okay i've discharged fireworks with the son, ate popcorn, drank beer. is time for sleep and wake when thule is imaged nicely
<lamont>
i’m drinking beer, listening to crappy nu-metal and writing mechjeb code
<Bornholio>
and all is well in the world :P

"The same holds true for high temperatures, since stainless steel’s natural reflectivity makes it highly-resistant to heat – therefore requiring less in the way of heat shielding. "
<Starwaster>
I'm sorry but am I the only person seeing a logical fallacy in there?
<Starwaster>
Under heat shielding its reflectivity is completely irrelevant because conductivity is the dominant heat transport model there
<Starwaster>
btw New Horizon is now 129,800 km away
<Starwaster>
(why were they saying its closest approach would be Jan 3...? that can't be true)
<Bornholio>
probably take that long for good images
<Bornholio>
and months more for hires
<Starwaster>
oh that mustb e it
<Starwaster>
must be it
<Starwaster>
if you're so goddamn smart then esplain to me why there are TWO Truth or Dare movies exactly one year apart with exactly the same goddamn premise?
<Starwaster>
WHOSE FAULT IS THIS?
<Bornholio>
mine, i'm an ass
<Bornholio>
I pay those guys to mess up modern cinema
<lamont>
right now it is all hopes and dreams, i’m still working on ascent guidance
<lamont>
still need PVG for the node executor
<lamont>
very clearly though everyone wants to use MJ for landing, and it is problematic at best...
<Bornholio>
lets do the timewarp slam
<lamont>
yeah timewarp slam needs to stop being a thing
<Bornholio>
so just disable timewarp :)
<Bornholio>
.ducks
<lamont>
i did finally ‘ship’ PVG for ascents into mainline mechjeb
<lamont>
there’s still so much that can be done just with that though
<lamont>
so i’ve been working on suborbital targetting with ascents tonight
<Bornholio>
-PE or just a defined ap?
<lamont>
terminal altitude with terminal flight path angle
<Starwaster>
awwww c'mon, no more timewarp slam? Meanies....
<lamont>
so if flight path angle is 0 then you’ll wind up at that height with maximized velocity for the burntime of however many stages you configured
