My eagle 9

[The Minnesotan Space Program]

Leo crew launch vehicle.

To launch, you have to drive the tower arm to the left side of the pad, then load the eagle 9 into the game. Switch back to the tower arm, then drive/dock it onto the eagle 9s left side. Then the tower is complete. Next, undock the orange thingy from the top of the rocket, and it should fall to the side, and not break. Finally, undock the engine from the lower structure (you may have to switch to the rocket after you do this) throttle up, and you will have liftoff

Covering those engines will make it more beautiful.

I agree, but it would cause me to have to rebuild the whole thing, and I'm too lazy for that

Nice rocket and launchpad.
But shouldn't you name it "Eagle heavy"?

A TWR of 2.6 is a bit too much.
I was able to get to the Moon with drag on just by making the engines smaller and removing 40 tonnes of fuel tanks from the boosters.
I shrunk the launch escape system too, it was too fast and heavy before.

Hold up. You got my LEO Workhorse on the moon? Madlad

Dude if you actually engineered it rather than tried to build something that is as fast as possible you might find it is actually super easy to get that to any planet!

Yup, even after removing TONNES of fuel.
The trick is efficient TWR and flight path.

It's not that surprising indeed, due to how the solar system is scaled down, it's quite easy to make a "good" launcher.
It also depends on the payload. If it only consists in the capsule, you can send it very far for sure!

So what would be an efficient twr

Between 1.2 and 1.6

Between 1.2 and 1.6

Ok I'll try it

What's about Eagle fatty

That's not very nice

Thanks.
