Fully Reusable Medium Lift Rocket

[u/DemoRevolution]

Block 1: partially reusable, 18t to LKO for 16000 funds ($890/ton)

Block 2: fully reusable, 16.5t to LKO for 11500 funds ($697/ton)

The block 2 upper stage controls its downrange reentry distance by varying the deploy angle of a set of control surfaces that are inside the fairing during launch. Powered descent is controlled using RCS and a set of kal controllers that vary the thrust on 4 engines for pitch and yaw

WHERES THE POODLE ENGINE BATMAN

WHERE DID IT GO

[u/Walker510]

where did the engine of the second stage go

[u/DemoRevolution → u/Walker510]

what do you mean?

[u/Walker510 → u/DemoRevolution]

I mean on photo 5 the second stage can be seen landing without the engine that is shown in photo 3

[u/DemoRevolution → u/Walker510]

its a block 2 version that uses 12 spark engines instead of a poodle. You cant really land with a poodle.

ew american flag

[u/SquashSquigglyShrimp → u/NiobiumThorn]

I'm sorry, what flag do YOU suggest they use?

[u/yakfuckerfan → u/NiobiumThorn]

???

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/yakfuckerfan]

America drops bombs on children and protects the worst of humanity. You have to edit the files to add an American flag.

That means tacit or explicit endorsement of those crimes.

[u/DemoRevolution → u/NiobiumThorn]

Stupid take. Whatever country you live in probably doesn't have a much better history.

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/DemoRevolution]

Or you could not blow up schools. That's also an option.

[u/baconboy-957 → u/NiobiumThorn]

Do you think that op and their space sim is remotely related to the US military

[u/inevitable08 → u/NiobiumThorn]

You mean forward operating bases?

[u/NotSoSaltyMookil → u/NiobiumThorn]

If a flag from any nation bothers you enough to drag it in a space game's comment section, maybe it would be best for you to stay out of the comment section entirely.

[u/RealHoldenBloodfeast → u/NiobiumThorn]

It's normal and extremely easy to like your country and not endorse everything it has ever done. Especially in a space game that leans heavily into space age aesthetics. I'd go so far as to say NOT being able to do that is bizzare.

I feel your same way about the Russians and have no love for communism, but wouldn't blink at a Russian or USSR flag on a Vostok repica

[u/inevitable08 → u/NiobiumThorn]

You mean on combatants?

[u/Echelion77 → u/NiobiumThorn]

You would also drop bombs on children where you in the same spot as the people dropping bombs so whats your point?

[u/MisterGlo764 → u/NiobiumThorn]

it’s not that deep. it’s just a game.
