<Althego>
heh obviously everything happens at the same time
<Althego>
some ships outbound to minmus. arrival in 1 day 37 minutes. some ships arriving from minmus. arrival in 1 day 36 minutes
<Althego>
always
<Althego>
some missions have several days length in the kerbin soi alone, and yet they just so happen to line up with other mission nodes that are much shorter
<Althego>
what are we going to name our real starships?
KindOne has quit [Ping timeout: 378 seconds]
KindTwo is now known as KindOne
<Althego>
galaxy hoppers?
<Althego>
luckily that is only mission soi entering, so i have some time to land with the inbound probes
<Althego>
the outbound ones... one is on nuke, so needs longer burn, i guess i am going to slow it down a bit farther from minmus
<Althego>
then the chemical one can do orbital insertion a bit offset
<Althego>
actually the timing is not completely random. with around 1350 m/s burn to minmus you arrive in such time. and with similar delta v spent for the way back, maybe a little less, even those are on their way for a while now, they arrive in the same time
<Althego>
i cant have that much margin on the way back
<Althego>
with such high speeds even minmus orbital insertion is expensive. but there is less time than money
<Althego>
who has time for a 4 day hohmann transfer to minmus
<raptop>
brachistochrone time?
<Althego>
well, straight lines anyway
<Althego>
but not practical to make it faster than a day
<Althego>
at east now we have these big gimballed solids
<Althego>
usually need to strap some old big ones to the side of the 2.5 m to have enough thrust
<Althego>
bit annoying that the old ones are longer
<Althego>
and you need to regulate the thrust to get the 80 sec burn time to have them burn out the same time

Soon Starhopper will fly ;)
<Althego>
that not
<Mat2ch>
you are seeing this to negative
<Althego>
probably bolted to the concrete
<Mat2ch>
they are attaching the lift section right now
<Althego>
the starship prototype, yes, it is going to make the 20 km jump this year
<Mat2ch>
I said Starhopper and not Starship :P
FLHerne has quit [Ping timeout: 194 seconds]
<Althego>
is something happening to the hopper?
<Mat2ch>
It's going to get lifted onto the roll lift
<Mat2ch>
right now
<Mat2ch>
that's why I'm talking about it for an hour or so now ;)
<Mat2ch>
well, maybe half an hour ;)
<Althego>
are you talking about the labpadre livestream?
<Mat2ch>
yes
<Althego>
that is not starhopper
<Althego>
starhopper is the small round top tank that flew last year
<Mat2ch>
oh, you are right
<Mat2ch>
But calling it starship is also wrong
<Mat2ch>
so Starhopper 2?
<Althego>
starship sn5
<Mat2ch>
SN5 sounds so lame
<Althego>
as staated in the scrolling text
<Althego>
since elon plans to have hundreds of these, naming them is kind of pointless
<Mat2ch>
not reading scrolling things ;P
<Mat2ch>
I guess they will all get individual names, like airplanes
<Althego>
remanent of the 90s internet?
<Althego>
you mean like ships?
<Althego>
because airplanes generally dont get names
<Mat2ch>
oh, many airlines give their planes individual names
