Deadly Reentry is fierce. my rockets blow up on a "typical" ascent :) (the pod survived and made it to orbit)

Kerbal News Program, eh?
<Judge_Dedd>
I actually find this very interesting. Most of us got into the game because rockets are cool, explosions are funny, and designing things by sticking bits together and seeing what happens is a dream come true. But over time, those of us who stuck around have gradually become more and more interested in actual spaceflight and details of rocket/orbital science.
<packbart>
I don't really see the beauty in stainless steel skins, tbh
<Althego>
i always wanted shiny metal parts
<packbart>
but you don't want to go down the Textures Unlimited modding trail, I guess
<Judge_Dedd>
<packbart> I don't really see the beauty in stainless steel skins, tbh <-- but, but, DeLorian!
<packbart>
was a car of rather poor quality, or so I've read ;)
<Althego>
DeLorean. and yes, suposedly it wasnt good
<Judge_Dedd>
The car was all right, but the guy running the company was actually a fraudster
<kubi>
the tank painting is just terrible in general
<kubi>
I like the plan 1.875 mid-long
<kubi>
and the big orange
<kubi>
the rest is just meh...
<Althego>
also need to be able to set fuel type for all tanks, because liquid fuel only is hardly available
<kubi>
there are mods
<Judge_Dedd>
DeLorian didn't sell well because 1) People wanted colour choice, and 2) it only had 6 cylinders, and back then, the average US citizen thought that 8>6 in every way.
<Althego>
also in fuel consumption :)

to me a car is what I can't hear

chanlog pls thx
<Mod9000>
I keep channel logs here: bitcoinshell.mooo.com/users/deddly/?C=M;O=D
<kubi>
now & then I'm upset of the wheel noise of my prius too
<Mostly_Deddly>
DMC Delorian still exist, by the way. They were planning on making an electric replica
<Althego>
the com of the scanning arms is totally off
<Althego>
it is at the endpoint
<Althego>
even folded it should be in the center
<Althego>
and the biggest one is kind of heavy for a rover. if i put it to the side it moves the com way too much
<packbart>
I didn't notice any big problems with it, though. even when mounted on a cubic strut on the side of a rovemate
<Althego>
i wanted to put a docking port on top, in the center of the rover
<Althego>
but cant because then the arm needs to be pushed to the side and it is the third of the mass of the rover
<packbart>
I have a junior port on top. worksforme. the rover doesn't flip more than usual
<Althego>
moved two sets of batteries into each other, it is ok now, just a bit off center
<Althego>
i think batteries are really light in the game anyway
<packbart>

I think Kerbin is really light in the game, too.
<darsie>
With too low an atmospheric scale height.
<darsie>
It's lower than on Earth.
<raptop>
scale heights are a bit silly, yes
<darsie>
Maybe the atmosphere is made of xenon or so.
<darsie>
SF6
<raptop>
Also, that Duna's scale height is less
<raptop>
(Mars' scale height is ~2x Earth's)
<Althego>
duna's atmosphere max height was increased at some point, but yes, smaller gravity means higher atmosphere
<raptop>
Earth has the smallest scale height of any planet in the solar system
<raptop>
Uh, for the purposes of this, pretend that Titan is a planet
<Althego>
jupiter?
<raptop>
Jupiter's actually got a rather large scale height. ("surface" gravity is only like 2 or 2.5x earth's, and the atmosphere molecular weight is way lower)
* raptop
is willing to accept scale heights being smaller across the board in KSP because everything is smol, though)

i spent the whole evening designing the rover
<Althego>
maybe it would be simplet to just put wheels on a lander
