Project Ares X

[Horus Lupercal]

to to test a reusable rocket i do it in stages

stage 1: 100m flight no cheats
stage 2 8000m flight with cheats
stage 3: suborbital flight using no cheats
stage 4: orbital flight with cheats
stage 5: first proper flight with out cheats

Bloody hell. Get paid by the hour do you?

Stage 2 to 4 are pointless.
What do you learn at 8000m with cheats on? That it'll reach 8000m with infinite fuel. And that's about it.
Stage 3. Sub orbital flight without cheats. Why? Why restrain it? It'll either make orbit, or it won't.
Stage 4. What do you learn with cheats on, that it'll make orbit? That you'll have enough fuel to land? How much fuel you need to stage with to land safely?
None of the above. Because you've got infinite fuel on.

Here is how you test a rocket. Any rocket.

Stage 1. Spawn, see if anything falls off.
If yes, back to VAB and re-design.
If no
Stage 2. cheats off, fly it to orbit, see how it works.
Does it work? Yes. Mission complete.
No, back to VAB and re-design.

Re-start at stage one and repeat until mission success.

I might aswell do this then thanks for advice

 

[USAA]

So anyways, getting back on topic,

I wanna make a group for mars missions and space station

Why though?

Well you can do what you like, it's your battery. But it's no wonder things take ages if you're going the NASA testing timetable route.

I didn't test fly Komodo to see if the staging worked before going for orbit. Engines on and up she went.

At most, I'll ground test the separation from my launch tower, but everytime a rocket of mine leaves the ground, it's going until the fuel runs dry. But everything is done 'live', otherwise it's pointless.

Why though?

Why not...? Not like he's paying for the fuel or has to sweet talk congress for permission.

All he wants to do is make a group project and interact with others

Yeah, I know. I didn't question the why. It's the how that I'm more curious about.

Well it's qks sharing obviously

 

[Horus Lupercal]

Well it's qks sharing obviously

What's the payload to orbit capability of a quicksave file share? Can you dock quicksaves?

Of course they're using quicksave sharing, I wasn't expecting them to use telepathy. I meant the mission itself.

Ah..

It's probably like a stage mission
First you do tests then build a Space station then you build Landers for Mars,
I think that is how they are doing it.

There we go, JSP has worked it all out. May as well not bother now, cos he's spoiled the entire film.

Forgetting the little things like launch vehicle design, space station module design, if they're going to do Earth or Mars rendezvous for the station assembly, if the landers are going to go with the station or be launched and landed directly from Earth.
And many, many, many other aspects of the project just glossed over.

They way I did my mars mission is
1. Orbiter
2. Impactor
3. Lander
4. Rover
5. uncrewed test in LEO
6. Crewed test in LEO
7. Crewed test in LMO
8. Landing on mars
9. Construction of space station.
I do it like that to know wether I should continue with my colony or not

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

In what version of SFS is supposed to be this project?

 

[JSP]

In what version of SFS is supposed to be this project?

1.5

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

1.5

Ok. I’m out then.

 

[JSP]

Ok. I’m out then.

1.35 squad

 

[Pink]

1.5

Ares never said that.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

1.35 squad

1.35 and Squad forever.

Ares never said that.

Well, true. But he posted a Blueprint in the 1.5 format.

The 1.5 Bp was confirmation of being in 1.5 and he's playing on mobile

 

[Ares]

I am playing mobile

 

[Horus Lupercal]

I am playing mobile

Well, that narrows it down to 1.1 to 1.5.

 

[Ares]

Well, that narrows it down to 1.1 to 1.5.

And 1.5

 

[Ares]

So anyways, getting back on topic,

Why though?

Because i love mars(its in my profile name) and for fun

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

1.35 and Squad forever.

For now I can't play it yet... *Cough* $chools *cough*

But yeah 1.35 is better!

Yeah, if we had too, I don't think we'd be here.

Im planning to make a crew dragon carried by a falcon 9 FT
