L14[05:13:35] <packbart> I usually set ~10m/s as the turn start speed and a "40%" curve

L15[05:14:33] <packbart> then vary it a bit per vessel, e.g. with an anemic upper stage it pays off to stay vertical for longer, so separation happens higher up

L16[05:38:36] <darsie> I turn at 30-100 m/s by 10-20 deg. The higher the number the more accurately I can reproduce it.

L17[05:39:43] <Deddly> !mission

L18[05:39:43] <LunchBot> You make the Ion Thruster consume LiquidFuel. Contract successfully completed.

L19[05:39:59] <Deddly> \o/

L20[05:40:27] <darsie> :)

L21[05:41:11] <xxcoder> fancy

L34[11:31:55] <Mat2ch> til: It's not enough to bring a Kerbal back from the surface of a planet, you have to bring a whole ship back.

L35[11:33:05] <darsie> Does the contract say so?

L36[11:37:01] <darsie> 1337

L37[11:43:45] <Mat2ch> yes

L38[11:44:05] <Mat2ch> Vessel. Kerbal is not enough. But doesn't matter, I have a solution for this :D

L39[11:45:18] <darsie> I wonder which part you have to recover.

L40[11:46:15] <darsie> I guess a control part (capsule, computer).

L41[11:56:19] <packbart> ah, yeah, I still have to do that for a mission, too. the crew returned in the back-up capsule

L42[11:56:54] <packbart> I sent an empty ship ahead because I wasn't sure if the lander would have enough fuel left to return to Kerbin

L43[11:57:00] <packbart> turns out it didn't :)

L48[13:49:41] <Mat2ch> darsie: luckily I have a capsule I can dock to the refiller which is floating around Vall

L49[13:57:53] <sandbox> !mission

L50[13:57:54] <LunchBot> After an eventful day with a mop and bucket; you hastily scribble "The Nausasseum" on the door to the high-G training room. Icefire is amazed at how much you (ab)use a joke feature of his bot.

L52[14:05:51] <darsie> You can't fullfill a rendezvous/dock contract by splitting and docking a craft. Does it count if you join two from two separate launches.in KEO and then fly to the destination and split them?

L53[14:07:07] <Mat2ch> It only has to have different launch IDs afair

L59[16:21:09] <Mat2ch> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=998_yVr6mKI What is going on in this world? Another bridge video?!

L60[16:22:55] <Mat2ch> and why are so many idi, eh, people driving over that stuff?

L61[16:24:53] <sandbox> it's a miracle

L62[16:26:57] <Mat2ch> But were you moved by it?

L63[16:37:32] <Althego> at least one guy got out and cleared the debris

L64[16:37:40] <Althego> the one who caused it should have done so

L65[16:40:39] <sandbox> I hope it didn't damage anyone's car

L66[16:44:14] <Mat2ch> if it did they could've stopped and cleaned up before

L67[16:47:02] <sandbox> !mission

L68[16:47:02] <LunchBot> Your campaign to incorporate more 'atomic' things into your space program meets with triumphal success; whole fleets are commissioned, and you get to pilot the first production vehicle. You're definitely going to die up there - if you have to listen to any more godawful disco music.

L83[18:09:36] <Deddly> !mission

L84[18:09:36] <LunchBot> You design and build a complete space program using nothing but cans of Spam. You set a new record for maximizing Δv use.

L85[18:11:22] <raptop> Something happened alright

L86[18:14:37] <xxcoder> can the spam power lol

L87[18:14:59] <xxcoder> ;mission

L88[18:14:59] <LunchBot> Through a complex sequence of gravity assists, you achieve a high negative speed and go back in time. While endlessly and fruitlessly arguing about measurement units, you actually get nowhere.

L89[18:15:17] <xxcoder> I did it, but they wont belive

L90[18:15:39] <raptop> That feels like a single coherent mission or outcome but not a pair o_O

L91[18:16:20] <Althego> our position reads exactly what it was before this sleigh ride began

L92[18:16:37] <Althego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzlmQLbr1Y4

L94[18:19:16] <raptop> heh

L95[18:20:20] <Althego> i cant stop laughing at the headbanging

L99[18:54:04] <xxcoder> https://www.space.com/astronauts-3d-print-first-metal-part-on-iss

L100[18:54:06] <xxcoder> cool!

L101[18:56:04] <xxcoder> Althego: lol on video

L103[19:14:19] <sandbox> !mission

L104[19:14:19] <LunchBot> You try to publish a paper about how pigs are actually plants. The garbage collector deletes your rocket.

L105[19:15:01] <Althego> the paper was on the rocket

L106[19:15:04] <Althego> and it was garbage
