Hi

Make no mistake, what I like is astronomy, not rockets....

But doing this simulator (it's endless...), I'm realizing many things.

1. I have gone where I was not called.

2. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict reaches the space.

The international station, the ISS, is falling apart... The docked Soiuz has large meteorite impacts. An unmanned one will arrive on February 20 to return the astronauts to Earth (only the Russians)...

Russia has decided not to carry supplies and the ISS has to start its engines every day, to maintain orbit and not fall, plus water and food.

SpaceX has a spacecraft there, but it only holds 4 people out of the 7 that inhabit it in total. In case of emergency, if something happens before February 20, they will not be able to return in the SpaceX spacecraft either, the astronauts' suits are custom-made for each one, so the Russians could not return in it (they could not sit down for re-entry).

SpaceX will continue to carry supplies (as long as NASA pays), but we all know how Elon Musk's business is going.

NASA on the other hand, is investing in the Moon colonization project, they didn't count on fixing the ISS.... Besides, their latest plan, as they fail to land on Luna with the Orion, is to... crash the spacecraft (the necessary instruments are saved for now, they say). I'm sure this is quite economical

Will the ISS make it to 2031, when it was scheduled to be destroyed in the ocean?
My guess is that international politics will destroy it sooner.

Taking into account, that there is a new space race between SpaceX, China, Arab Emirates, USA and some crazy couple who want to go to Mars (right now nobody is able to reach the Moon and land, but they want to go to Mars...).

Why invest in Mars? Why did we go to Luna?


Hola

No os equivoquéis, lo que me gusta es la astronomía, no los cohetes....

Pero haciendo este simulador (es interminable...), me estoy dando cuenta de muchas cosas.

1. Me he metido donde no me llamaban.

2. El conflicto ruso-ucraniano llega al espacio.

3. La estación internacional, la ISS, se cae a pedazos... La Soiuz acoplada tiene grandes impactos de meteoritos. Una no tripulada llegará el 20 de febrero para devolver a los astronautas a la Tierra (sólo a los rusos)...

Rusia ha decidido no llevar suministros y la ISS tiene que encender sus motores todos los días, para mantener la órbita y no caer, además de agua y comida.

SpaceX tiene una nave allí, pero sólo caben 4 personas de las 7 que la habitan en total. En caso de emergencia, si ocurre algo antes del 20 de febrero, tampoco podrán volver en la nave de SpaceX, los trajes de los astronautas están hechos a medida para cada uno, por lo que los rusos no podrían volver en ella (no podrían sentarse para la reentrada).

SpaceX seguirá llevando suministros (mientras la NASA pague), pero todos sabemos cómo va el negocio de Elon Musk.

La NASA por su parte, está invirtiendo en el proyecto de colonización de la Luna, no contaban con arreglar la ISS.... Además, su último plan, como no consigan aterrizar en Luna con la Orión, es... estrellar la nave (los instrumentos necesarios están guardados por ahora, dicen). Seguro que esto es bastante económico

¿Llegará la ISS a 2031, cuando estaba previsto que se destruyera en el océano?
Mi opinión es que la política internacional la destruirá antes.

Teniendo en cuenta, que hay una nueva carrera espacial entre SpaceX, China, Emiratos Árabes, EEUU y alguna pareja de locos que quieren ir a Marte (ahora mismo nadie es capaz de llegar a la Luna y aterrizar, pero quieren ir a Marte...).

¿Por qué invertir en Marte? ¿Por qué fuimos a Luna?

Group notices are borked even more than usual, so it looks like no one got my new group gift notice:

"There's a brand new group gift at the Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid, and you don't want to miss it! Look for the box in the lobby by the group joiner kiosk. Thank you again for your patronage!"

HG Address: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

Here we are... my Ruth2 avi in Kitely that has similar body dimensions to my Athena body, especially the one that uses the Lelutka Erin head. It measures 5.33 feet\1.625 meters.

