  1. Yours might be the only time I allow something like that, prolly on a limbo category
  2. If I was half of the writer that you guys are then I'd make the reviews I definitely have the computer for most of the craft, just not the mods (I'm a noobish one, ya see) Also happy 500th reply to this thread
  3. I should've made a rule about no staging but now I'm intrigued
  4. But if you apply an angle of incidence then the heat may destroy the wings O_o
  5. You could probably keep it up as a really high Hybrid.
  6. Those things keep in a lot of air at somewhat high speeds you can yse them to keep whiplashes up at 26km if you're lucky
  7. I used some RAPIER/Whiplash combo, Whiplashes pushed me really fast up to speed and then the RAPIERs slowly accelerated me further
  8. If you want to, you can use FAR. But yes, stock parts only.
  9. If you mean ground stability, then use more gear in the back. And Medium gear are generally just better than small.
  10. @Klapaucius 1700m/s is impressive I will admit. Especially for a design as wide as that.
  11. I guess I could allow that. Does FAR include any parts?
  12. Able to go polar and back Is at least 3,769,911 / 2 if we want to use equatorial circumference. So your ranges are at least 1184955.5m I think. @XB-70A
  13. Well that would be 2032 pts right there. Congratulations on a limbo run. PS, nice videos on YT.
  14. @Zeiss Ikon So a Hohmann transfer from Earth to Pluto would have a period of 124.5 years since Earth has a 1 yr orbit and Pluto has a 248 yr orbit?
  15. I thought most non hohmann routes were done using Gravity Assists to make it almost as efficient as a Hohmann transfer.
  16. Non-Hohmann transfers aren't that bad to understand as they mostly are GA routes.
  17. Thank you @YNM, @Bill Phil and @VaPaL, I'll be looking at those tomorrow, assuming something else doesn't come up in my schedule. I've been trying to figure out why transfer windows seem so random and undefined but it's making more sense now after briefly skimming the sources you gave me. I'm a noob at space irl, so this is one thing I'll probably have the ost trouble with for a while.
  18. Thanks for the reply. I'll keep looking for some simple charts before really digging into it.
  19. I know that transfer windows are when it is most efficient to get to one location from another, but what are the rules of thumb irl?
