  1. Hmm. Your question is quickly answered: Terrier, Poodle, Aerospike. also the Spark is pretty good because it's so lightweight. But of course you won't get the delta V you would get with the LV-N. It's high specific impulse cannot be beaten, but it comes at the cost of a very low TWR.
  2. @StupidAndy you're not on Antarkica!
  3. Hi guys! I made my Abitur (equivalent of a high school degree) in 2012. Now, I'm studying physics and chemistry and want to become a teacher. Due to a change in subject and side-jobs I had, I won't be finished until 2020 or thereabouts. My university: Universität des Saarlandes in Germany
  4. You can simply put the rocket engine (e.g. A terrier) on the front of your plane and flip it to circularize.
  5. Those were the days? I'm still watching it every Sunday.
  6. I'm not sure I got this thread right. How does this work?
  7. Good thing it's a DLC, so all those people complaining here have the option simply not to buy it. Stop complaining and go play League of Legends, that's what you get for free.
  8. It can't be seen so it doesn't matter.
  9. Don't tell me you modded your original steam install. I made that mistake once.
  10. so if only 29% die, I failed? I don't kill Kerbals on purpose, I kill enough by accident already!
  11. @NSEP 5 points because it's a pentagon shape. @cratercracker 4 points. A square, really?
  12. You shouldn't build a permanent base. It's very inexpensive to take stuff up to Gilly Orbit, so why not take the whole mining Rig up into Gilly orbit instead of docking with it on the surface?
  13. The easiest way would be using Kepler's second law (also called law of Ares) to calculate the time needed for the transfer and then backtrack the planets position. Tell me if you need more detail and I'll write it tomorrow. Good night.
  14. T-32 gets destroyed by Aluminium powder and rust. Thermite
  15. This is the 11.111 th post in the announcements forum: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DLC! *musik starting to play* I'm so excited, and I just can't hide itI'm about to lose control and I think I like itI'm so excited, and I just can't hide itAnd I know, I know, I know, I knowI know I want youWe shouldn't even think about tomorrowSweet memories will last a long, long time We'll have a good time baby, don't you worryAnd if we're still playing 'round, boy that's just fineLet's get excited, we just can't hide itI'm about to lose control and I think I like itI'm so excited, and I just can't hide itAnd I know, I know, I know, I knowI know I want you, I want you
  16. I'd like to have Olympus Mons on duna. A mountain so tall that it nearly (or literally) sticks out of the atmosphere. now you have to coincider Dunas topography when aerobreaking. I'm not a fan of sharp edges or steep slopes on duna, as you pointed out yourself, we have plenty of that in the Kerbol system already.
  17. Welcome! The forums are a great place to discuss the game or other space things, ask questions or pass on your own wisdom to other players. We also have a lot of challenges for you to participate in.
  18. In reality, many spacecraft do burn past Apogee to circularize, including the Saturn 5. They do this to reduce dry mass by using fewer/smaller engines thereby reducing TWR. It's a trade off, they now have to deviate from prograde to perfectly circularize. Rockets with a higher TWR later in the Ascent phase (e.g. Falcon 9 or the Space-Shuttle) don't necessarily need to do this.
