is the 'Dessert launch site' intentionally spelled that way
<Althego>
i never even noticed it was spelled dessert until somebody mentioned it here
<Gasher[work]>
Duna, the dessert planet.

<GlassYuri>
do kerbals eat sand
<Althego>
dont eat sand, especially if it is filled with perchlorates
<packbart>
don't eat the yellow sand
<GlassYuri>
Althego, it is a safer alternative to eating shards of glass
<GlassYuri>
...for someone who has the word in their username, I am somehow overly unsure about the correct spelling of 'glass'
<Gasher[work]>
glaz
<Althego>
sand can be yellow on its own. but dont eat the yellow snow
<GlassYuri>
why is it so hard to tell which site is the closest to your location
<GlassYuri>
there's no way to tell from the markers while you are not moving and the map view doesn't let you zoom in enough
<Guest15735>
jusr randomly choose one
<Guest15735>

didn't bother with Kerbin landing sites so far
<packbart>
I can barely guide a lander down next to a site on the Mun but not with an atmosphere in between
<GlassYuri>
also, it's ridiculous that the game doesn't give you the parts to build a normal ground vehicle until you hit the 300 point research options
<packbart>
rockets before ladders ;)
<GlassYuri>
do any of the lv1 buildings have ladders?
<Gasher[work]>
it should give you only ic engine and a few square wing panels in the beginning :)

Yup, 1.8 is out now, and there are a few bugs

Is it something like missing keypresses, or does it not work at all some launches, orโฆ?

Also, pics?

i caused the failure
<Buster>
UmbralRaptop why pics

it's a simple duna rocket i just need to test every thing before launching

new SSD, same old laptop. at least I upgraded from "trusty" to "bionic" and can use Mono 6 to compile KSP mods. Yay

packbart did. you. go. land. on. jool.?
<packbart>
now for all the little things one customises in the desktop settings. desktop cube rotation speed, terminal font, ...
<packbart>
Buster: I haven't landed anywhere beyond Duna yet
<Buster>
ok me niether
* UmbralRaptop
is still unsure as to what Buster means with the abort system not working. Does it not respond at all? Does repeatedly hitting the abort action group work? Does it do some commands and not others some of the time? Is the rocket in a largely unsalvageable situation?
<Buster>
i can't send a pic
<UmbralRaptop>
packbart: yay, bionic beaver
<UmbralRaptop>
Buster: upload to imgur or whatever and post the link?
<Buster>
oh
<Buster>
i don't have an imgur account

I tried landing on Jool, but the pressure was too high.

Can I have balloons, please? To make rockoons.
<UmbralRaptop>
What is that below the command pod, and at what altitude is the abort test going on? (I've had some parachutes deploy insufficiently to save the crew at very low altitudes)
<Buster>
a service bay, the new one from KSP 1.8!
<UmbralRaptop>
ah
<UmbralRaptop>
Okay, it should be decently rugged?
<Buster>
i guess the altitude was 32108?

Plenty high enough

had a command seat in the bay

Buster: How old are you?
<Buster>
i'd prefer not to say
<darsie>
k
<UmbralRaptop>
But like, I still don't know what the failure point is. I assume that if the parachute is already partially deployed, I assume it's from a success
<Buster>
UmbralRaptop yep
<UmbralRaptop>
Okay. So you're at ~32 km, hit the abort button, and sometimes nothing happens?
<Buster>
something always happens
<Buster>
my altitude and inclination caused the crash

I mean, I'm assuming at this point that the abort failures are literally loss of control and crashing before you reach the parameters where you're testing the abort system?
<Buster>
UmbralRaptop yes
<UmbralRaptop>
Just stick some control surfaces on the bottom, and call it an acceptable risk

<Mat2ch>
Fluburtur: uh, which maker fair? Paris? And where will you be?
<darsie>
Uranus would be made of ...

Mars would be war, Phobos fear.
