L5[00:35:24] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L6[00:35:24] <LunchBot> You build a dual-purpose jetpack slash flamethrower. You accidentally call Tylo "Typo" at the pre-mission press conference.

L7[00:38:48] <Eddi|zuHause> isn't every rocket like a flamethrower/jetpack?

L8[00:39:20] <Eddi|zuHause> i mean, there's a flame coming out of it, and it pushes you upwards

L9[00:40:21] <darsie> I've seen a steam rocket.

L11[00:51:12] <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not talking about cola&menthos "rockets" :p

L12[00:59:50] <darsie> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IyhELeYixU

L13[00:59:57] <darsie> Mad Mike dies / R.I.P.

L14[01:18:43] <Eddi|zuHause> i think i heard about that

L15[01:22:41] <Eddi|zuHause> let me rephrase that: isn't every *successful* rocket like that? :p

L16[01:23:15] <Eddi|zuHause> and by "successful" i mean "reached space"

L17[01:24:26] <darsie> If you don't succeed at first, redefine success.

L18[01:25:18] <Eddi|zuHause> also, leaving out a lot of things that reached space by other means, like being hit by a nuclear explosion, or a meteorite impact, or being lighter than air, or ...

L19[01:25:58] <darsie> Bouyance won't get you to space.

L20[01:26:52] <Eddi|zuHause> well, individual helium atoms regularly reach space

L21[01:27:21] <darsie> If I get my mind uploaded it could be transmitted to space, e.g. with radio or laser.

L22[01:27:23] <Eddi|zuHause> transporting things with them, maybe not

L23[01:27:48] <Eddi|zuHause> i think photons count as "lighter than air" :p

L24[01:28:16] <darsie> Depends on density ;).

L25[01:28:36] <darsie> One way to make a black hole could be to shoot enough photons to one place.

L26[01:29:12] <Eddi|zuHause> that gets us to "nuclear explosion" territory :p

L27[01:30:22] <darsie> Photons don't have nuclei ;).

L28[01:31:12] <Eddi|zuHause> no, but you have to emit the photons somehow :p

L29[01:31:53] <darsie> Yeah, that might be done by pumping a laser medium with nukes :).

L30[01:37:54] <Eddi|zuHause> remember when people were scared the LHC could create micro black holes? :p

L31[01:38:31] <Eddi|zuHause> !outcome add Luckily, the micro black hole dissipated quickly.

L32[01:38:32] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Luckily, the micro black hole dissipated quickly.

L39[02:32:29] <Questor30> howdy, is anyone active right now?

L40[02:52:36] <raptop> no

L41[02:52:40] <raptop> we're all lurking

L42[02:52:56] <raptop> More seriously, if you have a question, feel free to ask!

L43[02:53:39] <Questor30> lol

L44[02:53:45] <Questor30> thanks

L64[10:07:43] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L65[10:07:43] <LunchBot> You start wandows ngrmadly. You discover the kerbals are communist.

L66[10:07:59] <Althego> hehe

L67[10:08:01] <Eddi|zuHause> yay?

L68[10:12:35] <XXCoder> thats third time that mission come up lol

L69[10:12:55] <XXCoder> ;mission

L70[10:12:55] <LunchBot> You attempt to insert a nuclear ramjet probe into Jool's atmosphere. Curiosity of tolerance levels leads to an untimely demise.

L71[10:13:07] <XXCoder> ah too close then. drat

L72[10:13:31] <Eddi|zuHause> it's the ikarus story all over again...

L73[10:16:25] <Althego> flew too close to the coffin corner :)

L75[10:27:01] <Althego> ngrmadly

L78[10:31:36] <sandbox> I remember back in the windows 95 days I edited the image file that said "It's now safe to turn off your computer" to say "it's not safe to turn off your computer"

L79[10:40:06] <XXCoder> I still have boot animation for windows 95

L80[10:40:32] <XXCoder> few of em really

L81[10:41:42] <XXCoder> anyway one I made is comic of fat eagle on nest in tree, with few binoculars and stuff in nest. The viewpoint is though binoculars, and eagle is looking at you, looking happy

L82[10:43:27] <XXCoder> (made from a comic, I have long forgotten where its from. maybe far side?)

L83[10:45:05] <XXCoder> oh found it! https://i.pinimg.com/236x/1a/d8/f7/1ad8f70cae5dd2f8c3ea4c17fa7f967f.jpg

L84[10:45:24] <XXCoder> so it was far side. version I have is colorized and squashed to fit in picture size

L85[10:46:44] <XXCoder> animation was eyes blinking sometimes

L89[11:51:23] <Guest69309> I would like to spur a thought experiment called First Can on the Moon, a new Space Race. Basically, what would it take to safely land a soda can on the moon, empty except for a 25 gram beacon, communication and sensor array, with an antenna and solar panel on the outside? Could KSP and calculations be used to develop scenarios. Assuming a traditi

L90[11:51:23] <Guest69309> onal rocket or a rocket launched from a high altitude balloon?

