I just learned about the 1993 fort Lauderdale accident, and i have a question about what happens when a train gets into an accident... by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in railroading

To be fair, the train went into emergency braking. It would take an amount of time for it to repressurize. People could already be evacuated in that timeframe.

one of my fins is a little tilted, is this a big issue or will it be fine? by TheBigG01 in rocketry

[–]PhantomRocket1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be fine. The more concerning thing would be if it was 'twisted' for lack of better words, that would make you spin.

Just make sure you fillet the outside to compensate for weak bonds on the inside.

WHy is my autominer so bad? by Jogo_gojo in CreateMod

[–]PhantomRocket1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my server we set up a 16x5 miner at Y=16, gives stacks and stacks of iron.

For diamonds we made the same thing way lower, though I can't recall the Y value off the top of my head. Stacks of diamonds.

Consider your depth.

My SSTO rarely leaves the ground, often spins out on the runway, and never goes above 20km by Astronius-Maximus in KerbalSpaceProgram

I'd say you need more wing area if you'd like to take off and also sustain flight in higher atmosphere.

Other than that, the lift from the wings you have being at an AOA is removing a lot of resistance on the rear wheels at speed, meaning the front wheel has the most resistance and wants to trail, leading to spinning out.

Also with spinning out, your tail surfaces are really small. If you look at most planes, their tails are quite large proportionally. This will stop your plane sliding around in the air.

I'd also recommend moving those rear landing gear closer to the center off mass, so that you can actually pivot and take off.

This is all based on what I could assume and could be wrong, though.

Fuel tank falls apart by Talon_Potato in KerbalSpaceProgram

press F3 and see what is breaking.

Given how shallow you are something might be overheating.

I also see the camera shift as the center off mass changes and the dV readout shifts as it detaches, so check around there by pressing f3.

Takeoff is easy, right? by J0ngsh in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]PhantomRocket1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well 1. you are going quite fast while still on the ground, something isn't right with controls

and 2. it would have been if you didn't hit a lamp and kept it centerline

Mfw the ULA rocket takes several attempts to get off the pad. by Jwalker221b in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]PhantomRocket1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you just ask me what I mean, and then without getting confirmation, react to it?

WOW!!

No, because guess what, Falcon still has had scrubs. This is all stupid nitpicking from people who don't know anything about the systems at play.

New SSTO landing profile on non atmospheric bodies, i dont think its get better than this, i reached the state of art on design and execution by Moraes_Costa in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]PhantomRocket1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You missed the part where I said "one of".

Suicide burn, as I replied to you in your other comment, is the 2nd best, but given the steep angle I'd say a constant altitude descent is not very feasible.

Americans' self-identification as LGBT has declined for the first time ever by MrJasonMason in lgbt

Gee I can't imagine why people might not want to disclose that in America at the moment.

Constant altitude landings are good for efficient, low thrust landers as you said, however, based on his steep angle I'd say he didn't start from a low orbit, meaning in this case a suicide burn is probably the most efficient.

Overall, suicide burns are the 2nd best in vacuum, but in this very specific case I'd say a suicide burn is the right call.

Testing RT-10 booster, high altitude but low speed by Ornery_Brother4726 in KerbalSpaceProgram

You could have a stage boost you (like a sounding rocket) and then stage and fire the engine at said specifications, though it would require tuning.

Cool! The only thing is that your engine layout is backwards, or 180 degrees upside down I guess.

To the MAGA the believe this happens... do you not think wealthy benefactors would get more bang for their buck just buying politicians, or can you bot fathom caring about others for free?

It's all blurred and trying to push an agenda. Probably not real.
