L19[02:17:16] <Solar_Oracle> That feeling when you unlock NTRs and discover that the aerospace tech nodes you haven't researched have all the fuel-only tanks.
L20[02:24:58] <raptop> hah
L21[02:25:31] <raptop> But, then, what did you expect from a civilization where car wheels were derived from turbopump turbines?
L22[02:28:49] <Solar_Oracle> Somewhere in the VAB, an unpaid intern attempts to solve the issue of now-useless tankage. "Hey, guys, why don't we just fill the empty oxidizer tanks with extra fuel?" "Why don't you just shut up and get us more coffee?"
L23[02:30:48] <raptop> Kerbal coffee is at least a few percent hydrazine
L24[02:31:41] <Solar_Oracle> I heard their astronauts' version of Tang is UDMH.
L25[02:38:20] <raptop> extra spicy
L26[02:39:32] <Solar_Oracle> Serious question: If I'm developing a fully reusable, two stage launch vehicle wherein the upper stage is also a crew vehicle/glorified payload fairing, would it be best to make that upper stage space plane-ish or a very tall capsule?
L27[02:42:37] <raptop> Making it plane-ish would probably be harder, but having cross-range would be nice for landing at KSC or the like
L28[02:42:56] <Kevin> tall capsules are unstable, hard to control and land. can it be a *short* capsule? :). spaceplanes also require quite a bit of design work, although once it's done it's a plane
L29[02:42:58] <Solar_Oracle> I'm guessing the latter would sort of be like this, but with the more forgiving delta-v requirements of KSP that actually make it possible https://imgur.com/GgJtNQO
L30[02:43:52] <Solar_Oracle> I'm terrible at designing planes, though, and I like the thought of using my wide NFT boosters as the basis for mammoth payload bays.
L31[02:45:33] <Solar_Oracle> As showcased in the official mod gallery https://i.imgur.com/P9rWmBN.png
L32[02:47:46] <raptop> shiny
L33[02:47:47] <Solar_Oracle> Though I don't have the fairing itself yet, as it's pretty far down the techtree where I am.
L34[02:47:57] <Solar_Oracle> I can build all the gigantic other rocket components, though.
L35[02:49:05] <raptop> I was mainly imaging a literal spaceplane for the upper stage, or a conventional upper stage with chutes (and maybe a bit of fuel reserved for soft landings)
L36[02:51:43] <Solar_Oracle> Like so? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Saturn-Shuttle_model_at_Udvar-Hazy_Center.jpg
L37[02:52:52] <Solar_Oracle> Or this? https://www.thedrive.com/content-b/message-editor%2F1591404746493-servandmurp.png?quality=60
L38[02:53:31] <Solar_Oracle> Though I sort of can't do that one in KSP, and I can't imagine making those tanks in real life would be easy.
L39[02:53:39] <raptop> the second one would be closer
L40[02:53:47] <raptop> uh, also https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Dyna-Soar_on_Titan_booster.jpg instead of the first
L41[02:54:13] <raptop> (exact design could be quite different in detail)
L42[02:55:52] <Solar_Oracle> No fins, only gimbals

L48[03:05:43] <Izaya> that first one is certainly something
L49[03:06:08] <Solar_Oracle> The Alt-Buran or something else?
L50[03:06:39] <raptop> I assume that Izaya means the saturn-shuttle
L51[03:06:50] <Izaya> the last picture posted, whatever that was
L52[03:07:11] <raptop> ah, the last one Solar_Oracle posted was an alt-buran
L53[03:07:18] <Izaya> I guess that figures
L54[03:07:27] <raptop> proposed second generation design that would be fully reusable
L55[03:07:31] <Solar_Oracle> Buran, but without a face.
L56[03:07:42] <Izaya> seems to embody the kerbal school of design: more boosters
L57[03:08:18] <Solar_Oracle> It's like Energia and Buran got hit by one of those energy waves from Doom and were welded together.
L58[03:09:37] <raptop> Some shuttle followup proposals were similar
L59[03:09:50] <raptop> (At least ones proposed circa 1985-1995)
L60[03:11:36] <Solar_Oracle> There were plenty of proposals to have the main propellant tank operate as a base for bulky payloads, like satellites with enormous dishes and oversized SUVs.
L61[03:13:36] <raptop> eg: https://spaceflighthistory.blogspot.com/2017/02/nasa-johnson-space-centers-shuttle-ii.html
L62[03:14:57] <raptop> notably: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--ecSpAMycgc/WJzCVZNaTmI/AAAAAAAAbBA/XTlcZgjYIVk7bFOYnq4U5pAfpCsqYhK6ACLcB/s1600/Image-of-shuttleIIc1.jpg

