what kerbal rocket parts are actually made of

azidoazide azide, true story

Lol, and using FOOF for oxidiser?

[Atlas2342]

Theyre obviously made of science...

[KerbonautInTraining]

Concrete and rebar

Literally everything on Kerbin was scrapped for rocket parts except things necessary to run a space program.

[omelaw]

sandstone?

I'm pretty sure they're made up of my hopes and dreams- both them and the tanks went up in flames when I discovered KSP.

Explodium. Even launch clamps will violently explode in right conditions.

"They ended up having to use a much weaker light source..."

Uhm...wow.

I imagine they build them out of aluminium.  Unfortunately, they tend to forget to brush off the dust left from cutting the aluminium to shape, and thus they tend to be highly flammable.

Tannerite

And here I thought you guys had pulled all the references of pipes and scrap laying by the side of the road that is in the flavor text. I am disappointed.

Holy crap, that stuff is nasty. Seriously. Turning on the spectrometer detonated the stuff? Ouch.

In other words, it is so explosively unstable that just looking at it causes spontaneous combustion.

They're made of information.

Stop being so literal. Jeez.

[problemecium]

polygons ;P

Duct tape, cobwebs and rust. I had an old fj40 like that. The cobwebs gave a good enmeshing support structure to the rust and provided tensile strength, and the duct tape provided the overall framework for the cobwebs to anchor to and good reststance to shearing forces. The rust in turn gave the ducttape a solid mass to provide shape and the ability to withstand compressive loads. A rather complex composite material.

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails...

[Hysterrics]

Kerbals.

[Overland]

bubbletrumps, vinegar, rusty spoons and TAPS!

"There are no conceivable uses for it – well, other than blowing up Raman spectrometers, which is a small market" 

Yep, I think I've had a few rockets made out of that stuff.

Someone's been using Karbonite again!

And WD-40.
