09:31 <Mat2ch> My plan to have revolving engines controlled by infernal robotics got hampered by the small motors and bad floppy nodes :(

09:36 <Althego> but ksp has electric and air breathing engines for propellers

09:36 <Althego> ok, probably part of one of the dlcs

09:40 <Mat2ch> https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Breaking_Ground_parts#Robotics

09:40 <Mat2ch> the article is broken for the Rotors

09:40 <Mat2ch> and Servos and Engines

10:47 <sandbox> !mission

10:47 <LunchBot> Take a surface sample of a landing leg while in low Kerbol orbit. It is funny. And you are tired of pretending it is not.

10:48 <Althego> hehe

10:48 <Althego> indeed it is

11:04 <FLHerne> .outcome add Cause of launch failure is determined to have been fairing overpressure due to evaporation of the payload during launch.

11:04 <LunchBot> Added outcome: Cause of launch failure is determined to have been fairing overpressure due to evaporation of the payload during launch.

12:16 <KrazyKrl> ;mission add You invent the Catalyst Ray Tube and ignite the atmosphere.

12:16 <LunchBot> Added mission: You invent the Catalyst Ray Tube and ignite the atmosphere.

15:10 <Althego> heh the damaged sat is in retrograde orbit

15:10 <Althego> ok, didnt lose much, just have to deorbit this repair mission from lko, and launch it again

15:31 <Althego> and this mun tourist mission is running on razor thin margins

15:31 <Althego> it already needed jet engines to launch to overcome the 140t limit

15:31 <Althego> and the delta v margins are less than stellar

15:32 <Althego> this has to be the most perfect moon landing i ever did

15:32 <Althego> ok, the lower part can be destroyed, it will be empty anyway

15:32 <Althego> also the landing legs can take some

16:13 <Althego> finally had enough time for starting to commission the minmus sat network. still probably not going to be fully working before the manned mission gets there

16:13 <Althego> the bus that carried it there is totally out, has a few m/s remaining, cant even make it to any meaningful orbit

16:18 <packbart> well, there's your retrieval mission if you were missing one ;)

16:19 <Althego> no, the bus is for the 6 sats

16:20 <Althego> it itself is a commsat, but i was hoping for a bit more remaining after the braking. i need to lose there close to 2k m/s at minmus, it is a bit much. because i fond to 6 day hohmann transfer, but an intersecting escape trajectory

16:23 <nshire> any news on ksp2 since the layoff almost 6mo ago?

16:28 <packbart> that's not the way T2 works :)

16:28 <Althego> why do you think it is not dead?

16:29 <packbart> KSA looks promising, though

16:31 <packbart> ( https://www.pcgamesn.com/kitten-space-agency/ksp-killer-announced - it's got HarvesteR, JPLRepo and some more known names)

16:31 <Althego> nertea

16:32 <packbart> someone mentioned blackrack. I don't know. I learned about it yesterday

16:34 <Althego> yes blackrack too

16:34 <Althego> track

16:34 <Althego> these are known names

17:34 <Althego> tourists dont like hard landings

17:35 <Althego> otherwise totally survivable

20:02 <raptop> Althego-relevant meteors? https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.00183

20:18 <xxcoder> ;mission

20:18 <LunchBot> You have come here to chew bubblegum and launch rockets, but you are all out of bubblegum. You accidentally discover that putting a prism in your tea does not produce any new flavors.

20:20 <xxcoder> ;mission

20:20 <LunchBot> You commence primary ignition. Solid rocket boosters are banned from the space program by environmental activists.

20:21 <Althego> but they let the hypergolics go

20:22 <xxcoder> seems so lol

20:30 <FLHerne> do not chew prisms, even if you're out of bubblegum

20:30 <xxcoder> but it tastes colorful?

20:32 <raptop> more importantly, they seem to have allowed the construction of death star superlasers
