Althego: the time the crane is already at the complex suggests that they bought it.
<Mat2ch>
They will need it for years to come and it would be far more expensive to rent it.
<Althego>
can be
<Mat2ch>
the crane boom is lowered which means they really want to launch with it being nearby...
<Althego>
lol
<Mat2ch>
probably to lift SN10 onto Pad A tomorrow
<Althego>
i guess they win a day with this if nothing explodes
<Mat2ch>
and yes it is called "boom" and has nothing to do with the boom we hopefully wont see. :D
<FLHerne>
Mat2ch: It still has Roll-Lift branding, you'd think they'd at least debrand it if purchased
<FLHerne>
All the lifts and things on the pad are United Rentals
<darsie>
Maybe they get it cheaper if they leave the branding on.
<FLHerne>
Probably the opposite if anything
<Althego>
why, it would be free ad

Althego, its a very unintentionally funny story

tfr is gone.
<Mat2ch>
Great
<Mat2ch>
I was looking forward to this :P
<Althego>
at least i dont have to worry about being up late
<Althego>
unless friday is a failure too
<Althego>
because then the whole thing starts next week
<Althego>
and we can wait for the late launch again
<Mat2ch>
the streamers all have hope
<Mat2ch>
I don't.
<Mat2ch>
:D
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
yes, if the tfr is gone, it is over
<Mat2ch>
it is gone
<Mat2ch>
and since tfrs probably can't be set up just a few minutes ahead of something this means it's over for today.
<Mat2ch>
Screw you high upper winds!
<Althego>
unless spacex has an experimental teleporter, and they can just directly jump to orbit :)

the FAA website doesn't seem to be made for 100000 SpaceX fans...
<Althego>
hehehe
<Althego>
i guess thousands od people are sitting there and just pressing refresh constantléy
<Mat2ch>
The NSF stream has 60k viewers. That is insane.
<Althego>
i moved on
<flayer>
i used to have persistent rotation installed as an additional challenge because you couldn't use timewarp to stabilize your ship
<flayer>
now i use it to speed up my very careful and slow rotations
<darsie>
That's fuel/battery efficient.
<flayer>
yeah, i've started building ships with far less battery power too
<flayer>
i'm slowly turning into you darsie
<darsie>
hehe
<darsie>
If you hold at your maneuver marker and then time warp, will you still rotate, e.g. because the hold didn't stop you completely?
<flayer>
yeah, but you can get to stabilize pretty well
<flayer>
with small ships at least
<darsie>
If not, you could rotate away from the maneuver marker and will rotate back to it periodically, then hold attitude at the marker just before you start the burn.
<darsie>
Unless that unrealistic physics sphere messes up your attitude.
<Althego>
hehe. gura is playing read dead 2. there is a shrimp on her head, and there is a small cowboy head on the shrimp's head
<Althego>
why do i always want to write it as read dead instead of red dead
<darsie>
cowboy head or hat?
<Althego>
hat
<Althego>
see, tehre is some typing issue
<Althego>
at least more than usual
<Althego>
supposedly new tfr is up
<darsie>
Yeah. You need neuralink :).
<Althego>
i cant even direct my own fingers correctly, after decades of use. why would i use an extra hand better
<darsie>
The idea was that it reads your thoughts and sends exactly what you think :).
<Althego>
the god emperor of dune had something like that. he used that for his journals
<darsie>
Are we all supposed to click that link? :)
<Althego>
nothing harmful there
<darsie>
DDoS
<Althego>
maybe it is another tank test, if they cant fly
<flayer>
i'm halfway annoyed that i'm here for all the tests
<flayer>
its like... if you come in at the end, when they send the first one off to mars, you don't have to wait around so much
<flayer>
i just wanna see the first payload - robotic refuel system - land on mars already
<flayer>
when's that gonna be? 2030?
<Althego>
maybe
<Althego>
because of elon time
<Althego>
if we are lucky, starship makes into orbit this year
<Althego>
but there are always issues
<Althego>
after that it needs to be used
<Althego>
a lot
<Althego>
and the orbital refueling needs to be developed
<Althego>
maybe they can send a test ship to mars in 2022, but i think it is unlikely
<darsie>
A foreig... umm, interstellar asteroid could be on collision course with Earth with no way to deflect it.
<Althego>
doesnt need to be interstellar to become deadly
<Althego>
there is no money even for the detection of these
<darsie>
No, but those are more likely to be discovered when it's too late.
<Althego>
much less any kind of deflection research
<darsie>
OTOH there are fewer of those.
<darsie>
A simple impact can do the trick.
<darsie>
if it's done in time.
<Althego>
there supposed to be a mission to shoot an asteroid moon to see if w can deflect them such way
<Althego>
didymos and its moon didymoon

<darsie>
I wonder how it could fail. We could miss or graze it. If we hit, there'll be debris scattered. I don't think it would break up in large fractions, so most of the momentum would be transferred to the remaining asteroid.
<Althego>
to small deflection, if asteroid is too heavy, too small if it is too fluffly and goes through, too small if it just breaks apart
<Althego>
this is like digging a probe in martian soil. seemed simple enough, but failed completely
<minas_tirith>
Althego, you must understand
<minas_tirith>
Its very difficult to make a machine perform such tasks from home
<Althego>
i didnt say it was a dumb design. it was a design. nobody knew what to expect. now it helped to show that there needs to be an other way
<minas_tirith>
Remotely operated robot vehicles are a very difficult and complex thing
<darsie>
minas_tirith: Are you a moon or an ancient greek horned creature?
<Althego>
that's no moon
<minas_tirith>
darsie, why?
<darsie>
Your name
<minas_tirith>
Its a location in middle earth
<darsie>
I guess it makes me think of minotaur.
<minas_tirith>
What were your interpretations?
<darsie>
k
<minas_tirith>
There are many ancient horned gods
<darsie>
horny gods
<minas_tirith>
Veles, Satyrs et
<minas_tirith>
Veles, Satyrs etc

after all these recent events, will 2021 be worse than 2020? i think so
<darsie>
Nature might die a bit slower in 2021.
* raptop
is hoping to see fewer deaths in 2021
<Althego>
the new variants are spreading
<darsie>
Umm, I meant, it might resume dying at a more faster pace.
<darsie>
idk
<raptop>
The good news is that so far none of the variants are actually able to overcome the vaccines
