Please post images and/or a youtube video, and the craft file if you want!

 

Mine is New Shepard

I WANT THE CRAFT FILE!

[jimmymcgoochie]

Might as well throw my Black Arrow replica in here:

Requires Making History, it’s almost life-sized and with almost identical performance to the real thing, but sadly no orange fairing. I also made the proposed Black Prince by sticking the Black Arrow on top of a Blue Streak replica for considerably increased payload capacity and/or range.

Strange to think that Blue Streak was extensively tested as the first stage of Europa and worked flawlessly, Black Arrow’s first stage worked in 3 out of 4 launches (one failure due to a dodgy gimbal) and the second stage worked once out of two attempts- an oxidiser leak was all that prevented the first all-up Black Arrow launch from making it to orbit. Moreover, Black Arrow’s first stage was deliberately designed to match the Europa’s second stage’s diameter to act as a backup, so it was actually made to be stuck on top of a Blue Streak to make what would have been a fairly powerful and reliable launch rocket. But like so many great British ideas, penny-pinching killed it before it could reach its full potential.

And yet the French-led group whose upper stages of Europa were so unreliable that they drove the UK to quit that project, later went on to create Ariane which has been a very successful series of rockets. That could so easily have been the Black Prince instead...

[Le Lynx]

It's not just the French who are at fault, they are also the german stage and the italian fairing involved. But, this isn't the place to discut of this. If you want, i will to create a new post on the esa errors of managements.

Paste the image URL into the forums. I use the website post image because I don’t have to make an account or anything but a lot of people use imgur also.
