Putting My New Shuttle Into Orbit :D

[dissen91191]

As some of you might know if you saw my previous post i built a new shuttle called the Polaris and this is its first time reaching orbit

You put the external tank on backwards.

You think you could set your recorder so it doesn't record your cursor and use cinematic cuts instead of moving the camera around and using one shot during a night launch with a low frame rate?

It's hard to watch when it's like this -- no offense. And techno music is just painful.

One final FYI: the shuttle pitched into orbit "heads 'down'".

<br>Pretty snazzy shuttle replica  could do with a more orange tank though.

Nice vid.

Normally, I'd agree, but this seems to work fine. The music has distinct phases, and takes me on an auditory journey. I like music that does that. It sounds like a song Approaching Nirvana would make.

EDIT: Went into iTunes. It's "2nd Flight" by Approaching Nirvana in their album Lapse In Time. Kinda figured it was Approaching Nirvana, sounded like their music .

How dare you make that external fuel tank orbit the earth causing more space debris! =P nice shuttle man! its hard getting the center of gravity right without any help

The tank is upside down ! And the real shuttle would fly the gravity turn on its back so as to compensate for the extra weight of the ET.

Nice model, mate, but try to jettison external tank before orbital circulation burn, so it could burn and crush intro terrain. Kerbin is much smaller than earth, and leaving space junk is very dangerous for future flights (especially on ecliptical plane). =)

I know the tank is upside down i made it that way on purpose
