Decoupler Propulsion Rocketry

[Sharpy]

Following my accomplishments in Spring Based Rocketry, always seeking new means of propulsion, I have developed a Decoupler Propulsion System.

Unfortunately, due to very draggy nature of the decouplers, the performance is rather poor. Still...

Here's the .craft file. Would somebody with Hyperedit mind testing it on Tylo?

RIP headphone users (including myself)

But seriously that's pretty cool.

LMAOOoooooo!

That is totally insanely awesome!

(I thought my attempt to reach a Munar impact probe with only solid-fuels was mental!)

Too bad you can't rig out sails to ride the blast wave of the launch pad exploding

The only this that is missing is a Kerbal in a command chair, riding on a wave of .....insanity.

If you set the decouplers to action groups then I think you won't have to wait for the delay between stages, if firing them in quicker succession would help.

Not bad. Ages ago someone made one called "Plaid" which expolted physicsless parts to reach the Mun. It probably wouldn't work now, due to atmospheric heating.

Just hyperedit'd it to Minmus and performed a sloppy launch. It got on Kerbin escape trajectory an with orbit halfway to Duna.

Worth noting: it did so in 13 seconds. Here's the thread where he showed it off.
