L57[04:12:10] <JVFoxy> rwar... got two streams showing here...
L58[04:13:13] <SporkWitch> i'm still expecting a scrub, and if they don't, an explosion
L59[04:14:45] <JVFoxy> :\
L60[04:15:12] <JVFoxy> I really hope it goes without too many problems, can't expect perfect but.. don't wanna see it crash and burn
L61[04:16:14] <Althego> explosion seems unileky
L62[04:17:14] <SporkWitch> there's a reason for the SLS = Senate Launch System meme. This mission should have happened 20 years ago. It was politics and illegal corporate kickbacks that delayed it to this point, and it shows in how almost every test flight got scrubbed
L63[04:18:03] <JVFoxy> I'm a bit stoked that us Canadians are going to be building our own robotic moon rover
L64[04:18:19] <Althego> the idea of sls is from the 90s, and it made sense then since it reuses shuttle parts. but the shuttle is not flying anymore, it is not reusable, really expensive, also the development cost was astronomical despite the reuse
L65[04:18:45] <Althego> it is not wasting my money, but if i want humans to go to space permanently this is not the right direction
L66[04:19:22] <SporkWitch> Althego: i honestly can't remember the name of the competing program, that looked more realistic; it was killed by politics, and that fight is what started the SLS = Senate, not Space, Launch System meme
L67[04:19:25] <JVFoxy> ya the hope was that being able to reuse things would help drive costs down. Turned out more of a technical headache than they expected, from what I gathered. A lot of experienced gained from it though, so hopefully it wasn't for naught
L68[04:20:10] <Althego> even spacex had the same failure. development of falcon heavy was way more expensive and hard than they expected
L69[04:20:11] <Rokker> SporkWitch: I hope you don't mean constellation
L70[04:20:29] <Althego> with the death rocket?
L71[04:20:34] <JVFoxy> flying match stick rocket?
L72[04:21:45] <SporkWitch> Rokker: again, don't remember the name. I also wasn't following space as much back then as I was politics, because I was military and it decided who was going to be shooting at me and who I might have to shoot at. What I remember about it is the politics and the obviousness of the corporate political connections in delaying things and choosing who to buy from
L73[04:23:08] <Althego> there was one politician who successfully suppressed the idea of orbital fuel depot
L74[04:23:24] <Althego> it is on the table after he retired or something
L75[04:23:51] <SporkWitch> and i'm done, because the stream is now being racist and sexist
L76[04:24:31] <gjcs14> maybe in the lead up to China doing their own manned moon missions there will be a more serious look at doing things
L77[04:25:11] <gjcs14> wonder how far away we are from the ESA doing anything like that
L78[04:27:42] <JVFoxy> I /could/ have been more involved in space related stuff... trouble was, being told by parents that 'only the USA did that stuff, not Canada'... sigh..
L79[04:28:32] <SporkWitch> sucks, but i'd worry more about your PM Castro Jr.
L80[04:28:33] <JVFoxy> although.. older now, I have a feeling there may have been other reasons for saying such things... trying to guide me towards less risky jobs?
L81[04:29:30] <SporkWitch> no, more likely the usual, across all places, of just saying "don't dream, be a cog"
L82[04:32:25] <JVFoxy> well.. there was something going on but I won't get into it here, in the open. Let's just say 'parents had their own ideas'..

L90[05:06:37] <Izaya> oh okay
L91[05:06:43] <JVFoxy> its in case they run into some problems and need to delay things to resolve it prior to launch.
L92[05:06:45] <Izaya> I heard it was 5PM local, it's just after 4 and the clock shows ~30 minutes
L93[05:07:04] <Izaya> but if they're gonna get to a hold that makes sense
L94[05:07:15] <JVFoxy> delay will be 1h9m give or take I heard somewhere in all the chatter

