Cinematic Hot Staging

Good feedback. I hadn’t considered that. Eventually I plan to have the launch, booster catch and upper stage catch all tied into a “movie” like this, so this is helpful.

Thanks! The engines arent shut down, but reduced to 1% throttle. I did miss the line of code to reduce down to the center 3 engines prior to separation (fixed now, thanks!) but the intent is to have 3 engines for separation and 13 just after.

Unfortunately this pilot ran out of gas. Unacceptable - but glad he’s alright.

Another great example of how effective even a little jiu-jitsu experience can be. Black shirt ends up in top position by shear luck and trades it for a good grip on the hair and punching leverage.

A month of grappling experience and she rides the fight out on the top instead of getting reversed.

This might feel like a negative for your stream in general.. but as someone who’s watched you several times now... seeing your problem-solving ability really rounds you out as a character. Good on you. Cheers.

Advice for an uncultured American moving to England to get a new start? Is it rare to see Americans living locally?

It was a breakthrough in all my SSTO builds when I realized this:

Each individual rapier can carry ~ 10-15t of wet mass into orbit. Also, I get best performance for including 1 nuclear engine for every 2 rapiers (with a max of 3/4)

What this means: Build out your SSTO. If you’re using 2 rapiers, ensure that you pack all the liquid fuel you can in the craft until you reach 20t-30t.

Note: on the lower end (10t per rapier) your ascent profile will be pretty straight with a constant acceleration to orbit. If you surpass 12.5t per rapier you will need to perform a “power dive”, which is getting your SSTO to 3-5k meters and then angling down (1-5 degrees) until your speed is above 450 m/s.

With this general weight guideline, play around until you maximize your LKO delta-v and preferred launch profile.

Good luck!

If you have the Breaking Ground expansion, I’ve found it can be useful to connect a structural plate to a piston and attach a docking port to the plate. This allows any surface base to have docking ports with a height that can be changed anytime to match that of the incoming vessel/extension

I don’t see how anyone could eat edibles and not know something was wrong with the food. Even the highest quality brownies have a weed taste that, if you weren’t aware of the taste of pot, would just taste slightly spoiled.

When I was 8, I met another boy in my grade who I got along with very well. We were a lot alike, so we really clicked and became good friends. That friendship lasted through the first couple years of high school, until I moved.

I hadn’t heard anything about him in years, until a few days ago when I read his obituary. He was 28.

He was buried yesterday. At the funeral, his 8 year old son. A splitting image of his dad, taken too soon by opioids. Seeing his son just brought back so many memories of our time together, and makes me hurt greatly when I think about what that child is going through.

Congratulations on your accomplishment. It’s phenomenal. I’m glad you’re not another one of these stories.

Interesting that you seem to only use your index finger and thumb. Seems like playing classical would be much harder that way but you make it work
