Quote of the Day

[Marmilo]

Have you ever landed on any Galilean moons? If so, have you landed on all of them?

I did all of them, not a return trip tho

 

[Pink]

I've landed on them, I'm sure.
I just can't remember when!

 

[General Kenobi]

I’ve landed on all of them at one point I did a Ganymede base and explored the others with a rover

 

[Astatium_209]

I've never landed on a single one.

What's your favorite probe in real life or SFS?

Daily question:

the engines, we wouldnt be going anywhere without them

What's your favorite probe in real life or SFS?

Hard to say, there are many I like. From those notably:
- Voyager 2, only probe that made a fly-by of Uranus and Neptune, and one of the 5 existing that are leaving the solar system.
- Cassini-Huygens, a probe that orbited around Saturn during many years, and managed to land a small lander on Titan.
- New Horizons, only probe that made a fly-by of Pluto, and another one leaving the solar system
- Rosetta-Philae, first probe to orbit a comet and land something on it.
- Hayabusa 2, that managed to visit an asteroid, and send back some samples of it to Earth.
- Curiosity and Perseverance, probably the most ambitious Mars missions to date.

My favorite probes gotta be the Parker Solar Probe. Sure the voyager and other probes are classics, but this probe basically touched the sun!

Engines ≠ Probes
Read carefully lmao

 

[Pink]

Lol.

New QOTD up!

How do you find SRBs to be, currently? Good, bad, something in between?

I'd say no. I could just remake it by some fuel tanks and a nose cone with a bp edited engine in it. The only thing I like about it is that it dont gimbal

Unless something changed, absolute garbage. 60 ISP? My water powered rocket has more

Funny you should mention that....
I said that one could make an Ecorocket replica using.... ballasted SRBs.
(Ballasted to make the TWR more realistic for ecorocket)

 

[The epic chicken]

Srbs are cool, but we should be able to add solid fuel tanks to extend their run time

Largest payload in IRIS? 7 tons. I got a hard time orbiting, whaddya expect?

 

[Marmilo]

question:
What's the biggest payload that you've launched in the IRIS pack? Drop a link!

Umm, I don't RMB
At it rn
Edit: Attempting 56t single bp noclip
Games dying tho
Edit 2: whole rocket crashed after i clicked a docking port, literally disappeared?!

Ah, I remember that one:
Kiloton Club

1000 tons to orbit, it took a few hours to design the launcher that would do this.

With a legit launcher (that fits into the building grid) I can't remember though.

If you don't have IRIS pack, what about payload out of Earth's SOI?

I'd say the biggest payload I launched out of the soi was about 700-800 tonnes

 

[Altaïr]

I just managed to reach the symbolic threshold of 100 tons in LEO. With a legit rocket, here is it:

Some fuel tanks are streched to fit the required size, but that's still some fair bp edit. The result is cleaner but I don't get any advantage from this. Nearly 1600 tons on the pad, that's a big baby

Here is the flight:


100 tons is one fourth of the ISS, not bad.

Something tells me I will need that capacity soon...

 

[Pink]

Nice, that's great! Can't wait to see what you do with that capacity.
