<Althego>
to be in the sky is better than not to be in the sky :)
<Mat2ch>
and advertisment of the NRO?!
<Mat2ch>
so weird
<Althego>
i guess it was in the contract
<Althego>
last spacex launch this year
<Althego>
and it is quite obvious sn9 is nto going to fly this year
<Mat2ch>
yeah, SN9 wont fly and wont be tested before christmas :/
<Mat2ch>

<Mat2ch>
28th or 29th for pressure tests
<Mat2ch>
and flight next year :P
<Althego>
i doubt they are going for a flight during new year's festivities
<Mat2ch>
wait, why was there a rocketlabs scene? :D
<Mat2ch>
would be funny to fly it at midnight. But I doubt it ;)
<Althego>
generic cutscene, industry's best and brightest
<Althego>
rocketlab is amongst them
<Althego>
actually there is a launch complex 2 for rocketlab
<Althego>
they never used it
<Althego>
yet
<Althego>
but that is in the usa for easier launches of american payloads

Hold :|
<Mat2ch>
Russian spy plane!
jwest has quit [Client Quit]
<Mat2ch>
Most probably not. ;)
<Althego>
no need for a spy plane
<Althego>
they probably already know what is on the rocket
<Althego>
and not visible from the outside anyway
<Mat2ch>
well, Scott already speculated about something in geo stationary orbit
<Althego>
eh, went back to 45 minutes
<Mat2ch>
radio telecopse with huge foldable dish or so
<Mat2ch>
I wonder how effective that is in todays world, where everything gets end-to-end encrypted.
<Mat2ch>
But meta data should be still valuable
<Althego>
how does this relate to a radio telescope?
<Althego>
getting the data is simple, pay somebody
<Mat2ch>
I have no clue why the NRO would send up a radio telescope then.
<Mat2ch>
they are probably not spying on planets with them
<Mat2ch>
they're spying on earth, maybe trying to receive the data that is sent to others sats
<Mat2ch>
fully encrypted that data is worth nothing, except you hope you can decrypt it some day.
<Althego>
if it is a radar instead of a telescope you can generally get a lot of useful information
<Althego>
but i am not sure about military usage
<Mat2ch>
maybe a passive radar. The one thing that can scan for stealth planes
<Mat2ch>
There is so much chatter on many different frequencies today, a stealth plane would shadow them and you could see a mark
<Mat2ch>
maybe
<Mat2ch>
or they are sending some aliens home and we are not allowed to know :P
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
if the aliens could get here, they dont need our help to leave
<Althego>
so where is the release notes?
<Althego>
no, not for the aliens
<Mat2ch>
Maybe landing can be covered up by a meteroid story, but launching has to be steathly ;)
<Mat2ch>
*stealthy
<Mat2ch>
since they are not detanking the rocket they seem to be confident to launch sooner than later
<Mat2ch>
or maybe I'm seeing it wrong
<Althego>
if it is because of weather, it may fix itself
<Althego>
probably cheaper to wait a bit now than to do this whole thing from start tomorrow
<darsie>
The vehicle and the payload are in good health, so what's the issue?
<Mat2ch>
Don't know
<Mat2ch>
Range or weather
<darsie>
I guess they wolud have said that.
<Althego>
or they cant say that one of the aliens got sick :)
<darsie>
The computer that renders the images in space crashed.
<Althego>
no images, stop after first stage landing because of the nature of payload

"Pressure is slightly high in upper stage liquid oxygen tank. Review underway."
<FLHerne>
I think "vehicle and payload are healthy" translates to "it's not going to blow up"

Creating content on YouTube is blocked for me, so that doesn't work for live streaming. Does anybody have some recommendations on what I can use?

Steam?

isn't very familiar with how that does streaming

how do you even stream on steam

I might have to use Zoom (bruh) if I can't find anything else
