L2[00:07:28] <raptop> nshire: but does it involve a payload launched from a Vulcan or something?

L6[02:15:48] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L7[02:15:49] <LunchBot> Only in silence the word, only in dark the light... The resulting spacecraft fleet uses far too much gravity at once, tripping the planetary breaker. At least you can reset it yourself -- if you overloaded the main solar fuse it would need a tech callout from the gravity company.

L8[02:28:42] <XXCoder> fun

L10[02:52:35] <nshire> successfully took shots of the vandenberg launch

L11[02:55:34] <nshire> should have shot more than 1frame/5sec tho

L22[08:05:32] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L23[08:05:32] <LunchBot> You try your newly discovered "flubber" as a different form of lithobraking. You look over your shoulder for moderators.

L24[08:05:52] <Eddi|zuHause> qay

L25[08:06:20] <Eddi|zuHause> uhm.. i dropped my keyboard

L32[11:24:19] <sandbox> !mission

L33[11:24:19] <LunchBot> You set your hammer to panic mode. Space is dark, and space is deep, and the price you've paid is far too steep.

L34[11:42:38] <Azander> !mission

L35[11:42:38] <LunchBot> You search the cosmos for answers to all of your questions. Eve is so darn purple.

L36[11:58:35] <FLHerne> it is!

L37[12:00:57] <Mat2ch> hehe

L38[12:08:20] <sandbox> that was never in question

L41[13:10:48] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L42[13:10:48] <LunchBot> You murder a microwave for its magnetron and install it in your rocket. Let the die be cast!

L43[13:27:39] <packbart> using a magnetron to melt iron?

L44[13:35:46] <Eddi|zuHause> who said it's being cast from iron?

L46[14:47:28] <darsie> What is this about? https://0x0.st/XrQQ.png

L47[14:48:09] <darsie> "Launching Kerbal Space Program 2, Processing Vulkan shaders (100%), Skip, Cancel"

L48[14:49:02] <darsie> Should I skip, cancel or not?

L49[14:53:23] <packbart> sounds shady

L50[15:19:07] <Mat2ch> you can skip

L51[15:19:36] <Mat2ch> steam precompiles the shaders so it doesn't happen while you are playing

L52[15:20:23] <Mat2ch> and it even uploads those compiled shaders so others with the same gpu can just download them

L53[15:20:33] <sandbox> what is Vulkan anyway?

L54[15:30:02] <packbart> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan "a low-level low-overhead, cross-platform API and open standard for 3D graphics and computing"

L55[15:30:34] <packbart> a cross-platform DirectX ;)

L57[15:48:33] <sandbox> I always think it's silly when an RAF plane uses the call sign APOLLO11

L58[15:56:12] <Mat2ch> hehe

L59[15:58:44] <Mat2ch> packbart: Competetor to DX12, which was hastily thrown together after Microsoft found out about Vulkan...

L60[16:02:06] <packbart> well, over here there's just a boring NATO02 listener drawing circles over the exercise grounds https://www.flightradar24.com/NATO02/346c8a72

L61[16:02:33] <packbart> sometimes SHELL and ESSO refuel flights over the north sea

L67[18:53:49] <KrazyKrl> precompiling GPU shaders is great, because it prevents silly things like game hitches.

L70[19:17:43] <darsie> Mission was to land a 200 t rocket on Minmus. I eyeballed it and it ended up 190 t.

L71[19:33:47] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L72[19:33:47] <LunchBot> Bob trips the main circuit breaker while running both capsule's rotisseries simultaneously, violating established mealtime procedures. Your mission is foiled by nefarious porpoises.

L73[19:34:24] <Eddi|zuHause> maybe that's where the magnetron went?

L84[22:33:13] <FLHerne> hah

L85[22:33:41] <sandbox> !mission

L86[22:33:44] <FLHerne> A couple of days ago, some WRGies were telling me about that time they tripped the main breaker for an entire youth hostel

L87[22:33:52] <FLHerne> four kettles and a slow cooker

L88[22:36:03] <raptop> WRGies?

L89[22:43:36] <darsie> According to the rocket equation this rocket should have 206 t: https://0x0.st/Xr2c.png

L90[22:54:19] <raptop> pic has overall Δv and propellant mass, though I don't know the Isp of hte engines

L91[22:54:39] <raptop> There are still some bugs with the Δv calc in KSP2, though

L93[23:06:29] <darsie> Yeah, it was fluctuating.

L94[23:07:32] <raptop> hrm

L96[23:12:38] <darsie> That's a Tuba: https://0x0.st/Xr2p.png#tuba It has a skirt extension that's applied upon staging.

L97[23:12:42] <darsie> 385 s

L98[23:46:04] <darsie> Should have brought a RW on my Eeloo rover.

L102[23:57:41] <packbart> "Hypnosis can be used to give yourself suggestions regarding how to change your attitude."

L103[23:58:03] <packbart> Hypnosis is better than reaction wheel, maybe
