Can't wait for the "not deleting parts you want to keep, but you want to add something inbetween them and the capsule" update. :D

I never knew you were supposed to get to space until I looked at the posts on the topic....

Just finished the Blaman 2 (creative, right?)
Currently at 2000km and counting, moving at 3500m/s.
When my final rocket ran out of fuel I was going at roughly 4000m/s, that was at around ~700km. My velocity is hardly going down now.
Might upload it later. At the moment it's incredibly unstable and wobbly at launch. We need support struts :/
Also it's 10 stages.

screenshot was taken a few minutes after this post.

You're not necessarily obliged to get to space, but it's a nice achievement should you do so and makes you feel good about yourself.

Okay the ship I built didn't work

skill4life · July 11, 2011, 07:30:06 PM

+5000 for the dr.strangelove reference.

Legodude77 · July 11, 2011, 07:39:08 PM

Haha got up to 25800 meters with one ship I made.

Please tell me what your rocket looks like!

Here

I could even get higher if only I remembered that the liquid rockets had to have a fuel tank above them.(see top section)

a really simple rocket to use is this:

parachute
command center
Decoupler
SAS
Solid rocket booster
decoupler
sas
sas (optional, play around with it)
3-way thing
fuel tank
fuel tank
liquid rocket

If that makes sense, it can be a good starting rocket.

I've just been letting it run in the background.
10000+ km @ ~3200m/s
Beat it friends.

indyjones · July 11, 2011, 08:19:37 PM

36,000 M is a good height, right?
