SN7.2's vents have shut off, they may be going for a pop today! Edit: No pop, but the valves released quite suddenly and violently. Could have been a valve failure. -

Probably, but it's likely they're just proof-testing it today. They'll most likely test to destruction at some point. -

That's SN7.2, the new test tank using 3mm thick steel. It's white because they've loaded liquid nitrogen to test the integrity of the tank. -

There is at least provision for 4 Raptors. Maybe plans have changed, or they intend to do more BN1 hops with more than 2 engines. -

RealKerbal3x replied to Skylon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Not an official render, but it's going off what the BN1 aft dome spotted yesterday looked like: There appears to be space for 8 Raptors (though on this particular dome only 4 are plumbed in). I have a feeling the engines might be slightly closer together than depicted in that render, though. Edit: Also: -

Everyone's experienced the crushing disappointment when you realise Proton doesn't have six strap-on boosters -

Booster separation question
RealKerbal3x replied to Kerbal Productions's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
@Helvica_Ring_Scientist You can use Sepratrons to push boosters away after separation, if that's what you mean. There's also a fuel tank in Making History which has a small solid-fuel separation thruster built in. -

They need to unchain the flaps before they leave, not sure how long that will take. Maybe 30 more min at most? Also -

KSP crashing
RealKerbal3x replied to KerbalDad's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs)
@KerbalDad I would recommend trying to reproduce the bug with only KRPC installed. If it keeps happening, then it's an issue with KRPC and you should ask the developers of that mod. If it stops happening then it's an issue with another mod and you can find which mod that is by removing the other mods one by one and testing it. -
