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…
<queqiao--> <k​uz​in​at​0r​> Principia can't figure out I have an active engine with enough fuel to get home. But mechjeb has no issues with that. Are you interested in the craft file?
<queqiao--> <k​uz​in​at​0r​> For some reason principia is confused by the gemini decoupler. If I jettison the tank, everything returns to normal. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/480397772248580098/1414525280311181403/image.png?ex=68bfe2d3&is=68be9153&hm=0461510e238c312597c13216b90c89f82ef17d600e14f7bfa67a8ef052c0cb26&
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> The engine is backwards?
<queqiao--> <e​gg​> Try “control from here” in something that faces where the engine goes
<queqiao--> <k​uz​in​at​0r​> Well, the control point is always the lander can. I'll check again later.
<queqiao--> <k​uz​in​at​0r​> Dunno why jettisoning a fuel tank alone does fix it
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> do crafts produce a gravity field of their own? lol
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> chat gpt says that 2 spacecrafts of 40t should be able to orbit around their common barycenter in LEO if separated by only 1 meter :V
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> now to find something that weights 40t and has diameter lower than 50cm xd
<raptop> Principia does not simulate that. Universe Sandbox does, so you can have a pair of shoes closely orbiting eachother with a period of a day or something
<queqiao--> <B​en​ji​> Now I wanna read a story that starts by finding a pair of shoes orbiting, orbiting Venus? or Jupiter?
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> i imagine they would have to be outside the solar system or some non realistic density xd
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> btw if a trajectory that leaves earth is interplanetary and if it lives the milky way its intergalactic but whats it called if it only leaves the solar system :v
<queqiao--> <k​uz​in​at​0r​> There's a movie about it
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> ah lol interstellar :V
<queqiao--> <e​zs​na​ck​ -​ b​oo​st​er​ t​an​k ​ap​ol​og​is​t> how dumb am i stars are also called "stelle" in italian xd
