Reddit Challenge

[Horus Lupercal]

I mean, they aren’t even gonna try and defend themselves or prove their points and side of the argument. It’s their community, they can do what they want, but to just delete quality well thought out content (something rare for that sub) is really just a shame.

Aidigigiigigigigi did try that, slightly. Missed what I was trying to say, of course. And reversed after saying that people seem to be enjoying it, thus it must be good.
Which is what the last post was answering to.

Yeah, I did see that. Maybe valid points are so rare that they are considered trolling. Idk, this whole thing just kinda ticks me off more than it should.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Should we move this thread? Because at this point seems more comedy than a proper challenge...

That’s fine by me.

Much better

 

[Altaïr]

Wow, it's yet in Comedy?! That was fast!

Everybody is free to enjoy the game as he wants, but at that point it's either unawareness or... dumbness? No offense I precise, I did myself a similar challenge and I was perfectly aware about what it would imply. And I didn't find this funny. At least running the numbers, designing the launcher and performing the VEEGA maneuver was fun, but then it's just sitting and watching the ion engines slowly burning hundreds of tons of fuel for hours.

That reminds me those 10 hours youtube video you occasionally find. Do some people really watch them?

 

[The epic chicken]

Yeah. Granted it was down to 1,000km, but Altair barely managed it with 5 tons. And needed nearly an entire day of ion burns




No.

In fact, yes. You should try this. Apparently you throw kiloton launch vehicles into low solar orbit all the time, so this should be easy for you.
Unless the dog ate the blueprint for your rocket again?

2 problems
that vehicle launches into an orbit it likes not one i pick which is usually high solar orbit
and i still need a second stage to descend
but i can do it just i dont want to

 

[4KidsOneCamera]

but i can do it just i dont want to

Idk, I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe, just maybe you aren’t being true to your words. Of course, you should be able to easily prove me wrong, but that would require you actually doing it.

i don't even use the sfs sub reddit anyways so is there a point

 

[The epic chicken]

and i'm working on other things for the forum

Ok, let's leave it there then.
But of course we won't believe you, that's the game.

It's the same as if I told you that I could reach more than 100 km/s with a launcher that weighs 20 tons on the launchpad, without refueling, without cheats/glitches or anything. Would you believe me?

Really? And how would I be supposed to process then?

I guess it depends on people's personal standards...

I just read a bit, this is crazy. Come on, did they really tell you they did it, and that they didn't know where you got 30000 m/s from?!
And they deleted your messages?! Hell, by those standards there are quite a few messages we should delete here...

Ok, I guess I'll do the challenge my own way. Let's have some real fun!

By the way...

yes

Come on, you really have no idea about how I would do it but yet you believe I can? Wouldn't it be safer not to believe it at that stage?

Ok, now wait for a few minutes...

Ok, here is my version of the reddit challenge!

I won't do tier 2 and 3 because I know what it would mean, but tier 1 is easily doable. Also, I'll do it with that launcher:

That's right, that launcher weighs exactly 20000 kilograms! Let's celebrate the 20000 members that way!

First step is to reach LEO. I'll also transfer some of the fuel from the second stage to the first stage during the flight:


Now I'm in Earth orbit with just 30% of the smallest fuel tank in the game. That's way too much to be honest!

Time to turn on the Stig mode...

Let's start an injection burn to Venus. I'll do it in 2 passes:


And now I'll let Isaac Newton drive the car!


I'll boost a little the last gravity assist to get an encounter with Jupiter:


Now we are on the road to the Sun! I just need a bit more power to lower the periapsis to 20000 km:


And here is the result:

With a 20000 kilograms rocket, I reached 20000 kilometers above the Sun, with 20% of fuel left, and the throttle slider set on 20%.

And the 20000 m/s mark has been pulverized!

THAT's how I have fun and how I celebrate the 20000th member!

See The epic chicken ? Now it's safe to believe me
The same goes for your rocket. If you have nothing to show, then we'll just assume it's safer not to believe it.

That didn't age well.

See chicken, this is how Altaïr got his reputation. Not by making empty claims, by getting shit done.

Time to turn on the Stig mode...

Some say that he knows what he's talking about. And really is rather good at this game, even when he's trolling.

All we know is, your challenges mean nothing to The Space Stig.

Now i know why my world got a little distorted, you've just turn on the Stig Mode

Now my crafts are falling from their orbits now

i give up
i flew the station straight into a planet

and well my launcher

Please prefer editing your first post instead of posting twice in a row. Now that you have the Team Titan award you have that possibility

Regarding the challenge... Well, too bad. But maybe you should try more than once. And use the quicksave too.
