With mods it's relatively simple. Just put a craft in geostat orbit containing a module that has some code borrowed from extraplanetary launchpads that can spawn ships. A button at the space centre lets you load a ship from a craft file similarly to the launchpad/runway. And when you press launch, the mod switches to the vessel in geostat orbit posing as a space elevator and loads the ship on a platform. A small station keeping script constantly makes sure that while the "elevator" is technically a ship, it is constantly repositioned to act more like an elevator. If you allow mods without restriction. Anything becomes possible. It's like having God on your side personally altering physics to suit your needs.

Not even close to real-world physics. Stacking engines on top of each other is not feasible in the real world. Rockets generate thrust by using Newton's third law of motion and expelling tons of gas. If those gas particles hit a part of the rocket (another engine) then it will slow the rocket. Think about someone using a fan to blow on the sail of his boat. That person wont be travelling very far, nor will he go very fast. He's better off forgetting about the sail and turning the fan around to push propel his boat.

Krazy_Tom Biggest obstacle would be orbital velocity. In KSP orbital velocity is about 3400m/s but irl about 8000. Twice the dv means a payload fraction nearly 9times more (e^2). In terms of using monopropellant, a lot of missiles used to use it (now use solid) but had dedicated engines rather than millions of thrusters. Realism overhaul and "Things KSP doesn't teach" is a good starting point for any game/reality debate, the principles can apply to most issues

You really want to launch from the east coast if possible, because you're launching to the east so you're not fighting against the earths rotation. And you don't want to be dropping your boosters on some poort town or city (China has had this problem but for them citizens are a secondary problem at best, which is why they don't mind dropping toxic fuel tanks near villages.) And going back to the earths rotation, you also want to be as close as possible to the equator, because that way you'll already be spinning at a pretty significant velocity. The actual gain from altitude is much smaller than the one from launching near the equator. So yes, if you had a mountain on the east coast near the equator, that would be the perfect launch site, but sadly the united states does not have such a location. Also you have the added complication of getting the rocket on the mountain in the first place, since constructing it there would be a major inconvencience.

Challenge: get as many parts as you can (no matter what they are) into orbit and back. Hard mode: land it somewhere and get back. Counted are the # of parts that come back.

Seems like this would make a pretty good baloon or airplane launched rocket. Might even be able to do some useful things.
@ANBUEliet7 жыл бұрын
Can't help but think the first launch that used 5-6 extra units of monopropellant before staging carrying all that dead weight somehow had more to do with the extra 20km than the height of the second launch which transitioned perfectly into the second stage. Just my opinion.

I'm led to wonder how much better the LV-1R Spider would fare. A quick glance shows the LV-1 Ant would actually be a lot worse, for the first few stages at least.

Is it possible to make something like stanford torus AROUND planet? Will this hoola hoop be messed with the gravity? should it be built like many sections at the same time or it won't land on top of the planet if constructed sequentially?

interesting. I've just recently built a Minmus miner probe only from RCS since I need those anyway to dock to the orbiting return vessel. Gravity there really is ridiculously low.

since you got it to 3k height, you could actually launch it on the moon from earth, and with good enough reactions just land on the moon in spite of speed differences (since the kerbin rotates faster than mun orbits, maybe about 1/4 the way there would provide enough force to fling the ship to the moon reasonably, and with godly optimization would take only one fuel tank!)

An alternative to using hundreds of stock RCS thrusters would be to simply utilize TweakScale. Yes, It's a mod, yes, consoles would be excluded from this, but hey, PC Gaming Master Race, yeah? It's also a partless mod and balances things out nicely - a 200% sized thruster might give you 8 times the thrust, but it also costs and weighs 8 times as much, too. A nice way of keeping down part counts while still getting the performance you desire.

Haha, typical. The first rocket gets to 109,000m. The second gets to 119,000m. Scott claims to have gained 20km of height! Reminds me of a friend I had at uni doing astrophysics. He once told me that the maths was fine, so long as it was within one order of magnitude :P
