10:55 <flayer> with the persistent rotation mod its a lot easier to do maneuvers with very little reaction wheel action

10:58 <flayer> sometimes i feel really nervous that i only have a rudimentary understanding of how the universe works

11:04 <sandbox> how does it work?

11:05 <darsie> We haven't figured it out completely, yet.

11:06 <flayer> and that isn't unnerving to you?

11:06 <darsie> Like relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible, so they're incomplete.

11:06 <darsie> no

11:06 <flayer> I'm not even sure how taxes work

11:07 <darsie> You could learn that if it's important to you.

11:07 <flayer> let alone relatively and quantum mechanics, or the fact that they're incomplete

11:07 <flayer> lmao

11:07 <darsie> relativity*

11:07 <flayer> yeah

11:09 <darsie> It's very complex and our minds are limited. We're the first species advancing this much to worry about such things. Maybe future beings will figure it out.

11:10 <darsie> We can live without such knowledge.

11:11 <darsie> We can do simpler things, like figure out why fairings have high drag in KSP if they're the root part.

11:15 <flayer> i don't understand how any of that works either - how do they make it have drag on the magic light surface that I'm looking at?

11:15 <flayer> wat.

11:16 <flayer> i'm no stranger to coding, but there's a huge part in this process that i don't fully grasp

11:20 <darkie> It's not magic, it's technology. Magic doesn't exist. Well, depending on how magic is defined. If it's something some people can do and others can't, then sure it exists. But I rather view magic as violations of the laws of nature and if magic existed, then it would just be more laws of nature and thus not be magic.

11:21 <flayer> it's /weird/

12:37 <darkie> 1337

12:37 <Althego> .

12:37 <darkie> .

13:03 <flayer> alright, time for air

13:03 <Althego> dont, oxygen just kills you fatser

13:37 <sandbox> fatser 1337

14:06 <Althego> kikkerikii

14:14 <Althego> lol way to go. using hot glue to make a gingerbread house

14:39 <Mat2ch> Althego: ewww

14:39 <Mat2ch> the forbidden sugar icing...

14:40 <Althego> it is still not haachama cooking...

14:42 <Mat2ch> and I just don't want to know. :D

14:42 <Mat2ch> There might be a S20 static fire today.

14:42 <Mat2ch> How many static fires did we see with it yet? 3?

14:48 <bees> darkie: You put a spaceplane into a regular plane to see whether it is somehow different from the usual metaplaning. A small dog accidentally eats the subsequent interstellar war.

14:52 <darkie> Infocom HH reference

14:54 <Mat2ch> So many of them

14:54 <darkie> The lower 6.

14:58 <darkie> There was an annoying noseprint on them which I tried to clean off, but then I thought, ah, I'll clean them fully.

15:10 <Mat2ch> John Madden died...

15:10 <sandbox> again?

15:10 <Mat2ch> Please elaborate

15:10 <Althego> "again?" that was used in stargate when they mention daniel jackson would die to see this, or something like that

16:19 <Mat2ch> https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1476194840018890756

16:19 <Mat2ch> nice!

16:21 <Althego> if they can get 10 years out of it, then i would say it was exceptionally successful

16:28 <flayer> hrm

18:08 <Althego> so they did something

18:09 <Althego> can be a 6 engine test, or a 3

20:09 <FLHerne> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FHzLDYRaIAAxI8B?format=jpg&name=orig

20:09 <FLHerne> *scronch*

20:10 <Althego> yes, looks quite sad

20:10 <darkie> Bad landing?

20:10 <darkie> Or slipped?

20:10 <Althego> the landing seemed to be fine

20:10 <Althego> but now it is tilted

20:11 <FLHerne> I don't see how the octagrabber could have got underneath if the damage was against the deck on landing

20:12 <FLHerne> Looks like a leg's given away after driving the robot underneath

20:12 <FLHerne> s/away/way/

20:18 <Mat2ch> or some wave made the whole ship throw the booster around and the crush core of one of the legs got further crushed

21:16 <Izaya> Nuclear shuttle is fully assembled in orbit! [cw ussr inspired flag] https://shadowkat.net/tmp/Wg7P.jpg

21:17 <raptop> big shuttle

21:18 <Izaya> not sure if I want to expand this one to the full 9 tanks or use it for KLO-LMO operations

21:21 <Izaya> And then there's the multi-docking module to work out. Maybe it needs to go to the station, provide more docking ports.

22:37 <Mat2ch> firey afternoon in Boca Chica...

22:39 <darkie> Was there fire?

22:39 <Mat2ch> in the stream before...

22:39 <darkie> Says Test aborted.

22:39 <Mat2ch> they already did a static fire and now they aborted, but we're waiting for another

22:41 <darkie> can't find it.

22:49 <Mat2ch> https://youtu.be/AC3tbUnEyfM?t=3965

22:49 <Mat2ch> here you go

22:49 <darkie> thx <3
