
L228[21:08:57] <raptop> (around Kerbin. Typical speeds around the smaller planets/moons can be much lower)
L229[21:09:49] <FLHerne> And for why going fast sideways lets you stay up, consider 'Newton's Cannonball' https://thinkingscifi.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/newtons-cannon.jpeg

L244[21:43:15] <Guest64399> Just kind of stuck. I'm no KSP expert but I thought the proper keyboard stroke to hit was the "space" key to launch a rocket. The scenario I'm trying to run is that Apollo 13-like mission. When I hit the space key the ship shifts but does not ignite. What am I doing wrong, please?
L245[21:43:29] <umaxtu> throttle up?
L246[21:43:37] <Mat2ch> umaxtu: you were faster :D
L247[21:43:53] <Mat2ch> What is the default key for throtteling up? Shift?
L248[21:43:57] <umaxtu> which is actually a bad thing since I'm supposed to be doing homework
L249[21:44:02] <umaxtu> should be shift

L257[22:19:34] <JVFoxy> I wouldn't worry about it too much

L260[22:23:19] <packbart> ah, I see new ssettings. Maybe unchecking "Kerbals stop at end of ladder" removes the EVA phantom forces for now. I'll try that
L261[22:24:03] <JVFoxy> ever get them to shuffle sideways on ladders yet?
L262[22:24:09] <packbart> "Spooky Navigation Markers" - I wonder what that does
L263[22:24:34] <JVFoxy> But ya.. also hate that weird 'invisible force shoves kerbal along ladder' issue... while in space. :(
L264[22:24:37] <packbart> JVFoxy: no, but now in early career on a light craft, the EVA'd kerbal causes the pod to rotate faster and faster
L265[22:25:36] <packbart> otoh, I could reactivate the patch that swaps biome-specific experiments of EVA Report and Crew Report
L266[22:25:52] <packbart> let them report their biome sightings from the safety of the capsule
L267[22:25:55] <JVFoxy> I know with the Mk1 pod, just the pilot, goes EVA, hangs on the side. Sometimes slides, but also ends up putting pod in slow rotation. The rotation I don't have quite the issue with. I'm usually not out long enough for it to build up if it puts that sort of force on things
L268[22:26:21] <raptop> I swear, the force will alter orbits in lots of cases
L269[22:26:25] <JVFoxy> lol.. reading up Gemini space program. Why can't you have kerbal standing outside the door? Oh wait.. n/m, not designed that way
L270[22:26:38] <raptop> So hanging out over Kerbin or the mun collecting EVA reports gets a bit fraught
L271[22:26:46] <JVFoxy> ... outside.. or standing in the doorway.. or ugh whatever
L272[22:26:50] <packbart> raptop: it does - but they mostly cancel out after a rotation
L273[22:27:04] <raptop> 'mostly'
L274[22:27:40] <JVFoxy> by the time I get to orbiting Mun, I'd be using the 3 person crew pod.. I guess having a solo going out that far just seems a bit too.. isolation-ist
L275[22:27:58] <packbart> yeah, not greate if you have a maneuver node planned
L276[22:29:06] <JVFoxy> tiny little force -> pushes orbit miles off projections.. oops
L277[22:29:32] <JVFoxy> seem to recall some cases, reaction wheels trying to null things out would also mess with things
L278[22:30:07] <packbart> "// Swap Crew report and EVA report biome-dependence in space low" - ah, there it is
L279[22:31:12] ⇨ Joins: FLHerne (~flh@flherne.uk)
L280[22:31:27] <JVFoxy> I started thinking about a mod that adds some real world early experiments the crew would do from inside. Although, would probably also have to make research cost a bit more to balance things out a little
L281[22:31:59] <raptop> Hrm, the longest duration Mercury mission was only 34 hours
L282[22:32:12] <packbart> JVFoxy: the Mun isn't that far away and they've got radio to chat with KSC ;)
L283[22:32:34] <raptop> Yeah, it's what, a 6 hour transfer orbit?
L284[22:32:34] <JVFoxy> Gemini 8, sea urchin experiment in 0g. Trouble was, one of the crew snapped the handle off by accident. Turns out, the setup was different on the ground than the one that was sent up. :\
L285[22:32:38] <packbart> I just started a new career without Kerbalism. The freedom of going to the Mun and back on a single pod charge
L286[22:32:54] <JVFoxy> 6 hours is like 1 day on kerbin, isn't it?
L287[22:32:57] <packbart> also might just send an interplanetary expedition on command chairs just for the lulz
L288[22:33:24] <JVFoxy> we going to mars, in a ... shack with a rocket motor
L289[22:34:11] <packbart> I've been playing with life support for so long, it feels odd not to pack supplies
L290[22:34:20] <raptop> Hrm, misremembering I guess. More like a 15 hour transfer?
L291[22:34:32] <packbart> I might go back to TacLS or look at one the mods I didn't test yet
L292[22:35:27] <JVFoxy> TacLS one of the mods I played with, though sometimes I feel its a tad over powered?
L293[22:35:30] <raptop> Looks like a 3-day flight was considered for the Mercury program at one time
L294[22:36:10] <JVFoxy> raptop ya.. though when they got the last flight back, found the pilot had some blood pressure issues from sitting in the chair for so long
L295[22:36:17] <packbart> a round-trip to the Mun takes about 2 Kerbin days ( old example https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/kspmn1.mp4 )
L296[22:36:37] <packbart> not very efficient ascend or landing. but eh, it worked

L304[22:43:33] <JVFoxy> I've made a few notes on ideas I wanna do in KSP but that's as far as it went. Sometimes I wish I had kept more notes for when I hadn't played in a while. Forget what I was originally doing in a career
L305[22:46:38] <raptop> Oh, different Ingress
L306[22:47:14] <JVFoxy> Ingress... the pre-Pokemon Go game? (But uses same database)
