Basement Hunger Games

@Mick hows work on that spaceship going, mate?

Accidentally sent it to orbit at which point I'd argue it's just a rocket and not a rocketplane.

Problem is that this game is hard. The orbital velocity in KSP is only slightly above 2000 m/s so if I do it higher up we're going to space, but if I do it in the lower atmosphere the drag is absolutely brutal so we won't reach those speeds without overheating and blowing up 🤷‍♂️

And then I got distracted and started making silly stuff instead

Might host a game

Do I need to get the popcorn? 👀

I’d suggest watching the m/s like a hawk and try and hit the orbit at around 2000

The entire point was to go faster though. I was thinking 3000+ but at that point we are definitely going to the moon. 🤔

I'm going to stop bothering with it. Planes are not nearly as much fun as rockets lol

(also we're getting off topic)
 
I'll use the same picture
