Couldnt you use all the linear RCS ports to reduce your drag? i saw it on another challenge to see who could get the lowest aerobrake, you could probably go alot faster or does FAR clear that up?

Intercept nasafanboys ship after vaebn raids it and destroys the weapons = Profit

Yea we are not the type of species that you would want in a galactic society

The crew anyone? But GTA V looks absolutely amazing

wow i need to get with the times XD

What happened to just clicking quote once?

no i dont want to go to the hospital and thanks for all the constructive replys so far looking at it now with the testing of the merlin 1D tests that happened a little while back seems like a good idea...

Quotes aren't working right now... @ralathon: yea that seems like a better idea, getting rid of some variables would give me better results. @nibb: We have groups of 3, and looking at it now we are probably going to do what ralathon said

Equal amount of Mass

Well i was going to compare the altitude the model rocket would obtain using three different propellants, which i will have to measure and have a equal amount of each for every launch. Looking at it now i will use sugar and potassium nitrate, as the first propellant, thanks astropapi. As the second propellant i might use a black powder motor, and for the third im not completely sure about what i will use. And im still wondering what class of motor im going to use for the control.

For a science fair project i am trying to figure out the flight time and characteristics of model rockets with different propellants, i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on different propellants that might be a good idea and not very dangerous like cryogenic fuels. And any ideas on the materials and a good way to stay safe?

Personally i like my Win8 desktop, no touch screen interface for me, just a windows button replacement. everything else that Win7 does i feel like Win8 does better IMO

I heard the silicon based life is plausible somewhere, cant remember where i heard it though...

or you could use the liquid storage as a shield http://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ and magnetic shielding would use way too much power, just use your liquid and probably a thin layer of gold and lead to keep the radiation out, not sure how effective gold and lead are though...

wow that thing looks awesome

that should work okay :/

having 2 aerospikes seems like a little too much thrust, try the LVT-909 or whatever it is called, if that dosent work use the small gimballing rockets and aerospikes don't have gimbal so you would have to use RCS because at that altitude your control surfaces wont work that well anymore.

Maybe some pictures of a future release, .18 is really something to look foreward to...

I would be amazed if they made an icy planet.

YES that is the best one yet

I think it was the U.S. government spying on the forums and thinking the things we say are true, dang CISPA I almost survived it too

Wow the forum thing got me, i was like right there too... if i made it a month earlier lol
