I really loved Thursday launch it was a great achievement for spaceX and Elon said there could be a possible launch of another starship in a few months so yeah, really enjoyed it
You keep mentioning the stage sep, but I dont think that was actually the problem and I do belive that space x never send the "stage seperation command" to it, otherwise they would have cut the engines.
Hahaha yuppp, was almost tempted to throw the OTF in this as a true to life recreation but decided against it in the end :’) Still very cool watching it on thuraday!
To make a good starship it has to destroy the launchpad, the booster must loose about 9 engines and then it should tumble and explode long before it reaches orbit
I have my own starship inspired vehicle, but I think it’ll only be useful for interplanetary missions with an ISRU when those are added. So far, it can bring 100 tons to LKO and land safely!
Make is wobble with out any kind of internal struts then have it explode in mid flight before ever exiting the atmosphere. That is how to make an accurate recreation of the Starship.
i also clipped in a second nose cone and second set of wings so that they are also black on one side and shiny on the other, also i used a tube piece for the heat shield rather than an empty fuel tank for mass. i also used multiple small tanks rather than one big one to get the segmented rings and i made stock grid fins on the booster using those new weird frame pieces (are they supposed to be rover frames? i think they might be)
Those are all some really good ideas, with the tube though if you leave the vessel and return does it disappear? My first iteration of designs used tubes for the engine mount, and whenever I quicksave/loaded the structural part vanished D:
@@Carnasa for me the tube disappearing only happened on quickload if the end was attached to a decoupler that had decoupled. if some other part that was still there was present it stays for me
@@MinerBat oooh okay, that’s good to know and also explains why my tube was disappearing as mine was directly connected to the decoupler that separated starship form super heavy :p
Super great vid! Thanks for sharing the build steps! You are correct, the superheavy gridfins are not retractable. They decided that the drag loss was negligible compared to the weight of the mechanisms needed for retraction and stabilizing.
One thing that NEEDS to make a return in some fashion is physics timewarp. I mean... Sometimes I like not having RCS and want to allow my craft to rotate slowly, but skip it using the timewarp!
More starship. Can you make a Jupiter III out of starships. can you make an starship derived SLS with Falcon 9 boosters ? Can you make a ring station out of starships so that people would have gravity on the way to Mars then they break apart and land.
Hey man, I’ve been trying for months to find every song in between 0:00 - 2:55 in “KSP | Coming Home Redux | Hydrus Science Spam | Beyond Home #16” By Carnasa. Please list every song in between those time frames, I’ve been searching for a very long time!
@@benjaminrickdonaldson Just to be clear, the song in specific I’m searching for plays at 1:45 in the video“KSP | Coming Home Redux | Hydrus Science Spam | Beyond Home #16” By Carnasa. Thanks!
If you tweaked the proportions a bit it would be perfect. The ship and booster are a little too short, making the rocket look stubby. Also, if you want the grid fins to look accurate to the real thing, attach them with 6 way symmetry and remove the extra two. They should look like this from a top down view: >O
