The Kerb-apult

So... I found that Kerbals get LAUNCHED when they encounter a jet blast.

Does it work with any rockets? I would love to try this on the Mun.

By the way, have you tried it with other engines? Or does it only work with those weak ones?

Yea, I tried it with the smallest of the LFE, and it launched a Kerbal. It actually damaged the Kerbal about 6-8 times before launching him... those suits are tough.

It works with the LFE\'s (at least the smallest of them), but the one that I used in the video seemed to be the most effective.

With small boosters it works too.

I was just testing this. Yah, I used the biggest engine at full strength, and jut tried dieling it down from there. The big one launched him.. REALLY high. The goal was a slowing down system for kerbal re-entry.
