I am having some issues with my application.
<Guest96760>
It will start and load to the main menu, but clicking on any of the options results in nothing happening. I have re-installed KSP twice and even restarted my computer after an install
<XXCoder>
its cultivation type, except its a very funny take
<XXCoder>
an engineer student acciently gets invited into cultivation chat group. he stays in because he thinks its real funny chunnuis roleplaying and stuff
<XXCoder>
turns out people on it is real
<XXCoder>
ill post no more spoiler

I can't believe I'm actually running out of albator
<Neal>
yep burned off all the ablator on my 1.25m shield
<Althego>
lol
<Althego>
what did you do for that
<Althego>
not even a return from jool can do that

well, short lift off. Now cutting through a bolt...
<umaxtu>
should've used NASA's frangible nuts
<Mat2ch>
oh no
<Mat2ch>
SN 15 might go back to the build site :(
<umaxtu>
not surprised, they probably don't want to slow down construction by evacuating the site
<Mat2ch>
but what about SN 16 then?
* umaxtu
shrugs
<darsie>
How much payload will the orbital SS test have?
<darsie>
wrong chan ...
<Althego>
hehe wrong-chan, what a character
<darsie>
Frankenstein was the mad scientist. His creation was the "monster".

SN15's Raptors seem to need replaced.

m4v has quit [Ping timeout: 204 seconds]
mkv is now known as m4v
<Solar_Oracle>
The shielding scheme still seems optimistic.
<Solar_Oracle>
And I wish more people would understand that there's a lot more to getting to Mars than just getting into orbit. You know, like completing a life support system that will last at least a thousand days.
* raptop
assumes that Solar_Oracle encountered someone taking an overly reductive approach to that Heinlein quote
<Solar_Oracle>
Yeah, you're halfway to anywhere. Assuming, that is, that the delta-v to get to wherever you're going and brake is equal to Earth escape velocity.
<Solar_Oracle>
I think people tend to assume that, once you have the launch vehicle, that's it.
<Solar_Oracle>
Ignoring that the Saturn V was, what, about just 10% of the total Apollo program cost?
sandbox has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<Solar_Oracle>
Closer to 15% upon review, but still.
<raptop>
I can't say that I know the cost breakdown, but either way
<Solar_Oracle>
And sure, Starship's shielding is resistant to impacts, but that's not really much of a concern in its configuration as it was for the Shuttles and it introduces a new catastrophic failure mode.
<Solar_Oracle>
Honestly, adding ten years to anything involving spaceflight R&D seems to be right.
<raptop>
Yeah. Though also, companies can just die. (eg: Bigelow)
<FLHerne>
Solar_Oracle: To be fair, that Δv approximation is about right for most interesting places in the solar system, if you're not in too much of a hurry :p
<FLHerne>
aerobraking at the other end can help
<Solar_Oracle>
Jupiter is the most interesting place in the Solar System.
<FLHerne>
Well, you don't want to visit Jupiter proper
<Solar_Oracle>
Where else am I supposed to install an evil lair in an active volcano?
<Solar_Oracle>
If it's good enough for Jules Pierre Mao, it's good enough for us all.
<raptop>
...I guess Io is a very thematically appropriate location
<Solar_Oracle>
And, to be frank, the delta-v trick only seems to work for Venus, Mars and maybe the Belt. The former is not worth visiting unless you can tolerate melting to death.
<Solar_Oracle>
And since they're closer, transfer windows are more infrequent.
<Solar_Oracle>
The second most interesting place is also Saturn.
<Solar_Oracle>
Followed by Disney World in third.
<raptop>
Giving the mouse ideas?
<FLHerne>
raptop: Axiom are building hardware for their cupola thing
<FLHerne>
Solar_Oracle: You can do the atmospheric balloon thing
<FLHerne>
I'm not entirely sure what the point is, but it's a thing you can do
<raptop>
FLHerne: huh, I was expecting them to be a scam
<Solar_Oracle>
The balloon thing's always been kind of silly. At least a Mars could be built from local materials, and you cant do stuff on Mars.
<Solar_Oracle>
Uh, can do stuff.
<Solar_Oracle>
What can you do on Venus? Unless you put up a Tibanna gas refinery and casino, absolutely nothing.

* raptop
was amused
<Solar_Oracle>
This is why I never got fired as a travel agent for Venus Airlines.
<Solar_Oracle>
No one bothered showing up anyway.
<raptop>
Now I'm imaginging a future scandal about aerial casinos and if tethered dirigibles count
<raptop>
(compare with riverboat vs puddlebot casinos)
<raptop>
The whole floating cities thing really feels like it handwaves ΔV among other things in a way that habitats on the Moon/Mars do not
<Solar_Oracle>
Landing and takeoff would also be kind of a pain, since you can't exactly make decent fuel out of carbon-dioxide alone.
<Solar_Oracle>
And you'd also need a stable platform to land on. Unless you lithobrake.
<Solar_Oracle>
So you'd essentially be shipping in enough propellant for every launch, and it'd be nearly as much propellant per launch as it is for Earth right now.
<Solar_Oracle>
If you want a real space casino, just way for travel to Saturn to happen and put a giant resort hotel in a close, highly inclined orbit.
<Solar_Oracle>
At least people will have something to look at as they ponder how little money they have left for the penny slots after having spent a billion dollars getting there.
<Solar_Oracle>
Yeah, but it's far away. That's for the entry-level guests who couldn't afford the scrip needed to get the closer views.
<raptop>
hm
<Solar_Oracle>
I'd say a close orbit to Jupiter would be better, but we're not to the point where vict- I mean patrons won't die from turbo radiation yet.
<Solar_Oracle>
Or that could be part of the appeal. "Jovian Resort. You'll die to go there!"
