L29[00:53:31] <transhohmann> I'm picturing rows of external command seats (can't remember the part name) under a fairing
L30[00:57:31] <raptop> pretty much
L31[00:57:53] <raptop> Though often it'll be something like the seats are attached to a small fuel tank and a 48-7S spark
L32[01:11:00] <transhohmann> well
L33[01:11:16] <transhohmann> it is lightweight
L34[01:12:07] <transhohmann> lovely science from the mun, and 1258 dv to spare
L35[01:14:05] <raptop> yay
L36[01:14:36] <SporkWitch> that's more than spare, that's downright wasteful lol. leave that thing in orbit and grab it later lol'
L37[01:14:58] <raptop> I mean, it's enough for a short hop
L38[01:15:29] <SporkWitch> it's probably enough to add a stop at minmus and come back, if you wait for a good window
L39[01:17:03] <SporkWitch> still filling in some holes in my mods. Starting an interstellar+MKS playthrough, but still struggling to figure out the progression path to setting up a colony with on-site production
L40[01:20:31] <transhohmann> awesome
L41[01:21:12] <transhohmann> yes, it was wasteful, but that dv barely saved me from death upon reentry
L42[01:21:39] <transhohmann> 4000m/s at 35km
L43[01:22:02] <SporkWitch> reentry heating in stock isn't bad, but definitely want a heat shield if you aren't circularizing in LKO before deorbiting, heh
L44[01:22:28] <SporkWitch> alternatively, going shallow and aerobraking over a few orbits
L45[01:22:56] <transhohmann> i was impatient after my passenger-free delay flight
L46[01:22:57] <SporkWitch> i had one of my spaceplanes just barely manage it with 4 passes and no fuel left
L47[01:23:21] <transhohmann> always fun
L48[01:23:28] <SporkWitch> (that was returning from minmus)
L49[01:23:39] <transhohmann> speaking of
L50[01:23:44] <SporkWitch> interplanetary, heat shields are NOT optional heh
L51[01:24:07] <transhohmann> I'm fine with getting to the mun, but minmus evades me
L52[01:24:32] <transhohmann> I'm always going too fast
L53[01:24:41] <SporkWitch> minmus is actually easier than the mun for landings, due to the lower gravity. the main thing is that it's on an inclined orbit.
L54[01:25:01] <transhohmann> the incline is fine
L55[01:25:03] <transhohmann> rhyme
L56[01:25:10] <SporkWitch> it's actually less dV to go to minmus, land, and come back, compared to the mun.
L57[01:25:31] <SporkWitch> if you're coming in too fast, it sounds like you're not waiting for a good transfer window
L58[01:25:31] <transhohmann> but it's like reverse tylo, it doesn't want to grab you
L59[01:26:04] <transhohmann> I'm a noob, frankly, I don't know much about windows
L60[01:26:09] <SporkWitch> i've only gone to eve and duna, haven't gone to tylo
L61[01:26:45] <SporkWitch> so with the mun and minmus, it's relatively easy. you want somewhere around a 60° angle between your maneuver node and minmus
L62[01:27:30] <transhohmann> I ended up on a path to jool whilst attempting to get to duna (sandbox, not there yet in career), due to some unplanned gravity assists
L63[01:27:48] <transhohmann> then crashed into tylo whilst warping
L64[01:27:54] <SporkWitch> you can also use the stock maneuver planner once you're in a circular orbit with aligned inclination. don't use the one it gives you, it's WAY too picky and will always make you wait ridiculuos numbers of orbits, but by looking at it, you can see a relatively good positioning, and build your own at an earlier time
L65[01:28:26] <transhohmann> hte one it gives me?
L66[01:28:50] <SporkWitch> i've started using astrogator for convenience. i still make a point of plotting my first trip manually, as a way of keeping myself honest, but once i've done it once, i don't see an issue with using astrogator to do the work for me
L67[01:29:05] ⇨ Joins: Wastl4 (~Wastl2@dynamic-089-012-003-112.89.12.pool.telefonica.de)
L68[01:29:52] <SporkWitch> so the stock maneuver planner has options for transfer windows and can set an alarm and give you a burn for it. it's generally really far in the future, to save negligible dV or not even be an ideal window, but it WILL let you see the relationship between the maneuver and the target, so you can build your own at a better time
L69[01:30:41] <SporkWitch> astrogator does the same, but it's much better at it, but for that reason, i make a point of doing my first trip to a new target without it, so it doesn't feel cheaty
L70[01:30:56] <transhohmann> Now I have a mental image of an alligator in a spacesuit
L71[01:30:58] <SporkWitch> (that said I'll usually tweak astrogator's maneuver as well to better suit what i want)

