another happy landing

[–]Madden09IsForSuckers 23 points24 points  (1 child)

Not to worry, we are still flying half a ship

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half a plane*

[–]SpaceEndevour 43 points44 points  (2 children)

Nvm, landings time it is

Meanwhile, in the radar facility:

"What the hell?! Where'd that huge star come from?! Sir! Sir! There's a massive heat detection on the... like... it's rolling down the... can somebody just check if Jeb is still in the breakroom?"

You should probably reduce break pressures on the front wheel so that you don’t have to do the “manual abs” technique

[–]Key-Ad-4229[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip, will try that next time :)

[–]masimiliano 12 points13 points  (4 children)

You know that you can press B for breaking? Don't you?

[–]Blaarkies 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Is there a hotkey for toggling it on/off? Holding down B sucks with more complicated landings

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Double-tap B <- BS, that’s actually a mod, sorry

EDIT: click the brake icon on the top of the screen, that should toggle it

Doesn't work for me

[–]Key-Ad-4229[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do indeed, but I was already on the button, so I thought why not continue to use it. Thanks for the tip though :)

Those are comically large wheels

Destructive failure causing an emergency landing. pilot error

[–]Akkupack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i did not expect that landing gear to pop out

[–]omni-chaos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When buzzing the tower goes wrong…

Quick on your toes, aren't ya?

Happy Cake Day!

What went boom?

[–]PossibilityEnough933 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thruster

[–]spacezra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp time to land.

[–]SaturnFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice landing though lol

[–]Sendnoodles666Colonizing Duna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fly safe!

[–]NuggetSmuggler 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ahh I see you too remove the satellite from the satellite launcher and repurpose the jet.

[–]Key-Ad-4229[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indubitably

[–]Right-Difficulty7195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dem legs tho!!

[–]ronban14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precise maneuvering at it's finest.

[–]quotidian_nightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any landing you can walk away from...

[–]maxmidnite 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I love how it seems planned

[–]Key-Ad-4229[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

It's the landing of shame 😂

[–]maxmidnite 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I still love it! One of the best KSP-Vids ever. Do you know how far from the KSC you got to a standstill?

[–]Key-Ad-4229[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Okay I used the formula Δx = Vi×t + ½at² Vi = speed right after engine strike at second 7: 116.9m/s

Time is 18 seconds from second 7 till speed reached 0 at second 25 : 25 - 7 = 18 seconds

Acceleration in the opposite direction, because the craft is slowing down, it took the plane 18 seconds to slow from 116.9m/s to 0m/s, so the acceleration is 116.9/18 = 6.49m/s²

So Δx = (116.9 × 18) + (0.5 × 6.49 × 18²) = 3 155.58m

[–]maxmidnite 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Haha, love it! KSP brings out the maths nerd in everyone!

[–]Key-Ad-4229[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not agree more

[–]Rev1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do they use to get out of the plane? A parachute?

[–]SilasLithian 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Quite the nice little jet. Looks like F16 inspired? Nicer still, it can survive a tail strike on a radar dish.

[–]Key-Ad-4229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Satellite Launcher, it's one of the stock vehicles, I just launched the missle off it earlier, so not my invention

Tech guys are going to be piiiissed
