the new EVA building stuff is pretty neat
03:02
* raptop
really needs to explore things like EVA construction, fireworks, etc at some point
03:02

...also ISRU
03:05

I wonder if anyone has done an orion drive using fireworks modules
03:05
<
Izaya >
like, an actual designed for use one rather than abusing robotics controllers to make it eject at the speed of light
03:05
<
packbart >
well, the usual suspects have done fireworks drives
03:06
<
packbart >
but I don't quite remember if they use KAL overdrive
03:07
<
raptop >
I think so for Isp porpoises
03:08
<
raptop >
huh, not danny
03:08
<
packbart >
I think the Stratzenblitzer did some experiments, too
03:11
<
packbart >
Izaya: yeah, that video doesn't match
03:12
<
packbart >
I guess the craft needs to be very light for unmodified fireworks to, uhh, work
03:12
<
packbart >
or you'd need to fire a lot of them at once

lol. To quieten down Blue Origin they now get money to develop a private space station...
10:47
<
Althego >
cry enough and somebody will give you money
10:48
<
packbart >
I never learned how to do that. Maybe there's a tutorial on Youtube
10:51
<

you do not have the right friends / connection network...
10:52

I wonder if someone elses space station would have been better than BO's.
10:54
<
kubi >
at this point of time, who created the most fancy slideshow?
10:55
<
kubi >
it is similar now to the medieval ages when merchants are lobbying for money to get a couple of ships together and sail to the west
10:57
<
kubi >
in short term lots of forests were cut, many died, a few got rich(er)
10:58
<
packbart >
at least Blue Origin's space station will have an Amazon Store
11:00
<
Althego >
now i wouldnt believe any promise blue origin comes up with
11:00
<
darsie >
What kind of space station? Rotating?
11:01
<
kubi >
amazon store is a marketplace where the marketplace owner does not take too much responsibility
11:02
<
packbart >
kubi: they do have a few offline brick'n mortar stores
11:02
<
packbart >
or maybe they'd make it a warehouse on polar orbit. just drop the deliveries at the right moment
11:03
<
kubi >
yes, that would be the best idea ever
11:04
<
kubi >
making the IBCM defense systems crazy :)
11:04
<
packbart >
orbital bombardment? nah, just my latest Amazon package

Fry some food during deorbit?

Got my cute little spaceplane docked to my LKO station. Only took me four hours of screwing around with maneuver nodes.

Izaya: that is the trick with SSTO spaceplanes, heh; not a lot of leftover delta-V, so unless you time your launch well, you're going to be waiting a while for a good rendesvous

littering the surface of Mars with plastics and soon micro plastics. :D
17:41

I wonder in which year the "Cleanup Mars" projects launches
17:42
<
raptop >
There's going to be a weird overlap between acheology and site cleanup at some point for both the Moon and Mars
17:42
<
Althego >
i was just thinking about that
17:43
<
Althego >
cleanup will be resisted by consetvationists
17:43
<
Althego >
who want to keep the landing sistes
17:43
<

and the resting places of the rovers
17:51

And someone will try to get Hubble back in a museum. ;)
17:54
<
Mat2ch >
and they are back at testing B2.1 tank, again. Hasn't popped yet :(
17:54
<

And do you remember the time when there was a dedicated stream for those tests?

Does the Hubble fit in a Neutron fairing?
21:17
<

isn't a Neutron fairing a bit heavy?
21:19
<
darsie >
idk. It opens, releases the second stage an closes.
21:31

SporkWitch: not even a SSTO, just a booster-launched plane
21:32

if we want to get Hubble back, we need a Starship.

Scientists are starting to plan missions for Starship. Huge space exploration missions
