L39[09:51:02] <darsie> Mat2ch: When?
L40[09:51:31] <Althego> in the 22nd century
L41[09:52:31] <darsie> I thought ob betting against that, but can't think of a stable wager.
L42[09:53:08] <darsie> of*
L43[09:54:40] <darsie> 1/100 worth the average human consumption.

L53[10:00:45] <Althego> but you can only eat so much food without getting fat, so he eats probably as much as an average american
L54[10:01:37] <darsie> He might spend more on cars, though.
L55[10:01:45] <Althego> probably doesnt have much time to exercise, so oxygen consumption is below average

L69[10:15:12] <Althego> could work as a stopgap, not longterm
L70[10:15:31] <darsie> Cloning is dumb. Eugenics could be interesting.
L71[10:15:43] <Althego> you can combine

L82[10:57:46] <snow> and cellophane is a plastic that's made from cellulose
L83[10:59:21] <Mat2ch> and as every other plastic it's hard to recycle.

L92[11:16:04] <darsie> Mat2ch: In Austria paper recycling is common.
L93[11:16:56] <snow> I think that was in response to cellophane rather than cellulose

L172[14:58:57] <JVFoxy> I usually did the pointed nose cone fairing thing on the sides with engines under, but some recent flights, I'm starting to wonder if blunt ends (forwards and aft) have a more serious affect than they used to in previous versions
L173[14:59:30] <Althego> dont think they changed that intentionally
L174[14:59:43] <Althego> but blunt ends do have effects
L175[15:00:51] <JVFoxy> small craft, I can get to orbit with tight DV budgets. 2300dv from launch. But I've noticed with some of the bigger craft, where I've ended up with flat aft sections, even with nearly 3000dv, it won't make orbit
L176[15:01:41] <JVFoxy> when I did cap off the ends, seems to have made a bit of a difference? (but not enough) I usually just ended up doing a complete redesign

L181[15:04:03] <darsie> hmm
L182[15:04:18] <Izaya> alternatively, turn on inter-stage nodes then slap a fairing around the whole thing
L183[15:04:55] <darsie> An engine plate can act as a fairing?
L184[15:06:06] <JVFoxy> allows for extra mounting points, one part instead of multiple blocks..
L185[15:06:20] <Izaya> anything can act as a fairing if you're brave enough
L186[15:06:55] <darsie> Maybe if space is heavily warped.

L230[15:43:22] <sandbox> it's warmer here than it is down south
L231[15:43:24] <Althego> luckily i go out only 3 times a week. because of the virus
L232[15:45:06] <packbart> about the same. I'm in the office on Monday and Thursday and to the supermarket on Saturday
L233[15:46:00] <Althego> i go in once a month for paperwork
L234[15:46:09] <Althego> the hazardous trip

L244[16:00:15] <darsie> Why is it counting down? Is this live? Doesn't say live.
L245[16:00:39] <darsie> Hmm, waiting for stream begin?
L246[16:01:37] <Althego> as if you havent seen youtube before
L247[16:01:45] <Althego> yes it is counting down until stream start
L248[16:01:57] <Althego> they are going to move the soyuz around
L249[16:02:11] <JVFoxy> so we going to have an overlap of two dragon2 ships docked to the ISS? Next one set to launch in april, but the one up there isn't set to come down till May?
L250[16:02:23] <Althego> since each ship is a lifeboat too, it must be done with full crew that used it go go up
L251[16:03:01] <Althego> there is always an overlap with crew handover
L252[16:03:22] <JVFoxy> speaking of lifeboats.. station was going to get something of the like years back but the project was canceled if I recall for some reason?
L253[16:03:51] <umaxtu> money
L254[16:03:52] <JVFoxy> they going to retire launching crew up with soyouz now or?
L255[16:04:32] <Althego> mostly because of political reasons
L256[16:04:50] <Althego> since spacex is a bit cheaper, but starliner is a bit more expensive
L257[16:04:57] <Althego> comparede to the soyuz
L258[16:05:05] <umaxtu> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crew_Return_Vehicle
L259[16:05:07] <JVFoxy> soyuz and dragon going to be shuttling people up and down together or you think there'll be a shift to the US launches only now?
L260[16:05:29] <Althego> this thing looks like the dreamchaser

