umaxtu: I'm not sure if this isn't vicious
<Mat2ch>
is it possible that there are sand banks? And they cartographed them there, maybe to build a wind park?
<Althego>
sand banks. to hold sand dollars :)
<umaxtu>
I would think that they'd get better readings from a boat
<Mat2ch>
umaxtu: how, there might be sand beneath you :D
<sandbox>
there's another plane from Prestwick flying near Glasgow
<sandbox>
similar pattern

Russians, I tell ya
<Althego>
russian bots?
<FLHerne>
Looks like they're primarily scanning over land, so probably not offshore wind...
<Mat2ch>
Flying planes. Yes.
<Mat2ch>
FLHerne: that side would be good for onshore wind... :D
<FLHerne>
"Looks like military grade by the rivets on the tail, made to look like a standard vulcanair. Could be Russian I suppose, but considering Danish involvement it’s either subterfuge, but most likely scouting out of our bacon and butter industry. Danish govt also has a 90% stake in our onshore renewables, so could be a joint venture. Wouldn’t be surprised if it were Google and Bing in a joint enterprise. Mapping our island with military precision would be
<FLHerne>
very valuable to the right country such as China. Keep watching those skies!"

<Mat2ch>
lol
<umaxtu>
Fedor must be involved
<Althego>
hah perfect. reaper with zombie tomorrow... but in apex, sadly

I have arisen from the dead
<flayer>
AHHH ITS A ZOMBIE!
<TwistenX>
This is the perfect place to be
<TwistenX>
Because everybody here is affiliated with rocketry
<TwistenX>
So there's so many brains
<Althego>
not as cute as the other zombie i know of
<TwistenX>
?
<TwistenX>
Undead raptop?
<TwistenX>
Anyways, yeah I'm back into KSP. I got distracted by playing a bunch of Roblox, Minecraft, GTA V, Friday Night Funkin, and coding things.
* raptop
is not in hololive!
<Althego>
yet
* raptop
also is not indonesian >_>
<Althego>
also not addicted?
<raptop>
dunno what counts as addicted wrt vtubers
<TwistenX>
Watching a video pretty much as soon as it is uploaded, maybe?
<raptop>
Probably catching the streams at weird times
<Althego>
i think at this point they can build the tanks correctly at least

<umaxtu>
maybe, maybe not
<Althego>
tests are important
<Althego>
what i mean i dont expect this to fail
<FLHerne>
SN15 does have the new thrust bulkhead design
<Althego>
i am worried the whole flip thing is not going to work out even with the header tanks
<umaxtu>
same
<Althego>
first it looked doable. but all of the prototypes failed
<flayer>
i'm so tired
<Mat2ch>
the flip will be done with the RCS soon
<Mat2ch>
doing it with the raptors is just because they are not ready yet
<Mat2ch>
aaaand the flip worked, only the raptors themselfs had problems...
<Mat2ch>
they are trying to put lots and lots of new things into Spaceship and that's really a challenge
<umaxtu>
but is the flip causing the raptor problems?
<Mat2ch>
like pressuring the tanks with exhaust gases
<umaxtu>
clearly spacex has to crease a rotating raptor test stand
<Althego>
hehe
<Mat2ch>
let me think. I think Sn8 had bubbles in the fuel lines. So maybe yes, but maybe just not enough pressure
<Althego>
but this is what i meant
<Mat2ch>
SN9 had problems with the raptors not fireing correctly when doing the flip
<Althego>
previously the raptors were ok
<Althego>
yet the landing failed
<Mat2ch>
SN10 had a problem with the raptors
<Mat2ch>
For SN11 they had a Methane leak which burnt some cables for the avionics system and then the second raptor had a hard start and we don't know if it went through the thrust puck or if the fts got triggered.
<Althego>
this last one was the only actual engine related thing
<umaxtu>
raptors not firing correctly sounds engine related
<Althego>
except when it is pressurization related
<Mat2ch>
jep
<Mat2ch>
apparently they are killing of old designs of the raptor engines there...
<umaxtu>
how different are the raptors on SN15?
<Mat2ch>
we don't know yet.
<FLHerne>
Fuel/oxidizer connections are moved, and some of the external plumbing is tidier
<FLHerne>
internal changes, who knows?
<Althego>
at this point those are probably just tweaks for slight gains, lower mass or easier production
<FLHerne>
Less blowing up would be nice
<Althego>
so ok to blow up but make it smaller? :)
<Mat2ch>
no, constant controlled blowing them up helps here!
<Althego>
that would be that detonation engine thing
<Althego>
that scott talked about
<Mat2ch>
well, in a way it is constantly blowing up, just releasing the gases in a controlled way. ;)
