Boerseun Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Not wanting to sound like a pain in the ***, but could I get a warning next time? It seems as if tomatoes battle with anything more than 4G's! They're all squashed to hell and gone! No more salsa for the rest of the trip... okay, till the next batch matures - FROM SEED!!! Mon Dieu!!! Sacre Blu!!! I cannot work under zese circumcisions!!! Merde!!! I'll have to check what's in the fridge for interim sustenance. Oh - and the pressure cooker exploded. No damage, don't worry - but one helluva mess. Gimme an hour or so and I'll sort it out. Now where's my semi-clad hot kitchen assistant? Oh my God!!! :eek_big: DID THE BEER MAKE IT?!?!?!?!

Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 dont worry boerseun, the beer is fine - that was the first thing I checked :eek2: (right after checking everything in my body was still in order) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthepon Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Nice avtar, Boerseum... I suggest you order some nice food from down below before we die of mouth relief... It all better be fixed up before tommorow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 did you finish your check of sector 7g Ron? on the outside hull? a little concentration please - we launch in 9 days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthepon Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Right... All seems fine here. I guess we could have someone be checking from inside also, just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Its ok we would notice any penetrations via the leaking of atmosphere - and since pressure is holding steady, its safe to assume there is no leaks :eek2: I think I might go build an astro-mech droid, somewhat like R2-D2 my neck hurts after having to look up at the hull all that time, plus it wasnt very interesting..

ronthepon Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hey, wait! I notice a breach! Yes.... yes! There is a definite hole here! Air is indeed flowing out slowly! I suggest a good plug ASAP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 how did you notice it? The computer says everythings ok - if you can hear the air or feel it this could be a major problem, because it means the sensors arent calibrated correctly..

ronthepon Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Computer says OK? Look at this minute reading i'm getting. There is a signifacant pressure over here. Wait. Let me apply the micromagnets... that should do the test well... Yeah! See, they are accumulating at the crack! I'm putting duct tape on the hole for now. I guess I'll apply the hard covering later.

Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 That minute reading is within the operational error of the sensors.. if it wasnt so consistant it would have gone competely un-noticed, good pickup ron;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janus Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 It turns out that the "frozen" shock absorbers were only a part of the problem with our engine test. It seemed a little odd that our shaking was so localized to the aft modules, so I crunched a few numbers. It turns out that the pulse frequency of our engines set up a harmonic resonance in the ship's superstructure which concentrated at that point. As it turns out, our shock absorber problem was a blessing in disquise. Without it, the effect wouldn't have been noticed until we had been running the engines for a longer period and actually on our way. Now we have a chance to work the bug out while still in Earth orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 you can - once the proxies are up and running. You can stay intouch with family members via email since instant msg and streaming chat will be useless because of the time lag, which will obviously get worse the further we are from home. As for getting actual web pages, you will have to request these and then we can have the entire page and links downloaded - the download speed isnt the problem we have plenty of bandwidth to play with, its just the lag. Some commonly accessed sites could be updated periodically. We could even host some sites onboard (if our crew was large enough to make it worth it). So gimme some time to work out all the funky programming of these routines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
