rldane.spaceA KSP Design Log

Time to play some #KerbalSpaceProgram.

Today's hare-brained idea: Make a space-faring learjet.

Not a spaceplane. A totally normal-looking learjet with jet engines ONLY that has mostly-recoverable appendages for boosting it up into orbit, and RCS/OMS (maybe a Terrier for the OMS, puff engines are mad inefficient).

But once it re-enters, it shouldn't be distinguishable from a totally ordinary learjet once the RCS/OMS pods have jettisoned and parachuted down to the KSC. ;)

One of the difficulty is that while the mk2 parts are more heat-resistant and spacious (like a learjet), they don't look like a learjet, so I don't think I can use them. I'll have to stick with very BBQ-prone mk1 parts. But I do have one trick up my sleeve that I'll allow some rule-bending for: a single non-functional rcs port at the very nose of the plane to shield the cockpit from excess heat during reentry.

1968年のボーイングの研究では、強化されたサターンS-ICの第一段が498インチ、6.64百万ポンドの推進剤を使用し、F-1エンジンを5基搭載、第二段S-IIはJ-2エンジンを5基搭載し、

ペイロードは100万ポンド以上のサイズですっぽい。

So I've never actually really completed a space station in #KSP. I did but I immediately abandoned the playthrough because things didn't line up, wouldn't line up because Sony is very anti mod and I played console. Today I finished my first space station. The KISS ( Kerbin International Space Station ) is crewed and ready to go. Meanwhile while waiting for orbital maneuvers and completion we chilled back on Kerbin.

Little known fun fact I made that flag for my KSP campaign. TSP is short for Taylor Space Program but it's also short hand for Table/Tea spoon. I added the ESSL because it seemed spacey and like it could be a space program and I could think up an acronym but it's actually a silly joke. A Tablespoon is an Eßlöffel in german E SS L. I made a cook pun!

@thatfrisiangirlish said the couple that mods together stays together. I want to give a little background tho. When I was very little my parents were a macintosh family and that led to us being console gamers until I met Tally, really.

I'd had a friend who's father built him a PC that was so far beyond anything I had ever played. In a time of defragging and RAM in the MB but still. It was something I had always wanted to do with a friend or partner but never got around to so we built one.

I got into modding largely because of my wifish. Learning to mod KSP and Skyrim and some of the games I play that ae doesn't and therefore can't help with. She's watched me deal with configs, load order, and error upon error until now I am a modder of my own rite. The fact that we can put our talents together to make mod lists is a little touching tbh. Here are some images from my playthrough of
#KSP. It's a great game tbh if you want challenge but no combat. It's like the dark souls of orbital mechanics and Oxygen not included is the dark sous of HVAC.
