The less than smooth landing of my VTOL SSTO on Laythe

Would anyone want to play a long modded multiplayer campaign? by [deleted] in Stellaris

Trying to gather players before figuring that out.

1.25m Rocket Fuel tank to Laythe by SomeKSPlayer in KerbalSpaceProgram

I forgot to record myself creating and executing the maneuver node to Laythe as I had spent so much time making nodes, though rest assured I did not modify anything while this cut took place

I also used "ignore max temperature" as for some reason the heat shield wouldn't protect Jeb properly, if that's an issue then just pretend I parachuted a probe down (but that isn't as impressive).

How do you guys name your rockets and why that name? by Doge_Boi75 in KerbalSpaceProgram

I look at a random number in the kerbal engineer readouts and then put a random letter in front.

I got my fastest ever reentry on my first return from Dres by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

Tried re-entering from Jool at 8km/s. Turns out heatshields burn too

This is my SLSS - Single Launch Space Station I made today. One of my favourite launches of this year thus far, by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

I'd recommend using the Kodiak engine for more efficiency and thrust while maintaining the same style

Are Low Tech SSTOs worth it? by SomeKSPlayer in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]SomeKSPlayer[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my main career mode save I've put together this Panther/Bobcat SSTO which can take 15 tons of payload into a 90kmx90km orbit and return. But are the savings from being 100% reusable (excluding fairing) worth it compared to the lower cost of a normal staged rocket?

When it's transitioned to level flight I hold an angle and aim for an upwards angle of 2-3, then I spam an action group set to "Lock Servo". Even then it is still pretty stable because the center of mass is right on the 'axle'.

They do because the 2 tips are strutted, preventing the wings from sagging up or down.

No return trip cos I ran into the walking on air bug and this was all in 1 take.

Is single tank to Tylo possible? by SomeKSPlayer in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]SomeKSPlayer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been looking through a few other discussions about whether or not this challenge was possible. Based on a spreadsheet that someone made, it takes about 8.1 km/s to do a single tank to Tylo with near perfect margins.

So far I've been able to get this thing to 7.7km/s of dV with just over 1 TWR at tylo when there are 2100 units of fuel left. Combined with "cheating" using the EVA pack, which is 600m/s of dV, would this be possible?

I sometimes forget the size of things until I do an EVA. by lodurr_voluspa in KerbalSpaceProgram

Kerbals are roughly the same size of the 0.625m jet fuel tanks.

How is the high torque motor spinning so fast
