So cryogenic, but not super-cooled -

Xd the great replied to Skylon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Yes, the fuel tanks is a big problem, they are working on it. If they have such huge fuel tanks, and it will be almost empty when they arrive on Mars, do they really need to keep it cryogenic? Or is it done to increase engine efficiency? -
It is pretty well-known for modders, but it will still be a good thread just in case others want to learn modding. As a new modder, this is what I suggest doing. Create a new .cfg, use a new name for the part, select the relevant model(.mu), change whatever resources as you like, then add a line that gives it a new texture. I also suggest making a copy of the ksp before messing around with the .cfgs. Or download mods and learn from them.

Method 1: one giant tank with drill, convertors, docking stuff, engines, legs, and solar panels. Basically launch the entire setup into space. Method 2: a drilling base, a rover with klaws for docking and transferring fuel, and a giant labder for transporting fuel back to space. Method 3: similar to method 2, but the rover is actually a mobile mining base.

SpaceX has tested and burst their giant balls with liquid oxygen. On a serious note, cryogenics and composites dont mix well, but i doubt the fuel needed to be stored cryogenically during most interplanetary flight, since they burned most of it already. -
Help me escape the atmosphere
Xd the great replied to zyco187's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
He has problem of getting into orbit, not building a rocket. The launch profile is incredibly inefficient, but it is too simple. -

Ahh thanks. Thats why all my space shuttles crash in ksp. Never knew that. -

Or, launch straight up, then burn sideways. Build a bigger rocket. Use more liquid fueled gimbal engines. Use less solid rocket boosters. -
I do a rss install in v 1.4.5 along with all the dependencies. Expect bugs, as I believe the dependencies may not have been updated to v 1.4.5. Also, use something like real scale boosters.

Graphics Glitch and Possible Mod conflict?
Xd the great replied to memyselfandI's topic in KSP1 Mods Discussions
I guess its ksc switcher. I experience the same thing on v 1.4.5, which I suspect is the reason. Still, the buttons work, so i dont care. -

Seriously, how does elon plan on making the bfr stable during launch? It has wings in the middle and cnards in front. -

Xd the great replied to Skylon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I doubt it. Assuming the bfr uses a launch profile similar to a falcon 9, stage seperation at 6000km/h, about 6000m/s delta v will be needed. Which is about 2/3 delta V of a full bfs. So, at most the bfs will be half empty. I did not do the math, but rely on kerbal ecperience for this. -

I guess that spaceX will build a sfs, with 3m in diameter and mount it on a falcon 9 for testing. Or falcon heavy. -
Service bay reentry

Delete the game and reinstall. -
Problem with scatter 1.3.1
Xd the great replied to tsd's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs)
Ask on the scatterer thread? Seems like a file error. I suggest redownloading the mod. -
NASA wants to prolong ISS operation till 2028-2030
Xd the great replied to Cassel's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Because why build a new space station when you can just reuse the old one? -

Another reason to cancel the moon space station. -

Maybe he should take up ksp to wreck some rockets. -

Did he get addicted to it? -

Xd the great replied to zyco187's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
I am definitely the laziest person in here, so i say 8 solid rocket boosters. If insufficient, do 16. Should be more tyan enough to launch you to a high orbit. -

Does elon himself play ksp? Squad, start working on bfr parts.
