yes
<TwistenX>
why do you need 3 accounts lmao
<JVFoxy>
I landed kerbals on the mountains behind the center. But it isn't your usual flying machine. 8 engines, two mk1 command pods, whole lot of wrestling with gyros
<umbralraptop>
multiple nicks so that I can deal with connection issues in various ways, but also laziness about setting up a bouncer
<TwistenX>
oh ok
<TwistenX>
JVFoxy: which engines?
<JVFoxy>
Junos
<TwistenX>
nice
<JVFoxy>
The wheezers cause too much problems aerodynamically
<JVFoxy>
also... the don't get enough air when stationary
<TwistenX>
guess the name fits
<JVFoxy>
ya but they really do good low and slow
<TwistenX>
sea-level rated jet engines
<JVFoxy>
basically I built a jet powered vtol thing. I've gotten good enough to get behind the power lag to do soft landings
<TwistenX>
drone
<JVFoxy>
trouble is, my usual 'tube with jet engines' can be a bit of a pain when it comes to landing vertically
<TwistenX>
part clipping
<TwistenX>
B)
<JVFoxy>
latest, I laid the body horizontal, and engines vertically. A nightmare to keep stable in flight and slower but.. now I'm not having to worry about tipping on landing
<TwistenX>
put some engines vertically and horizontally
<JVFoxy>
jeb and bob... got some science done on the mountains. Though seems I already got crew report from previous landing? I'm guessing from orbit?
<JVFoxy>
With the engines inline with the body, it pushes about 600+m/s easily. I've had one case where I was stalling an engine or two cuz of the speed a while back

I have done a little drone type car thing, using 8 juno's, 2 on each of the I-beam struts
<JVFoxy>
used the inline cockpit..
<TwistenX>
I-Beams can take one hell of a beating
TristenX has joined #KSPOfficial
<TwistenX>
wow would you look at that it's me but on my phone
<JVFoxy>
I have done more traditional craft though. Bullet (sort of a race car of the sky): https://imgur.com/a/ominrCL
<TristenX>
the maneuverable bullet
<TwistenX>
why is it that the first comet that appears in the tracking station is always spawned in the same area in nearly all save files
<JVFoxy>
elevator on the back is interesting.. use both for takeoff-landing. turn one off while in high speed flight. Otherwise the extra control wrecks havoc with the SAS
<TristenX>
one of the rockets i built did a backflip because it wasn't sure which probe it was supposed to control from so their reaction wheels were just fighting each other
<TristenX>
i also encountered something weird when the rocket crashed
<TwistenX>
It said
<JVFoxy>
start building a rocket with probe control, add a command pod. Everythings fine at launch. Later, load same craft, oh look Jeb hi-jack's the seat like usual

I was time warping. I didn't slow it down soon enough. Craft ended up nearly 300 km under ground. Craft crushed by 1.5million kilo pascals or something. I got a screen shot but its on other system
<TwistenX>
That's quarter-way through Kerbin
<JVFoxy>
TwistenX just be glad, in the days, was a presision error, or at least we think that was causing it, craft wings would clip the VAB even though you were still on approach to the runway 3 km out.
<TwistenX>
physics
<JVFoxy>
also psycho colors from graphics glitches. loaded on launch pad in a version not long ago, guessing image map for pad surface didn't load right
<JVFoxy>
Mind you, Danny has done some far worse things, surprised copy on their system didn't just give up the ghost then and htere
<TwistenX>
anyone could've been Danny2464 back then
<TwistenX>
glitchy af
<TwistenX>
also I'm gonna make a Rocket Simulator game that's gonna be similar to KSP, but in 2D
<JVFoxy>
a lot of people doing bases on other planets/moons. I'd like to maybe do a polar station, but it has to be maintained with supplies and slowly upgraded.
<JVFoxy>
I'd done a few crafts with help of Airplanes+ mod. Trouble was, how to ship a helo out there by plane. Tiny heli, turns out anything bigger, I would have to ship by boat over. Most of the rotors wouldn't fit in the cargo containers I had at the time.
<TwistenX>
i cant download mods :,)
<JVFoxy>
eh
<TwistenX>
ksp console gang rise up
<XXCoder>
heh ill never forget my snowflake. no engine at all besides short initial rocket
<XXCoder>
extreme speed, and highest it went is over 100k
<TwistenX>
ok

man it was so broken

canard plane with single wheezer, do'n 530m/s.. wee
<JVFoxy>
might do a twin engine.. got some time to spare cuz its dark, before I do my mun mission
<TwistenX>
what do you think would happen to you if you ate a bunch of mentos and then jumped into a pool of coca cola
<umbralraptop>
you'd be covered in coca-cola
<darsie>
Your blood sugar would rise and you'd waste a big amount of a bad drink.
<TwistenX>
you wouldnt explode or anything?

