L28[10:55:38] <flayer> with the persistent rotation mod its a lot easier to do maneuvers with very little reaction wheel action

L30[10:58:15] <flayer> sometimes i feel really nervous that i only have a rudimentary understanding of how the universe works

L32[11:04:45] <sandbox> how does it work?

L33[11:05:50] <darsie> We haven't figured it out completely, yet.

L34[11:06:06] <flayer> and that isn't unnerving to you?

L35[11:06:24] <darsie> Like relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible, so they're incomplete.

L36[11:06:52] <darsie> no

L37[11:06:58] <flayer> I'm not even sure how taxes work

L38[11:07:13] <darsie> You could learn that if it's important to you.

L39[11:07:14] <flayer> let alone relatively and quantum mechanics, or the fact that they're incomplete

L40[11:07:26] <flayer> lmao

L41[11:07:30] <darsie> relativity*

L42[11:07:34] <flayer> yeah

L43[11:09:52] <darsie> It's very complex and our minds are limited. We're the first species advancing this much to worry about such things. Maybe future beings will figure it out.

L44[11:10:32] <darsie> We can live without such knowledge.

L45[11:11:09] <darsie> We can do simpler things, like figure out why fairings have high drag in KSP if they're the root part.

L47[11:15:09] <flayer> i don't understand how any of that works either - how do they make it have drag on the magic light surface that I'm looking at?

L48[11:15:16] <flayer> wat.

L49[11:16:02] <flayer> i'm no stranger to coding, but there's a huge part in this process that i don't fully grasp

L50[11:20:29] <darkie> It's not magic, it's technology. Magic doesn't exist. Well, depending on how magic is defined. If it's something some people can do and others can't, then sure it exists. But I rather view magic as violations of the laws of nature and if magic existed, then it would just be more laws of nature and thus not be magic.

L51[11:21:21] <flayer> it's /weird/

L56[12:37:08] <darkie> 1337

L57[12:37:28] <Althego> .

L58[12:37:54] <darkie> .

L59[13:03:25] <flayer> alright, time for air

L60[13:03:57] <Althego> dont, oxygen just kills you fatser

L62[13:37:02] <sandbox> fatser 1337

L63[14:06:30] <Althego> kikkerikii

L64[14:14:08] <Althego> lol way to go. using hot glue to make a gingerbread house

L67[14:39:11] <Mat2ch> Althego: ewww

L68[14:39:26] <Mat2ch> the forbidden sugar icing...

L69[14:40:12] <Althego> it is still not haachama cooking...

L70[14:42:28] <Mat2ch> and I just don't want to know. :D

L71[14:42:35] <Mat2ch> There might be a S20 static fire today.

L72[14:42:49] <Mat2ch> How many static fires did we see with it yet? 3?

L74[14:48:52] <bees> darkie: You put a spaceplane into a regular plane to see whether it is somehow different from the usual metaplaning. A small dog accidentally eats the subsequent interstellar war.

L75[14:52:06] <darkie> Infocom HH reference

L77[14:54:05] <Mat2ch> So many of them

L78[14:54:30] <darkie> The lower 6.

L79[14:58:21] <darkie> There was an annoying noseprint on them which I tried to clean off, but then I thought, ah, I'll clean them fully.

L81[15:10:05] <Mat2ch> John Madden died...

L82[15:10:14] <sandbox> again?

L83[15:10:46] <Mat2ch> Please elaborate

L84[15:10:57] <Althego> "again?" that was used in stargate when they mention daniel jackson would die to see this, or something like that

L86[16:19:32] <Mat2ch> https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1476194840018890756

L87[16:19:34] <Mat2ch> nice!

L88[16:21:45] <Althego> if they can get 10 years out of it, then i would say it was exceptionally successful

L89[16:28:26] <flayer> hrm

L95[18:08:53] <Althego> so they did something

L96[18:09:30] <Althego> can be a 6 engine test, or a 3

L98[20:09:29] <FLHerne> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FHzLDYRaIAAxI8B?format=jpg&name=orig

L99[20:09:33] <FLHerne> *scronch*

L100[20:10:07] <Althego> yes, looks quite sad

L101[20:10:35] <darkie> Bad landing?

L102[20:10:50] <darkie> Or slipped?

L103[20:10:54] <Althego> the landing seemed to be fine

L104[20:10:59] <Althego> but now it is tilted

L105[20:11:33] <FLHerne> I don't see how the octagrabber could have got underneath if the damage was against the deck on landing

L106[20:12:15] <FLHerne> Looks like a leg's given away after driving the robot underneath

L107[20:12:23] <FLHerne> s/away/way/

L108[20:18:15] <Mat2ch> or some wave made the whole ship throw the booster around and the crush core of one of the legs got further crushed

L116[21:16:52] <Izaya> Nuclear shuttle is fully assembled in orbit! [cw ussr inspired flag] https://shadowkat.net/tmp/Wg7P.jpg

L117[21:17:55] <raptop> big shuttle

L118[21:18:22] <Izaya> not sure if I want to expand this one to the full 9 tanks or use it for KLO-LMO operations

L119[21:21:16] <Izaya> And then there's the multi-docking module to work out. Maybe it needs to go to the station, provide more docking ports.

L122[22:37:08] <Mat2ch> firey afternoon in Boca Chica...

L123[22:39:23] <darkie> Was there fire?

L124[22:39:31] <Mat2ch> in the stream before...

L125[22:39:42] <darkie> Says Test aborted.

L126[22:39:47] <Mat2ch> they already did a static fire and now they aborted, but we're waiting for another

L127[22:41:41] <darkie> can't find it.

L128[22:49:26] <Mat2ch> https://youtu.be/AC3tbUnEyfM?t=3965

L129[22:49:29] <Mat2ch> here you go

L130[22:49:47] <darkie> thx <3
