I finally made a burn to orbit launch!
Guywithpants replied to VincentMcConnell's topic in KSP1 Discussion
I would assume that the most effective way would be to somehow time your tilting so perfectly that you stay right with the Ap. Basically, you\'d need to take a LONG time to pitch over completely. My guess would be to get only a few thousand meters up then very slowly pitch over, so that by the time you\'re leaving the atmosphere you\'re nearly horizontal. I think the key here is patience, above all else. -
Favorite cheese would either be Mozzarella or Brie.

A lot more than that, imho. -

Damn, that\'s a hard-hitting video. I definitely agree we should try to spread it. -
ROUGH remake of the Saturn V
Guywithpants replied to Guywithpants's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
It uses the eject tower from Sunday punch. The rest is vanilla though I'm pretty sure. -
It LOOKS (sort of) like a Saturn V, and it flies, but certainly not as far or as reliably. The SRBs are needed. Press space 3 times, and the explosion of them gets the big thing going.

Awesome!

This is the Velox OR1, another ship I've built. It's brought up to speed by five liquid fuel engines and then five subsequent SRBs, and it requires no SAS modules other than one at the top. It's ridiculously stable. Will get you about 1 fuel tank to work with once in orbit if piloted correctly, more than enough for anyone. I have not attempted this yet, but it's also likely escape capable, though it may come just short.
