but why use the heavy for a rideshare mission
david is now known as Zephros
<Zephros>
can't wait for that launch. The last launch was awesome. Lets hope this launch doesn't fail.
<Althego>
too bad they lost the core
<Althego>
because of waves lol

<flayer>
althego: people getting a cheap ride?
<flayer>
for what is essentially a test flight?
<flayer>
or publicity?
<Althego>
must be that
<Mat2ch>
and mainly this: The mission will support the U.S. Air Force National Security Space Launch (formerly EELV) certification process for the Falcon Heavy
<Mat2ch>
Launching a test payload didn't cut it somehow
<flayer>
oh wow, they're re-using the boosters from the previous flight?
<flayer>
that's a pretty quick launch-check-relaunch relatively speaking isn't it?
<Althego>
that is the whole idea behind the falcon 9
<flayer>
yeah, but it's looking like progress
<Althego>
currently they could probably relaunch within days
<Althego>
every time with the falcon heavy when the separation happens i think they smash into the core and explode ksp style :)

is there an air speed tolerance limit for kerbals (other than heating)?
<Black_Eagle>
i.e. if i make a really fast rover will the kerbals get krakenated
<Althego>
i didnt notice anything aside from them falling off
<Black_Eagle>
what speed is that?
<Althego>
probably dynamic opressure, not speed
<Black_Eagle>
sounds like practical testing time
<Althego>
well below speed of sound at sea level, but probably not applicable for command seats, sincs they are not controllable at that point
<Althego>
but they do fall off from laddes and cocpits when they hang on them
<Black_Eagle>
100 m/s sound like a doable number on a command seat?
<Althego>
probably way more
<Black_Eagle>
good
<Althego>
that is racing car speed. not that you cant do several times of the speed of sound on the ice fields
<Black_Eagle>
i want to do a model of a car and the spec sheet says 200mph to 300mph on land. i'd say that's about 100m/s since the rover wheels i will be using will break after that
<Althego>
a bit more
<Black_Eagle>
TR-2L says 100m/s for tolerance
<Black_Eagle>
or does that mean impact tolerance? idk, idc
<Black_Eagle>
should be ok, might delete later
<Althego>
but they cant spin that fast
<Althego>
on their own
<Althego>
you need some jet powe
<Althego>
r
<Black_Eagle>
yes. that will be a problem unless i somehow cram a juno in there somewhere
<Althego>
kerbals are fine at 200 m/s in their seats :)
<Althego>
haha no man's sky is 50% off and still 30 eur

i probably wouldn't even buy it at 75% off
<Althego>
that was my point, it has way too high price
<Althego>
but toonstruck for free should be good
<Eddi|zuHause>
i've got exactly two responses from telling people about that... "i don't have a gog account" and "i just take the CD that i have and use that"
<Althego>
i am the reverse, i dont have a steam account
<Althego>
but gog is almost as good as a cd, you can own the games there
<Eddi|zuHause>
i have an old gog account that i can't access anymore due to 2-factor auth
<Eddi|zuHause>
cause that email doesn't work anymore
<Althego>
strange, i had this one for many years and i dont have any issues
<Althego>
i own my email account too :)
<Althego>
yes, i apy for it
<Eddi|zuHause>
it was my old university account
<Eddi|zuHause>
and they shut that old server down a while back

this rumored 1903 update doesnt seem to get to me

(windows)
<Eddi|zuHause>
the last time i tried installing windows 10, it just plain told me "nope, i don't run on this computer"
<Eddi|zuHause>
after like 2 hours of installing
<Althego>
hehehe
<Eddi|zuHause>
i couldn't actually figure out why...
<sandbox>
that's about the level of their error messages now
<Althego>
but hey added a smiley face to the bsod
<sandbox>
"nope, i don't run on this computer :("
<sandbox>
typed that before you said
<Althego>
wait, it was literally that much it said?

When I optimize a future maneuver from LKO to solar orbit and try to maximize apoapsis by adjusting departure time, these back and forth changes decrease apoapsis a little. It's significant if you have a close encounter, e.g. with Duna.
JVFoxy has joined #KSPOfficial
<darsie>
Changing stuff back and forth gives in a one way result change both directions.
<Althego>
i have a 20 minute gap in nodes and i cant come up with anything to do there, so i am stuck
<darsie>
Do the time warp?
<Althego>
then i lose 20 minutes
<darsie>
Of productivity?
<darsie>
Take a nap.
<Althego>
probably going to switch between 2 crafts to see if i can catch a biome in high altitude with th gravity thing
<JVFoxy>
got relay in orbit of mun.. hoping to use it to cover backside of mun for another craft but not sure on timing it right
<darsie>
JVFoxy: You can get the time from a maneuver node set n orbits into the future.
<darsie>
Doing a little orbital change now will accumulate a large time/location change for the future node.
<JVFoxy>
darsie: going to see what its like when I launch at day break.. mostly cuz of light for recording for later.
<JVFoxy>
but ya.. suppose I could set target, see what happens.

Strange question: Does anyone know if any parts of the old "Algol 68" programming language is used in or referenced in KSP?
<Ezriilc>
Possibly in Unity?
<Althego>
use grep?
<Ezriilc>
I don't actually know how I would do that, and I'm on a Winderz box.
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
doesnt seem to be in the text
<Ezriilc>
I'm trying to use an encounter with what appears to be an edje case of a KSP save file in "text/Algol68" mime format.
<Ezriilc>
I'm trying to use it as a teaching moment and learn from it.
<Eddi|zuHause>
algol 68 is like the grandfather of 95% of all modern programming languages
<JVFoxy>
ooof... look'n up Algol 68 took me to ICL and picture of data storage system. Imagine retro space, launching with computers that use data storage in drums
<JVFoxy>
or massive flat cylinder type things.. think some rockets actually used drum storage for data and stuff back in the early days
<Eddi|zuHause>
the first rocket computers used ROM-storage that was weaved by hand
<Althego>
rope memory, has seen use in the apollo program too

ASC-15 used drum memory but was more for Titan rockets and Saturn I

Mind you, Shuttle used core memory for engine control, then switched off it at some point in the middle of the program.
<JVFoxy>
at least from what I remember, trying to find the article, think was when I was researching info on shuttle computer systems. Any case, haven't time to do more a search, gotta run

random piece of debris unexpectedly crashed into the Mun, generated some 300 science points. that's nice
