09:51

is that the recent volcanic activity on island?
09:51
<
Althego >
btw there is at least one guy on the internet, who lives in hawaii, and believes volcanos are fake/lie/conspiracy
09:51

because nobody has ever seen lava flowing out of a cone shaped mountain

Multiport docking seems to be broken now :(
10:48
<
Althego >
it never worked for me
10:48
<
Althego >
even when they said it did
10:49
<
Althego >
but i dont use it normally so doesnt matter to me
10:49
<
Mat2ch >
it was somewhat broken a few versions back where you couldn't align two ports anymore properly (they were always a few milli degrees off)
10:49
<
Mat2ch >
and now it doesn't seem to work at all :|
10:49
<
Mat2ch >
I love multiport docking
10:49
<
Mat2ch >
makes it possible to dock huge pushing stages together without having to launch them in one piece
10:50
<
Mat2ch >
and I'd like to have docking ports where I can set the snap degrees. So that they align properly to 90° or so
10:50
<
Mat2ch >
I could go with one docking port, since now it should be possible to add struts in space
10:50
<
Althego >
obvious solution, we need a super heavy docking port
10:51
<
Mat2ch >
Docking clamps :D
10:51
<
Althego >
if there are decouplers in all sizes, there should be docking port too
10:51
<
Althego >
you can already build your clamps
10:51
<
Althego >
turn on what is its name something like craft interaction
10:52
<
Althego >
for parts
10:52
<
Althego >
and then you cna hold onto other parts
10:52
<
Althego >
for example with landing legs
10:52
<
Althego >
or with the robotics parts
10:53
<
Althego >
same vessel interaction
10:53
<
Althego >
you couldeven build your own docking port like this
10:53
<
Mat2ch >
Same vessel interaction, thanks for the hint.
10:54
<
Althego >
i never tried it
10:54
<
Mat2ch >
now it docks, but is still offset.
10:54
<
Althego >
since most of the time it is a blessing that legs and moving things can clip through other parts
10:55
<
Mat2ch >

there was something
13:56

kind of long
13:57
<
Althego >
it seems they are starting to get the hang of it
13:58
<
Althego >
they got to the static fire in an hour? or maybe the shift starts at 6?
13:59
<
Althego >
also elon claimed the vacuum raptor development is going well
14:00
<
Althego >
it seems such a waste to have 6 engines but only use 3 of them
14:00
<
Althego >
couldnt they have some kind of nozzle extension that can turn on or off?
14:01
<
Mat2ch >
Althego: probably yes, but patented.
14:01
<
Althego >
but nobody used such a thing
14:02
<
Althego >
i mean there is one that can turn on
14:02
<
Mat2ch >
eh, that is used!
14:02
<
Althego >
but it is there to conserve space
14:02
<
Mat2ch >
let me look for it
14:02
<
Althego >
but i dont know one that can then turn off
14:02
<
Althego >
also there might be slight differences in the engine too
14:03
<
Mat2ch >
I'm pretty sure other people had the same idea
14:04
<
Althego >
there is no separate data on the wiki about the two raptor variants. there is a vacuum isp and a sea level isp, but i assume that is for the normal variant. or the vacuum is for the vacuum variant and the sea level for the sea level variant?
14:04
<
Althego >
damn those patents
14:05
<
Althego >
yes this is the one i kow
14:05
<
Althego >
but it never turns off
14:05
<
Althego >
just unpacks itself after staging
14:06
<
Mat2ch >
but packing it back would be rather easy
14:07
<
Mat2ch >
it's just not needed, because it is only used on upper stages and they are then dumped into the ocean.
14:12
<
Althego >
it is such a trivial idea that it took me like 5 seconds to think of it
14:12
<
Althego >
and they could patent it
14:13
<
Althego >
reminds me of the boulton and watt steam engines, that had this strange way to create rotational motion from oscillating motion, because of a patent. a gut could somehow patent a thousand year old idea that was known by everybody

Althego: which wiki?
14:14
<
Althego >
but later i found it in the text
14:14
<
Althego >
so indeed the 380 s isp is for the vacuum version
14:17
<
Mat2ch >
I wonder how many patents could be annulled by just looking at the Antikythera mechanism
14:17
<
Althego >
at this point none
14:17
<
Althego >
in the 18th century maybe some
14:18
<
Althego >
but patents have a limited time anyway, and mechanical stuff is basically completely discovered
14:18
<
Althego >
like 100 years ago
14:26
<
Althego >
ok maybe cvt is relatively new, those may be under patent

Can I get DLC on gog for KSP I have from steam?
15:53
<
flayer >
you just need the files
15:53
<
Althego >
and oyu can copy them in the game dir
15:54
<
Althego >
but gog usually releases updates later because of their supposed testing
15:58
<
darsie >
Are the DLC versions simultaneous with KSP?
15:58
<
packbart >
no, they have their own version numbers
15:58
<
Althego >
usually they are released at the same time as a ksp release. but 1.11.2 didnt release any
15:59
<
Althego >
also one is having 1.11.1 as version and the other is only 1.6.1
15:59
<
Althego >
burcause it was not updated for a while and they didnt keep the versions locked
15:59
<
Althego >
quite annoying
16:10
<
Althego >
apparently perseverance is deploying ingenuity
16:10
<
Althego >
some press conference tomorrow
16:11
<
Althego >
i hope they fly it in 1-2 days because it is extremely weak on its own, who knows how long it can survive
16:12

let's hope they mounted the INS the right way up
16:12

i think it was tested on earth

so there probably go in there

A pathfinder
17:52

and then we will see one with actual raptors on it

probably the one that will get launched on top of BN3...

not to mention like 30 something raptors for just one launch

One booster at a time.

there is always a doubt. all this needs a lot of money

The raptors are expensive, but the rest? It's just a more sophisticated water tank...

...how hard is the water tank to lift? Asking for myself and 29 friends
19:58

never mind all the buildings, the pipes, wiring, etc, the two water platforms, also the costs of starlink
