<darsie> This is so annoying ... I'm trying to find an encounter a few orbits in the future and 1.8.1 flips between various orbits ahead instead of just the one I set :(.
<darsie> And in the Minmus local view the encounter trajectory flips on and off if I change dv.

<darsie> There, Ap and dummy maneuver 1 h apart, encounter 16 days later: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot102.png
<Flayer> thar she is, minmus
<Flayer> i got roughly 3000 dv to explore her
<darsie> That's a lot. Orbit is ~150 m/s.

<Flayer> well, i've gotten to the point where i can lift off in a 'helicopter'
<Flayer> i can do small hops... sometimes.
<Althego> that is exactly what jpl can do... on mars
<darsie> :)
<darsie> In theory :).
<darsie> Or shall I say hypothetically?
<Althego> we shall see... in 2021

<GlassYuri> packbart, that looks somewhat ...unsettling
<GlassYuri> also why are there trees on the water
iamfishhead has quit [Ping timeout: 190 seconds]
<darsie> Hmm, I could make a Duna helicopter ...
<Althego> it is hard to even make a duna plane
<Althego> believe me, i tried
<darsie> I made a Duna lander glider.
<Althego> needed many props to have enough thrust go generate enough lift on a huge wing
<Althego> but that is for gliding
<darsie> mhm
<darsie> Issue was getting landing speed low enough to not break up. I settled for landing uphill.
<Althego> drogue chutes
<Althego> or rather biggest chute you can find, they stop you isntantly
<darsie> Ok, but then I could just use a chute without a glider.
<Althego> that decreases your landing precision
<darsie> 1
<Althego> also landing purely on chutes on dna is not efficient
<darsie> Yeah, needs a landing burn.

<darsie> Hmm, I should be able to test a Duna helicopter in Kerbin's high atmosphere.
<darsie> Hmm, different gravity.
<Althego> drcrease mass
Shoe has joined #KSPOfficial
<darsie> My helicopter levelled out at 486.8 Pa, so it would definitely fly on Duna (6755 Pa). http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot106.png
<darsie> Unfortunately it doesn't fly stably when tilted.
<Flayer> hmm i have 37 science reports after transmitting
<Flayer> i could do one more run to the surface, but i'm not sure i'll have enough to bring the lander back to the mun station
<darsie> Minmus?
<Flayer> yes
<darsie> Why bring it back?
<Flayer> its part of the mission
<darsie> Contract?
<Althego> A contract is a contract is a contract (but only between Ferengi).
<darsie> I only ever saw contracts to bring someone/something back to Kerbin.
<darsie> What's the reason for bringing it to Mun?
<Flayer> to do more mun landings
<darsie> hmm
<darsie> Why?
<darsie> For fun?
<Flayer> sure
<darsie> k
<darsie> So not to increase XP of crew, or for science.
<Flayer> also that
<darsie> ok
<darsie> You can jetpack from Minmus to LKO.

<darsie> With careful aerobraking.
<darsie> And taking science stored in a capsule, I think.
<darsie> Is there roll trim?
<Althego> in all directions
<darsie> Didn't work for me. Had to stick E.
<Althego> mod + direction. mod + x to turn off all trim
<darsie> mhm
<Althego> direction as in wasdqe
<darsie> gotta try again
<Althego> it moves rather slowly
<Althego> so you hve to hold it for awxonds
<Althego> seconds
<Althego> wait, it is wednesday. wintergatan
<Althego> there is something
<darsie> It's Wednesday in Austria.
<darsie> Maybe not in Japan.
<Althego> just what is an ondophone
<darsie> dunno
<darsie> duck it
<Althego> well it is in the video
<darsie> In both the United States and France this led to a small market of receiver lines designed geared for jewelers who needed accurate time to set their clocks, including the Ondophone in France,[6] and the De Forest RS-100 Jewelers Time Receiver in the United States[7] The ability to pick up time signal broadcasts, in addition to Morse code weather reports and news summaries, also attracted the interest of amateur radio enthusiasts.
<Flayer> i can't eva home afaik because i can only carry one snack
<darsie> Oh, you need to eat :).
<Althego> so he mixed two obscure instruments, and called it like this
<Althego> since he is building this instrumen now, it does not have a wiki page
