All game related info will be posted here now: bsky.app/profile/starbasesim… or on youtube.com/@ashtorak or in discord.gg/w4wcufZF2r I probably won't use this platform much anymore. Maybe do some unrelated shit posting once in a while.

when the nutella glass is transmitted in higher quality than the Moon😵‍💫😹 🫣 Don't get me wrong. It's a great mission so far. But I have been stumped for two hours now about why the image on the right is transmitted in such low quality. I have no explanation. Do you have one?

Supposedly they use gopro hero 4 for whatever reason for that Moon shot. This has 90° fov on narrow setting, 5 mm focal length. The Moon would fill about a quarter of the full image at best, but max res is only 1080p. So if they zoom in digitally, only 270p are left for the Moon.

It might actually be a bit better on narrow view, depending on how it crops the image. You can also see when they switch to wide view that res goes down substantially. This looks more like 270p then.

Another simple camera with different focal length at that same spot could have easily brought us the same perspective with four times higher resolution. A camera with two lenses could have provided both views, one for Orion inspection, one for the Moon shots at the same time.

They clearly have a lot of bandwidth budget if they can transmit the nutella flying through the view with what looks to be at least 30 fps...

Dear Mac users, there is a clear timeline now for Mac version of StarbaseSim for Steam and EGS. While it will still take quite some time at the current state, you can push it forward here now: gofundme.com/f/help-get-star… Thanks to big help by @indnstar it already advanced by 20%! 😀

Merry Christmas! :) Quick update since I haven't posted in a while: Development is going to be paused for a little longer as I am still looking for a job. I'll might talk more about this and other things in the next monthly report also.

WOW! Starship can still land fine with four tiles missing in one spot at several places of the heat shield. It's just getting a bit leaky. Now need to make sure that they can re-use the tiles and not much more than four are falling off in one place when doing that.

Lots to digest. TPS was definitely putting in work this time around with the dynamic banking performed in combination with the intentionally missing tiles across the heat shield.

Amazing that it survived with those big holes in the heat shield. Why do they even need the tiles? 😆 I hope they let us know some day what values the temperatures of the steel behind those holes reached.

Very good job on Flight 11 so far @SpaceX ! Starship has been improved again over the previous flight, fixing some issues like the aft explosions. Let's hope with the next set of prototypes, there is not as much iteration necessary.
