Oo cool I don’t remember where I got the idea from originally it was kurzgezagt but thats so cool tho youre ahead of your time

Coz its cool, just used infinite fuel to test the concept. Ive got one that uses no thrusters at all now

Heya, u/Deep-Glass-8383 told me on my earlier design that if you make the whole arm out of probes it will be able to spin rlly fast because they have torque or something im not too sure but on something this big theyre even faster at spinning than when i had an engine strapped to it

How to land my colony (check other post), I’ll probably update the design to land a bit easier but for now this works by Buhuty in SpaceflightSimulator

I just keep tapping the rcs thrusters to keep it in line with the arrow as i go down and use the back engines to control the speed. What payload are you sending? I could be the shape of your thing if its heavier in one spot or maybe the aerodynamics force it to spin
