about the launchpads and runways...
Nothalogh replied to Dimas152's topic in Suggestions & Development Discussion
A runway twice as long, and twice as wide would make more sense if its intent is for spaceplanes. A nice SpaceX style landing pad would be cool too. The launch pad is mostly fine, but we definitely need some better launch clamp options. -
Certainly, the tech tree needs to be straightened out. Simple structural components like adapters and girders are somehow harder to build and research than a goddamn turbojet, and let's not forget thermometers and barometers being more high tech than a MK1 capsule.

CKAN (The Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network); v1.25.4 - Kennedy
Nothalogh replied to politas's topic in Add-on Releases
Excellent, I'm glad it was something far more benign than what my cynical mind was leading me to conclude. -

So, is there a reason the forum links for each mod, in the CKAN metadata pane, were removed? -

Would SSTO's Honestly be better than multistage rockets?
Nothalogh replied to Spaced Out's topic in Science & Spaceflight
The rocket gods may be cruel, but they are honest -
More Nuclear Engines?
Nothalogh replied to TheKSPBeginner's topic in Suggestions & Development Discussion
Honestly, what is needed is a big honkin 3.75m nuke. Because as it currently stands, a truckload of Rhinos are the only way to move anything huge around the Kerbol system, without taking decades for each burn. -
It seems largely doable, especially coming in on a trajectory over the south pole, into one of the southern oceans. Be prepared to Thor Heyrdahl your way to land, though

That's a marketing problem

It's not called the Senate Launch System for no reason

But I'm trying to do things correctly, and bleed speed off above 50km with a high AoA . Your plan would keep me stable, but stuff me face first into the soup at over 2km/s

Likely all that nice fresh paint being burnt off Never had luck on winged reentry without RCS to maintain attitude

There is no response to to a statement such as this that wouldn't get me banned
-
That's my point. Von Braun gave us something, something he believed we would value and build upon. And what have we done with it?
-
If that sentiment is the culmination of US rocket development, Werhner Von Braun should have just burnt his drawings and documentation

All those points are true, but Lockheed and Boeing, both separately and together, have shown little innovation or improvement on their rocket designs over the recent decades.
