WARNING MAY CONTAIN SOME MATHS! A tutorial on things I think are important in rocket building

[Orb8Ter]

A Tutorial showing what you need to know and how to go about building an efficient rocket in Kerbal Space program.

I show you some advanced information and also types of staging and also how to stage for a mission.

Warning this may contain maths, but you dont need to use it!

We go through:

Atmospheric drag,

Thrust to Weight ratio TWR

Delta V (change in velocity)

Advanced staging Asparagus staging etc..

How to stage a rocket for a mission

I never thought about adding a fairing to an aerodynamic shaped pod. I'm going to experiment with that.

I never thought about adding a fairing to an aerodynamic shaped pod.

My neither. I think it is counter intuitive, and probably is not realistic. That is to say: Squad needs to work a bit more on part drag.
