i think that rocketlab has been very clever with the Neutron design; making it very stubby means that they can somewhat easily: -stretch it as they improve their engines/ put a 3rd stage - enlarge the fairing, i know it is not like KSP that you can do whatever you want, but falcon 9 has demostrated that a high finess ratio rocket can reliably carry a bigger paload fairing than it's body ( and even more so the new falcon heavy fairing). If the falcon 9 at 3.75 meters can carry a 5 meters fairing, probably the neutron 4.5 metrs width can accomodate a 6 meter fairing without too many issues.

the problem is the exact opposite, you have very low twr, unless you start doing some monsttruosity and even attach some srbs

aannd, we've got a static fire!

Are you seriously comparing the enlightenment, improvement in life and science and enjoyment ( we are on a forum about a videogame) in everyday life that the internet has given compared to astronomy? And it would still be massive, almost 50% of the earth population doesn't have internet connection. If you don't get how much important the internet is, try to sta completely offline for 1 month, you just can't . if he wouldn't care about damage he wouldn't have put his satellite in a low orbit, with blancket on the to get them a bit darker and it would have left all his 2nd stages in orbit, from what i recall, stats do that, not private companies if that would be the case, it would have been already done, but it is un-economical, this is why starlink will disrupt them. And in case of natural disaster?

[snip] and this is not true, the difference in payload between reusable and non reusable is around 30 % for falcon 9 ( 15.600 vs 22.800 kgs to leo), in case of starship is more because you are reusing both stages. Yeah, why not listening to Elon or Shotwell when there is this great unbiased youtuber who gives away numbers from is a**. Not really true as spacex is charging less than other operators, less enought to not leave money on the table, as it is free margin for them.

on one hand it's nice, on the other hand you would lose a big part of the game: learning how the movement on the 3 axis work, it would be a bit too easy to just set the altitude and make the game do the rest

i was using all the stock config, now i'll try copypasting the atmospheric limitation on all the modules in the kerbalism config of sounding rockets, let's see if it works

right now if i go and look in the config i already see that there is the limitation "atmospheric only" but it doesn't seem to work with kerbalism ( i can use them on the mun, landed or in orbit)

Hi, I love this little mod, especially for starting the game in somewhat of a hard mode, with rescale and Kerbalism. I wonder, there is a way to limit the use of the experiments package to only Kerbin with kerbalism? because right now you can use the everywhere, in every planet, in every biome at every altitude. Thx for the one who can give me a hand

as i said, he wasn't being sarcastic, he was genuine in saying that they were "dumb"

Now....is he being sarcastic or honestly straightforward? Imho it might be the 2nd this time, as we already saw dumb mistakes done ( sn3 explosion). If I'm right, we might see a 3 engine relight for landing for sn10

Gosh I didn't get that they are THAT close, it doesn't seem too intelligent, as one ship's RUD may cause the RUD of the other one

the 2nd moon is arriving

no, as per last blueprint, is just a 9 meter wide tube

eh...i think they are going for the 3rd one guys

there is a 1091 pages and counting thread about Spacex....and is usually in the top 3 spots. You can post it there

Imho they are building sn13-14 as backup for the 11-12 for the hypersonic flight. It is highly speculative, but Elon wants imho sn15 to be the first orbital one

tldr: 1)they have some contracts were they can choose between using falcon 9 and starship 2) She is positive about Starship reaching orbit in 2021 3) selling flight proven booster is easier than new ones 4) the sn8 has "de-risked" starship

this has to be the biggest "Wait....what?" moment i have ever had from Spacex. I would not be the engienieer in charge of that system, or maybe i would love to

eeehhhh yes, but actually no Blue origin's New Shepard goes up to 1 km/s, meanwhile a falcon 9 can go up to 3 kms/s meanwhile carrying a second stage with a paiload. A single landing lag of a falcon 9 is higher than the entirety of New Shepard. Falcon 9 encounter way higher reentry heating

it's for the year 2021

so: tomorrow they swap the flaps/buff out the dents and on the 17th they move it to the pad for testing?

the speed at which they work get more and more absurd everyday

amazing composite

we have seen the same from the starhopper 150m hop, and it meant that probably it was destrying itself
