<schnobs> Touch down with a plane, take a giant leap.
<schnobs> Is it some generic thing with springs / dampers?
<Bornholio> skids...
<Bornholio> in theory you decrease the spring rate or increase the damper to reduce bounce
<Bornholio> get a harder landing
<schnobs> birdlime wheels...
<schnobs> And, btw, dunno if you noticed my minor heat problem earlier...
<schnobs> Not much of a problem as they're no longer needed at that time, but still.
<schnobs> The heat they get comes from being attached to an exposed part.
<Bornholio> have never seen 1kn engines with heat other than re-entry burns, generally they pop

<schnobs> X-1 engine has the same problem, though I kinda sorta get that "it's not meant for reentry".
<schnobs> There's no alternative to the small thrusters, however.
<schnobs> Anyway. Goodnight all, or whatever makes sense in your time zone.
<Bornholio> the triple nozzle rcs is in the right range and takes a lot of heat
<schnobs> Just shot down KSP... I'm not aware of a triple-nozzle RCS port.
<schnobs> But, isn't there a smallish RCS pack from raidernick or something? maybe I should start looking for alternatives.
<Raidernick> i can't remember but the tks ports might have 3 nozzles

<Starwaster> omg the toilet is in the AIRLOCK??? HELL. NO. https://i.imgur.com/yYY8mAl.png
<Bornholio> for easy clean up, just vacuum freeze dry the floaters
<Starwaster> bornholio I'm more concerned with being walked in on while I'm pushing the floaters into the toilet... walked in on FROM OUTSIDE.
<Bornholio> did you hear the tale of theSTS toilet that got a stuck valve :)

<schnobs> Is there a reason why we don't use the stock "collect all science" functionality?

<schnobs> Early satellites are uncontrolled things, with optional solar panels slapped on.
<schnobs> Getting beyond that stage requires deployable panels, three-axis controls and proper avionics.
<schnobs> Getting there seems to be a lot more effort than it should be.
<schnobs> Don't know about you, but for me it's a hump similar to getting into space in the first place.
<schnobs> At the same time, I don't mind skipping a few generations of rocketry. Getting from '57 to 1960 boosters is easy and quick.
<schnobs> Also worthwhile, for failure rate alone.
