Lisias Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong - there will be never another airport like this in Human History. Perhaps in Kerbal so? https://www.gettyimages.com.br/fotos/aeroporto-de-kai-tak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recolless rifle show is stupid as the backblast would easy hit the pilot. Putting an flamethrower on it is as shown also stupid as its an short range weapon, the downdraft don't help.

Lisias Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Genesis Sample Return. Or how NASA planned and executed an impressive 27 months mission collecting ions from space, just to lithobreak the thing because they inverted a sensor and the chutes didn't opened. Just like when we save a doomed mission just to reach Kerbin's atmosphere ans realize we got out of electricity to kick the chutes! https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9331-crashed-spacecraft-was-faster-cheaper-but-not-better/ And since we are here... https://ksp.lisias.net/screenshots//2019//07//25_Apollo-Falcon-Style//26#main-img Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ships can be steered from the machine room or an place near it, they control the speed anyway and the machines to move the rudder is nearby, you can obviously not see anything but this is an emergency is bridge is destroyed, say an fire or with collision with an bridge. I read the article, its for testing ejections seats, who is pretty smart, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKspEngineer Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM (edited) Am I the only one who thinks wet workshops are weird? Like we're going to launch a rocket stage with a docking port on it and once the fuel is depleted we're going to put experiments and live inside the fuel tank. And we're also going to just pile up the trash in the smaller tank. But this allows for a giant living space ( imagine shuttle ET stations) Edited Tuesday at 07:29 PM by TheKspEngineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One idea is to use an Starship designed for this as an moon base. You need modifications like insulation on the outside and probably strengthening of the hull. it would be smart to lower this down in an ditch and cover with regolit to protect from radiation and micro meteors. Front part is designed as living space but for it laid down flat. Here I see it as an good idea to have an access hatch to the methane tank. and in the common bulkhead. This ares would be bare steel but they could be used for all sort of purposes like storage. or an gym. Thought of making one an hangar but removing the rear bulkhead and trust structure would be an pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
