HOW TO FAIL at using Jets!

[Camaron]

So, I was experimenting with the idea of a Jet-based, fully returnable/reuseable SSTO Lifter, aiming for the 100-ton+ range, at around 20,000 when my mistakes caught up with me at mach 3.

The whole thing went into a hard spin, which caused all 32 jets to repeatedly cycle on, spark, and shut down, creating a beautiful disaster.

How long until KSP gets fireworks?

Can we see the original craft?

[Camaron]

Unfortunately, no. As an experimental ship, it went in the "Untitled Space Craft" slot, and was blown away by the very next experiment. Sorry. It was a pretty typical rocket shape with four eight-jet clusters attached to outer columns that held a fuel tank and several SAS modules.

Mother of god, how many intakes did you add to the lifter, if I can ask?

*whistles*

That's some kind of flameout show you've got there. It almosts inspires a challenge: most spectacular flamout.

Someone should make a mod that adds fireworks...
