00:33 <LunchBot> You spam meow. The colours here really speak to you. Like, *really* speak to you. In words.

00:34 <Azander> The Space HEap has Spoken.. Meeeow!

00:57 <XXCoder> nyyyancat!

01:06 <LunchBot> You wish you knew how it would feel to be free. You fail ISO 9000 certification due to your complete lack of formal process or even any documentation of your space program.

01:06 <XXCoder> so thats what freedom is like

03:09 <darsie> Jeb collected a light stone on Tylo, got back up with the lander/ascender and switched to the return vehicle: http://0x0.st/HLR0.png

09:35 <Izzy> Anyone know if Making Less History works in 1.12?

09:35 <Izzy> I'm on a ... memory constrained system, so saving 300M from a system I don't use would be nice.

10:23 <Izzy> Hmm, 45FPS with just EVE and Parallax, no Scatterer. Not great, not terrible.

11:32 <Mat2ch> Those small crafts are always impressive by their minimalism

11:32 <darsie> Ion propulsion ftw :)

11:34 <darsie> Unfortunately multi burn departures are hard to "simulate" in KSP.

11:35 <darsie> Worked out for departure to Jool wit NERV, though.

11:45 <Mat2ch> multiburn?

11:47 <darsie> https://0x0.st/HLhv.png

11:47 <darsie> https://0x0.st/HLh3.png

11:47 <darsie> Yeah, when you can't do it in one burn because your TWR is too low and a burn might take 15 min.

11:48 <Izzy> is ... is it bad I'm considering running KSP through Proton-GE so I can force FSR onto it?

11:48 <Mat2ch> Oh, I think I know what you mean. Splitting one long burn into several small ones

11:48 <darsie> FSR?

11:48 <darsie> yes

11:48 <Izzy> FidelityFX Super Resolution

11:48 <Izzy> AMD's upscaling system

11:51 <Izzy> basically, running the windows version of the game on linux by converting DirectX to Vulkan on the fly all so I can run the game at a lower resolution and maybe squeeze a few more frames out of it that way, without it looking totally terrible.

11:51 <darsie> The lander was 2-stage and the first stage burned out shortly before landing. Crashed a few times till I raised my initial altitude.

11:52 <darsie> The ion return vehicle remained in orbit.

11:56 <darsie> Tylo light stone: http://0x0.st/HLhI.png

11:57 <darsie> I wonder how Jeb put that in his pocket.

13:41 <darsie> I opened the throttle fully and nothing happened. Have to activate the engine.

13:41 <darsie> Space is hard.

13:46 <Mat2ch> If you have to do everything by hand, yes.

13:46 <Mat2ch> It gets a bit easier if computers do the things

14:00 <darsie> The pros use checklists.

14:00 <darsie> And still lithobreak.

14:01 <darsie> That split burn departure failed. I started 3 orbits earlier thinking my 4th burn would be at the right place, but I forgot that my orbits get longer.

14:03 <darsie> Maybe I can measure how long these burns take and start early by that.

14:09 <Mat2ch> There was a mod to split long burns into several small ones and leave at the right time...

14:35 <LunchBot> You receive a tentacle-written note from the Kraken requesting the random detachment of 8937 control surfaces, or else. The surface of Kerbin disappears, turning the planet into a naked singularity.

14:36 <Eddi|zuHause> man, i was soooo close to 8937 control surfaces...

14:41 <Althego> lol

14:41 <LunchBot> You attempt to calculate your trajectory with a 47-adic number; but the only thing that happens is a series of unfortunate "accidents" attributed to someone called "Kerbal 47". Suse vivo vixi victum reduco is ea id creatura absit decessus a facultas Linux! Dev root, dev root!

14:42 <FLHerne> nah, it's just that your scheme collapsed

14:42 <FLHerne> earlier you accidentally destroyed the surface of Kerman, and covered it in control surfaces so no-one would find out

21:54 <LunchBot> On your way home you are low on propellant, so you tell an engineer to go on EVA and remove some superfluous parts like landing legs. Your slide rule is signed by the president, becoming a slide law.

21:55 <Mat2ch> Looks like we made it back then

22:04 <raptop> Looks like ditching the landing legs gave you enough additional Δv

22:05 <Mat2ch> I might have told them to remove even more.

22:05 <Mat2ch> !mission

22:05 <LunchBot> Your boss doesn't understand the concept of asynchronous communication -- annoying enough in normal email, but now you're on Laythe... It's a complete failure, but at least the annoying earworm stays with you all day.

22:06 <raptop> I feel like we can reconstruct the intermediate steps in this case

22:06 <Mat2ch> I don't remember that email at all...

22:06 <raptop> !8ball slam a craft into Gilly at 30+ km/s?

22:06 <LunchBot> It's more likely than Donald Trump becoming President.

22:06 <raptop> uh

22:08 <Mat2ch> I mean 30 km/s is fast...

22:09 <darsie> Why is a maneuver planned for 'Y476, D303, 04:29:51' given as '466y, 302d, 04:29371' in the 'Text maneuver editor'? I guess years and days start at 0 internally but are displayed starting at 1, but what's with the time of day?

22:10 <darsie> The stop watch button next to it says 'UT displayed in y:ddd:hh:mm:ss'.

22:45 <darsie> Ok, I succeeded with the seconds entry.

22:45 <darsie> thx

22:46 <darsie> I made programs to convert between date/time to seconds to do calculations.

22:55 <FLHerne> I had a few thoughts but none of them work out

23:00 <LunchBot> You try putting racing stripes, R-Type stickers, and a fat exhaust on your rocket to improve performance. YOU'RE WINNER !
