i have a ship. one atomic engine. 5500 dv. 200 days worth of snacks. will i make it in time?

to duna?

i was thinking leave kerbin like 30-40 days after the transfer window and just burn more aggressively towards it
<flayer>
maybe even a 100 days after the window
<darsie>
flayer: You could cheat a dummy ship in orbit and test with maneuver nodes how long the trip would take. If it doesn't work out, you can load your old state.
<flayer>
i'm just going to launch and do that
<darsie>
flying faster will make the trip shorter.
<darsie>
I'm not sure about the arrival speed. With Hohmann you're slower than Duna at the encounter. When you fly faster, you'll arrive faster, but not aligned with Duna's orbit ...
<darsie>
Probably still very managable.
<flayer>
i got 5500 dv to play with
<flayer>
as long as i got enough time to do the burn while in duna soi, i'm good
<flayer>
0.15 twr
<darsie>
Duna is great for aerobraking.
<flayer>
yeah, that too
<darsie>
Sometimes Ike is in the way, so you might go faster or slower, then.

Hey guys should I submit a set idea to LEGO of the Artemis Rocket, the Mercury Redstone, or the Starship?
<darsie>
no
<darsie>
;)
<TristenKSP>
why
<darsie>
Cause Lego is too expensive.
<Althego>
hehe
<TristenKSP>
Each piece is worth about 9 cents USD
<TristenKSP>
The Saturn V set is 1969 pieces, and $120.
<Althego>
hehe 1969 pieces
<TristenKSP>
i'm pretty sure that was on purpose
<darsie>
Will Artemis be a thing/
<darsie>
?
<TristenKSP>
Artemis is the next moon missions for 2022
<Althego>
you know what, when i was a child i couldnt get all the legos i wanted because they were expensive and very rare. today however i could buy any set any time
<TristenKSP>
It had it's first green run about a week ago
<Althego>
it has to launch this year
<TristenKSP>
i hope so
<Althego>
otherwise some part warranties run out
<TristenKSP>
but not a crewed mission yet
<Althego>
and it needs to go through maintenance
Ezriilc has joined #KSPOfficial
<Althego>
i see a high possibility that the slas doesnt fly this year
<Althego>
given the track record of the project
<TristenKSP>
the SLAS? I thought it was the SLS
<undeadraptop>
Space LAg System
<Althego>
they needed what, 12 billion dollars and 10 years to assemble parts that were used on the shuttle, and use up engines that actually went to space on the shuttles?
<TristenKSP>
There was over 100 missions used on 5 different shuttles in the span of about 35 years.
<TristenKSP>
Spac Launc Syctem
<TristenKSP>

<undeadraptop>
meanwhile, the Soyuz-U launched 786 missions over 44 years
<Althego>
not reusable
<Althego>
i am quite afraid of the heatshield tiles of starship
<TristenKSP>
7 8 6 ? !
<FLHerne>
The pinned ones seem to be working ok
<TristenKSP>
that makes NASA looks like they're slacking
<FLHerne>
It's only the ones with glue that keep breaking
<Althego>
on the shuttle those were expensive, brittle, required lot of maintenance, and actually not too safe
<FLHerne>
At least there are no foam strikes
<FLHerne>
On the other hand, hinges
<Althego>
ok we dont know what they are made of
<TristenKSP>
The Buran Spaceplane lost WAY less heat shield tiles on the first test flight contrast to NASA's shuttle.
<Althego>
also nobody ever built a heat shield for mars and eart huse
<Althego>
remember it needs to be reusable. even if it doesnt lose a single one. all of them needs to be checked, some of them replaced
<TristenKSP>
If heat shields are made of ceramic, doesn't that mean they would be smooth and not rough if you touched one?
<Althego>
doesnt look like a cheap method
<Althego>
what does that have to do with the material?
<Althego>
you can make them smooth or rough
<TristenKSP>
o h
<TristenKSP>
they probably make the heat shields rough
<Althego>
they have their own material science group
<Althego>
they built their own heat shield manufacturing and testing facility from nothing for dragon
<Althego>
so yes, they are capable
<TristenKSP>
just for dragon, they built an ENTIRE DEPARTMENT, just for building heat shields?
<Althego>
actually they modified the pica material to be more easily and cheaply producible
<Althego>
but pica is completely different from the ceramics
<Althego>
different material, different way of applying, different way it works
<TristenKSP>

