  1. Atmos is thin, but grav is lower as well, so just keep your trajectory shallow and you can airbreak for a much longer period before coming down to surface.
  2. Haha, no I did two burns, I can post the bit with my initial PE being above 70km. I had retro'd out of my first orbit not really thinking about wanting to land near KSC, and then realized my blunder and climbed back up to orbit to get over to the KSC and then start final descent. Part of why I cut it is I felt stupid for going down and then up again...
  3. Does not change what I was saying though I doubt he did, but he could have landed on liquid, exited game came back in and it would appear he had a completely untouched fuel tank, regardless of if it were empty or not. He clearly showed pictures of descent though.
  4. He didn't use liquid. Notice his tank is full, unless he is trying to be slick and saved and then exited the game to get the full tank bug. He used the two solid boosters in the prev pic to lower himself.
  5. It does indeed reach an orbit of much higher than the required, I was just tired and trying to shorten the video, so I did not really think about the fact I might have cut out parts you wanted to see for factual info, and it does come to a complete stop as well, at the end of the video it is barely going 40 m/s so I think you can find that easy enough to believe. Either way I will record a new video in a day or two of it going and landing on Mun and then coming back just for ****s and giggles.
  6. Excited for eve, as I think it will provide an additional challenge to the game we have not had yet.
  7. Pretty normal, certainly nothing using fuel bug as it is full throttle the whole time. http://youtu.be/lm39I6TiefE
  8. Centrifugal force I think will be key here, will have highest avoidance of damaging the craft. Be hard to aim and time release though...
  9. Very excited for this update to release!
  10. I do not think this test proves much for any ship in terms of interplanetary travel. It ignores possible factors, such as the Sun's gravity, possibility of larger planets with higher gravity than Kerbin, not to mention planet surfaces and atmosphere... You assume alot saying Kerbin will still have the toughest gravity and thickest atmos. However I think if you can do the following with stock KSP... regards from me. Travel from Kerbin land on Mun. Leave Mun travel to within 10,000,000 of the Sun. Travel back, land on Kerbin, take off without restarting or refueling, land on Minmus, and then travel back and land on Kerbin. Think you should be good for most of the planets then... Except maybe the one planet that is so close to the Sun it is barely visible
