Spoot Knight Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 ...it\'s unrealistic to re-enter at higher than 3 or 5 G, even though the kerbals are pretty resistant since G Force consequences aren\'t added yet, but when they will, EVERYONE will be waiting 11 minutes.Source?The Space Shuttle would go through 3g during reentry, and pods would go as high as 7g.Tell me where it will be required that we have to reenter at 2g\'s or less.You don\'t know how reentry is going to be on Kerbin when the mechanic is added. Don\'t even try to say what\'s realistic or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandock Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 That is why I\'m trying to practice making reentries that induce fewer Gs (I\'ve gotten a few safe ones between 3G-5G about.). Another thing I\'m practicing is making safer returns from the Mun (to perform reentry) in the case high-Gs start killing kerbals as well as reentry burns. It is definitely worth it to be patient in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoot Knight Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Which isn\'t what I said. I\'ve made no assumptions and made no use of the word 'assume' or any variation in any part of the post.Again, tell me where any amount of g-force above two during reentry would be unrealistic.

I was simply saying that 2 Gs is a safe bet, whereas 7 is more uncertain. So aiming for 2 Gs seems to be a practical goal at this point in time.

RayneCloud Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah I think this has run it\'s course and will just end up going in circles. Locked.-DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