L99[05:16:40] <SporkWitch> only if you didn't read the book, like the guy the nazi that made the movie that line's from
L100[05:19:18] <JVFoxy> books vs movie editions is always going to be a.. .. eh well.. ya.. thing
L101[05:22:25] <SporkWitch> true, it was just a special example, because Paul Veheuven (sp?), in his own words, recorded in interviews, explicitly stated he set out to make a movie denouncing a terrible fascist book, and also, on tape, in his own words, stated he didn't even finish the first chapter. Which explains why, despite all the flaws in the movie, it literally argued agaisnt all the points he meant to make, because
L102[05:23:09] <SporkWitch> it demonstrated the liberal, small-government "utopia" that the book was actually about
L103[05:25:55] <SporkWitch> the book is one WELL worth reading, not just because it's one of THE classics of science fiction (it, along with Forever War, and Old Man's War, are generally regarded as THE three great works of military science fiction), but becaus it's show, explains itself well, and the actual message is one of personal responsibility, looking out for one's family first, then friends, then wider from there.
L104[05:28:16] <SporkWitch> On top of that, like the other two mentioned in parens, it is a work of its time. Heinlein was a Navy veteran, and Starship Troopers was written just after WW2, published in the 50s. The Forever War was bay Joe Haldeman, a Vietnam veteran, and dealing with the issues of dissociation he felt when he came home (I didn't experience anything like he did in Vietnam, but it still hit for me, because
L105[05:28:51] <SporkWitch> even without that level of trauma, it was still jarring coming back to the US, because of what people just don't understand, because they've always been in the US and safe)
L106[05:30:09] <SporkWitch> Old Man's War is a bit of an exception, the author is not a veteran, but once again, it captured a lot about the time it was written, a little after 2011-09-11, and the corruption of corporations and government, and how they manipulate the people and force wars for their own profit

L330[21:42:15] <JVFoxy> well not sure if 'friend' per-say, just .. it gets around
L331[21:43:00] * JVFoxy watches a rocket shake itself to bits soon as it loads on the pad. Turns out that turning 'rigid connections' setting on the fuel tanks was causing things to freak out. >_<
L332[21:44:59] <JVFoxy> or not... seems at a certain fuel level, things just.. 'give up'? Thinking clipping tanks to make for a 1 to 4 section rocket isn't making things happy
L333[21:49:15] <JVFoxy> ok nope.. not clipping tanks doesn't make a diff.. even with auto clipping.. ugh break time anyways. Oddly enough, hadn't gotten a weird stereo bug where engine rumble only comes from one side. (suspect this is cuz I wasn't using stabilizer launch clamps. Noticed they do the bug after doing more than one launch)
L334[21:49:35] <JVFoxy> ... auto clipping.. -> auto strutting (blame lack of coffee)

L344[23:46:31] <SporkWitch> JVFoxy: it's an eliptical orbit right now, if you play KSP you know that higher apoapsis = lower velocity. Logically it's going to be DECELERATING until it reaches the barycenter between earth and moon, and then speed up again once the moon's gravity becomes the more influential
L345[23:47:12] <SporkWitch> that is to say, it's going to cover the beginning of the trip out faster than then the middle and end
L346[23:47:32] <SporkWitch> (approximation, obviously, but it'll be roughly like that)
L347[23:49:29] <SporkWitch> JVFoxy: as to your rapid unscheduled disassembly issue, i strongly recommend Kerbal Joint Reinforcement. Even without auto-strut and rigid attachment turned on, it pretty much completely eliminates wobble if things are LOGICALLY in a stable configuration. I do still usually auto-strut really large radial boosters, though, because sometimes they can still torque a bit (RL you'd probably have
L348[23:49:51] <SporkWitch> multiple decouplers, but KSP doesn't actually allow for multiple attachment points, because it represents craft as a tree structure)
L349[23:52:36] <SporkWitch> Pinkbeast: rigid attachment can help with wobble and flex, but it also makes the joints more brittle, so where without it you do get some flex, the force before breaking is greater, whereas with rigid, you get no or almost no flex, but it breaks off with less force. Once again, Kerbal Joint Reinforcement largely addresses this, and basically makes things that are directly attached to each other
L350[23:52:44] <SporkWitch> ACTUALLY be attached to each other, not just duct-taped like stock, heh
