what with landed asteroid?

[antipro]

hi,
something can be done with an already landed asteroid? some science?
and how is possible that an although small, class A asteroid, floats in the water? all classes float?

I don't there's any in-game reason to have a landed asteroid. You could launch your rockets empty and mine it for propellant, but you could just mine Kerbin anyway.

@5thHorseman may have some ideas for fun things to do with asteroids on Kerbin.   I wonder if that would work with the new atmo.

Is there a new atmosphere system ? Oo

On my last asteroid deorbit attemps, it was still a bit unrealistic xD

I think KSP 1.0 revamped the atmosphere.

Whatever do you mean?

Yeah flying an asteroid with wings does NOT work in the new (as of 1.0) atmosphere.

Yes, I tried it

Hogwash!

1) Landing an asteroid on the KSC is fun.

2) Dragging an asteroid that landed close to the KSC is Fun.

3) Dragging an asteroid a decent distance is annoyingly fun.

4) Dragging an asteroid a long distance is annoying. 

5) KSC Building bowling anybody?

6) Asteroid golf.   Using rockets. 

7) Using Mt Whoopstooshort as a quarter pipe for rocket assisted asteroids. 

8) So So many more,   And since it's in the game, it is ingame.

You forgot that you could make a science car and get asteroid-specific science from each building in the KSC. Don't bump them too hard though!

Actually that may be fun enough to try.

Project Sisyphus.

Push the asteroid to a mountain top (the higher - the better) and roll it down.

Or push it into water, attach ballast from below and get a floating island.

Decorate it with attached things.

Never thought of that, might be kinda fun, especially with a class E

That would make some of the BDA Naval battles very interesting......