cuz you'd be dead
armed_troop has quit [Quit: Bye]
<TwistenX>
also i want some context, darsie
<FLHerne>
I hear swallowing liquid nitrogen is bad for you
armed_troop has joined #KSPOfficial
<FLHerne>
not so much because it's cold, but because it vaporises and expands in your stomach
<TwistenX>
what did you mean when you said "." after i said i was gonna remaster Sonic.EXE a few days ago?
<FLHerne>
so maybe consuming both coca-cola and mentos would be bad, but isn't the cola's role just to be acidic?
<FLHerne>
your stomach is more acidic
<FLHerne>
so probably just don't eat too many mentos
<TwistenX>
stomach explosion
<darsie>
. means I said nothing.
<FLHerne>
Hm, on further research I was completely wrong about what's happening there :p
<TwistenX>
ah, but that means you saw what i said
<darsie>
Probably.
<TwistenX>
liquid nitrogen: bad
<TwistenX>
gas nitrogen: literally over 70% of our atmosphere
<umbralraptop>
Mind the something like 700x expansion in volume when liquid nitrogen boils
<TwistenX>
the gas expands, or the liquid?
<umbralraptop>
The expansion when it turns from a liquid into a gas
<TwistenX>
so gas nitrogen has a larger volume and much less density than liquid nitrogen?
<darsie>
yes
<TwistenX>
ok
<TwistenX>
your bot is broken, FLHerne
<FLHerne>
No it isn't
<TwistenX>
lunchbot?
<darsie>
.tell FLHerne your bot is broken.
<TwistenX>
it doesn't say anything when i tell it "/wenhop"
<FLHerne>
good
<TwistenX>
???
<TwistenX>
how is that good
<FLHerne>
It shouldn't, so if it did I'd wonder why
<FLHerne>
and have to fix that
<TwistenX>
oh
<TwistenX>
how come the tracking station will say that you're on an escape trajectory out of Kerbol, but Kerbol's SOI is infinite?
<darsie>
It's not infinit. At least in stock.
<darsie>
ohh, Kerbol.
<darsie>
Well, because you reached escape velocity.
<darsie>
Kerbol slows you down, but you keep falling up.
<TwistenX>
ohh
<TwistenX>
falling but never landing: simplest way to explain orbital mechanics
<darsie>
When you throw a wrench away in space, it's attracted to you, but not enough to turn around. It'll keep falling away from you.
<TwistenX>
that's cause your escape velocity is too low
<darsie>
There may be other forces, too.
<darsie>
yes
<darsie>
Or because you threw it too fast.
<darsie>
Two platinum spheres can orbit each other within a few hours.
<TwistenX>
although, you are pulling anything's atoms off that is within a few inches of your center of mass
<darsie>
I wouldn't say that.
<TwistenX>
but VSauce Michael told me that
<darsie>
Well, a few inches from my CoM may be inside me.
<TwistenX>
maybe not a few inches
<TwistenX>
it depends on your mass and density ig
<darsie>
Tidal forces can tear a body apart.
<TwistenX>
yes
<TwistenX>
if you threw a rock into orbit around earth, would that make it a natural satellite?
<TwistenX>
small rock*
<darsie>
A natural satellite is in the most common usage, an astronomical body that orbits a planet, dwarf planet, or small solar system body (or sometimes another natural satellite).
<TwistenX>
so that's a yes
<darsie>
It probably didn't consider your scenario.
umbralraptop has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]

i dont think it did
<TwistenX>
i think it has to be placed their by gravity and not an interfering force (i.e. a human throwing it into space)
<darsie>
What if we redirected an asteroid into an Earth orbit?
<TwistenX>
natural-artificial
<TwistenX>
both
<TwistenX>
it was artificially placed, yet naturally "constructed" in space

UmbralRaptor has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]

not for terribly long, probably until the next Mars-to-Earth transfer window
<darsie>
ok
<darsie>
How much would you pay for it?
<TwistenX>
as much as it costs
<darsie>
ok

why?

its easy when its not your money you're spending

no reason

just curious

hmmm
<TwistenX>
how much is one of those flights on the Virgin Spaceplane right now?
<darsie>
For some it's millions. For some it's free.
<TwistenX>
i dont have very many millions to spend
