    KSP Weekly: The Martian Race

    in KSP1 The Daily Kerbal

    Posted

    Woah... a lot of stuff this week. I like the Mk1-3, although I feel like there's a lot of unused space, which I'm not a big fan of. I like Micheal bay-style so-much-stuff-that-I-can't-process-all-of-it-so-I-think-woah-that-looks-super-wow style clutter (although it isn't kind to my old 2010 Toshiba clunker)

    My prayers go out to the team and your families at this time. They also go out to everyone else who was affected by this tragic event. I hope for guidance and mercy for the people who have lost their lives.

    I can say that I don't mind if the updates to the game are delayed if you all take time to recover and help your loved ones and your city to recover. Take time off if you need to.

    I am lucky to have never experienced that kind of fear, and i really hope nobody here ever has to again. Best of luck.

    @MatterBeam That's not actually that much... it's amazing what science can do

    @SaturnianBlue If you want to read through this report, it's a modern-day (so a bit in the past) concept that I did for school last year. However, it may help. I spent a good quarter year working on that thing (and ended up getting a 100%), so it's very refined word-wise, but there may be some info you want.

    @MatterBeam an interesting point about the exhaust velocities- I hadn't thought of that.

    However, the aerobraking would only be at the end of the journey, and it would decelerate towards the planet before hand. The amount of thermal energy released from slowing down from 0.2c to 2750 m/s would be incredible

    Deuterium-Tritium is used in Hydrogen Bombs today, but H-3 would be more effective.

    I was thinking that if I could magnetically accelerate the H-3 and Deuterium to incredible speeds with a 500 meter long engine, it may work. Would that be possible?

    So what song is stuck in your head today?

    Well, I was bored, and decided to ruin Lovely by twenty one pilots. After about 15 minutes of screwing around, I got this:

    And now the original is stuck in my head

    I've been listening to their Regional At Best album a lot because it helps me deal with my stress, so I've also had these two stuck in my head today:

    ^^That's probably my favourite song right now^^

    @Kosmonaut I don't think ion engines would work for that task—using a low thrust antimatter drive or just fusion would be more effective, and the fact that it doesn't have to use antimatter for the whole trip is helpful. If you've got a massive laser installation on the other end, you could use it to slow the vessel down.

    Yes, I suppose- I was just going for cheap and easy exploration. The way I designed it was as the first starship, so it wasn't really meant for laser installations at the other end
