With the onslaught of internet news and people preferring speed over accuracy, most editors simply do not have the time to exhaustively check every and all sources. Even previously reputable news sources need to do more in less time. The only solution is to reduce quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But due to the size of Kerbals, you could probably fit 12 of 'em in there regardless. Edited February 5, 2016 by Spaceception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worir4 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I see no struts on the design, surely it will explode on launch pad. Also with the budget cuts to NASA, i don't think they can revert to VAB any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orions can actually fit 7 humans (which was done for constellation), and Apollo could hold 6 if you squeezed them in and removed the cargo holds.

Kerbol Macrosystems Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 At least they had the good sense to copy the image to their own servers. A lot of people have stolen Cracked articles, and Cracked will just redirect the images to mess with the plagiarists. 1 hour ago, Frybert said: Welp, I think there went the rest of my afternoon.

OK, I've considered it, and I'll give you two shuttles, but they have to be mounted next to each other on the same side of the rocket.

Look on the part behind the capsule and you see that it looks far more like the upper stage of Apollo including the moon lander. And rocket is scaled up from KSP scale so the 3.75 meter parts is the same size as real world SLS Makes me wonder if the ship is an real KSP craft or just an photoshop. Now, this is kerbal. Single launch to Jool "surface" and back in 0.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experts helps, remember news about computers back before they got dedicated tech reporters and it was pure entertainment.

What is it? I see a heavily armored vehicle with treads. Is there some technicality around the definition of "tank" that disqualifies this vehicle?
