L49[13:20:22] <LunchBot> You aim a green laser pointer at a reentering spaceplane. Your rocket is in such small pieces, that the only option is infinite element analysis.

L50[13:20:46] <Deddly> Laser slightly too powerful?

L51[13:20:57] <Mat2ch> a bit maybe

L55[13:59:40] <darsie> https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com is slow

L60[14:14:46] <LunchBot> You spend hours trying to think of a single KSP feat that hasn't already been done. Your punctuation pops your weather balloon.

L88[17:48:59] <LunchBot> You attempt to turn off your SRBs. Your friendship drive overheats and everyone hates you.

L89[17:49:23] <xxcoder1> aww. in least friendship drive didnt go poof

L90[17:49:31] <Benjamin> Ha!

L95[18:35:17] <darsie> You can turn off SRBs by poofing them.

L96[18:38:52] <darsie> It is physically possible in real life. The Minuteman missile is all solid fueled, and accomplishes precision Dv control. I've heard it speculated (by those of us on this side of a top secret clearance) that this is accomplished with shape charges that disrupt the exhaust nozzle or by creating additional vents for the exhaust gases.

L100[19:36:12] <Pinkbeast> The bit later about just flooding the combustion chamber with argon is glorious, in a not-even-wrong way

L101[19:45:14] <packbart> if it can generate enough backpressure? I wouldn't think an SRB would be impressed by Argon in its way

L108[20:57:09] <LunchBot> Inspired by the spinny disk thing used in reaction wheels and turbopumps, Wernher invents the "translation wheel". It's an ingenious device to travel on the surface without exploding so often! That turned out pretty well, considering.

L111[20:57:53] <Benjamin> I've never piloted a wheeled vehickle in KSP that I did not smash to pieces.

L116[21:01:28] <Benjamin> Am I the only ine who has to try to connect many many times, before it actually does?

L117[21:08:57] <darsie> huh?

L118[21:09:10] <darsie> to IRC?

L119[21:09:32] <darsie> Works pretty well for me.

L120[21:09:40] <darsie> Benjamin:

L121[21:11:32] <Benjamin> Yes, to IRC

L122[21:12:25] <Benjamin> I have to confirm my config settings mutiplte times, before it stops telling me "No ident response".

L123[21:12:48] <darsie> "No ident response" is normal and typically not an idssue.

L124[21:13:01] <darsie> just ignore it.

L125[21:13:42] <Benjamin> Would that I could, except I can't connect until it "goes through".

L126[21:14:07] <Benjamin> No big deal though. I always get on after enough attempts. I was just wondering if I was the only one.