L262[16:05:37] <Althego> and if we are lucky w can still see that fly
L263[16:05:47] <Althego> without people first
L264[16:06:51] <umaxtu> now I'm picturing a Honda CRV docking to the ISS
L265[16:06:58] <JVFoxy> lol
L266[16:07:06] <JVFoxy> better not be a reliant robin then
L267[16:07:18] <JVFoxy> no thanks to Top gear
L268[16:07:23] <Althego> with reliant engines? :)
L269[16:08:09] <JVFoxy> engines? uff.. more like one, and it still be way too overpowered
L270[16:08:38] <Althego> hehe kerbal tech in real life
L271[16:08:56] <Althego> probably separate kerbal team doing the assembly and maintenance on it
L272[16:09:03] <JVFoxy> could probably get away with using the ant engine for launching a reliant robin to space
L273[16:10:19] <JVFoxy> repurpose a large propane tank and couple of amateur built rockets as SRBs

L276[16:11:31] <Althego> similar to the chinese rocket chair myth
L277[16:11:34] <Izaya> hey
L278[16:11:35] <Althego> just full to orbit
L279[16:11:57] <Izaya> would a reliant robin be exempt from aerospace laws in the UK because it's technically a motorcycle?
L280[16:12:52] <Althego> lol
L281[16:13:22] <Althego> the kid with the bicycle in e.t. when they were flying. would they be?
L282[16:14:07] <JVFoxy> which aerospace laws?
L283[16:14:36] <JVFoxy> since we going down that track, what about super heroes with strong throwing arms? What if they were to throw stuff into space for ya?
L284[16:14:52] <JVFoxy> granted.. would have to get around that whole air friction problem.
L285[16:16:58] <JVFoxy> ok.. replace super hero with magnetic rail space launching system half buried into the side of a mountain. It's just a heat resistant command chair pod thing.
L286[16:17:46] <packbart> is it a bird? is it a plane? if not, it's illegal for it to be flying
L287[16:18:22] <darsie> Do balloons fly?
L288[16:18:45] <packbart> according to ballon enthusiasts, no
L289[16:18:53] <Althego> what about the flying superheroes?
L290[16:19:15] <packbart> need a license and take off and land at designated airfields
L291[16:19:22] <darsie> Or flying supervillains? :)
L292[16:19:27] <Althego> no, balloons dont fly, because those are aerostats
L293[16:20:15] <JVFoxy> ... so throwing a rock is illegal over there?
L294[16:20:25] <JVFoxy> balloons float...
L295[16:20:40] <JVFoxy> if you wanna get 'technical' ^_^
L296[16:21:03] <JVFoxy> airship... as in a ship that floats on water.. but anyways.. I digress...
L297[16:21:19] <sandbox> do floats float?
L298[16:22:21] <Althego> i think the airship thing originally cam from the belief, that water and air have a surface, there sail the ships. and there should be a layer where air and fire meet, and you could sail there too, that would have been the airship
L299[16:22:31] <Althego> current airships are luke submersibles, not boats
L300[16:22:34] <JVFoxy> rootbeer floats..
L301[16:22:35] <Althego> *like
L302[16:22:39] <JVFoxy> well ice floats but anyways
L303[16:23:03] <Althego> and somehow nobody ever tried to sail on the boundary of earth and water :)
L304[16:23:12] <Althego> sounds like a kerbal thing
L305[16:23:16] <Althego> we must do it, now
L306[16:23:31] <JVFoxy> no but there was a time when landyatchs were a thing.. they sorta 'floated' across the ground cuz of some funky suspension (cars)
L307[16:24:07] <JVFoxy> oh wait.. you said earth and water.. lol... not earth and air..
L308[16:25:39] <JVFoxy> Althego so like driving on the bottom of the ocean sorta thing?
