10000t to orbit

[Danny Batten]

she aint pretty, she aint efficient, and she most certainly aint helping global warming, however i give to you, this teaing thing,

42kt of mass, and a frugal 56000t of thrust
this puppy, with just the right ascent
will most likely be updating this thing to be more efficient in the future

Mind you, considering the height of this thing, this bad boy is only 100m in to the atmosphere


Anyway, this was just fun to build, and oh if you were wondering, that payload (minus the extra 4000t of ballast fuel) is going to be part of a space station I'm in the midst of constructing,
so this heavy lift platform will be perfect to get the job done ​

OOP, forgot to add the file,
if any of you guys can run it, have fun!
Remember, it can litterally only just get to orbit with the full 10000t, so id recoment a 8-9kt payload if you want an easy ride,

jesus christ, now the kiloton club is useless, you took it to the extreme

Those are some mega-boosters!

It's in theory about the most efficient 1000t rockets, that's like saying a Tank makes a Miata useless

ok now there's a little bit of leeway, can get 35km orbits with 1.3% fuel left.

that booster is mega big. indeed.
and that guy made it 10x more than kiloton club (10kt)

to be fair, im going offline until 9 AM (kazakh time), yet you just woke me up at 12:54 AM

That's good and all, just dont announce it on a random thread. Do it on your profile.
Its just off topic derailment of a thread

Aha, it's time to fire my biggest beast again


That launcher has been designed to escape Jupiter's gravity. One of the biggest launchers ever made, right behind Horus Lupercal 's Komodo.
Engines have their heat parameter off though. That launcher was designed before heating was added to the game, that wasn't a problem at that time.

That thing is hard to fly, the TWR is around 3 (because it was designed for Jupiter's gravity), and the game won't let me turn off the engines until the first stage runs out of fuel:


Once the first stage is depleted, finishing the work is easy:


I don't know how many tons I sent to orbit to be honest, but it's likely that the goal has been reached.

I see i must continue to build bigger

Look at what you are doing to me!
