I'm afraid that your engines seems stretched. That makes your entry invalid.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Yeah, don't use stretched engines, just stock ones.

Ok. 3.2ktons to orbit

Well, you need to show a pic of the rocket in orbit, I think.

1 kilton to orbit (around 1.4) maybe could have gotten it to luner orbit but I'm to lazy


The Spacecraft

Launch

Going up to orbit

And the payload

I like how you say you are too lazy, it's not like if everybody could launch 1+ kiloton to lunar orbit

Congratulations and welcome to the kiloton club!

Thanks!

Well the new kind of kiloton club that being those who do 1:1

 

[Mooncrasher]

Very impressive! What's the launch mass?

Whoah… won't your computer be laggy if u launch such a huge thing?

 

[Zeeray13]

9th gen i3, 16gb of RAM and a GTX 1060 and a nvme drive do the trick

 

[Zeeray13]

Very impressive! What's the launch mass?

30k tons roughly

 

[TtTOtW]

Zeeray the legend, the badass we all knew and still always argued with.

... Damn dude, that's sick!

Does anyone know where this guy found this?
Also is infinite build area allowed for this challenge?

No idea, he probably built it himself.
You can use infinite build area, yes. All our previous builds required some pad assembly anyway.

Or clipping.

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

Hmmm lag is real in Cruella

This whole flight almost took me 2 hours. Dang I really should update this whole system.

 

[AstronautAdam]

This is one blueprint or more? But good job

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

Booster and Shuttle are separate (to lessen the lag in build grid, also infinite build grid wasn't existing when I've build her)

 

[Danny Batten]

okeydokey, Gonna be 3kt as that's the rocket I'm currently working on, very much wip, and not optimised.

Payload: 3088.9t

Rocket: 8713.45t aka, a chonky boi
I will mention the engine layout is inspired by a rocket by Altaïr​

Honestly on the pad this thing is stupid hahaha, a Lovecraftian Christmas tree lets say

My poor ears

Side boosters only just get to orbit depending on if I actually turn correctly haha

Honestly looking at it while typing this, I cant help but think these boosters look like those nerf throwable whistle balls haha

Not a perfect orbit, but its there

After detaching the booster we can see the payload intact

3000t to orbit ​

 

[Sportgus]

Wow... that is a monstrosity Altaïr

 

[funyata]

I did it!
