nice just got blocked by shuttle almanac on twitter
<Rokker>
what a loser
<umaxtu>
what did you do?
<SporkWitch>
it's twitter, he probably blinked wrong; if he'd committed the heinous offense of saying "ok dude" he'd have been banned
<Rokker>
umaxtu: I decided to point out he was being a bit of a cringe fedora wearing reddit atheist
nasonfish has quit [Quit: My MacBook Air has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<umaxtu>
oh boy. that will do it
<Rokker>
eh I didn't say it like that
<Rokker>
but he was being your standard r/atheism user
<Izaya>
about the bible quote from the NASA ... director after the JWST launch?
<Rokker>
yes
<Rokker>
apparently it was an "insult to millions"
<Izaya>
I thought it was really nice
<Rokker>
nope
<Rokker>
insult to millions
<Izaya>
t. solidly in the "if there is a god we should kill it" camp
<Rokker>
I responded with "Don't you have some Apollo astronauts to sue or something?"
<umaxtu>
lol
* flayer
releases some gas
<flayer>
pfft that feels better
<flayer>
it's just not right

XXCoder: You must gather your party before venturing forth. You are bored to death.
<XXCoder>
boring party prep eh
<darsie>
ksp 1.12.3 crashed.

This is where you realize that UmbralRaptop is a fan of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale
<UmbralRaptop>
…gather your boosters before launching forth?

Not enough fuel to return from the surface of Dres.
<Izaya>
A lot of the part descriptions mention stuff being cobbled together from what was laying around or it being found on the side of the road.
<Izaya>
I literally just assembled an orbital tug from spare parts in my station's inventory.
<darsie>
:)
<raptop>
excellent
<Izaya>
it's a tiny bit lopsided but who's keeping count, right?
<packbart>
as long as the SAS can handle the thrust asymmetry, it's ok
<Izaya>
I'll just slap some RCS thrusters onto whatever I'm moving around
<Izaya>
it'll be fine
<darsie>
With a gimbal it should be possible to thrust at the CoM.
<darsie>
irl
<Izaya>
Also, can I get the CoM overlay while in flight?
<darsie>
I don't think so.
* raptop
wonders if FAR has something like that
<Izaya>
Behold, the scrap goblin built out of the spare parts from the station core's propulsion module and the multi-docking adapter's brains https://shadowkat.net/tmp/xOy7.jpg
<raptop>
I like how the small space planes(?) are doing Progress impressions
<packbart>
well, again, MechJeb can show CoM, CoL etc. in flight. Even ignoring the automation functions, it offers a lot of useful stuff. I'd never fly without it ;)
<Izaya>
Also got a big surplus of the round external monoprop tanks. Might convert one of these orbital operations pods into an inter-orbit thinger.
<Izaya>
the radially docked pods are the uhhhh
<Izaya>
well they're somewhere between a ballistic reentry capsule and a glider, I guess?
<Izaya>
the wings don't generate much lift but they make it easier to aim where I want to go
<Izaya>
makes it easier to splash down near the KSC
<raptop>
Ooh, for cross-range
<Izaya>
yee
<Izaya>
but yeah with all these spare monoprop tanks I might strap em to one of those pods and use it to transfer some people to the Minmus station
<Izaya>
should be able to put enough fuel for like 1.2km/s of dV on one pod with some extra tanks
