00:57 <funkenstein> ;mission

00:57 <LunchBot> You fix a wiring defect using nothing but blue electric tape. A groundbreaking research paper is written on the subject.

01:00 <funkenstein> ;mission add You right click the wrong part.

01:00 <LunchBot> Added mission: You right click the wrong part.

01:00 <funkenstein> ;mission

01:00 <LunchBot> You try to stream a full NASA mission. Rockomax is probably going to get fined for this.

01:03 <funkenstein> ;outcome add You find your self alone, ten years in the future, with no-one but the LunchBot to keep you company.

01:03 <LunchBot> Added outcome: You find your self alone, ten years in the future, with no-one but the LunchBot to keep you company.

01:04 <funkenstein> if that's too morose, let me know if you remove it

01:08 <raptop> ;outcome screams

01:08 <LunchBot> Wilhelm screams.

01:08 <raptop> ;outcome their screams

01:08 <LunchBot> Years later, you sometimes wake up in a cold sweat from the memories of their screams.

01:08 <raptop> well...

01:10 <XXCoder> ;mission

01:10 <LunchBot> You discover the Kraken's evil plot to process Kerbals into a meat product called "Kerbal Pops" Having decided you're quite good at rocket science, you conclude that the next logical step is to start manufacturing electric cars as well.

01:11 <XXCoder> lol

01:11 <SporkWitch> need to fix the mission portion; missing period made it confusing

01:11 <XXCoder> I wonder if musk would make human pops :P

01:16 <LunchBot> New text is: You discover the Kraken's evil plot to process Kerbals into a meat product called "Kerbal Pops."

01:16 <SporkWitch> There we go; sorry for the spam

05:24 <funkenstein> ;mission

05:24 <LunchBot> You ask if you can ask a question. You catastrophically disassemble.

05:24 <Althego> hehe

05:24 <funkenstein> justifiably

05:24 <Althego> couldnt take o the pwe of mea

05:25 <Althego> couldnt take on the power of meta

08:36 <FLHerne> ;outcome add You quit after 30 seconds.

08:36 <LunchBot> Added outcome: You quit after 30 seconds.

08:37 <Mat2ch> !mission

08:37 <LunchBot> You construct additional pylons. KwirkyJ deletes you.

08:38 <Mat2ch> KwirkyJ isn't here anymore...

08:49 <FLHerne> yeah, the old missions are pretty much a memorial to the people we've lost :-/

08:54 <XXCoder> ;mission

08:54 <LunchBot> You hail the probe. The explosion is staggeringly beautiful.

08:55 <XXCoder> it must have been enemy attacking probe

09:00 <FLHerne> no, it

09:01 <FLHerne> it's just that at interplanetary speeds, one hailstone has the kinetic energy of a pretty good bomb

09:28 <FLHerne> SporkWitch: fwiw, you don't have to include the entire line, just enough to be recently unique

09:29 <FLHerne> so s/Pops"/Pops"./ would be fine

10:08 <XXCoder> lol

10:56 <darsie> We could put 'KSP2: early 2023' in the topic :).

10:57 <Althego> nobody reads the topic anyway

11:09 <Mat2ch> but that was Bob Odenkirk

11:09 <Mat2ch> are you Bob Odenkirk?

11:12 <darsie> I am darsie.

12:26 <packbart> The other kids in the Elite forum taunt me for believing in KSP 2. Star Citizen will release first, they say

12:30 <FLHerne> lol

12:47 <Mat2ch> hehe

12:47 <Mat2ch> Star Citizen seems to be planned for March 2023, there is a chance

14:20 <raptop> !outcome add Your gyros saturate.

14:20 <LunchBot> Added outcome: Your gyros saturate.

14:21 <Mat2ch> Saturated gyros sounds delicious.

14:22 <packbart> better saturated gyros than starving gyros

14:23 <raptop> Saturating gyros with tzatziki sauce to ensure a successful lunch

14:42 <FLHerne> Mat2ch: yeah, but if there's one game more likely to be delayed for eternity than KSP2 it's Star Citizen

14:44 <Mat2ch> But they could just release it and make DLCs ;)

14:44 <Revelator> Wasn't that what they did with the ships?