L73[01:31:45] <transhohmann> good to know, how do I access that function for the stock maneuver planner
L74[01:31:49] <SporkWitch> honestly didn't even occur to me to read it that way, but i also already knew the term 'astrogation" and "astrogator" (literally just navigation and navigator, but for space)
L75[01:32:03] <SporkWitch> it's the button on the toolbar that has the maneuver symbol
L76[01:32:25] <transhohmann> As did I, but I'm a punchline processor
L77[01:32:32] <SporkWitch> it requires you to be on a stable, relatively circular orbit
L78[01:33:13] <SporkWitch> that's another reason astrogator is nice, as it will calculate transfer windows even if you're on the ground or in the tracking station, so you can timewarp to a good transfer window THEN launch
L79[01:34:28] <transhohmann> heck yeah
L80[01:34:33] <transhohmann> thanks
L81[01:35:13] <XXCoder> ok
L82[01:35:20] <XXCoder> erm wrong window
L83[01:42:21] <transhohmann> ahh the strange craft i build to complete missions
L84[01:42:32] <SporkWitch> 'tis the kerbal way
L85[01:43:25] <transhohmann> "test 3.75m heat shield at 47,00m" I have only the smallest fuel tanks

L88[01:43:44] <SporkWitch> test missions always result in crazy builds lol
L89[01:43:51] <transhohmann> I love it
L90[01:44:34] <SporkWitch> having a small SSTO spaceplane can be handy for those, since it makes it relatively easy and inexpensive to get to the testing requirements, test, and return

L92[01:45:27] <SporkWitch> note also: you can adjust thrust and fuel on SRBs in the hangar, so you can set them to 0.1 thrust and 0.1 fuel, further reducing costs and not risking the craft (and letting you recover the booster for even more back)
L93[01:46:57] <transhohmann> I did make a jet that can fly for 3 hours IRL time and turn on a very large dime
L94[01:47:12] <transhohmann> 8 tons total
L95[01:48:01] <SporkWitch> planes are cool if patient. better to make a suborbital. Suborbital hops are awesome compromises on time vs fuel.
L96[01:48:07] <transhohmann> I have definitely used a booster, empty, as the body of a plane
L97[01:48:35] <SporkWitch> helicopters are pretty much totally non-viable, at least with stock physics.
L98[01:48:52] <transhohmann> I made it for the temperature tests below 16,000 m
L99[01:49:16] <SporkWitch> i'm torn on whether to make a go with FAR or not. It should make aircraft behave properly, but it'll also mean significantly increasing the challenge of making craft to leave the atmosphere, due to the much more realistic aerodynamics
L100[01:49:22] <transhohmann> jsut scooting along at 10km and 570m/s

L103[01:50:02] <transhohmann> and I mean manic
L104[01:50:18] <SporkWitch> Faram Aerospace. It overhauls the aerodynamics to be much more realistic, even to the point of modeling how aerodynamics change between subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic speeds
L105[01:50:37] <transhohmann> !
L106[01:50:40] <SporkWitch> (put simply: you better build it right, or aerodynamic forces WILL tear it apart lol)
L107[01:51:18] <transhohmann> yessss
L108[01:51:43] <SporkWitch> kind of like ArmA, a LOT of mods are built around making the game MORE complex and realistic lol
L109[01:52:45] <SporkWitch> for example the Interstellar mod I just started messing with. It doesn't simply add new, better engines, it's a massive overhaul to whole production chains, REQUIRING resources gathered in-game to fuel them, can't just buy it
L110[01:54:27] <SporkWitch> relatively simple life support (generic rations, rather than having to mess with oxygen, co2, food, AND water), a homesickness mechanic (so you can't have endless missions, without a proper base that's sufficiently built up). All together, the idea is that as you slowly build up your infrastructure, you can actually start building off-planet, not just build on kerbin and then send, maybe refuel.
L111[01:55:01] <SporkWitch> And it scales up to the point of other solar systems, as well. Basically everything I'm hoping for with KSP2, though hopefully with better explanation lol
L112[01:56:39] <SporkWitch> as cool as all that stuff is, I definitely advise playing mostly stock, no parts mods or extra systems, only quality of life mods, until you've at least made it to duna and have completed the stock tech tree. The core game is just so good, and the stuff i'm messing with right now is honestly outright overwhelming, don't want to burn yourself out with too much, too fast.
L113[02:00:19] <SporkWitch> transhohmann: one other newbie tip, avoid the temptation to use mobile labs. They're ridiculously OP and functionally work out to infinite science, just gotta time warp. You can literally max the tech tree without ever leaving Low Kerbin Orbit, which clearly defeats the point. They do have one big, and reasonable, benefit, and that's applying kerbal experience without returning to the KSC, but
L114[02:01:37] <SporkWitch> you can address that by modifying the difficulty settings, as there's a checkbox to immediately apply XP (so, for example, send a kerbal to a munar flyby for the first time and do an EVA, that's enough XP to hit one star, so you can use the prograde/retrograde hold options on a pilot on the return, while you couldn't on the way out; without that setting, you'd either need a lab to level up, or

