00:07 <raptop> nshire: but does it involve a payload launched from a Vulcan or something?

02:15 <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

02:15 <LunchBot> Only in silence the word, only in dark the light... The resulting spacecraft fleet uses far too much gravity at once, tripping the planetary breaker. At least you can reset it yourself -- if you overloaded the main solar fuse it would need a tech callout from the gravity company.

02:28 <XXCoder> fun

02:52 <nshire> successfully took shots of the vandenberg launch

02:55 <nshire> should have shot more than 1frame/5sec tho

08:05 <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

08:05 <LunchBot> You try your newly discovered "flubber" as a different form of lithobraking. You look over your shoulder for moderators.

08:05 <Eddi|zuHause> qay

08:06 <Eddi|zuHause> uhm.. i dropped my keyboard

11:24 <sandbox> !mission

11:24 <LunchBot> You set your hammer to panic mode. Space is dark, and space is deep, and the price you've paid is far too steep.

11:42 <Azander> !mission

11:42 <LunchBot> You search the cosmos for answers to all of your questions. Eve is so darn purple.

11:58 <FLHerne> it is!

12:00 <Mat2ch> hehe

12:08 <sandbox> that was never in question

13:10 <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

13:10 <LunchBot> You murder a microwave for its magnetron and install it in your rocket. Let the die be cast!

13:27 <packbart> using a magnetron to melt iron?

13:35 <Eddi|zuHause> who said it's being cast from iron?

14:47 <darsie> What is this about? https://0x0.st/XrQQ.png

14:48 <darsie> "Launching Kerbal Space Program 2, Processing Vulkan shaders (100%), Skip, Cancel"

14:49 <darsie> Should I skip, cancel or not?

14:53 <packbart> sounds shady

15:19 <Mat2ch> you can skip

15:19 <Mat2ch> steam precompiles the shaders so it doesn't happen while you are playing

15:20 <Mat2ch> and it even uploads those compiled shaders so others with the same gpu can just download them

15:20 <sandbox> what is Vulkan anyway?

15:30 <packbart> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan "a low-level low-overhead, cross-platform API and open standard for 3D graphics and computing"

15:30 <packbart> a cross-platform DirectX ;)

15:48 <sandbox> I always think it's silly when an RAF plane uses the call sign APOLLO11

15:56 <Mat2ch> hehe

15:58 <Mat2ch> packbart: Competetor to DX12, which was hastily thrown together after Microsoft found out about Vulkan...

16:02 <packbart> well, over here there's just a boring NATO02 listener drawing circles over the exercise grounds https://www.flightradar24.com/NATO02/346c8a72

16:02 <packbart> sometimes SHELL and ESSO refuel flights over the north sea

18:53 <KrazyKrl> precompiling GPU shaders is great, because it prevents silly things like game hitches.

19:17 <darsie> Mission was to land a 200 t rocket on Minmus. I eyeballed it and it ended up 190 t.

19:33 <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

19:33 <LunchBot> Bob trips the main circuit breaker while running both capsule's rotisseries simultaneously, violating established mealtime procedures. Your mission is foiled by nefarious porpoises.

19:34 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe that's where the magnetron went?

22:33 <FLHerne> hah

22:33 <sandbox> !mission

22:33 <FLHerne> A couple of days ago, some WRGies were telling me about that time they tripped the main breaker for an entire youth hostel

22:33 <FLHerne> four kettles and a slow cooker

22:36 <raptop> WRGies?

22:43 <darsie> According to the rocket equation this rocket should have 206 t: https://0x0.st/Xr2c.png

22:54 <raptop> pic has overall Δv and propellant mass, though I don't know the Isp of hte engines

22:54 <raptop> There are still some bugs with the Δv calc in KSP2, though

23:06 <darsie> Yeah, it was fluctuating.

23:07 <raptop> hrm

23:12 <darsie> That's a Tuba: https://0x0.st/Xr2p.png#tuba It has a skirt extension that's applied upon staging.

23:12 <darsie> 385 s

23:46 <darsie> Should have brought a RW on my Eeloo rover.

23:58 <packbart> Hypnosis is better than reaction wheel, maybe
