My issue is that if you are going to slow when you gain altitude, you aren't going fast enough to get enough air to go faster, I usually flatten out at around 1-2 km until 400m\s and then start climbing because otherwise I just lose speed as I climb even at full throttle.

Scott Manley made a video on the nuclear engine, put simply the nuke doesn't become superior to the LV-909 until around 5km/s of dv, don't know what it is for poodle, unless you're really patient and use 1 nuke per transfer ship the poodle is probably better.

Think of it as a computer file, if you move a file what you are really doing is destroying the file and creating an exact copy in the new location, but as far as anyone is concerned, the file has just moved. Also on this topic there is a great book called Implied Spaces where they take it one step further and make backups every now and then so that if you die, a new copy of you is created from the last backup. The main character dies like 3 times.

For me it takes me to imgur, but then imgur says that the album I am trying to access does not exist.

I made a few Saturn replicas now and then, and I am ready for this challenge. Apollo 4 and 7 I didn't have enough time to de-orbit apollo 7 but I will soon.

I find that SSTO's in 1.0 need to be very areodynamic, flat wings just don't work, but if you make something that looks like a skinny arrowhead, it works quite well.

GameObject ball = GameObject.Instantiate(snowBall) as GameObject; ball.transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x + 0.3f * sideNum, transform.position.y + 0.2f, transform.position.z); ball.GetComponent<SnowBall>().side = side; break;

what we really need is a good way to add engines to the back of a mrk 3, the bicoupler for mrk 2 is awesome, can't we have something similar?

I also got similar problems, but only with mods, I have had to play pure stock because this happens otherwise.

if you just want to get off the moon, you can build a giant railgun on the surface.

Melted from munar ice. Flying on a commercial airline.

an interesting bonus would be a part count limit, under 500 parts or so, you get a bonus. Also a no-clipping bonus.

I have had many contracts asking me to test the small gear bay on escape trajectory from Kerbin. It's a WHEEL, how is this helpful?

How do keep them from exploding on re-entry? I can't figure it out.

Remember, this is a device that violates a scientific law with enough evidence that is not a theory but a LAW. Tons of people have supposedly come up with ideas for propellent less drives and perpetual motion machines that work on paper, until upon closer inspection they forgot to add the force of say, friction, to their machine. Humans are prone to error, physics is not, whenever a device supposedly violates the laws of physics your reaction should not be "I just created a device that proves science wrong" but instead "where did I mess up".

Well at least these new SSTO's look much more realistic with very swept wings, can it re-enter?

20. just wondering, how many times has each side won?

Wood. Pine Wood.

It's not that bad, and aside from alienware, it's hard to find a laptop that will match a Mac in performance and not weigh 3 times as much, I use a 6 year old macbook pro and I can use mods. (but not very many)

Perhaps life support? (personally, I would find that better than clouds, as long as you can turn it off).

humans can't, computers can. If you have ever seen a laser engraver you know the precision of computer operated lasers.

Just last week I lost respect for my science teacher when she insisted that friction caused meteors to heat up on re-entry, it does play a part but the air compressing is where most of the heat comes from. I have had this argument with EVERY SCIENCE TEACHER I HAVE HAD.

Coding is a process of figuring out want you want to do, and then either knowing how to do it or looking it up online, as you get more experienced, you move away from the latter more and more, but you never stop having to look stuff up.

I imagine it would look like a giant bullet hole, very deep but not much damage on either side, also that projectile in the video was moving nowhere near hypersonic speeds.
