Thanks for the "correction" - at the exact second you linked you can see I disabled the decoupler action of that piece, because it was only used as a spacer part to more realistically emulate the Vostok shape, and that if you'd continued watching the video you can see that I used the capsule's in-built decoupler to separate the craft prior to re-entry.

@@Stepan_Pavlov Еще один сторонник теорий заговора) Даже наш президент верит, что они были на Луне. Да и доказательств море. За радиосигналами с Аполлона наблюдали из СССР с большого количества точек, и никаких отклонений или аномалий замечено не было. А что касается съемок - в те годы не существовало никаких технологий, чтобы сделать настолько правдоподобные записи. Первый в мире фильм с использованием CGI вышел уже после завершения всей программы. И еще, на записях с Аполлона 16 видно, что ровер несколько минут ехал вперед, не делая никаких остановок или поворотов. Как они могли подделать такое?

This is my favorite KZbinr I feel like everyone watching this video should subscribe hit the notification bell and like the video (also Matt I really would like a matts mod review where every once and a while you review a mod and maybe try to complete a challenge with that mod)

[@therocketsciencekid]

You didn’t hot stage matt. You’re supposed to fire the RD-0105 upper stage before the main RD-108 core cuts out for ullage reasons (that is, air bubbles in the tank. if the fuel is allowed to float around, then you get air in the engine feedlines and bad things happen. This is why the lattice structure exists: so that the engine exhaust has somewhere to go when the upper stage engine is fired early. You can also get ullage with RCS or solid ullage motors, but the Soviets went “screw it” and just fired the upper stage early.

[@andrejterzic9213]

You could also do Germany, V-2s were the first rockets to reach the space
