Arnold Frankenkerman screeches at the top of its lungs that it's "MR UNIVERSEEEEE" while tearing the escape hatch open with its bear hands. To warn future generations of the crash site, your scientists propose breeding cats that glow in the presence of radiation.
<XXCoder>
man its horrible event. "mr. universe" made a radioactive crater mess
<packbart>
where did the Kerbals find a bear hand?
<XXCoder>
think its supposed to be bare but who knows

well, it is a Frankenkerman, so bear hands make sense ;)

Althego: Why have they grid fins?
<Althego>
my guess is the same as the soyuz, stabilization during the operation of the launch escape system
<Mat2ch>
Makes sense, yes+
<Mat2ch>
Thanks!

You refine kilotons of hydrogen peroxide to 99% purity for use as a propellant. yOU ENABLED FINE CONTROL:
<Eddi|zuHause>
i got two missions again.
<Eddi|zuHause>
!mission add yOU ENABLED FINE CONTROL:
<LunchBot>
Added mission: yOU ENABLED FINE CONTROL:
<Eddi|zuHause>
!outcome del yOU ENABLED FINE CONTROL:
<LunchBot>
Deleted outcome: "yOU ENABLED FINE CONTROL:"
<Althego>
no this is a result
<Althego>
while flying you enabled it
<Eddi|zuHause>
anyway, i've never actually heard "kiloton" used to describe the mass of an actual object
<Eddi|zuHause>
mostly in the context of explosions
<Althego>
shouldnt it be megagrams? :)
<Althego>
or wait, gigagrams

ton(ne) is like an "extended universe" SI unit
<Althego>
annoying that ton is about 900 kg or something, probably from imperial, while tonne, what i am too lazy to write out, is the actual 1000 kg unit
<Eddi|zuHause>
it's worse. there are different imperial systems, so there's a long ton and a short ton, in addition to the metric ton(ne)
<Eddi|zuHause>
btw there's also a metric pound
<Eddi|zuHause>
which is 500g
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
at least make it 450 so it is close
<Eddi|zuHause>
this is how the word is generally used in germany now
<Eddi|zuHause>
if you go to a butcher in germany and demand 1 pound of meat, you get 500g
<Althego>
i didnt even expect tgermans to use such unit
<Eddi|zuHause>
it's kind of old fashioned now, but should generally be understood
<Althego>
here for meat in many cases dekagram is used, which annoys me
<Eddi|zuHause>
if you think british imperial units are a mess, don't look into pre-SI german units :p
<Althego>
fathom per lord's prayer
<Eddi|zuHause>
it's a different kind of mess :p
<Eddi|zuHause>
because effectively each town could have a different opionion of what a foot, or a mile, or whatever, is.
<Eddi|zuHause>
which is how in the early days of SI-introduction you get SI-yfied units like a "german mile"
<Eddi|zuHause>
(7500m)
<Eddi|zuHause>
which is sort of like an average value :p
<Eddi|zuHause>
the original german mile was (usually) defined as "2 hours at walking pace", but what "walking pace" is diverged over time
<Izzy>
one suspects it'd get longer the closer to NL you got

To keep your microlight microlight, you omit the landing gear and cut holes in the cockpit floor. The pilot is to be equipped with rollerskates. In the long run, this is a pretty good decision.

You bolt a sepatron to an EVA suit, just to see what will happen. These baby-smashing hammers are great!
