those huge things in orbit

[aryeon]

hi guys.

love those pictures of space stations on here but eh

how do you get them up there? ???

More or less the same way you put a rocket into orbit. If you can\'t get a rocket into orbit, try that first, but there are plenty of videos on YouTube explaining how to do it.

From that point, you can just download some mods which have parts that look like space stations and satellites (the one I used to make the satellite in the image below is called Probodobodyne), make yourself a satellite, stick it on a rocket and burn for the stars.

And remember, as the rocket gets bigger, the fuel requirement increases exponentially because you need fuel to lift the fuel to lift stuff.

thanks.

so if i understand it those stations are rocket lifted in one pice to orbit

man have i a lot to learn befor i can do that.... =P

It\'s not that bad. If you can get a rocket into orbit, it\'s only a little bit more difficult to get a satellite into orbit. Unless it\'s a huge one, because then say hello to lots of weight and air resistance...

I\'d post the .craft for my satellite from my post up there ^, but it\'s not particularly good. I got it into orbit easily enough, but my engines weren\'t strong enough at certain points, leaving me falling back to Kerbin, so I had to ditch some stages and make some emergency burns to get out there.

i`m decided to start on the old way.

trying to get a mercury capsule in to orbit and work from there

;D
