An Exercise in Absurdity, Mk8.

[Whackjob]

A rocket so complex, so absurd, that upon completion, my machine refuses to load it any more. (Here's hoping .23 helps, eh?)

WARNING: I take no responsibility whatsoever for the universe and/or computer you lose due to its use.

EDIT: If you DO try it, and manage to fly it, and manage to land the lander on the Mun, you'll probably want the hotkeys:

2: Solar panel toggle

4: Toggle lander engines (17 mainsails)

5: SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.

7: Toggle kethane scanners

8: Toggle kethane drills

9: Toggle kethane refineries

EDIT2: Yes, some of the pictures show it as incomplete. It is done, I just didn't take more than one when it was done. Was expecting to do the next set of pictures with it on the launchpad.

Yo Whack-o, I heard you like Keth-

I'll send you a bill to replace the floor after serious jaw damages.

You made my day

[Whackjob]

For the curious: This holds a load of 636,000 units of Kethane. Also, 103,680 units of liquid fuel, 126,720 units of oxidizer, and 68034 units of electricity.

Which of course is just the lander and not counting the booster ring.

[Mustanger]

I doubt anything short of a supercomputer could load that.

[Danish_Savage]

Aye Mate. Tried running it on the TARDIS. Crashed.

[Mr Tegu]

Oh yes, this is awesome. Gonna try and launch it, hope my cpu doesn't melt..

[Galacticruler]

Wack, you melted my screen. and my CPU turned into plasma.

[The Jedi Master]

The Tsar Bomba comes to mind...

[DisarmingBaton5]

And what galaxy do you expect to have that much kethane?

[Spartwo]

And the award for most accurate name goes to...

[dudester28]

Based on the calculated kethane capacity, this ship is capable of completely emptying any kethane reserve in a single run.

[Madrias]

I tried to load it, and ashamedly, my rig failed to provide KSP enough power to run it. Infinite loading screen. Oh well, maybe next time I can see if my rig's powerful enough to send one of Whackjob's creations skybound. It's a few years old and the hardware's a few generations out of date or so, but it's still blistering fast.

[xxjetterxx]

Whackjob strikes again

[Naten]

The Tsar Bomba comes to mind...

If that's the Tsar Bomba, then anyone who messes with Russia is dead meat. Or, the Kerbals.

copy that, boost ring separated. ballistic arc trajectory achieved.

...

re-entry secure

winglets are stable

...

put on your sunglasses, lads.

kaBOOOOOOOOAFDUHGURHGIJAHFAASTGrqmrrrrrrrr....

With 0.23's optimization, this should run a lot better.

I'm still amazed that I can finally download one of Whackjob's computer melters.

[Whackjob]

I'm gonna redo the Arkingthaad Tower Lander. The original. That one anyone can run, even if at one frame per twenty seconds.
