Delta II launch with NASA comentary

[brett6781]

Commentary is from the Delta II launch of the GLAST telescope from Vandenberg.

The ship parts are modified to be exact weight of the IRL ship (220,000Kg), with same fuel amounts (29,900Kg[each] for solids, 165,496Kg liquid fuel), and engine power amounts (main: 215002Kg, Solids: 64069.9Kg x 8). It gets into space extremely nicely and can even visit other planets in the Kerbal system.

very nice, im surprised it matches up so similarly, i would think it would end up much further into orbit, i guess it turns out kerbin is a nice earth analog

I had to do a ton of math to figure what a Kerbin Kilogram would actually weigh, hence the flawless launch.
