about asteroids

[synketa]

they seem to be unrealistically lightweight and have very little density

and they almost act like parachute while landing to kerbin..

[Hcube]

yeah, especially once you've mined the hell out of them, you can have a huge thing with a very low mass that will indeed slow you down in the atmosphere

and a couple of septratrons can blow up a class E. Happened to me. I had septatrons as part of decoupling an engine connected with docking port. Put up a staging with decoupling and firing of the septatrons. I didn't decouple and the astroid blew up in a small puff of smoke.

I'm going to attempt an asteroid capture, I guess this is good to know.

If the asteroids in KSP were made of something dense like rock, they would be too massive for us to move or too small to look asteroidy.

i tried to tow a class d asteroid and i regret everything i said in this thread

Now try moving an E class... They are less dense for a reason. Though maybe A-C classes should be a little heavier...
