raptop: You construct a solar death ray. You successfully lower the speed of light to 1 m/s. However, your subsequent excited rush out of your lab to announce your findings goes very badly for you.

I should probably have tried to raise the speed of light to make the death ray more effective

XXCoder: You are contracted to remove all asteroids from the Kerbol system. The IRC server crashes.

In retrospect, having every asteroid announce its position over IRC was a mistake

XXCoder: You confuse brachistochrone and brachiosaur trajectories. You somehow end up in Dilbert space.

indeed

oh you guys saw new baba is you update?

i made my first level lol XGNF-4XE4

should try out baba is you at some point

raptop: An 80 tonne sauropod collides with your space station at 120 km/s.
<XXCoder>
depends on you, but could be hell of a fun
<darsie>
That's pretty slow.
<darsie>
ohh, km/s, not km/h.
<XXCoder>
meh just 60*60 times faster ;)
<darsie>
I dare you to get anything to 120 km/s.
<raptop>
That is, of course, the outcome to go with the brachiosaur trajectory joke
<XXCoder>
lol

points a flashlight at darsie

(or are photons overkill?)

goes to sleep.

'night

wow light causes dars to sleep ;)

hi
<Mod9000>
Hello, trace
<trace>
I asked in another ##physics how to 3d model a space station realistically
<raptop>
There's a risk in that a lot of space station assembly here involves assembly of quasi-lego parts under relatex Δv, thermal, etc constraints
<raptop>
Also that historically most stations were launched fully assembled
<trace>
good to know
<trace>
raptop, but maybe this wont forever
<raptop>
*checking notes*: Skylab, Salyuts 1-5, and Tiangong 1&2 all had no orbital assembly. Salyut 7, and arguably 6 sorta did with the TKS spacecraft
<trace>
in 400 or so deep space 9 is going to be built and you know it looks different ;)
<raptop>
Mir, the ISS, and the very in-progress Chinese space station do assembly
<raptop>
(Or did, rather, for Mir)
<trace>
soner or later we build stations that shall build stations or space crafts
<raptop>
Presumably, though I don't know what the best resources for the construction details of something like Island 1 would be
<trace>
Isn't it best for artificial gravitation to use a torus with maximum radius?
<raptop>
AIUI, once you get above some size, coriolis forces are less of a big deal and so going with a cylinder gets you more land area for unit mass
<raptop>
Stability would very much depend on the dimensions, and I'm rusty on Euler angles and the like
<trace>
so greater size means you need to spin faster for an equivalent artificial graviation?

<raptop>
Faster in m/s, slower in rad/s
<raptop>
assuming I didn't mess up the math, v = sqrt(a*r) but θ' = sqrt(a/r)
<trace>
great, that was what I wanted to know
<trace>
would it make sense to have multiple torus in one plain circle?
<trace>
with different radius?
<trace>
maybe if you want different artificial gravitation
<raptop>
Maybe!
<raptop>
You described the obvious reason, but getting into the motivations for wanting that would probably require some worldbuilding
<a_flayer>
nice, <200m/s rendezvous in LKO about 5 minutes after launch
<raptop>
If this is about spinlaunch, I was laughing at them until they started building/testing hardware
<raptop>
yep, it is
<packbart>
yeah, it is
<packbart>
I don't like the Thunder guy anyway. He loves to rant for clicks
<trace>
why is the torus always that way that its a circle in a circle. Isn't it possible that the area where you have that artificial gracity become much borader? so that it would look like a cylinder from outside?
<SporkWitch>
lol, gg Konversation, here i am thinking this channel is just dead if i'm not inanely rambling about my basic KSP accomplishments, and it actually just lost connection and never told me and took me multiple days to notice lol
