Hmm, Minmus to LMO is 180 m/s, so jetpacking to the other side and back may be >600 m/s.

what do you use them for?
<Black_Eagle>
i use them for shuttling between my kerbin orbital station and kerbin
<Black_Eagle>
super cheap and efficient
<hatrix>
why do you need to do that though?
<Black_Eagle>
kerbals, refuel
<hatrix>
if there were contracts to send scientists in the station yeah sure
<Black_Eagle>
don't use them then
<Black_Eagle>
also i think it's fun to design and fly them
<hatrix>
maybe I just need to try then :)

that's a perfectly good reason to me

It's quiet satisfying to fly something into space.
<Mat2ch>
To build something that works on such close margins

:D

Reduce the spring tension
<Althego>
isnt there a dampening value too?
<Althego>
a correct gear should contain a spring and a shock dampener
<Althego>
the two are not exchangeable

tries to rescue a Kerbal by waking him up with a flyby with the Duna relay, jetpacking to Kerbin flyby, and capturing him.

ok, got a little over 4000 m/s dV in orbit now
<Black_Eagle>
that should be enough for a landing on Mun
<hatrix>
that's more than enough to go almost everywhere :p
<packbart>
yeah, I calculate about 3k for it. 900 for the transfer burn, 300 for circularizing at the Mun. 800 to land, 600 to ascend, 300 to get back to a return orbit into Kerbin's atmosphere

Could do a little biome hopping. Perhaps you can find a triple border with skynet.

umm ... Kerbnet.

592 m/s from LDO to Kerbin encounter.
<hatrix>
I always forget duna is so close
<Althego>
so close. it just takes months to get there :)
<hatrix>
what's usually the next step after Eve? I'll do some science missions on Gilly but that's quite easy to land and get back
<Mat2ch>
Jool...
<packbart>
Dres ;)
<Althego>
you could go to dres, but nobody ever goes there :)
<kmath>
YouTube - Kerbal Space Program - Why You Never Visit Dres
<packbart>
Dres got new textures
<hatrix>
I'm still in 1.8
<Althego>
just as most planets now
<hatrix>
but I'll be reinstalling my OS tonight, maybe I'll update KSP
<Althego>
hehe the sad face of the kerbal on eve :)
* darsie
downgraded to 1.7.3.
<hatrix>
I'll make a fucking base on Dres
<hatrix>
this rock is going to be happy to have some visitors

typo

hehe

A pleasure base.
<hatrix>
ok so Kerbin -> Dres -> Kerbin would need some refueling somewhere
<Althego>
hehe martin and the marble beats
<hatrix>
unless nuclear engines
<hatrix>
I'm look at a 10k Δv though
bildramer has joined #KSPOfficial
<Mat2ch>
Just build a huge ships with multiple types of engines, so you can land the whole thing on Dres. :D
<Mat2ch>
and be efficient as well

you need a V-Chip

oh, I didn't even know there was a real-world version. "In the real world, a V-chip refers to any technology which is installed in a television set that allows parents to monitor and censor programs based on their rating."

The QI guy says that the newest reactionless drives produces thrust and in range he calculated... hrm. I'd like to see this as a paper
<Mat2ch>
lol
<Mat2ch>
just after the name dropped the stream lost 1000 viewers. :D
<UmbralRaptop>
if it gets posted to vixra…
<Mat2ch>
well, it's not him this time writing the paper, but some people with a bit more reputation.
<Mat2ch>
and the more interesting part is, if it's true, what it would tell about our universe. And maybe about how we could go faster than the speed of light ;P

I mean, reactionless drives are a nice thing, but you still need ages to get anywhere (also the thrust they get is very small. 100 nN right now. And that's why they are very careful not to jump the gun here, because there could be different explanations)
