What about floating intakes?!?!?! Danny2462 had a video about those. Jet skis, float planes, whatever.

If you have no quick saves / reverts I wouldn’t recommend using kerbalism, as it by itself was very difficult for me. However there is a mod that adds random launch failures, and although it sounds like a bad thing it is quite fun with no reverts as it means you need to add a functional LES to every crewed mission unless you want to face even more extreme risks. I found this to be pretty fun.

Watched the whole thing (the interesting bits) a couple months ago! It was an amazing experience, thanks for creating it. -
My approach was just to crack my knuckles and make a half automated kOS script. This script automatically throttled the engines properly for a suicide burn and a soft landing, I couldn’t do the massive amount of maths required to guide the rocket automatically. Making the f9 land autonomously is no easy job, I’m sure spacex has poured thousands of man hours into making their script.

9/10, makes you think.

Once upon a time in one of my many career saves I needed to deliver repeated payloads weighing up to 70 tons to LKO, and so I designed a fully stock reusable booster and go full spaceX. The single core could lift 30 tons, but to lift the 70 required I needed to go falcon heavy style. I could actually recover all three boosters using SMRS (I think that’s what it’s called? It’s the mod that lets you go back to stage separation to land boosters and benefit) 2 landed back at KSC, one landed one a drone ship using some assistance from a kOS script. The second stage could *kinda* be recovered. It worked! But the whole thing about *repeated* launches got kind of tedious. Well, really tedious. One launch took 20 min just to get to LKO in order to properly land each of the boosters. Then I devised a SSTO to do the job. I gave it huge wings and plenty of rapiers located near the COM so it was actually really well balanced. It could lift 75 tons to orbit EASY! And the whole mission only took about 6 minutes. The only downside was space. I really had to cram some stuff in the MK3 cargo bay in order to get to orbit whereas with the heavy rocket everything was enclosed in a fairing. Oh, and the SSTO had much better returns too, less fuel was burned and the recovered rate was 100% if I landed it on the runway whereas the rocket would have 2 land on the grass and one on a ship very far out. (I’ll try to remember to add pics to this post when I get to my pc so you guys see my designs.)

6/10, reassuring

You cannot see anything new with your superpower because it is too focused on seeing the whole universe, which you were already a part of. I would like my superpower to be the ability to move objects I touch with my mind. Like super strength and telekenesis combined.

Nobody faught, and you needed to pay off loans so you sold the hill to the highest bidder. i bid 8. (you won’t know what I bid 8 of, so you cannot outbid me)

Just went the fastest I've ever gone @ Sea Level

I had some leftover fuel at the end of a space plane mission and I needed a flat place to land so I decided to speed at around 1500m/s at 20km to the ice caps but I couldn’t go much faster than 900m/s ASL without ripping to bits -
If you were the first person on mars, what would you say?
