The chef's been looking up some recipes from Earth to try out. Today's special lunch is "mustard". The neutrino burst alone is lethal.

it was incredible
<
Althego>
there was literally nothing like it before it happened
<
Mat2ch>
viewing it was unbelievable.
<
Althego>
hehe, reminds me of the hovercraft race commentator in beyond good and evil: unbelievable, it's the little rookie!

Starship is missing tiles...
<
Mat2ch>
I'm curious if it will survive
<
Althego>
some tiles were not fitterd to test failure
<
Althego>
plasma is forming
<
Mat2ch>
burning through
<
Althego>
haha something was there at the landing position to film imt explode
<
Mat2ch>
a sea drone. No idea who built it. But I have an idea. :D
<
Althego>
also moonwalking mechazilla lol
<
Mat2ch>
Haven't seen that :(
<
Mat2ch>
So next flight full orbit and then Starship catch?
<
Althego>
the nsf stream cut away so it was not there
<
darsie>
Starship should land on it's own.
<
Mat2ch>
no landing gear, so they will have to use the other tower to catch it
<

that explosion was like the sprinkles on the cake
<

Mat2ch: The early starships had 10 landing legs or so.
<
darsie>
It's not landing on a runway like the Shuttle. There's no runway on Moon/Mars etc.
<
darsie>
And no catch tower.
<
Mat2ch>
but on Mars the gravity is much lower, so they don't need as much fuel and carry around landing legs
<
Mat2ch>
it's all about weight savings
<
darsie>
This is not KSP.
<
Mat2ch>
*and can carry around
<
Mat2ch>
that's really the reason why they don't have landing legs right now
<
Pinkbeast>
In KSP, someone would have looked at it and gone "nah, that's going to fall over if it lands anywhere less flat than Minmus" ?
<
Mat2ch>
time to send a scouting rover to find a decent flat spot on the other planets or moons

I wonder how they figure out FOOF/fuel Isps with yields that low. Must be theoretical calculations.
<

most likely

well, now it is rather clear that we can build huge rotating space stations. ;)
