hhhhh you know what I could go for? a 1.875m refinery. one that can be surface attached to, because for whatever reason the 2.5m one can't be.
<Althego>
cubic octagonal struts always solve attachment problems one way or another

yeah. lighting made it look like it was asteroid docking for a while LOL
<Izzy>
screw it, time to make my own 1.875m refinery
<Izzy>
gonna scale down the 3.75m one and make the efficiency match the Mk2 one

You decide to go have lunch, leaving MechJeb to execute your maneuver burns unsupervised. An 80 tonne sauropod collides with your space station at 120 km/s.
<XXCoder>
wow wonder what steps mechjeb took
<XXCoder>
;mission
<LunchBot>
You build an inertial guidance system and proceed to launch missiles with it at your opponents. You stumble upon a team of faux-scientists arguing dimensions.
<XXCoder>
hmmm
<XXCoder>
they started debating after system was built I guess
<Eddi|zuHause>
XXCoder: we'll never know what steps he took, because nobody looked.
<XXCoder>
yep
<Eddi|zuHause>
that's why every programmer who automates things spends the rest of the time watching the thing automatically doing its thing

XXCoder: mechjeb autocompleted "brachistochrone" as "brachiosaur"
<Izzy>
ah yes, the brachiosaur trajectory: slow ramp up at the low end, a plateau in the middle, then a very long S shape at the end

so in a sense autocomplete caused it

You sell your soul to the devil in exchange for skill in aerospace engineering. The rescue mission has to wait until after the Kraken dined.

dont look like mission was a success

You confuse 'corium' with 'corundum' and embark on a woefully ill-advised expedition to Chernobyl to mine for sapphires. Your engineers accidentally pour the contents of a hypergolic fuel tank into a blender.
<XXCoder>
confusion all around I guess
<raptop>
sounds like the normal level of safety for that sort of thing

You take a wrong turn at Alcubierre. Not even Scott Manley can save you now.
<Mat2ch>
yeah, because he believes that the drive doesn't work.
<raptop>
Either that, or you decided to visit Mr Alcubierre directly, and are now lost in Mexico
<Mat2ch>
I'm not sure if I want to be lost in Mexico.
<Mat2ch>
I don't have a passport...

You hire florks to assist in designing your orbiters and landers. Sie Kraken ist nicht zufrieden mit.
<Mat2ch>
It's quiet common here. If you don't travel outside the Schengen Agreement or EU countries you just need your personal identity card
<raptop>
huh
<Mat2ch>
and since passports are expensive and you ought to have an identity card, many people here just don't bother about the passport
<raptop>
So I guess you'd need one to go to the UK?
<Mat2ch>
now, yes.
<Mat2ch>
before Brexit, no
<Mat2ch>
and that's a problem for Britain tourism sector, because many people will just happily visit France or Spain than go through the hassle of getting a passport
<Mat2ch>
and I can just take a train to Switzerland and not care at all... it's weird, even for me.
<raptop>
I guess this means that if you like skiing you should take advantage of that
<Mat2ch>
Many here do.
<Mat2ch>
I don't. I liked skying, but it's costly, breaks bones all the time and my ecological conscious says: NO. (It screams at me in capital letters. If something screams that way, I better obey)
<Mat2ch>
*skiing
<Mat2ch>
there are also huge resorts in Austria, France and Italy.
<raptop>
"skying" sounds like a weird way of talking about hang-gliding or something
<Mat2ch>
There are those hang-gliders who use skis...

I forgot one important place in my list of countries. Vaduz. In Liechtenstein.
<raptop>
Tiny country
<Mat2ch>
They say, they once attacked another country and came back with more soldiers than they left with.
<raptop>
I think that counts as a win
<sandbox>
how long do passports last? I'm pretty sure mine has expired
<sandbox>
I look a bit different too
<raptop>
It varies somewhat with the passport. I think as an adult in the US they usually last 10 years
<Mat2ch>
sandbox: 10 years, if you are above 24 here.
<sandbox>
I think it was 2009 the last time I used it
<Mat2ch>
you will need a new one then
<sandbox>
I was able to work it out from remembering the EJC people that were at the airport
<sandbox>
that was entertaining
<sandbox>
what is the EJC you ask?
<sandbox>
European Juggling Convention
<sandbox>
they were back from Spain
<sandbox>
that was an incredibly long and otherwise boring wait in the airport
<Mat2ch>
So many jugglers?
<sandbox>
yep
<sandbox>
they were getting other flights to go back to their homes
<Mat2ch>
and let me guess, there was lots of juggling.
<Mat2ch>
Backpacks, bags, suitcases...
<Mat2ch>
.oO( ok, ok, I show myself out... )
<sandbox>
I had no idea what EJC meant either, I looked up what it said on their t-shirts when we got home
