KSP

2015 peak was the 1.0 release of the game. Also interesting how KSP2 bombed so hard it took KSP1 down with it

I'm having issues with the propellers. It works fine on Kerbin, but on Eve its impossible to control. Its like the CoL moves forward, and the plane wants to point retrograde once I get to a certain altitude. I can close the propeller service bays to regain control but lose control when I open them again. I guess I can try moving the propellers to the back of the plane, but would prefer them in the front to move the CoM forward since theres already a lot of weight with the engines on back. Anyone know whats happening?

Hyped for Artemis II!

We gotta get these kids involved in spaceflight somehow...

Trying for an Eve SSTO. I'm pretty happy with this one. It is almost perfectly balanced. The center of mass hardly moves at all as the fuel is used. The 2 electric rotors can get it up above 3500 meters on Kerbin and has enough delta v to make it to Minimus. I'm confident I'll be able to land on Eve but not as confident about making it back to orbit. I'm also a bit worried about heat at the speeds needed to get back to orbit. We shall see.

I was hoping I could use it to go to different biomes, but its much slower than I expected.

My attempt at a cheap rescue plane to rescue kerbalnauts in low orbit when I need more crew.

MCR launched a rocket so I had to recreate it

I plan on sending a mining rover to leave on the surface for refueling. It has 4 medium rotors that gives it a max speed of around 160m/s. I'm not confident it will be enough on Eve.

So all of them that I've seen use propellers to get out of the lowest part of the atmosphere, but once you get above 15000m, what twr and delta v do you need?

Anyone know what stats are needed? Is this good enough to make it?

Officially named the Giant Reusable Uhh...

This rocket is capable of putting 190 tons into orbit (quarter scale earth) with full reuse!

(the nuclear saltwater engines render the launch complex expendable)

Here I'm undocking the ISRU lander. I wanted to design a ship that wasn't lugging around unused lander engines by having them used as part of the main engines too. The lander also has all the science tools that can be used while landed, while the main ship has the science tools that can only be used in orbit along with a lab. The lander can make it to orbit of kerbin on its own, so it should be able to handle most planets and moons. I still need to test if the whole ship has enough delta v to make it from planet to planet.

I learned that the grabbers don't grab the ground but still work, and you don't have to worry about springs.
