<NathanKell> soundnfury: Sorry, was AFKish. I'm in the midst of some PC maintenance (and setting Michelle up with my old PC instead of her dead one)
<NathanKell> but good, basically :)
<NathanKell> (well, apart from hating Windows 10)

<NathanKell> You?
<soundnfury> pretty OK, can't complain

<Probus> They filled the falcon heavy this morning.
<stratochief> Probus: oh? stood her erect, pumped her with cryogens?
<Probus> Grainy video but clearly it is fueling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdcDI98RSgo&t=0s
<stratochief> Super cool. I wonder if it is poor insulation or high air humidity that causes so much vapour to form. Atlas V never seems anywhere near that vapoury
<Probus> I was wondering the same thing. That is a pretty big cloud.
<stratochief> I'm considering making a 2000s, expendables space program. something like, from Atlas V to Atlas V Heavy through to something like Ares V or SLS Block 2
<stratochief> as usual, justifying and finding use for mid-steps proves challenging. but still, might be worth it.
<Probus> Sounds like fun, especially if you set yourself some large goals.
<stratochief> Yeah. I'll have to run some numbers to see if makes sense to actually use the Atlas V Heavy a decent number of times while developing something larger. Atlas V heavy could allow for some sizable EOR assembled payloads. I'm always a fan of EOR, since it has been entirely possible since the 70s
<stratochief> Saturn V was great, but ultimately too large at the time to see continuous use. Still, I would've loved to see them set aside enough money to build another batch, and use them gradually over the following 10-15 years, to give the tech a chance for commercialization or re-use
<Probus> Is it true they destroyed all the Saturn V documentation before building the space shuttle?
<Bornholio> no but large piles were destroyed, (extra manuals that had dozens of copies)
<stratochief> There is still tons of Saturn V documentation, yeah. The reason we can't re-build it is because the fabrication hardware wasn't preserved, plus the parts lists are out of date and call for things no longer manufactured by the private sector
<stratochief> Which is why it would've been nice to have an extra few Saturn V build and used over the 70s, to early 80s. They could've kept developing small substitutions for computer and general components as they fell out of general manufacture.

<Starwaster> anyone know if the recovery/rescue contracts can be modified or are they hard coded? I see an awful lot of stranded people in orbit before I even had my first manned orbital flight. That seems wrong
<ProjectThoth> Starwaster: The failures of other nations are now your successes.
<Bornholio> contract.cfg in squad
<Bornholio> contracts.cfg
<Bornholio> but really the contracts should be disabled and proper CC ones used
<Bornholio> don't think you can set altitude ranges in stock, but eccentricty/inclination multipliers can be
<SRBuchanan> Well, I've finally got my first custom part working properly.
<UmbralRaptor> Starwaster: you've heard of lost cosmonauts, right?
<UmbralRaptor> >_>
<Bornholio> lSRB you have a link to a git or some such?
<SRBuchanan> Nope, still in super-super beta.
<SRBuchanan> I only started that last night and wrapped it up less than an hour ago.
<SRBuchanan> Once I work out how to configure it for RO I'll make a few more and then release the pack. The goal is a full set of real and real-looking RCS thrusters.
<SRBuchanan> There's a shortage of those in RO right now.
<Starwaster> umbralraptor I've heard of them yes. I've also heard some of it is hoaxes
<Bornholio> there are a couple mods for RCS out there but i've not checked to see if any Rcs thruster values are availabe
<SRBuchanan> I also want to make them switchable between NTO and MON3, since most thrusters can use either.
<SRBuchanan> Specifically the R4-D. That's flagged as an NTO engine even though it's now used on vehicles that use MON3.
<Bornholio> why not just use a standard RCS thruster config or copy it and just bumpe the ISP for the longer nozzles
<SRBuchanan> That's a possibility, yeah.
<UmbralRaptor> Starwaster: I wasn't being especially serious.
<Starwaster> why not? Is there a reason we can't have a serious discussion about whether or not space is haunted by the screaming phantoms of dead cosmonauts?
<Bornholio> because i'll start adding the words "in my pants" to the end of all that
<Starwaster> you have screaming cosmonauts in your pants?
<Bornholio> yes capn'

<SRBuchanan> Long term I'd like an SSTU-style ability to 'cluster' the engines into thruster packs of various sorts as well but I'm sure that's a huge headache.
<ProjectThoth> SRBuchanan: I just want modular solid motors in stock. :/