14:49 <Mat2ch> weeeellll

14:49 <Mat2ch> technically... ;)

14:51 <Revelator> Kinda wonder how much of all the donation money is actually being used on the game tbh, I'd assume quite a bit

14:58 <Mat2ch> There are a lot of people working on it

14:58 <Mat2ch> and from what I've seen it is a lot they've done

17:04 <SporkWitch> FLHerne: i had no way of knowing how long ago it was, so i used the full text to be safe. I didn't create it, it was just a typo in an old one that made it, when combined with the outcome, a run-on sentence that was difficult to parse.

19:23 <FLHerne> SporkWitch: recent mentions count

19:24 <SporkWitch> good to know

19:45 <funkenstein> ;mission

19:45 <LunchBot> You cause Quatroking to add lots and lots of missions per unit time. Your efforts are mostly remembered through a humorous webcomic.

19:45 <funkenstein> ;mission

19:45 <LunchBot> You skim Jool's atmosphere. You die before witnessing man-made horrors within your comprehension.

19:46 <funkenstein> wait...I die BEFORE winessing...?

19:46 <raptop> Either you die before you have a chance to see them, or you get a very weird afterlife

20:12 <packbart> at least you'll comprehend all of it

20:12 <packbart> !mission

20:12 <LunchBot> You attempt to use the penrose process to power an interstellar spacecraft. You discover physics is a harsh mistress.

20:13 <Althego> true

20:13 <packbart> "The Penrose process (also called Penrose mechanism) is theorised by Sir Roger Penrose as a means whereby energy can be extracted from a rotating black hole." - I see

20:13 <raptop> That's a very good mission/outcome combination

20:13 <packbart> well, ships powered by portable black holes shouldn't be much of a problem

20:14 <packbart> you can even use the rotating hole instead of gyros

20:14 <Althego> is this when you shoot a spacecraft ina kind of u shaped trajectory around a black holeand it speeds up?

20:14 <packbart> sort of, I think. I only skimmed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_process

20:14 <raptop> It is!

20:15 <Althego> but you need interstellar travel to get to the black hole first

20:15 <raptop> black hole's angular momentum -> spacecraft linear momentum

20:15 <raptop> Althego: minor detail!

20:15 <Althego> so anyway interstellar travel and black holes, yes, you are going to discover it is hard to do

20:15 <packbart> Althego: well, or we could increase power at the LHC and just make a handful of holes and spin them around

20:15 <packbart> :)

20:16 <Althego> hehe

20:16 <Althego> it is not going higher for some 6 years or so

20:16 <raptop> heh

20:17 <Althego> oh wait, not even then, because the upgrade still need to happen

20:27 <Pinkbeast> Doesn't the spacecraft take _quite a lot_ of gravities here?

20:30 <raptop> Let's just assume that the spacecraft is a test particle or 2, so we can ignore tidal effects

20:30 <Pinkbeast> And conveniently this will reduce the amount of effort involved in getting it there

20:31 <raptop> >_>

20:31 <raptop> <_<

21:16 <Mat2ch> Tomorrow we will get the first JWST images!

21:25 <packbart> .oO("ʇɥᵷᴉꞁɟ ǝɹoɟǝq ǝʌoɯǝᴚ")

21:51 <Pinkbeast> Oh joy long LV-N burns

22:54 <funkenstein> ;mission

22:54 <LunchBot> You decide to solve your problems with violence. A two solar mass black hole passes Kerbin and flings you into space. Kerbin's orbit is unaffected.

22:54 <funkenstein> baby got mass lol

22:55 <funkenstein> ;mission

22:55 <LunchBot> You accidentally ignite an entire cargo bay filled with thermite while in orbit. Kerbals nuke Earth from orbit, just to be sure.

22:55 <funkenstein> so much orbit

23:08 <FLHerne> Pinkbeast: yeah, KSP2's ability to timewarp under thrust will be amazing

23:10 <Pinkbeast> FLHerne: Eh, we've got Persistent Thrust now, but the burns are in the sour spot where it's not bad enough to fiddle with the modset but it is a looong wait

23:54 <FLHerne> something weird happened with SpaceX's B7

23:55 <FLHerne> it went off unexpectedly and set fire to the pad