L117[02:02:15] <transhohmann> noted
L118[02:02:51] <SporkWitch> the EVA-deployed science from Breaking Ground is reasonable, though, since it maxes out at a reasonable amount of science per biome, and some of them require you to do things (like slamming something into the planet near the sensor, for the seismograph). It's extra science, but no INFINITE science
L119[02:05:22] <SporkWitch> actually, science labs do have one other benefit: they can reset experiments without an EVA, at the cost of a ridiculous amount of electricity. So there are still reasons to use them, but I recommend against using their 'research' function, since that just produces ridiculous amounts of science for almost nothing
L120[02:06:23] <SporkWitch> (i don't think i'm exagerrating when I say that a 20 science experiment, converted to data for the lab and researched, will come out to 200 science... it's just insane)

L139[05:23:44] <SporkWitch> transhohmann: right click the antenna and click the button that says "require complete." It gives a warning message, but it's not real. Default, when you run out of power, it just aborts and the data is left on the device. Allow partial makes it save transmission progress and send another piece when enough power is recharged, repeating until it completes

L143[05:28:10] <SporkWitch> transhohmann: right click the heat shield and see if it has a "test" button; some of those contracts add one
L144[05:28:19] <transhohmann> yes
L145[05:28:29] <transhohmann> I clicked the "run test" button
L146[05:28:34] <transhohmann> nothing happened

L154[05:33:57] <transhohmann> test heat shield(3.75m) in flight over kerbin; alt 37,000m to 47,00m, spd 1790m/s to 2200m/s
L155[05:36:45] <SporkWitch> hmmm... are you sure ALL those conditions were met at the time? by the actual numbers, not a check in the contract display. i was thinking iwas a "test on suborbital" one; you can be on a suborbital trajectory, but it doesn't actually count until you leave the atmosphere AND have a periapsis that's below the atmosphere.
L156[05:37:26] <SporkWitch> it'll make it go green once a condition is met, but doens't always update if it's no longer met
L157[05:37:46] <SporkWitch> but for the test itself, it's looking at the real numbers when you click it

L165[06:16:30] <transhohmann> or could I do better
L166[06:18:59] <Althego> delta v is largely meaningless in the atmosphere. because you can go faster or slower with different amount of fuel usage based on the altitude
L167[06:19:39] <Althego> for example you can go high up and just sip the fuel, but still doing over 1000 m/s

L173[06:23:39] <Althego> but still the rule applies. how far you get depend on your altitude and speed, while for rockets in space there are no such factors

