    I get what you mean it was down to the barge going up and down. F9 landing legs are tougher than i thought! Edit: i thought we were still talking about today's launch. Then i Read the fh thingy. Confusion ensued.

    Ja maar daar is ook alles mee gezegd. *A dutch saying that means: yeah but that's about it.

    Was sondering about this too, engine seemed to cut off a few meters above the badge.
  4. Flying dutchman
    I am definitly doing this later

    No, too much drag sadly.. off course it is possible for prop Planes going less than 250m/s but when you are trying to go this fast the amount of drag i simply too much.. Btw as i already stated i understand that 480 m/s is not enough. But i thought that before because of An error in my calculations.
  6. Flying dutchman
    you really don't have to get this angry, some people like the challenge. and i thought that you only needed 460m/s (which would be doable) because of a calculation error i'm sorry but it happens.
  7. Flying dutchman
    Not yet but i highly doubt this would give me any advantage over rtg's when you consider the distance.
  8. Flying dutchman
    aaaaand that pretty much ruined it. the problem is that to be able to carry 16 tonnes worth of rtg's (and batteries would weigh even more) i need more wing area which reduces my top speed to just under mach 1. i wonder if the topic starter ( @Mars-Bound Hokie) would allow me to use infinite electricity in light of the extra difficulty i already expercience because of the way i want to complete this challenge.

    Did 480 m/s which is enough. It is a son of a b*tch to fly though and i still need to make it self sufficient power wise.. 178 electric charge per second is going to be difficult, i'll probably weld some rtg's together to be able to run in with decent framerate.

    I'm trying to do this in a supersonic propeller aircraft. I need a minimum speed of 460 m/s but the best i've been able to do is 360 m/s, Just over mach 1 so wish me luck :p
  11. Flying dutchman
    It could be. It's Just about enough but only Just. Apparently one story is 4.3m so the building would be 129m

    That bulkhead looks very clean by silo standarts!

    So.. nothing happening with Starship at all?

    i'm currently working on an rss+ro install on 1.6.1 the problem i'm having is that despite having the correct version of procedural parts the parts simply don't show up in the vab.

    If we could somehow build a one tonne 1000mw reactor with a 1000mw laser a lightyear could be traversed in 112 years
  16. Flying dutchman
    Wow, so to accelerate 1m/s it would take 10.5 years Or just under 4 days.. really terrible a maths.. What i did (1000mm ÷ 0,003mm) ÷3600÷24 =3.85 days for 1 m/s and that is about 94m/s per year
  17. Flying dutchman
    So in theory, if you had a spacecraft that consisted of a 1 metric tonne 1mw nuclear reactor and that was being propelled by a 1mw laser with a thrust of 0.003 newtons, what would be your acceleration in mm/s/s ? I'm terrible at maths
  18. Flying dutchman
    if you had a laser pointer in space, would it generate thrust?
  19. Flying dutchman
    That would really open up some possibilities :p
  20. Flying dutchman
    I'm sorry but how do you get 4800 vacuum dv? With a single nuclear engine a command seat and a full tank my vacuum dv would be no more than 4000 Edit: or are you allowed to drain some oxidiser in the vab?
  21. Flying dutchman
    I've gotten it into orbit with 2435 m/s remaining.. any trip suggestions?
  22. Flying dutchman
    So we can only use the engines from some mod.. i'm sorry but that really takes the fun out of it for me.
  23. Flying dutchman
    Good luck you'll need it. No object thrower.
  24. Flying dutchman
    I tried a 300 t 5m diameter projectile and collided at 300 m/s. Did not work.

    was using mouspad, got it working with normal mouse.
