L9[02:15:07] <sandbox> !mission

L10[02:15:07] <LunchBot> You build an infiniglider. Jeb flies past you, his suit glued onto a Vernor engine.

L16[04:41:44] <Mat2ch> Chandrayaan-3 Mission Soft-landing LIVE Telecast

L17[04:42:18] <Mat2ch> Starts in around 7 minutes

L18[04:50:44] <Mat2ch> Stream has started.

L19[04:50:45] <sandbox> daleks

L20[04:50:59] <Mat2ch> !mission

L21[04:50:59] <LunchBot> You engage in undefined behavior. The Ultramarines touchdown.

L24[05:23:23] <KrazyKrl> ;outcome add On the bright side, a corpse cannot be punished.

L25[05:23:23] <LunchBot> Added outcome: On the bright side, a corpse cannot be punished.

L26[05:23:35] <Mat2ch> You have no idea.

L27[05:33:10] <sandbox> success?

L28[05:33:43] <Mat2ch> Looks like it

L29[06:04:58] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L30[06:04:58] <LunchBot> Someone new asks the IRC about vague field. What is this? A space taxi for ants?

L31[06:12:08] <Mat2ch> Nobody knows.

L32[06:34:59] <dnsmcbr> !stupid FLHerne

L33[06:34:59] <LunchBot> <orbfrg> Only me and FLHerne went fully conic as far as I'm aware.

L36[07:08:13] <cringe> so the indian moon rover landed and the russian one crashed, right?

L37[07:11:05] <darsie> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLA_64yz8Ss&t=1079s Was the Moon created by an algorithm?

L38[07:13:47] <Izzy> so I got my constant altitude burn descent script working finally

L39[07:15:11] <Izzy> but when I reached the ground I found ... whatever this is https://shadowkat.net/tmp/0e3d.jpg https://shadowkat.net/tmp/e0a5.jpg

L40[07:16:27] <Izzy> still doing something wrong with the script, though; towards the end the craft gains altitude...

L41[07:16:42] <Izzy> ended up just halving the angle and it's minimal with that lander, but...

L44[07:48:47] <darsie> cringe: yes

L45[07:50:13] <cringe> roger that

L46[07:51:11] <Eddi|zuHause> darsie: isn't everything in the universe an algorithm? i mean, orbits follow these mathematical rules...

L47[07:51:46] <cringe> *boom*

L48[07:51:58] <Eddi|zuHause> darsie: that's we find things like fibonnacci numbers everywhere. they're created by common growth algorithms

L51[08:06:33] <darsie> Heat shield was probably not needed.

L52[08:06:59] <darsie> As I braked from flyby to high orbit.

L53[08:11:32] <darsie> Calculating the orbital period for the rescue rocket highly elliptical orbit for an encounter with Jeb after 2 orbits.

L54[08:11:32] <darsie> bernhard@b:~/src/ksp$ ./converttime 79 2 10 0

L60[08:11:34] <darsie> 0y 19d 05:02:30

L62[08:18:56] <Eddi|zuHause> isn't the ingame maneuver tool enough for that?

L63[08:19:51] <Eddi|zuHause> plan a maneuver at PE, eyball it, then plan another maneuver at AP 2 orbits in?

L66[09:22:33] <darsie> Eddi|zuHause: Yes, in principle. But when you make one maneuver at Pe and a 0 m/s one at the next Pe for monitoring, then when you modify the first maneuver, the monitoring maneuver is no longer at Pe, so you have to move it. That's annoying/tedious. I'd love to have maneuvers fixed to a phase n orbits later for that.

L67[09:30:42] <Eddi|zuHause> yes. that's why i said AP, it gives more leeway for movement, all you want is the encounter markers at the correct orbit...

L76[13:13:37] <raptop> meanwhile on Mars: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Mars_Express/Landslides_at_the_foot_of_Olympus_Mons

L78[13:20:18] <Mat2ch> But Mars is currently not so interesting as other things that are happening ;)

L79[13:20:20] <Mat2ch> !mission

L80[13:20:20] <LunchBot> You begin stockpiling blood drives in a blood shed. You are praised for your ingenuity and promoted.

L81[13:20:29] <Mat2ch> Hah!

L82[13:21:27] <raptop> congratulations!

L84[13:23:27] <Mat2ch> What have I been promoted to though?

L85[13:24:35] <raptop> blood god?

L86[13:36:47] <Mat2ch> Do I have followers?

L87[13:41:07] <raptop> probably

L88[13:41:54] <Mat2ch> Will they bring me other offerings than blood?

L89[13:45:18] <Eddi|zuHause> severed limbs, heads, etc?

L90[13:45:46] <Eddi|zuHause> what colour is kerbal blood?

L91[13:46:26] <Eddi|zuHause> assuming the green is chlorophyll, that's probably not in the blood.

L92[13:48:51] <Mat2ch> Then it's probably transparent.

L93[13:48:55] <Mat2ch> And I thought about food and money

L99[15:12:55] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L100[15:12:55] <LunchBot> You program a space telescope in javascript. Sorry, kids. Daddy was pontificating.

L101[15:14:06] <Eddi|zuHause> that's probably a fitting description for a javascript program :p

L107[16:34:10] <raptop> The missing intermediate steps in this case are just a bunch of rants about javascript

L108[16:34:23] <raptop> (And, yes, JWST really does use it)

L113[17:24:39] <XXCoder> ;outcome add Failed, but hey in least you have something to publish about!

L114[17:24:39] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Failed, but hey in least you have something to publish about!

L115[17:29:17] <raptop> !outcome impact factor

L116[17:29:17] <LunchBot> Your confusion of impact factor with impact parameter results in the destruction of several Elsevier and Springer offices.

L117[17:29:37] <raptop> (this is, perhaps surprisingly to those outside of academia, a good outcome)

L132[22:02:41] <Izzy> FSR is v impressive, in most scenes I can't even tell the game is running at 2/3 res

L136[23:30:25] <Mat2ch> raptop: really? JavaScript on a space telescope?!

L137[23:40:12] <raptop> Yes (I'm pretty sure that the really critical bits run something else. Also, it's a somewhat bespoke variant that by definition avoids a bunch of flaws that plague that broader javascript ecosystem)
