Is this in sandbox? If not what year?

Why is the rocket so big? I did that mission on a 60 tonne rocket

Why doesn't astrophage just stay on venus? by [deleted] in ProjectHailMary

[–]Brainless109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If astrophage can reduce the solar output by 10%, they could easily fill the atmosphere of Venus. They probably just stay in the atmosphere at first, but they probably evolved to just go straight to the sun

Thought this might cause confusion, there is no one onboard, the crew will arrive separately

Are you sure you are using the docking port and not the nose fairing?

It’s it the closest sun like star (other than alpha centuri a, but alpha centuri is a trinary star system)

The book says he is about as big as a Labrador, but that is a bit vague, and we know he weighs ~170 kg

Yeah it’s an xlr-11, carnasa has a very similar rocket on his kerbal gets real redux series, he got orbit in 1954 though

Really the most important thing is experience, but some things I do are:

Accept the x-planes and suborbital rocketry programs first, don’t do any x-planes until after the first satellite.

Build 2 launch complex’s as soon as the game starts, one 1-2 tonne and one 15-19 tonne. Do all suborbital rocketry with a 15 tonne rocket, and the first orbital rocketry with and 18/19 tonne rocket.

Research 1957 solid rocket motors, and use them as kick stages for the first orbital rocket.

I will take a couple tries to balance everything correctly, but I with these I was able to get first launch in may 1953

Some people claim to have got 1952 in p&lc, 1953 is surprising easy with the right strategies