L422[20:37:19] * raptop forgets if I linked this paper on how it's probably not aliens https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11123
L423[21:14:26] <FLHerne> It's never aliens
L424[21:16:04] <Althego> the problem is, if that becomes a dogma
L425[21:16:16] <SporkWitch> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/812736295814168623/936731392144977991/russia.png
L426[21:16:39] <SporkWitch> reminded me of the aliens dude, and the meme that picture of rachel maddow inspired lol
L427[21:17:15] <darsie> Althego: What would it matter?
L428[21:17:48] <Althego> because if you find evidence of actual aliens, the dogma says it is never aliens, so you will rationalize as something else
L429[21:18:00] <Althego> come up with an other explanation, just to avoid it being aliens
L430[21:18:05] <darsie> What's gonna change if we find a techno signature?
L431[21:18:17] <Althego> so it will be never aliens, because the dogma says so
L432[21:18:26] <Izaya> "It's not DNS / It can't be DNS / It was DNS"
L433[21:18:34] <darsie> Or even a primitive biosignature.
L434[21:18:43] <FLHerne> darsie: people will just come up with increasingly strange hypothetical natural explanations
L435[21:18:49] <Althego> exactly
L436[21:19:09] <FLHerne> "it's just two stars colliding while a comet made of plutonium travels through them at 0.999c"
L437[21:19:09] <darsie> Ok, so we miss it. What's the diffenence to finding aliens?
L438[21:19:12] <SporkWitch> anyone know any GOOD submarine mods?
L439[21:19:25] <SporkWitch> can't seem to find the maritime pack on CKAN, and MOIST is poop
L440[21:19:29] <FLHerne> I mean, look at epicycles and equants
L441[21:20:08] <darsie> We couldn't contact/communicate with them because they're too far away. We would still kill each other and our biosphere.
L442[21:20:13] <FLHerne> people spent centuries coming up with complicated ways to make geocentricism fit to observed reality
L443[21:20:45] <FLHerne> before Copernicus and Kepler finally convinced people that elliptical heliocentric orbits are more convincing
L444[21:21:13] <FLHerne> darsie: Maybe the aliens are continuously broadcasting information on how to travel FTL
L445[21:21:14] <FLHerne> who knows
L446[21:21:19] <darsie> Maybe, if the aliens didn't look like humans, then God might look like them, not like us.
L447[21:21:30] <FLHerne> or how to build a zero-point-energy generator
L448[21:21:39] <FLHerne> <insert scifi trope>
L449[21:21:50] <darsie> FLHerne: Yeah, that'd be cool. Not likely, though, IMHO.
L450[21:22:17] <FLHerne> I don't really expect God to look like either, or indeed to exist, but eh
L451[21:22:31] <Althego> why would a god look like an ape
L452[21:22:33] <Althego> really stupid
L453[21:22:34] <FLHerne> !stupid God in our
L454[21:22:34] <LunchBot> FLHerne: No stupid quote found matching "God in our".
L455[21:22:36] <FLHerne> er
L456[21:22:41] <Althego> but i doubt we can continue this
L457[21:22:48] <Althego> religious stuff
L458[21:22:58] <darsie> It's said that god created humans similar to his appearence.
L459[21:23:02] <FLHerne> > Far from our being made in the image of God, we make our gods in our own image.
L460[21:23:12] <FLHerne> darsie: by humans, yes
L461[21:23:22] <FLHerne> Althego: is that a rule? if so we probably shouldn't
L462[21:24:16] <Althego> Political, ideological or religious posts unrelated to Spaceflight, or of a nature deemed likely to result in behavior banned under rule 2.2D;
L463[21:24:25] <Althego> under forbidden content
L464[21:24:48] <Althego> where did i hear this never aliens thing, it was in some video
L465[21:24:49] <FLHerne> Althego: but look how we got here
L466[21:24:56] <FLHerne> it's clearly related to spaceflight ;-)
L467[21:25:25] <SporkWitch> just remember: Europa is forbidden
L468[21:26:52] <Althego> europa clipper doesnt land, so we are fine
L469[21:27:01] <Althego> we havent found the monoliths yet
L470[21:27:15] <darsie> So schuf Gott den Menschen als sein Abbild, ja, als Gottes Ebenbild https://www.bible.com/bible/73/GEN.1.27.HFA
L471[21:27:56] <Althego> most people living in countries with christian background know about that in the bible
L472[21:28:48] <darsie> Didn't find it in English.
L473[21:29:10] <SporkWitch> To quote Pierre-Simon Laplace: "I have no need of that hypothesis"
L474[21:29:43] <darsie> Well, ppl would probably keep believing that even if we found (super)human intelligent aliens.
L475[21:30:50] <Althego> please dont go into religion, it will cause a heated debate, and i have to sleep
L476[21:31:35] <join_subline> 16:19 "anyone know any GOOD submarine mods?" -> submarines again. yes, devs, make more u-boat mods.. 🙏x2 . Particularily Type 214 ... bitte 🙏 x zwei
L477[21:32:03] <Althego> i did build subs in ksp
L478[21:32:11] <Althego> in fact i dived on 3 planets
L479[21:32:16] <join_subline> wunderbar
L480[21:32:23] <Althego> but i never had a mod for that
L481[21:32:30] <join_subline> video, or it didnt happen
L482[21:33:08] <darsie> ofc finding aliens would make a difference in the far future, but if we missed them now or in the near future, we'd find them anyways a bit later.
L483[21:33:22] <Althego> http://warpology.com/k/jump.mp4
L484[21:33:32] <join_subline> i made a sub with some bodies in minetest. and have the video of it, but forgot where i saved it. gotta find and upload it.
L485[21:33:50] <SporkWitch> one the current theories is that we've FOUND aliens, and that's the reason for the push for a global government; won't let us in the federation if we're fractured lol
L486[21:33:55] <darsie> Do solar panels work well under water?
L487[21:34:23] <SporkWitch> they shouldn't, but i'm not sure; can't control buoyancy well enough to test :(
L488[21:34:33] <join_subline> ohhhh sweet.. you just gave me a submarine wet dream. pre-mature submerging
L489[21:35:01] <Althego> do the engines still work underwater?
L490[21:35:04] <Althego> i think not anymore
L491[21:35:10] <darsie> SporkWitch: I made a balanced sub from a long stack of batteries, and two counterrotating motors/propellers front and back.
L492[21:35:14] <SporkWitch> pretty sure they fixed it so water doesn't count as air
L493[21:35:26] <Althego> but there are electric props now
L494[21:35:29] <darsie> Maybe some small cubes.
L495[21:35:32] <darsie> Those heavy ones.
L496[21:35:40] <SporkWitch> one of the reasons i'm looking for a decent mod for balast and propulsion
L497[21:35:58] <Althego> you dont need to control buoyancy to test solar panels, just sink
L498[21:36:15] <SporkWitch> you do if you don't want to smash into the ocean floor, which is what kept happening with MOIST lol
L499[21:36:24] <SporkWitch> either it wouldn't sink at all or it would sink uncontrollably lol
L500[21:36:37] <Althego> just use some metal part that can take it
L501[21:36:59] <Althego> air brakes used to work
L502[21:37:07] <Althego> not much though
L503[21:37:55] <darsie> I built a sinking Eve lander by chance.
L504[21:40:05] <Althego> hehe
L505[21:40:29] <Althego> i can imagine the kerbals facepalming in the control room, while the crew is panicing
L506[21:40:38] <darsie> Allowed me to bring data from Eves surface and oceans.

