Seatbelts?!? We don't need no seatbelts! (Image heavy)


Recommended Posts

I hadn't seen one of these yet, and I've been drinking so ... here's the mission. And yes, it ends exactly as you may be expecting but perhaps not for the reasons you'd guess. There are 90 solid rocket boosters on there, for a whopping total of 504 parts. By the way, anyone who says .20 doesn't have better performance is highly unfortunate, this wouldn't even have been worth doing in .19

That's the last image before I deployed the chute only to discover it didn't feel like taking the rest of the craft with it. Note to fellow Kerbalnauts, deploy chute ABOVE 500m. Also, it appears Kerbals weigh a TON because this rocket works quite normal with just the satellite payload, but add the Kerbal rider and it's completely out of control. This may or may not be the principle cause of high speed impact with the ocean.

If you want to fly it, maybe improve it, here's the craft file
