  1. Does supersonic condensation clouds, as found in the trailer, count?
  2. When the Leaning Pisa of Tower lands after flying to Mars.
  3. How can it land on a single engine? Wouldn't the lateral force from the engine cause it to tip?
  4. I thought mks need 3 engines for landing. Anyway, how roasted will the pad be? Won't be surprised if they need a new sound suppresion system.
  5. If the landing pad has no flame trench, the pad will take the full blast of 3 Raptors.
  6. Just curious, how will concrete last against rocket exhaust?
  7. Or taking a cargo starship apart for building houses. I don't want to live in a fuel tank.
  8. Pretty sure hot gas thrusters do not have that much thrust. If landing and tipping over, tip velocity is about 12m/s, or 40km/h. Car crash?
  9. Take my funds! *Shoves 60 dollars into steam account Stock game will have larger diameter parts.
  10. Hmm. Was it on the leeward or the windward side? It was shielded from the heat already by dragon's heat shield.
  11. Looks like solid fuel to me too. I also suggest looking at exhaust from different fuel mix. High carbon rockets have smoky/yellowish exhaust from incomplete combustion, and a bit of free carbon. Liquid hydrogen engines have practically invisible exhaust (water vapour is essentially colourless) N2O4/UDMH or N2O4/MMH engines have less visible exhaust due to more complete combustion/lower carbon content. Same for methaneLOX engines.
  12. New emotes will be released. Mostly terrified kerbals. Kerbals will sway their heads to G-forces, as well as feel scared. HOW COME I NEVER REALIZE I NEED THIS?
  13. I have a feeling my friend will crash a ship into it "accidentally". Request permission to blow up entire colony with nukes.
  14. 30 something engines. Sounds familiar. Modular design is key here. If a big dumb rocket can land itself, is it still dumb?
  15. No. 1 raptor has a thrust of 2000kN. 1 starship mass is 110 tonnes. Moon gravity is 1/6th of that of earth. Weight of empty starship is about 180kN. Raptor min throttle is about 50%. Or 1000kN. (Might be lower, I forgot).
  16. Star theory says that exploding fuel tanks will have shockwaves. Now, I expect this to be implemented for Orion Drive. Kaboom.
  17. I can already see a ton of damage that can be dealt with this. Imagine all the Interplanetary Ships, fighters, carriers, FOBs, and NUCLEAR MISSILES (with orion drive/nukes for the drive)!
  18. Can someone teach me about air augmented nozzle? I see this has popped up a lot in this thread.
  19. Hmm, sounds fun. Can we strap a kerbal to a chair and call it a craft?
  20. "Guys, the world is really ro..." *Dies Flat Earthers: NASA SILENCED OUR FRIEND FOR SPEAKING OUT THE TRUTH!
