Reinhart Mk.1

i could probably use the mk.1 service bay and clip it into there buuuut it's kinda ugly, not sure it would work, and seems a bit cheaty

I'd say do it as a challenge, but it doesn't seem practical

You're focusing on the wrong things man, KSP is already a great game. KSP2 is just an improvement on that

it's doable! but it's just a bit too risky. but thank you, same to you!

next challenge: land on the sun

with a bigger ssto i could, i just try to make them as small as possible haha

With SSTO's it's much better to fly flat and let your speed build to let the drag naturally push you upwards and then about halfway just keep it locked on prograde. This really might just be advice for craft that have a low thrust to weight ration but I thought I'd add this because it seems counterintuitive but it actually makes sense when you go this route

the effect of it exploding and splitting the excrements completely in half was kinda cool in all honesty lol

thank you for understanding the significance of this, also did not know that about the mk1 capsule

honestly do not put this part on an SSTO (or spaceplane in-general), it makes re-entry a chore even if you never leave Kerbin's SOI. it "can" be done but i've found it very difficult for it to not explode and ruin the entire craft.

best answer really, the problem is really straightforward it seems. i did add two heat shields in the front and back of the SJ and while it still overheated, it didn't explode. so the question has been answered and thank you for everyone's input and answers

it means there are no stages in-general so im gonna have to argue that yes, it is an SSTO.

it's an SSTO i honestly might put one in front of the SJ (again this is an ssto so i can't ditch anything) that may help.. hmmm

found out the max temp was 1200, some intense spinning helped it enter without exploding but still... i never remember it being this sensitive

So I'm testing another SSTO and I've had SSTO's with SJ's on them but for some reason this one just keeps exploding on re-entry, everything else is fine but this thing always explodes even when coming in around 50k, i could just remove the part but... it would be nice to keep those extra science points

it was a lot simpler than i thought, i was just lazy lol

i should've planted one to better display how it looks but hey look i made my own flag

WHAT

Planes are just fancier rockets Also I've been meaning to get Xplane 11, how is it??

Thank you!!

Aw that's okay!

Yeah I just want something simple but nifty, do you do art??

I'll paypal you 5 bucks
