hi all
<Althego>
hi
<Mod9000>
Hello, Althego
<Althego>
oh no
<Althego>
as always it greets the wrong person
<xon>
hi
<Judge_Dedd>
Hi xon
<xon>
I am new the game community
<Althego>
maybe make it so it doesnt gereet me, i would be satisfied
<Judge_Dedd>
Warmly welcome :)
<xon>
thx :D
<xon>
can I ask a question
<xon>
about game
<Judge_Dedd>
Of course :)
<Althego>
just collected some eva science around the mun, first in this career
<Judge_Dedd>
nice
<xon>
thx
<xon>
by
<xon>
:D
<Judge_Dedd>
by ?
<Althego>
i think it is because of kthx bye
<xon>
almost 8 hours I spend my time new part round mun orbit z 400 batter attach I can't find a place to attach just I found and close to satellite almost 4 m but it docent fittet
<darsie>
xon: What is your native language?
<xon>
turkish
<darsie>
merhaba :)
<xon>
:D
<xon>
do you know turkish
<darsie>
no :)
<xon>
:D
<xon>
dosent matther
<xon>
:D
<Althego>
is this a contract? battery around the mun and have to get it?
<darsie>
I don't really understand what you're saying. Mybe post a screenshot.
<darsie>
Guest78015: It magically makes your rocket turn.
<Guest78015>
oh I was an idiot and thought it stabilized flow of propulsion and I put it under engine and I now know why it always fell off
<packbart>
(or tear itself apart :)
<Guest78015>
so it is like tvc
<packbart>
if that means "thrust vector control", then yes, similar but different
<Guest78015>
yea is there something more like tvc
<packbart>
no thrust and KSP reaction wheels are magically enhanced
<darsie>
Guest78015: Just read the instructions ;)
<darsie>
I mean the item description.
<packbart>
"If a spacecraft has rotating parts these can be utilized or controlled as CMGs" - huh. imagine steering space station with a hair dryer

<FLHerne>
Guest78015: Most liquid engines in KSP have thrust vectoring
<FLHerne>
Oh, they've gone again
<Althego>
why is it that rare events always have to happen at the same time. 10 second burn for a rescue craft and a 20 second flyover of a tiny mun crater (but with biome)
<Althego>
i had to start burn early and correct radially to have time to switch tothe flyover
<Althego>
and before all this i collected a 3rd thermal merasurement point for a contract, luckily the last. had to stop after the second because of the mun ship circularization and pole biomes
<packbart>
probably for the same reason that docking always happens in the dark
<Althego>
hehe, yes, always
<darsie>
We now have fancy position lights.
<darsie>
And we can set target to the target docking port.
<Althego>
yes, position lights. with 30 parts limit :)
<Althego>
ok now i am on 255, so not an issue, but i didnt buy the lights yet :)
<Althego>
the random airplae parts cost a lot
<darsie>
Why do I have all SAS buttons with every computer?
<packbart>
"Random Kerman, here's your rescue plan: Leave the capsule, then fire your jetpack retrograde. In case you didn't bring a parachute, try to land helmet-first."
<Althego>
hehe
<darsie>
No. Assume vertical attitude for maximal aerobraking and land at a low spot for high atmospheric density for maximal drag.
<raptop>
it's probably fine
<packbart>
from their very low orbit, it usually is
<darsie>
He has a chute, though.
<Althego>
random kerman. in hhgttg there is a character with the first name random :)
<packbart>
Random Frequent Flyer Dent
<Althego>
i didnt remember the frequent flyer part
<packbart>
I learned from darsie to start the burn just over the last desert peninsula before the KSC. the low orbit rescues start from a 70-80km orbit, so already have quite low velocity
<darsie>
70.5ish km
<darsie>
Burn 3.1 EVA fuel retrograde.
<darsie>
Low orbit has high velocity.
<packbart>
uh. hm. right. low energy? they don't burn as much as an interplanetary return
<packbart>
have you tried the method for a Minmus rescue?
<darsie>
Later adjustments can be done with varible drag by variable attitude.
<packbart>
from Minmus surface to Kerbin reentry should easily be within the jetpack dV range
<darsie>
Maybe. Would require lots of shallow aerobraking entries to avoid burning up.
<darsie>
You need 3.1 EVA fuel for entry.
<darsie>
Fortunately the orbit is littered with pods to refuel.
<umaxtu>
isn't there an extra eva fuel backpack now?
<darsie>
yes
<darsie>
3 EVA fuel in it
<darsie>
I don't think stranded Kerbals would have that.
<darsie>
Fell down at touch down.
<FLHerne>
darsie: Low orbit has low velocity for a given altitude :p
<darsie>
Well, you're slower at Pe with a circular orbit.
<Althego>
i need healing
