Hi there,

Sometimes I think in KSP: 'WTF' or 'Where are the physics??'

If you can, make pictures of these Situations

The craziest Situation win....

Well, now I\'ll make the Start

Unforunately I didn\'t make any screenshots of it, but today I tried to launch a very heavy rocket, with a lot of thrusters underneath.

The thrusters didn\'t lift the rocket, so I pressed space to let the liquid fuel engines take over (while the boosters were still firing). A second later, there was a BIG explosion and then the launch pad was just....empty. Totally no sign of any part at all.

The physics engine doesn\'t include ground friction.

It took me 15 tries to get the capsule to survive. I was aiming to go off the cliff and into the sea, but this is good enough

[Spoot Knight]

Sure it does, if there was no ground friction there\'d be nothing keeping you from slowing down. ;P

[blurrr 2]

The drag against the atmosphere is what slows you... I think.

The drag against the atmosphere is what slows you... I think.

Then how would we slow down our vertical movement on the moon while landing? (in this case you crash and you are sledding across a plateau of rock)

matecheck.

[NovaSilisko]

On both Kerbin and the Mun, the friction is unrealistically low, but still present.

[blurrr 2]

yes ground friction... :-[

I got another funny video taking advantage of low friction.

instructions:

bolt together 25 mini-SRBs with a command capsule on top

The parachute must be duct taped strutted on, or the g-forces rip it off upon deployment

launch

hit T

press space

wait

when speed is < 200 m/s, deploy chute

hit a wasd key a couple of times to flip over

hope you hit a good hill

[ping111]

Your move.

Not only is my rocket a Michael Jackson fan, this was taken at 10000x warp.

Before ever launching.

The days flew by so fast...

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

We all have too much time ;D

[sarkun]

fn + f1 is your friend for taking screenshots ;-)

Doesn\'t work for me >

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

I don\'t know how, but I only kill One XD

[Tosh]

I don\'t know how, but I only kill One XD

That\'s the first time I\'v seen Jeb scared)))

[Radion]

Jeb seems to be looking at his dead crew member in absolute horror.

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

yes i think: WTF
