  1. What even is this?

      A thing to post status updates.

      Or whatever you want really I guess.

  2. Hey, y'all... Sorry I've been so inactive with my mission reports lately, it's been busy. It's the time of the year where I have a competition every weekend or so and there's studying for the ACT, school, clubs, dealing with what is potentially a relationship, general stuff, a few things I don't want to talk about, etc.

    I also have an idea for yet another story but I'm really hesitant to write it. I am already questioning my ability to finish my two main mission reports before college and I don't want another thing on my plate, but I think it would be interesting.

      Appreciate the banana for scale. 

      Looks big enough for a short poem. I wonder if you can tape together two things of poster board to hide the pvc weight. Also I believe that stuff is kinda stiff (poster board) so it might be worth adding quite a bit of weight to help is unfurl. Or maybe could do an accordion style thing, where it unfolds instead of unfurls? That's more machine dependant so I'll just toss it out there, but I think you have a better idea of how it's gonna work. You know, cause you're building it and I'm not :P

      Speaking of rhyme....

      "Roses are red

      Violets are Blue

      This is too complicated Honestly

      But I would like to go to prom with you."

      Or another limerick (though I don't think its particularly good...)

      Spoiler

      I really didn't spend more than a dime

      Mostly built this using my time

      But I've had fun knowing you

      And it is Valentine's too

      So would you like to go to prom together this time?

       

      I have to agree - there aren't too many more obscure places. Maybe some long dead internet chat or some letters.

      edit - i have hw to do... what am i doing with my life?

      This sounds very impressive and involved. Kinda want to see pics or a video of it

      For a poster how does something like "Hindsight says that this was a bit over complicated and I could have just asked normally. How does prom with me sound?". Could also do something like "This was much too long way of asking to go to prom with me. Would you like to?". Not sure how those sound to you...

      Do note that the last relation I had I sorta helped kill and don't have much other experience with this sort of stuff....

      Hey its tommorow I have to remind you about something? Some marble block thingto trigger a different thing. 

      For the wheel adding a channel or guide rail for the wheel axle along the path or something might help. 

      Sounds like it's coming along nicely.

      Ah OK. Does seem you do enjoy talking about her, given that it's the longest paragraph. Rube Goldberg machine seems cool, especially if you get it working well. Also, her birthday (if it was in last week or 2) is actually then a bit close to mine. Anyways, best of luck with it. 

      As for studying abroad, that's sorta what I hope to do honestly (apply internationally).

      That's fine. I've been also busy with stuff which is why I haven't responded in the space race yet... 

      Also potential relationship? Is it that person who asked you to ask her out to prom? Hope it goes on your benefit. 

      Also yay college... I don't want it be reminded of that stuff. Senior year and all that....

  9. InSight is landing on Mars in less than 20 minutes! Cruise stage separation is in about 5 minutes, which is the first stage of the landing. If you aren't already watching, you should be!

    I'm so glad we have a snow day today!

      No snow day for me.

      But cheers to a successful landing!

  10. So, uhh, I did a thing.

      Final countdown next?

  11. Attention, followers,

    If you have model rocket launch capability, decent video editing experience, and the capacity to mail letters potentially internationally, well, I had an idea.

    What if we did a collaboration where we mailed each other a tiny little astronaut figure and launched each others?

    Note: From the US, mailing a letter internationally appears to be under $2 as far as I can tell. However, machines do the processing, so it would be unwise to send anything rigid in the envelopes. I've heard that coins don't get through the machines, so lego minifigures are probably out, that was my original idea. So something non-rigid, like a small rubber lizard or a paper/light cardboard cutout or something would have to work.

    If you are interested say so and I will PM you all later!

      Oooh. I dont have launch capability unfortunately (kinda. See youtube comment from yesterday). Could be a fun thing to see though.

      Yeah, I've just been busy with school and stuff. I do want to finish it. Maybe I'll finish the current turn this weekend? No promises.

  15. Can I get someone to help me right now?

    My internet just got upgraded, and while it probably isn't enough to livestream well, I'm going to try again... Can I get a volunteer to judge stream quality from their end?

     

    Looking at it I might just be able to stream with a decent framerate, but at 480p. Not good, but worth trying.

      Heyy at least the upgrades are working! Would be more of an issue if it was going backwards.

      Yup, on it now. Frankly is kinda terrible. Text is barely readable to unreadable, just as a metric. (The atmosphere text, not just the KER stuff)

  22. Hey there!

    I just wanted anyone who cares to know that as of tomorrow at about 1:00 CST (give or take an hour) I will be leaving and I will not be back until late the 18th (probably the 19th). Unless I borrow someone's phone and they let me use it (unlikely) I will not be able to access the forum (or the internet at all) during that time, because I will be touring Europe as part of a state band program (YAY!).

    I'm really excited, to say the least. Just letting you all know!
