<DrPotato> I'm ***uming that the launch site is in there somewhere :)
<rupe> Are they launching from Vandenberg?
<cIclops> nope, Marshall islands
<cIclops> Omelek Island, part of the Kwajalein Atoll
<rupe> ah, righto
<cIclops> near Bikini
<rupe> thanks cIclops
<cIclops> prelaunch photos: http://spaceflightnow.com/falcon/f1/prelaunch.html
<jv> LOX refill
<cIclops> yikes that will take some time
<cIclops> refill or topup?
<rupe> hey dan
<dantekgeek> hey rupe
<rupe> due to LOX evap whilst sitting on the pad?
<jv> it seems the nasaspaceflight.com forum is the best one
<DrPotato> they still have just less than 1.5hrs of window left
<jv> in't it 2:30 ?
<DrPotato> http://www.rts-wx.com/satellite/latest_images/MTSAT-IR.shtml
<DrPotato> not sure which island err.. atoll is theirs
<jv> near K
<DrPotato> but i think it's the yellow one
<jv> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kawajalein_Omelek.png
<DrPotato> ooohhh loop http://www.rts-wx.com/satellite/loops/MTSAT-IR.shtml
<jv> Larry Williams of SpaceX: It sounds like we are going to have another delay. They have to go back to the main island to refill the LOX tank. [Are still going to try to launch in the launch window]. A minimum of 1-2 hour delay.
<jv> gee, let's hope they won't strain the tanks too muc
<jv> h
<DrPotato> 1-2 hours, that's nutty, they should call it a day.
<akuo> is there some sort of stream of this
<jv> The resupply will come from the main island of Kwajalein, a SpaceX spokesperson said.
<jv> akuo: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=918&start=111&posts=112
<DrPotato> T-10 still takes 1/2 hour to go through without any issues.
<DrPotato> We hope to launch in an hour and a half to two hours from now
<DrPotato> moan...
<DrPotato> looks like Hayabusa had a successful day today! on target land sample and escape!
<DrPotato> does anyone know if Hayabusa is limited to two samples or if that is just a mission goal?
<nox-> hayabusa on german tv news :)
<nox-> gnite
<cIclops> yes iirc Hayabusa has only two sample chambers
<cIclops> and two projectiles
<slinted> 3 i believe
<slinted> at least, as per : http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/database/MasterCatalog?sc=2003-019A
<cIclops> curious Oppy MI image: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/m/654/1M186241708EFF64KCP2957M1M1.HTML
<jv> it's a saucer!
<jv> odd that it should have been 'closed'
<slinted> those are just all kinds of wierd, i won't be surprised if that was a misprogramed sequence
<jv> yeah
<DEChengst> yep
<jv> i believe if the IDD couldn't move, it'd terminate
<jv> .. the sequence
<DEChengst> that's what one would expect
<slinted> my thoughts exactly
<DrPotato> slinted good find! 3 it is. funny that the article says "This was the first ever controlled landing on an asteroid " wasn't NEAR a controlled landing??
<slinted> DrPotato: controled...sorta, I always thought of NEAR as a very low speed crash
<DrPotato> rofl
<DrPotato> that's not much different than the technique used by Hayabusa
<DrPotato> freefall from 25meters.
<slinted> true
<slinted> but there was legitimate surprise that NEAR survived the landing
<malgar> byebye
<DrPotato> nigt malgar
<DrPotato> I think the surprise was that it continued to transmit well after it landed was more of the surprise, even if the spectrometer was the only data
<Huygens> egle1: that sertainly ****ed, please dont use colors again!
<dantekgeek> hehe
<dantekgeek> I didn't know Huygens did that
<dantekgeek> I also thought Huygens could spell
<DrPotato> rofl
<dantekgeek> haha
<dantekgeek> oheresy: you around?
<oheresy> hi
<dantekgeek> fix Huygens
<oheresy> spelling error or color kick?
<dantekgeek> s/sertainly/certainly
<oheresy> k
<dantekgeek> <--- english nazi
<dantekgeek> thank you much
<dantekgeek> :D
<oheresy> =)
<DrPotato> and change the spelling of colors to colours pleze
<dantekgeek> spaceX needs a live stream
<dantekgeek> DrPotato: indeed, we're international here!
<DrPotato> hi egle1 how are ya
<DrPotato> lol
<dantekgeek> don't talk
<DrPotato> lol.. nope
<dantekgeek> let me tell you how
<dantekgeek> preferences
<dantekgeek> appearance
<dantekgeek> select font
<dantekgeek> make sure its set to white
<dantekgeek> or black
<dantekgeek> wahtever
<dantekgeek> then
<dantekgeek> customize variant
<dantekgeek> on second though
<dantekgeek> just change the style to standard
<dantekgeek> that should work
<dantekgeek> hahahahah
<dantekgeek> this is getting silly
<oheresy> let me turn it off
<dantekgeek> k
<dantekgeek> hmm
<dantekgeek> egle1: go ask in #colloquy
<dantekgeek> I can't figger out what you did to change the text color
<oheresy> heh
<dantekgeek> so you don't know how your text became green?
<dantekgeek> now its green
<dantekgeek> hmm
<oheresy> hehe
<dantekgeek> its still non standard
<dantekgeek> do you have any scripts installed?
<dantekgeek> I don't even know how to change my text color in colloquy
<oheresy> I don't even know how to change my text color in irssi
<dantekgeek> heh
<oheresy> no need to learn how to do it I guess
<oheresy> heh
<dantekgeek> colloquy is just irssi with a ***y XML wrapper
<oheresy> ahh
<dantekgeek> (unfortunately, the wrapper uses webkit, so its pretty slow)
<oheresy> heh
<oheresy> still green
<oheresy> hehe
<dantekgeek> try closing colloqy, and deleting the colloqy.plist file in /library/preferences
<slinted> ...the light, it burns
<dantekgeek> heh
