When I saw the mini-pod, it it weird that the first thing I thought of was McDonnel\'s MISS proposal?

Hi.

When I was a little kid, I remember thinking about what it would be like to be crammed into a little metal capsule for eight days. Actually turns out that the capsule was quite roomy, at least when compared to Gemini and Mercury.

You have forced my hand. > ...Mary sue, GO!

Precambrian life was crazy.

Try stomping that.

I prefer Interorbital Systems. ...Though, in all seriousness, Skylon looks to be a very promising concept. I\'ll have to pay more attention to it in the future.

How are you all able to launch craft vertically? Whenever I do that, resting on the engines, the craft explodes!

You may be thinking of the experimental Focke-Wulf VTOL project. Here\'s a picture for reference.

Lovin\' that Agena target vehicle!

Yeah, I\'m looking forward to that as well. In fact, when exactly is is supposed to come out?

Screenshots? I\'d love to see how you managed that.

Got booted off the PC, so probably not. Well, at least in my case. Anyhow, I think that by honing my skills, I should be able to break 670. Also, I found that sweet spot you were talking about. In spoilers to avoid ruining the fun of experimentation (goodness, that sounded weird ). ~17500 km.

Not content with simply being the resident representative of the peanut gallery, I gave it a whirl. I give you my Squirrel Mk.1, with a final speed of 921 m/s at an altitude of ~17.5 km. Also, I\'m not really feeling the loss of power. It may just be that I\'m a total newb at this. Edit: Tried again with seven engines instead of four. Got about 969 m/s out of it.

Also, do you have a general idea of how much it can lift? I\'m always keeping my eye out for super-heavy lifters.