L64[03:16:57] <Solar_Oracle> Mini main propellant tanks!
L65[03:17:41] <Solar_Oracle> I'm guessing that didn't carry as much.
L66[03:20:40] <raptop> I'm unclear on exactly how much it would have carried, but probably
L67[03:21:12] * raptop inserts my standard rant that all fungible shuttle payloads should have gone on much cheaper Titan III / IV rockets
L68[03:25:19] <Solar_Oracle> Would that mean you'd have to leave out Galileo as it was one-of-a-kind?
L69[03:25:42] <raptop> Yes because the shuttle was a generation ahead in reliability
L70[03:25:54] <Solar_Oracle> In some alternate timeline, it's not delayed because of Challenger but ends up exploding on a somewhat less reliable Titan rocket.
L71[03:26:10] <raptop> well, yes
L72[03:27:40] <Solar_Oracle> You people today are all spoiled on your super reliable LVs. Back in ma' pappy's day, we'd be happy if our Atlas waited to explode after takeoff!
L73[03:29:07] <Solar_Oracle> Get all upset when yer' Mars helicopter is delayed? Meh, you know how many Rangers failed 'fore we even got one that could make it to the Moon!?

L77[03:32:00] <Solar_Oracle> Stupid exploding un-burnt fuel.
L78[03:36:22] <Solar_Oracle> My favorite launch failure is the time an unmanned Soyuz capsule entered launch-abort mode on the pad and the exhaust from the escape tower motors set the rest of the stack on fire.
L79[03:39:17] <Solar_Oracle> In effect, the launch abort system caused the failure of the rest of the rocket.
L80[03:39:24] <raptop> wait, what?
L81[03:39:39] <Solar_Oracle> http://russianspaceweb.com/soyuz-7k-ok-no1-explosion.html
L82[03:39:44] <raptop> That does sound vaguely like when that one soyuz caught on fire on the pad circa 1981-82
L83[03:39:52] <Solar_Oracle> It was one of the spacecraft's earliest tests.
L84[03:39:53] <raptop> ah
L85[03:40:19] <Solar_Oracle> There was a scrubbed launch and the LV registered an unplanned movement, triggering the escape system.
L86[03:40:38] <Solar_Oracle> However, there were peopled congregating on the pad at the time ala the Nedelin Catastrophe.

L91[03:50:37] <raptop> Consider: a miniseries about soviet/russian space stations. Start with them watching the moon landing and the pivot to the Salyuts, end with launching Zarya
L92[03:52:53] <Solar_Oracle> That'd be kind of a low note given that Zarya's owned by the U.S.