I still never got an answer to what roecket I should submit to LEGO for a set idea.
<Althego>
prototypes are subject to change
<TristenKSP>
what does that mean
<Althego>
so something that flew already
<TristenKSP>
ok
<TristenKSP>
I have Mercury Redstone, Falcon Heavy, Starship, Atlas V, or you can suggest another
<Althego>
starship is a prototype
<Althego>
falcon heavy is interesting because you can do the landing with the boosters
<TristenKSP>
oh yeah
<TristenKSP>
i want to do the sls but it hasn't flown yet
<packbart>
that's what KSP is for
<packbart>
;)
<Althego>
maybe atlas 5 with rover inside?
<TristenKSP>
There probably is a diagram for how it works
<TristenKSP>
The SLS
<Althego>
and then you can do the mars landing with the orver
<TristenKSP>
orver
<packbart>
stick 4 vectors below a 3.75m tank or something similar? Clydesdales to the sides
<Althego>
in any case both big rovers were launched on atlas v
<TristenKSP>
I can't play KSP rn
<TristenKSP>
I'm not at my Dad's house
<TristenKSP>
There's already an idea submitted for Falcon Heavy
<darsie>
What's the next FH payload?
<Althego>
i think it was something military
<packbart>
not many KSP streams on Twitch right now, either
<TristenKSP>
THERE'S ALREADY A STARSHIP TOO
<Althego>
no, viasat-3 series satellite
<Althego>
only after that is ussf-44
<darsie>
NASA has chosen Falcon Heavy as the launch vehicle for its Psyche mission to a metallic asteroid with a planned launch in August 2022.
<Althego>
space force 44. how did it become 44. they dont even exist that long
<Althego>
and as things are it may even launch europa clipper
<TristenKSP>
There is no Atlas V set idea
<Althego>
but specifically atlas v with curiosity or perseverance
<packbart>
Althego: Wikipedia says it was "AFSPC-44" originally
<Althego>
but to make that work the rocket needs to be really big
<packbart>
renamed to Space! Force!
prefixcactus has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]
<TristenKSP>
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THERE'S EVEN AN SLS IDEA?!
<TristenKSP>
it even comes with a crawler and tower
<Althego>
perseverance with a tiny ingenuity in the rocket would be interesting. but obviosuly there are size problems. so normaly thses would be separate sets. one rocver in high detail, and a rocket in lower detail
<packbart>
does LEGO have a Project Orion set? :)
<TristenKSP>
yes
<TristenKSP>
it only has about 200 supporters tho
<Althego>
how many star trek enterprises are there?
<packbart>
it's probably too complicated to make those plutonium and uranium bricks
<Althego>
i know there are some millenium falcons

submit the idea of Lego self replicating machines.
<TristenKSP>

<darsie>

<Althego>
i am not sure even spacex capsules land in international waters. probably still usa territory. and of course chinese and russian ships land directly on land
<unavailable>
i think splashing down is better than landing on return missions because you get more time for the atmosphere and parachutes to slow you down.
<Althego>
by like few seconds?
<Althego>
and you can sink and drown in the capsule
<unavailable>
idk you move at about 10 m/s when your parachutes deploy
<unavailable>
and russia and china are pretty high above water level
<Althego>
the parachutes deploy some km up, then this doesnt matter
<unavailable>
that's why splashdown capsules have buoys and balloons that keep it afloat
<Althego>
i think soyuz capsules land in kazakhstan
<Althego>
i still wouldnt want to wait for rescue in an ocean

better on solid ground
