Worst. KSC ever!

No, no, no. This conversation is entirely too silly. You couldn't power a rocket with creepers.

Unless you used an orion type system, where you'd fire them out the back and detonate them, and rely on a push-plate design to absorb the impact into kinetic velocity.

But you'd need a whooole lotta creepers. And that brings out new and interesting engineering challenges. How do you load the creeper reserve bay? You couldn't have a guy do the loading, the creeper would detonate and you'd lose your whole reserve. Would a creeper trigger on a robotic autoloader? And how would you single out a single creeper to fire out the back hatch prior to pushplate detonation? How would you trigger the detonation? And lastly, and most importantly, how would you get the stamp of approval for it from the World Association of Prevention of Cruelty to Creepers?

*Sigh*

*clicks tongue*

No, no, that's not right. You build a gigantic, dark room, with robotic sorters inside. Whenever a creeper spawns, it is dropped out the back of the rocket, where it intersects a bolt of electricity from the ship. Thus both supercharging and detonating it. The rest of the mobs spawned are just jettisoned as a reaction-mass drive, like a low-tech Ion drive.

OOOH. You could stick a bunch of extra mobs in the engine, then detonate a creeper in the top of the bell. The force exerted on the tightly packed mobs would be equally exerted on the rocket.

Oh, dear. It's happening to me too.

Just felt the need to point out that creepers only spawn near players. There is no actual "player" in the Kerbish domain. We work by proxy. I doubt they'll turn up anywhere near Jebediah. They probably know by now that he's just a creeper-death sink and nothing productive happens.

But what if Jebediah IS a creeper?

Thats really quite simple. Invite them over to inspect the prototype and then fill the reserve while their inside after you pickpocket their stamp :P proceed to rebuild/refill after the association does some tests kerbal style.

But then you would be violating the Creeper Ban Treaty of Day 23.