I'm getting there, still a work in progress. :)

This is consistent with the casual look I sport in Open Sim and Second Life, so it's something I can enjoy. Next time... I'll try to put together something business oriented... then fantasy... a gown... in due time. ^_^

The Ruth2 v4 mesh head is not usable for me, since it won't accept a shape well. Is there a compatible mesh head in Opensim that's a good quality? I see a some heads available on the Kitely Market but I know nothing about them. Until now I've only used the system head with the Ruth body

Unexpected find at All Free Shopping Spree (https://opensimworld.com/hop/89839):

At about 186,261,22, in the middle of a hodgepodge of Athena and HG items that aren't even shoes, hangs this box. It's labelled "chaussures ruth free boxed" and contains a pair of high-heeled sandals.

Which, as the name indicates, are rigged for Ruth2. Most likely the only box of clothing on this entire sim that is. They also have to be one of only two pairs of high-heeled Ruth2 sandals; the other one is Taarna Welles' reBoot Luella Mytho Sandals High set. She also made a set of medium-height Mytho sandals, by the way.

Creator of these sandals is Robin of Wood from HGluv, old home of LuvMyBod. So I dare say they're safe.

By the way, the box is full-perm and can be picked up, just in case you're working on a Ruth2 fashion store.

After a year or so of being in Open Sim... I'm beginning to work on a proper OS avatar without any of the pirated material. I know Dorena's World has some Ruth2 outfits. Are there other spots I can TP to for more Ruth2 goodness? This will take some time for me, and my RL week ahead looks quite busy so I may not have much time to work on this until the end of it.

I know some of the Athena clothes I have now can fit Ruth2 with some alphas... the shoes I have on here are for the Athena. Right then, I must snooze now so I'll have to check replies later. Thanks for looking + any advice.

Horse News from the Builder
My conversation with Roland Francis.....builder of our horses


Safinemahoe2 5 hours ago
Hello Roland
First I want to say how amazing your horses are. I have wanted grazing horses that I could ride for years!

I did come up with one issue and I wanted to reach out and see if you had ever seen this.

I have seven horses rezzed on my personal island. Another person who lives on my region in avi worlds also has a couple of your horses. If she clicks follow on one of her horses….. all the horses……anywhere on the 64 sim region…. Go to that horse.

All our land is group owned.

For now….. we do not touch the follow button, but I wanted to see if you had input.

This has happened multiple times with different people…


Roland Francis 3 hours ago
Hey Safine (if it's ok to abreviate your name this way).
Thank you for reaching out and for your nice words.
There is a very simple solution to solve that issue: change the channel to which the horses listen to: eg. change channel 2 to e.g. 666 and channel 3 to 777 (do NOT change channel 1, the script will assign its own internal channel for its own use).
Please let me know if that worked well for you

Safinemahoe2 3 hours ago
thank you for your prompt reply....so each owner in the region...has different channel for horses?


Roland Francis 3 hours ago
All horses listen to the same external channel, which you can change for your own proper use such as e.g. 123


Roland Francis 3 hours ago
when you open the script you will see something like this: //-------------setting menu variables-----------------
integer Channeld1= -9999;
integer Channeld2 = 9;
integer Channeld3 = 7;


Roland Francis 3 hours ago
now change Channeld2 to a number of your choice e.g. 123 and Channeld3 to another number of your choice 456

Safinemahoe2 3 hours ago
thank you soooooo much!!!!!

Roland Francis 3 hours ago
if you would want to make several "couples", you could give those horse their own channel (such as a mother and a foal)


Roland Francis 3 hours ago
the idea behind the "several channels" is to do partnering as well as hearding, so you can have a couple (talking on channeld2) AND a heard (talking on channeld3)

Roland Francis 3 hours ago
It is a feature 'under development", so next versions of the horses will have more functionality


Roland Francis 3 hours ago
If you need more help, just let me know :)
