[01:25:44] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard++ good find on U+A0 in dept line... works, kinda. IIRC, after saving, it becomes a normal-ish space and updating the story again gets the spaces replaced w/ dashes

[01:40:39] <paulej72> how does one inadvertantly set a track record :)

[01:51:18] <Bytram> it was an already used rocket booster, so they did not plan to land it on a barge, but decided to practice "very high retrothrust" landing, but over water (pretend landing, if you will)... and it survived!
[01:51:21] <paulej72> holy fuck, that is amazing
[01:51:29] <Bytram> you got THAT right!
[01:52:31] <Bytram> saltware ain't good for the engines 9or pretty much anything else), but if you can get it back... why not retrieve it and see what you can learn from it!
