    I would have suggested Hanger Extender, although you managed OK without it!

    Also the pointy Advanced nose cone is inferior to the round Aerodynamic Nose Cone in every way (except appearance perhaps). Unfortunately devs made an error with the drag.

    thx but I've already found HEE yesterday cause I'm planning to build another tower but 70 times higher that this, if my pc do not explode fist,
    I woul'd like to launch starting close to the atmo edge, I'll try it soon.

    I'm not registered in bugs.ksp.com but it's long time I know about those cones behavior, and apart these are only some funny test experiments,
    I'm not the kind of person that exploits a ridiculous easily fixable bug like that only in order to gain some dV,
    I always first look at the design and all my rockets have, when possible, the appearance of the ESA Ariane,     so I only use, Advanced Nose Cone - Type B and/or
    C7 Brand Adapter Slanted - 2.5m to 1.25m and/or Mk3 to 2.5m Adapter Slanted.
    In few words I prefer to see a slanted cone instead of a symmetrical vertical one or a non-aerodynamic one.
    They are ugly, aren't they?
    And apart all, come on, look at this: Part imageand it's called aerodynamic.
    Are we in "the Dictator" movie? Where the Aladeen's Engineer built a round-tipped rocket?

    This is the design I want for my rockets:

    Why the NASA SLS don't use slanted cones?

    Thx by the way.

    I have been having a lot of trouble with the "advanced transfer". It just doesn't seem to be as reliable as it used to be. Sometimes works, sometimes gives wonky answers.

    However, I love the new more general two-burn transfer planner compared to the old in-plane Hohman planner.

    About the "Advanced Transfer", can I know at which LKO altitude you start from?
    I'm asking this cause of I always noticed that under about 120km, it doesn't work well.

    Secondarily, when you talk about "two-burn transfer planner" I presume you're talking about the
    "bi-impulsive transfer to target", in this case I have a question:
    why it is called "Bi" Impulsive if it creates one node only?
    As far as I know the only mod that creates two nodes is Astrogator and it works like "MJ Adv Transfer",
    I mean that it works even when you are not in the same SOI of the target.
    Not like the Bi-Impulsive that works only in the same SOI.

    A heated debate?  Interesting.  What is there to get heated about?  It does not seem like the type of thing to elicit strong reactions.

    whether or not this is the kind of thing to elicit strong reactions, I can't know that.
    For my part, I have always had multimonitor configurations, and apart from that,
    who today does not have a pc with 2 monitors or just a notebook connected to a TV?
    That said, ever since I started playing KSP, ie before the release of "1.2: Loud and Clear",
    I've always wanted to have the rocket view on the main monitor and the map on the secondary.
    So, imho, it should be a must have feature.

    what a poor imagination, it doesn't even sound close to antipro, that anyway is a compound word including
    Anti = "    opposed to; against." and Pro = "I can't tell you what it means here, I can only say it doesn't mean "Pro Gamer" or "Professional".

    A better than awful movie does not make it a good movie.

    ahah! That's right and funny, but dudes you won't be able to make me say that Dune sucks.

    So, what do you think about Idiocracy (Judge, 2006)?
    It's a quasi-sci-fi movie and it's a cult, I find it very funny.

    Dune (1984)

    Dune in Hall of Shame? De gustibus non est disputandum but are you mad?
    It's a cult movie with Patrick Stewart, Sting (musician), Sean Young, Max von Sydow, Virginia Madsen, Kyle MacLachlan. etc.

    I made a 100x100px rotating kerbin animation that fits the forum avatar file size restriction(Max file size: 0.25MB).
    You can use it as an avatar if you want.
    The GIF works, the WebP does not, returning this message:
    "Sorry, an unknown server error occurred when uploading this file.
    (Error code: imagecreatefromstring(): Couldn't create GD Image Stream out of Data)".

    My Spotify Favorites List counts something like 600 songs and just because I removed at least 400 more,
    years ago I had around 1200+ songs in total of all genres, the majority of which is essentially rock and classic rock.

    These are the first and last one, if sorted by title name:

    Hello i talk spanish personally and this is wrong (I know that it is translated but with the word ship I feel the need to say this) it is actually said "nave" or "cohete"

    Interesting, indeed "barco" (or "barca" in ita) = boat.
    "nave" or "astronave"(spa/ita) = ship or spaceship.

    Looking for "cohete" etymology I've found:
    "las palabras cohete y cuete vienen del catalán coet (canuto que sale volando explusando una cola de fuego) y este de coa (cola). Coa vien del latin cauda (ver: cola y coda)."

    the words "cohete" and "cuete" come from the Catalan "coet" (joint that flies off, expelling a tail of fire) and this from "coa" (tail). Coa vien from Latin cauda (see: tail and coda).

    Rocket = Cohete(spa) = Razzo(ita)
