AlamoVampire Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Went to a pumpkin patch today for the first time since moving my mom into a nursing home. Bought 2 pumpkins. Painted one with a jack o lantern face for her. Giving it to my dad to take to her tomorrow. Id take it myself but im not in a good place internally right now. Ghosts of 13 years ago are haunting me AND my bday is tomorrow. Not exactly happy times right now for me. And seeing my mom on my bday may be enough to break me the rest of the way right now 164710172023 sorry for this being a downer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutabaga22 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 (edited) I went to a new Mexican restaurant that opened near me. It was some of the best-tasting food I've ever had. Other than that my day was consumed by Per Aspera. I hadn't played the game in a while but got sucked in. Then I sucked my friend back in because he saw me playing it on Discord. I've also had a cough for six weeks... Edited March 18 by Rutabaga22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Worked on my eclipse photography procedure. Waiting for the temperature to climb a bit closer to what I expect then to do a dress rehearsal, see how my batteries hold up etc. Since I don't have a fully automated setup, the most important balance is between effectiveness and fun.

AstroWolfie Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I had a lecture to attend on today, but this Saturday, I taught one of my friends how to play the miniature wargame Star Wars: Legion at my local game shop. He really liked it and bought a set to start building his own army! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutabaga22 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Yesterday I cleaned up my room a little bit. Then I cleaned my bathroom. That's about it. Not much is happening today, a big snowstorm means the extracurricular I had scheduled today was canceled and I can't go anywhere. I'm modding a new skyrim save, if anyone has mod recommendations that'd be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnemoe Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Found this article https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hedgehog-hat-bobble-woman-mistake-rescue-b2518848.html Lady found an wet bobble from an wollen cap and thought it was an baby hedgehog Handled an life hedgehog as an kid spikes was not sharp as in less than an wire brush. Had my car checked over, fun part is that its the headquarter from there my sister work. Its an bakery and they have an private enclosed bridge over the road. Less fun part is two suspension springs who has to be replaced +$1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunlitZelkova Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) I worked more on my alternate history about the Space Race, which is supposed to be a slightly more grounded take on For All Mankind's premise- what if Korolyov lived. So with a whole lot of luck, the Soviets land first in June 1969. Apollo is reconfigured so that the last mission will involve landing a simple LM derived base on the surface to allow for the final crew to stay for 2 weeks in the "Race for the Base" (name taken from FAM). Skylab still flies. End result is all Saturn Vs are used up and there are none to go on display in museums. Nixon funds Big Gemini so Skylab flights can keep happening, and commits to studies of a more economical and reliable replacement for Apollo, which will be used to build a future permanent lunar base. The Soviets fund the DLB, the planned lunar base that would have followed the L3 lunar excursions. There is no Salyut because focus is all on the Moon. Almaz flies four times in 1972-1974 in the original configuration that mirrored MOL- the VA capsule and the OPS living module as one single spacecraft. But it is cancelled for the same reasons it was IRL and the Soviet space station project ends there. The Soviets build in the lunar base in 1981-82. They fly missions to it throughout the 1980s. But the USSR still collapses. I haven't decided the direction of the American program yet. What I'm thinking is that the Apollo replacement project stalls in the late 1970s because of the economy, but Reagan revives it. Because his focus is more on Earthly matters though, it proceeds very slowly. It only begins to produce hardware in the late 80s, at which point the Soviets are in dire economic straits. At the 87 Iceland meeting, Gorbachev offers to let the Americans use the Soviet lunar base. Reagan takes up the offer as a sort of 1980s Apollo-Soyuz. Later after the USSR collapses, the US helps fund the now Russian-Ukrainian lunar base. The DLB reaches the end of its life around 1994-95, at which point both nations decide on a new joint project. Combining the American experience with space stations and the Soviet experience with lunar flights, an international crewed Mars expedition, intended to launch around 2006, is created. Three missions were planned to occur over the course of about a decade or so. Miraculously, these flights go smoothly. Unfortunately afterwards international tensions prevent an international successor to the Mars program being decided upon, but in America, commercial spaceflight has been born with SpaceX and Blue Origin, while China is also a rising independent space explorer. Humanity's journey into space is still just beginning at that point. --- To be honest, I'm kind of bummed about it. I wanted it to be grounded. I felt it was one thing to have the Soviets get really lucky with the N1 not failing at the exact times necessary to win the Moon Race, but the global economics really don't support anything beyond a basic lunar base the only lasts until the 90s, followed by a couple Mars missions. My dream would be Mars missions in the 80s and 90s, followed by exploration even further into the solar system. But the economics and political commitment just don't line up, even with the Soviets beating the US to the Moon. Here's hoping the 21st century doesn't end up the same way.

It'd be a large project, but with collaboration from 2 or more lunar-capable countries would be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, something I always say is that the ISS is basically a Mars Transfer Vehicle without the storage and engines needed for the trip to Mars. A Mars spacecraft is basically just a space station that moves between the orbits of planets anyways and enters new ones, so my line of thinking is that a modular spacecraft (like a slightly scaled down ISS) with some solar electric engines on the back should be feasible for the 2000s. 19 hours ago, SunlitZelkova said: To be honest, I'm kind of bummed about it.

I'm actually not as bummed about it after having some time to get off the computer and take my mind off the story. A lunar base is still really cool, and the Mars mission in the 2000s is alright too. I'm happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbalsaurus Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I greatly depreciate the Phillies. I was at the game today, and saw the absolute meltdown of pitching, which seems to be their problem in general. They kept Wheeler in far too long, and he gave up a grand slam and another home run in the same inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