L524[22:05:01] <darsie> It's required for landing ;).

L541[22:54:31] <SporkWitch> how did it never occur to me that a kerbin day is much shorter than 24h? lol i was noticing on the countdowns when the day went down it jumpecd to 5 hours and change, which duh, rotational period of 6 hours per kerbin day (approximately) >_< lol so freakin' obvious, but never really paid attention to times before lol
L542[22:55:12] <darsie> :)
L543[22:55:46] <darsie> Gives you more equatorial speed.
L544[22:59:13] <SporkWitch> so LEO is ~7.8km/s, equatorial rotational velocity ~1.67km/s. Kerbin is what 384 at the equator? and ~2400 for LKO. Assuming those numbers, it's roughly proportional to earth (which makes sense, if they just scaled things down compared to real world).
L545[23:06:28] <bees> ...no?
L546[23:06:38] <darsie> spacex launch scrubbed
L547[23:06:38] <bees> earth has like 300-450 m/s iirc
L548[23:07:13] <SporkWitch> derp, fudged my units.
L549[23:07:25] <SporkWitch> 1674km/h, not /s
L550[23:07:42] <darsie> Kerbin is 600 km radius
L551[23:09:11] <darsie> I get 175 m/s on Kerbin's equator.
L552[23:11:29] <darsie> Sidereal rotational velocity 174.94 m/s. I used solar days.
L553[23:14:08] <SporkWitch> i'm not sure that would be the right value? given that we're no longer talking about length of days, but literally the "kick" you get for launching prograde from the equator, the absolute rotational velocity is what we'd care about
L554[23:14:57] <SporkWitch> you seem to be mixing numbers. solar day is measured noon-to-noon and would give the wrong result; sidereal day is the actual time to complete 360°