L92[11:58:59] <Eddi|zuHause> sounds like a !mission :p

L93[12:02:30] <Althego> !mission add You have come here to chew bubble gum and launch rockets, but you are all out of bubble gum.

L94[12:02:31] <LunchBot> Added mission: You have come here to chew bubble gum and launch rockets, but you are all out of bubble gum.

L95[12:04:10] <Eddi|zuHause> ... anyway, KSP is probably not a useful tool for planning such a mission, because for a fuel-efficient approach to the moon you need lagrange points

L96[12:08:01] <XXCoder> ;outcome add Your craft fuel lines connections is sealed by chewed bubblegum.

L97[12:08:01] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Your craft fuel lines connections is sealed by chewed bubblegum.

L98[12:13:53] <darsie> Your craft's fuel line connections are sealed by chewed bubblegum?

L99[12:14:14] <XXCoder> yep. likely failed to launch due to it lol

L100[12:14:33] <darsie> I offered a correction.

L101[12:15:13] <XXCoder> craft's os incorrect grammar. it means "craft is"

L102[12:15:33] <darsie> I thought so, too, once.

L103[12:17:29] <darsie> ChatGPT: "My bag's handle broke" is the correct sentence if you are referring to a single bag and indicating that the handle belonging to that specific bag broke. Here, "bag's" is a possessive form, indicating that the handle belongs to the bag.

L104[12:17:29] <darsie> "My bags handle broke" would be the correct sentence if you are referring to multiple bags and indicating that the handle of one or more of your bags broke. In this case, "bags" is plural, and "handle" is used in a collective sense, referring to the handles of the bags as a group.

L106[12:28:49] <Eddi|zuHause> "Your craft fuel lines" means "craft" and "fuel" is a property of "lines"

L107[12:29:36] <Eddi|zuHause> as in, your lines have been crafted to transport fuel

L108[12:31:35] <Eddi|zuHause> grammatically, "craft" is an adverb there

L109[12:32:01] <Althego> i would go with the 's

L110[12:34:33] <Eddi|zuHause> !outcome fixup s/craft/craft's/

L111[12:34:33] <LunchBot> New text is: Your craft's fuel lines connections is sealed by chewed bubblegum.

L112[12:34:52] <Eddi|zuHause> !outcome fixup s/lines/lines'/

L113[12:34:52] <LunchBot> New text is: Your craft's fuel lines' connections is sealed by chewed bubblegum.

L114[12:35:04] <darsie> are

L115[12:35:08] <Eddi|zuHause> !outcome fixup s/is/are/

L116[12:35:08] <LunchBot> New text is: Your craft's fuel lines' connections are sealed by chewed bubblegum.

L117[12:35:18] <Eddi|zuHause> i was just on that :)

L118[12:35:25] <darsie> :)

L119[12:35:47] <Eddi|zuHause> at least there wasn't a "You're" :p

L120[12:36:34] <darsie> :)

L121[12:36:46] <darsie> We could have put that :).

L122[12:37:10] <Eddi|zuHause> you could, but then i'd have to shoot you :p

L123[12:37:33] <darsie> I shot Ceres again.

L124[12:37:52] <Eddi|zuHause> they probably deserved it...

L125[12:38:32] <darsie> https://0x0.st/HTHy.JPG https://0x0.st/HTct.JPG

L126[12:39:38] <Eddi|zuHause> different kind of shoot :)

L127[12:39:43] <darsie> :)

L128[12:40:18] <Eddi|zuHause> how can a language this ambiguous ever become the lingua franca?

L129[12:40:58] <darsie> Did you see the stars move?

L130[12:41:28] <Eddi|zuHause> like, on the red carpet?

L131[12:42:26] <darsie> On the black carpet.

L132[12:42:52] <Eddi|zuHause> could also be the name of a chess move, or a dance move

L135[13:18:45] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission add Instead of a lander can, you put a soda can on the Mun.

L136[13:18:45] <LunchBot> Added mission: Instead of a lander can, you put a soda can on the Mun.

L137[13:19:16] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L138[13:19:17] <LunchBot> You activate the engines on full thrust while still docked to the station. You accidentally call Tylo "Typo" at the pre-mission press conference.

L139[13:19:39] <Eddi|zuHause> that happens to me rather often :p

L140[13:21:09] <darsie> .outcome add You split Tom.

L141[13:21:09] <LunchBot> Added outcome: You split Tom.

L142[13:21:24] <Althego> hehe

L143[13:21:29] <Althego> poor tome :)

L144[13:21:30] <darsie> :)

L145[13:21:31] <Althego> -e

L146[13:32:05] <packbart> splitting Tim might be worse

L147[13:43:33] <Eddi|zuHause> Tim Bear?

L150[13:49:54] <packbart> might be. KSP2 got a Tim in the initial lineup

L151[13:57:36] <Eddi|zuHause> i probably won't get that in quite a while

L152[14:06:48] <packbart> well, there seems to be progress in development. I only started it once or twice, myself

L153[14:07:29] <packbart> the proposed complete replacement of the terrain system is still not around, though
