Nice plane! Interesting choice to go with only one motor, I would've put two spinning opposite directions, but that's probably just the Kerbal in me saying moar thrust...

No. The stock LES spins the capsule so much it's impossible to use because half the time it's pointing DOWN while the LES SRBs are firing. If I really want a usable LES, i.e. historic rocket recreation like Apollo, while keeping the aesthetics, I'll empty the LES of fuel and clip some separatrons inside the nozzles. This was a solution I came across while making a Soyuz recreation. I wanted to make the LES as accurate as possible. This involved multiple fairings, as it splits in half and leaves the SM behind, but the big problem was that the Soyuz's LES has 2 series of SRBs that fire if the LES tower hasn't been jettisoned yet. I was using the stock LES for the first part, but it would get it spinning so much that the next set of SRBs pushed the craft toward the ground. I solved the problem by clipping separatrons into the LES and emptying the LES of fuel, as mentioned before. This also had the added bonus of having a longer burn time than the stock LES. The devs should fix the LES's spinning problem, but with their attention focused on KSP2 and the fact that no one really uses them anyway, it's unlikely to happen.

Great job! This inspired me to build my own stock airship, but I don't have the DLC, so I just used radial-mount engines and a lot of reaction wheels to make it work... Anyway, somehow I landed it on the VAB!

Probably an engineer, I enjoy making my craft as specialized as possible to fulfil its function. I don't really bother making my dv exact and always go for much more than I need, because accidents do happen... I always will have a strong streak of pilot though, I just can't resist landing on top of the various buildings. There was this one time with a stock airship and the island runway… Let's just say the antenna on the island airfield's tower has a hitbox.

I've honestly wished for a reaction wheel this size, really just because the 2.5 m ones look like the instrument unit located beneath the lunar lander in the saturn v, but it's too small to be used for that.

Wow, looking great! Do you know of any mods that would be similar to the effects of astrophage?

At some point, you could start replicating the things we see in his flashbacks. The biggest thing I could think of would be the helicopter landing on the aircraft carrier/when he rides in the military jet.

Yes, in the book it is confirmed that astrophage turns its energy into mass, (non-enriched astrophage vs. enriched- 19 nano grams) so the taumoeba is merely eating that extra mass.

I'm guessing the energy in the astrophage is stored in the taumoeba for later use or in case the taumoeba can't find any astrophage to munch on for a while or to help digest its next meal, as that may take a lot of energy, but who knows? does that answer your question?
