egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

⟨rocketman⟩ NTRS is amazing
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ imagine how boring it would be if all NASA documents were classified
<queqiao->
⟨Theo⟩ is it just me or can you not set planets as targets in principia
<queqiao->
⟨Kobymaru⟩ you can but you have to check "Select celestial" in the Principia window first
<queqiao->
⟨Theo⟩ ah k
<queqiao->

should be back up
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ yeah landed vessels are unmanageable.
<queqiao->
⟨Kobymaru⟩ I have this intuition that "boring" orbits (less curvature, for example around the sun) are computationally less expensive than more "interesting" (more curvature, like around LEO), based on the flight plan length
<queqiao->
⟨Kobymaru⟩ does this intuition make any sense? if so, does it also apply to the vessel history trajectories?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ yeah, your intuition is correct; LEO trajectories will be very costly to store, interplanetary comparatively cheap
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ so Voyager might be fine to keep around in your save, Astérix less so
<queqiao->
⟨Kobymaru⟩ OK, thanks. I wanted to clean up my vessels for shorter scene changes, but I harbor an irrational emotional attachment to my early Planetary Flyby probes
<queqiao->
⟨Kobymaru⟩ I should delete my Sputnik 1 though, it should have decayed a long time ago anyway

⟨Zeusbeer⟩ I don't know how you can develop principia with actual sleep left over
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ if I develop anything and there is 1 single bug, my brain will disallow me to sleep till I find 3 reasonable possible fixes
<queqiao->

⟨Zeusbeer⟩ if I develop anything and there is 1 single bug, my brain will disallow me to sleep till I find 3 reasonable fixes for that single bug (edited)
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ and 3 more bugs from each of those fixes
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ oh yes that one
<queqiao->
⟨Zeusbeer⟩ and you develop 9 fixes for those possible bugs that come with the 3 possible fixes
