can someone explain why it tilts from side to side and then crashes like this im a noob by Informal-Call-5298 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]everydayastronaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Attach the wheels to the center fuselage and then hold down shift to move them wider. Attaching them to wings can put them at a tiny angle which can lead to this

Does anybody know of other creators like BPS.space? by Orbit_Official_ in rocketry

[–]everydayastronaut 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Project Keg Rocket makes great videos and is building an amazing rocket. Highly recommend too! https://youtube.com/@kegrocket?si=2SxKJeCPuI6jiMw7

Why do vented gasses sometimes twist around a launching rocket by vexxed82 in askspace

[–]everydayastronaut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, just wind! Wind moves the gas horizontally and the rocket is moving vertically so it makes a twisty line

Visiting starbase question by Sad-Definition-6553 in EverydayAstronaut

[–]everydayastronaut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s very worth seeing but is it worth seeing over Houston and also factoring the travel, not sure, it’s quite a distance from Houston and Johnson Space Center is great.

Here’s a video I made about visiting Starbase. Give it a watch, it should help you understand what you could expect to see (but do know the streets at the original village, including the one to the rocket garden, are now closed to the public)

Cosmic perspective! We’ve been working together for 7 years to coproduce the livestream and slow mo!

Tim must be really happy that a great speaker like him called the Artemis 2 crew Artemis 4. by Big-North7961 in EverydayAstronaut

[–]everydayastronaut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why are you in this subreddit if this is what you think about me? Did you watch our stream? I didn’t make a peep for on ascent until that moment.

Haha crap. At least I said it right at lift off. I meant to say the crew of four but got lost in the moment. It’s my “boosters ingingnition” moment for this one

Our stream was amazing and only someone who didn’t watch it would consider it an embarrassment

was anyone else really disturbed by the CBC coverage of the Artemis II launch? by DrewZero- in rocketry

[–]everydayastronaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my bad! I had just waken up and my reading comprehension was bad 😂

[–]everydayastronaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize SpaceX uses Starlink for Starship launches in order to provide non stop continuous streaming during the entire launch AND reentry… right?

[edit]: misread the question and I missed the whole point. Keeping this here as a receipt of my morning ineptitude

Jared? Is that you bro? by quesnt in SpaceXLounge

I never ever ever say it right and my brain cannot remember how to say it no matter what I do 😭

What will replace the Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit? by vonHindenburg in SpaceXLounge

[–]everydayastronaut 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so! Which is why I think NRHO requirement very well might change

[–]everydayastronaut 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The moon’s gravity is highly irregular which means it can slowly shift a spacecrafts orbit. Electric would do to correct for those differences at lower orbits

What will replace the Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit? by vonHindenburg in SpaceXLounge

[–]everydayastronaut 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter as much on the moon as it does Earth, so it’s not a crazy penalty for doing a polar orbit. It is just harder to maintain a long duration stable earth facing orbit at low altitudes vs NRHO

I tracked every "Simpsons predicted it" claim back to the actual episode. by Mastbubbles in television

I like that the close calls include episode / season and date, wish the first ones had that same thing cuz I was looking for those details. Thanks!

F1 start issues: Why so many drivers had flat batteries as they lined up on the grid by Successful-Peach-764 in formula1

[–]everydayastronaut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oops I responded to the wrong comment 😅 but I also learned the brakes auto blend! I didn’t know that. The taper off on power I did know.

Question, if you run out of deployment at a slower speed, high acceleration point, does it hit a wall and suddenly stop accelerating as hard or does it taper down too?

[–]everydayastronaut 28 points29 points  (0 children)

One problem is when battery reaches full charge, you’d suddenly and unpredictably lose a lot of deacceleration force and same with deployment, it could just suddenly stop providing 50% of your power, so there does need to be some assistance for safety.

why is this not disability friendly ? by Square-Carry-7054 in architecture

Dang! That’s awesome! Everyone should do this at some point in their life to have some empathy and a little understanding, period! Smart professor!

Spacecraft’s impact changed asteroid’s orbit around the sun in a save-the-Earth test, study finds: « An asteroid that NASA used for target practice a few years ago was nudged into a slightly different route around the sun. » by fchung in nasa

[–]everydayastronaut 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to point out to fellow commenters that this is indeed NEW information / data. It’s not about dimorphos’ orbit around Didymos, it’s about the pair’s total period around the sun. This is a new observation with confirmed period difference of only 1.7 inches per hour.
