hello

How is the most umbral of raptor's laptops?
<UmbralRaptop>
\o
<UmbralRaptop>
(technically this is a phone)
<X>
Sorcery
<X>
I remember the days back in 2006 when I had to bring my laptop around everywhere.
<X>
It was a convertible.
<UmbralRaptop>
I mean, there were IRC clients for Treos
<X>
Wasn't the blackberry out by then, however?
<UmbralRaptop>
yeah, that too
<X>
I had some cheap flip phone, then some super tiny flip phone, then the charm, then the pearl, then the curve, then the z10, then the z30, then the iphone 6, then the 7, then the 12.

meh. Maemo wasn't perfect but you could easily apt-get install openvpn and xchat and had a mobile connection to the same irssi(-proxy) IRC session

Does anyone know if there are any plugins that calculate interplanetary phase angles?
<Redshield5>
I tried to download protractor and apparently it doesn’t work with new versions of KSP
<Redshield5>
But estimating these phase angles visually is just not going to cut it for me anymore

MechJeb computes it internally for planetary transfers, not sure if it's displayed anywhere. Astrogator and Kerbal Alarm Clock maybe
<darsie>
Why would a spacecraft need a solar system "GPS"? They have stars and planets. Maybe signal delays give you more accurate distance/location.
<Althego>
i think you dont need that
<darsie>
And once you know your trajectory you can use GMAT to predict it.
<Althego>
there was some video, maybe anton petrov, somehow you can use quasars for positioning
<darsie>
But that won't tell you the inaccuracies so you can do correction maneuvers.
<raptop>
I mean, you want to use quasars etc for setting up the reference system since they should be far enough to have a parallax of 0
<raptop>
But I'm not 100% up on the way astronomical coordiate systems are established >_>;;
<darsie>
There are two use cases. You want to arrive at your destination and you want to point you antenna correctly.
<darsie>
The reflection of Scott's circular light in his eyes is ... interesting :).
<raptop>
Ring shaped lights are popular for that purpose
<Althego>
so why are they ring shaped?
<Althego>
maybe you can stick a camera through the middle?
<darsie>
To soften shadows, I think.
<raptop>
Probably
<raptop>
though as a sometimes umbralraptor, I feel obligated to stab things with shadows
<darsie>
You could drown htings with soft shadows.
<raptop>
I guess one could also mess around with light boxen/diffusers
* raptop
will continue to use "boxen" until it becomes a valid plural in English

In RO/RSS I used separate procedural computers for first and second stage, but there wasn't enough avionics. I had to have the whole control with the first stage avionics.
immibis has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<darsie>
Adn another time for the second stage.
<darsie>
Adn another time for just the second stage.
immibis has joined #KSPOfficial
<darsie>
Adn extra avionics for the second stage.
<raptop>
O_o O_O o_O
<darsie>
I tried to correct.
<packbart>
Kerbal rockets just pull a long wire through space. all the avionic are safe at the KSC

Won't work without crew or computer.
