isn't fossil fuel also a "bio-derived fuel"?
<Althego>
yes
<Althego>
thecnically one of the rarest resources of the universe
<Althego>
and we just burn it
<packbart>
it's nature's plan
<Mat2ch>
Althego: we don't really know that yet. Life could have been plenty all over the universe, but now extinct and turned into fossil fuel...
<Althego>
hehe like carlin with the plastics. maybe the earth wanted plastics, but didnt know how. the answer to the age old question, why are we here? plastics
<packbart>
yeah, I somewhat believe in it ;) the garbage patches will become a new primordial goo
<packbart>
life will incorporate plastics one way or another
<packbart>
and it really feels like we're being phased out ;)
<Mat2ch>
Oh, that's why people oppose the ocean cleanup!
<packbart>
"first bio-derived fuel ... in the entirety of the cosmos" - my, they are laying it on quite thick :>

Mat2ch: the first coral to extrude a skeleton from microplastics will have an advantage in acidic waters over those that rely on calcium
<Althego>
the plastics are not really reactive, so you can only mechanically build on them
<packbart>
Blueshift seems to have some uplink problems. Or maybe it's still the Windows Update

I seem to remember that there are ways to cold-weld them. But I don't know the chemical or physical details

joining pieces of rain pipe
<packbart>
they'd probably need to produce some sort of solvent to glue droplets of plastic onto one another

it's multiplayer snake. I see a leaderboard in the top right corner
<Althego>
people in the chat in the universal language of the internet: f
<packbart>
that too will fizzle out over time
<packbart>
staging checked
<Althego>
after this i would drain the whole thing and check the valve
<packbart>
that's a lot of Vodka to drain ;)
<Althego>
wait, is it running on alcohol?
<packbart>
I don't know. Calling it "bio-derived" I imagined some sort of moonshine from potatoes ;)
<Althego>
but there were alcohol based rockets already?
<Althego>
so how were those not bio derived?
<packbart>
I like the Kerbal-ish control hut. A wooden container with a space agency poster
<packbart>
it's probably just marketing
<Althego>
hehe control hut

i see the problem, it is solid fuel
<Althego>
so it is a hybrid rocket
<packbart>
solid fuel + gaseous oxygen? they don't really have much detail on their website. but it supposedly doesn't have cryo tanks
<Althego>
notrous oxide maybe
<Althego>
hehe nasaspaceflight is in the chat
<Althego>
nothing
<Althego>
i have been trying to start this career game for two days but the initial science collecting keeps me back
<packbart>
you could just start out with some initial science ;)
<packbart>
but yeah, I always mean to build a career template from which to start new games. didn't really get to do it, yet
<Althego>
we got to the point where a rocket is funded by patreon :)
<packbart>
the person next to the rocket for scale. it really is a large model rocket :)
<packbart>
"Unique Polar Launch Opportunity" - huh. can't you launch into polar orbit from almost anywhere?
<packbart>
Maine's Uniqueness is probably that it doesn't have a large population, just huge farms
<raptop>
unique polar launch opportunity because SLC and KLC don't exist?
sasamj has joined #KSPOfficial
<Althego>
is it easier to launch to a polar orbit from the pole?
<Althego>
you dont have to cancel the rotation
<umaxtu>
^^^
<Althego>
you could technically eat our fuel :)
<Althego>
oh yes, make it from sugar
<raptop>
annoy everyone by making a novelty confectionary company called "rocket candy"
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
sounds like a mission
<raptop>

hehe, he called it unironically lithobraking
<minas_tirith>
raptop, the passing of the Grey Company
<raptop>

<LunchBot>
raptop: Added outcome: This is a Fine (for the deaths and destruction).
<Althego>
what would remain if the rocket is destroyed? stardust memories
* raptop
really should watch a Gundam show sometime
<minas_tirith>
raptop, Austria
<minas_tirith>
Yeah the japanese make some interesting cartoons
<minas_tirith>
However I was thinking
<minas_tirith>
It'd be fun to write some keyboards themed on tolkien
* raptop
assumes that there are tengwar IMEs out there somewhere, though an actual keyboard could be amusing
<raptop>
(Naturally a dwarven one would be clicky)
<minas_tirith>
Oh I meant keyboard music
<minas_tirith>
But a computer keyboard would be fun too
<minas_tirith>
Dwarven would probably have stone body and keys
<minas_tirith>
raptop, on an unrelated note, Oblivion is so pretty
* raptop
should probably at some point see what the graphics mods options are for it and do a playthrough
<minas_tirith>
Unmodded is pretty
<minas_tirith>
No need for graphics mods
<minas_tirith>
raptop, when you walk out of the prison for the first time and see the rolling green valleys, clouds and purple hills in the distance...
<raptop>
nice
<Althego>
oh no, the launch still didnt happen and an angry astronaut live stream is coming up