L192[11:20:55] <Mat2ch> lol. Blue Origin shall build a space craft that is then powered by a nuclear stage (a NERVA)
L193[11:21:21] <Mat2ch> They haven't put anything in orbit yet and already get such contracts. That smells so much like corruption, I don't know why.
L194[11:22:16] <flayer> to be fair many companies that don't have rockets to put them in space participate in building space crafts
L195[11:24:00] <Mat2ch> yes, but they usually have some reptutation to do so. Mostly because they are founded by space veterans
L196[11:24:09] <Mat2ch> And Blue Origin is a joke to me.
L197[11:24:15] <Althego> actually they didnt get contracts where ula and spacex did
L198[11:24:25] <Althego> so not everything is corrupt
L199[11:24:52] <Althego> i just dont get why they cant produce anything useful
L200[11:25:10] *** Guest2504 is now known as FLHerne
L201[11:25:14] <Althego> they have the backing of maybe the richest man, or at least he used to be, because he gets income from amazon
L202[11:25:31] <FLHerne> BO do have a lot of veteran space talent
L203[11:25:45] <Althego> yet they are older than spacex and never went into orbit
L204[11:26:02] <Mat2ch> It's a management problem!
L205[11:26:09] <Althego> even the launch that possibly happens today, that rocket although suborbital, never carried a person
L206[11:26:30] <Mat2ch> If a company doesn't perform well, it is usally the management making poor or bad decisions. Mostly because they don't know what they are talking about
L207[11:26:43] <Althego> well, spacex has that too
L208[11:26:51] <Mat2ch> Bezos is no Musk driving things forward.
L209[11:26:52] <Althego> i never believed the point ot point starship idea
L210[11:26:58] <Althego> costs too much and too risky
L211[11:27:03] <Mat2ch> It's just a vision, will probably never happen.
L212[11:27:30] <Mat2ch> Far too expensive. Building a hyperloop over land will be so much easier compared to that.
L213[11:27:34] <Mat2ch> and cleaner.
L214[11:27:39] <Mat2ch> and more efficient
L215[11:27:41] <Althego> and i dont believe hyperloop either
L216[11:27:54] <flayer> i think starship can actually happen
L217[11:28:00] <Mat2ch> Putting a maglev train in a low pressure tube is nothing fancy.
L218[11:28:02] <Althego> that can
L219[11:28:07] <Althego> probably hard, but can be done
L220[11:28:17] <flayer> to the moon, to mars, yeah, i think it's entirely feasible
L221[11:28:19] <Althego> but i am talking about suborbital point to point flights with it
L222[11:28:34] <Althego> it is simply not competitive with airlines
L223[11:28:43] <flayer> yeah, that seems... like it would take longer to set up and prepare each flight than the actual flight itself would take
L224[11:28:45] <Althego> especially with the new supersonic are happening soon
L225[11:28:50] <sandbox> you don't believe the hype?
L226[11:28:53] <flayer> in that whole space of time, you can just take an ordinary plane
L227[11:29:07] <Althego> you even need to take a boat out to a launch platform at sea
L228[11:29:21] <Althego> and the fuel costs alone are probably several times bigger
L229[11:29:26] <Althego> and less safe
L230[11:29:32] <Althego> for slight time margins
L231[11:30:14] <Althego> oh a jay
L232[11:30:22] <Althego> they dont usually come here

L235[11:31:05] <Mat2ch> Althego: uhm, the new super sonic stuff will have low capacity, high maintanace and nobody is talking about fuel costs here
L236[11:31:32] <Althego> because a rocket is not low capacity high maintenance
L237[11:31:38] <Mat2ch> hyperloop can be built high capacity, low mainantance and fully electric powered with energy regeneration on braking
L238[11:34:13] <Althego> hyperloop is maybe slightly more plausible than the point to point starship
L239[11:37:15] <flayer> did you also take into account the vast wealth inequality
L240[11:37:27] <flayer> people like musk, bezos, gates, etc, might think that it is worth the money

L258[12:17:33] <Mat2ch> seems reasonable. :D
L259[12:17:56] <Althego> lol
L260[12:18:18] <Althego> if it is under pressure it should be quite rigid
L261[12:18:39] <Althego> and the bottom is full of tiles which could be replaced
L262[12:18:58] <Althego> but non ideal. i am really afraid those tiles are going to be a long term issue
L263[12:19:09] <Mat2ch> well, even if it is pressurized this would be a lot of stress to the structure
L264[12:19:17] <Mat2ch> and damgaged tiles means more maintance.
L265[12:19:31] <Althego> the whole structure is big, i would make the webbed part bigger
L266[12:19:36] <Althego> think of the fairings
L267[12:19:49] <Althego> the web was way bigger and it was hard to catch them
L268[12:19:54] <Althego> to the point they gave up on it
L269[12:21:46] <Mat2ch> well, the fairings did come on parafoils
L270[12:22:02] <Mat2ch> which makes it a very dynamic system
L271[12:22:11] <Mat2ch> starship on the other hand falls very controlled all the way.
