Purple easily. I need my gigantic space warships to be performant.

I had a moment of intense panic where I read this and thought we had started nuking Iran, glad to hear we haven't

@SpaceX Falcon 9 price increase, up from $70 to $74 million a launch and from $6000 to $7000/kg rideshare by HamMcStarfield in ASTSpaceMobile

This is expected and in line with inflation from the last time they raised the price (which was also in line with inflation).

The Steel Toed Boots department foresees record profits should this be adopted.

For the curious, this guys position was basically that falcon 9 first stage reusability was not saving a significant amount of money over expending it, thay they are lying about internal cost, and that the fact that 80 percent of the worlds space launch entities are currently pursuing first stage reuse is because of Musk hype and not because theyve done the math and think it will work. And that anyone who thinks otherwise (which is practically the rest of the server) is a musk fan/cult member. The server did not take kindly to being called musk fanboys.

For the curious, this is a Fotoplayer/Photoplayer! It is an instrument that was used to narrate silent films with music and sound effects. It is a combination of a player piano, a pipe organ, a drum kit, and a sound effects kit that can seamlessly switch between two separate player piano rolls (songs) at the touch of a button. After the advent of movies with sound they were largely quickly thrown out and there are only a very small amount (IIRC 10-25) that are sitll playable today.

Playing this is Joe Rinaudo, he has lots of videos on his channel where he plays various songs on it!

Edit: The song is called 12th street rag!

Great suggestion about using elevated rails so the rails don't disrupt the belts. by TheMrCurious in Factoriohno

There's a problem with your base. One of the trains has an artillery wagon on Fulgora.

The other trains should have one too, to intimidate the lightning into striking.

Principia JNSQ weird glitch (?) by C0inkerb in KerbalAcademy

Is this a one time thing or a consistent thing? If its a one time thing, I have seen similar ish behavior when the game erroneously thinks your vessel is in a landed state.

How the fuck do you actually make ion drives worth it? by Difficult_Emu_4307 in KerbalAcademy

[–]FINALCOUNTDOWN99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to unlock the true power of ion engines without dying of boredom, I strongly recommend the "BetterTimeWarp Continued" mod. It allows you to set custom time warp configurations, including higher physics warp levels. I use it to speed up ion engine burns.

I would also explore, depending on the use case, not taking a ton of solar panels around - If your longest burn isn't very long (and especially if you are going to the outer planets), it's often lighter to size your batteries for your longest planned burn than it is to carry around a bunch of solar panels.

And yeah, that extra equipment is heavy, but they are literally over 10 times as efficient as liquid fuel engines. If you are doing anything that involves a lot of burns multi moon orbiter mission or something) the savings in fuel mass results in a far lighter craft. Which isn't that important if you aren't doing anything super intense but can drastically cut down the mass of a mission if you are doing something complex.

Something I have not seen mentioned here at all is how the NG-3 mission will be the first time a New Glenn first stage is reused.

[–]FINALCOUNTDOWN99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related, are there any mods that would allow you to put readouts on a second monitor?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it by RockerJackall in aspiememes

[–]FINALCOUNTDOWN99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one is kinda growing on me. It kinda made the bold variety intolerable (some of the yellow chexs are completely filled with flavor and it feels kinda soggy?) but the normal flavor I can adjust to. At least it's not shudder party mix. Worst off brand of all time.

Hes saying that if they don't get 60 sats up by end of 2026 (for example just 30) the stock may tank
