do kerbals know fire? they dont know about wheels in the beginning. so maybe they only know of fire in rocket engines too?

The launch pad may catch fire without rocket engines.
<Althego>
maybe every time they need fire, they set the launchpad one fire with rockets and rebuild it later
<darsie>
Hmm, no luck so far.
<darsie>
yep, worked.

wee...?
<Althego>
zy?
<JVFoxy>
wondering why one design got to orbit like crazy, and another, with the same parts but oriented differently, struggled quite a bit.
<JVFoxy>
well ok... nearly same parts.

First one is a pair of boosters on either side of a vac-engine core. Similar setup to the Titan III rocket but with LF boosters instead of SRB.
<JVFoxy>
second test was just as a single stage with the two engines below the vac-engine. Mind you.. angling the tanks and not haven enough parts count meant I couldn't do nose cones on the tops of the tanks
<prefixcactus>
JVFoxy: oriented differently... do you mean, like, pointed at the ground? :D
<Althego>
there is the joke about the ideal priest. he is in his 20s, and has 40 years of experience, he is active in his area, yet he can always be found in church. etc
<Mat2ch>
Like that one job advert from IBM, where they looked for someone with 5 years experience in a tool/software-thing that only existed for 2 years.
<Althego>
hehehe 4 day weekend
<umaxtu>
that sounds like an IBM thing. Do they still fire people for cashing their paychecks at liquor stores?
<Althego>
hehe even the voice
<Mat2ch>
If I had to work at IBM, I would cash my paycheck at liquor stores as well.
<Althego>
lol
<Mat2ch>
tbh paychecks? Don't you have bank accounts and bank transfers and stuff?!
<Althego>
must be soem american thing
<UmbralRaptop>
direct deposit, yo
<Mat2ch>
almost nobody gets payed in cash here anymore. Everyone needs a bank account (which makes it hard for some people to get their payment, because no bank wants them anymore. Ah, the fun stuff you have to deal with in life)
<Althego>
anyway the german thing was hilariously accurate
<Mat2ch>
OH YES
<Mat2ch>
It hurt a bit watching it
<JVFoxy>
News reporter: how many rockets you wanting to launch into space? Elon: Yes!
prefixcactus has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]
<Althego>
that is not even interesting
<Althego>
how many rockets do you want to blow up?
<Althego>
yes
<JVFoxy>
well.. basically saying 'all of them'
<JVFoxy>
monoplize it all!
<JVFoxy>
If we could put a giant engine on our planet, move it around instead... hmm
<Mat2ch>
To company 1: You send all the sats
<Mat2ch>
To company 2: And you all the cargo
<Mat2ch>
To company 3: And you all the astronauts
<JVFoxy>
oh wait.. they sorta did that in The Expanse.. well giant astroid station into Venus but anyways
<Mat2ch>
To campany 4: And you are in charge of blowing things up.
<Mat2ch>
*company
<JVFoxy>
no.. lets go with 'campony' instead.. makes it more fun
<JVFoxy>
... lol.. campany.. oh whatever
<JVFoxy>
people enjoy blowing things up too much in KSP, you'd think it spilled out into the real world a bit
<Althego>
that is waht i was talking about. 3/3 prototypes, all in pieces
<JVFoxy>
eh.. struggling with stupid headache so might get a few wires crossed >_<
<JVFoxy>
I don't know.. this whole throwing a rocket at Mars, hoping it land on its butt intact after a rather violent flip over. Is the full scale going to do it slower? Even considered the forces on the passengers inside?
<Althego>
it is full scale
<Althego>
i doubt it is worse than a roller coastr
<JVFoxy>
mind the bump...
<JVFoxy>
rather be thrown out in one of them Halo Drop pods to be honest
<Althego>
at the moment it doesnt look safe at all
<Althego>
and there are also the pressurization problems
* JVFoxy
sees leaning rocket, go home, your a little tipsy..
<Althego>
if the mun version has separate landing engines, why cant it land on its side?
<Althego>
would be lot safer
<Althego>
unless they want the landing engines to run on the same fuel
<JVFoxy>
belly flop..
<JVFoxy>
would need some way to stand it up again to launch maybe?
<Althego>
because supposedly the exhaust velocity is so high it sends lunar dust into robit
<Althego>
why? just launch on the landing engines
<JVFoxy>
starship mun edition? Weren't they going to stick those up higher on the body?
<JVFoxy>
I"m guessing landing that way would be difficult due to space, weights and balance issues
<JVFoxy>
landing vertically, everything ends up all in a line down towards the bottom
<JVFoxy>
if it were me though, I'd rather a separate ship do the landing instead.
<Althego>
that adds complexity
<Althego>
but yes, a tried and tested method
<Althego>
same for going to mars
<Mat2ch>
the main engines could have too much thrust for a slow landing on the Moon
<JVFoxy>
it was one fo the original ideas they wanted to go with for the Apollo era.
<Althego>
why exactly do you need to take the empty fuel tanks to mars?
<JVFoxy>
Thing is, you trade complexity for focused purpose
<Mat2ch>
and the belly flop will be much more violent with the rcs thrusters.
<Mat2ch>
Althego: to fill them up there.
<JVFoxy>
fuel farm on Mars?
<Mat2ch>
The first starships to Mars will be a fuel farm
<Mat2ch>
so you need tanks anyways. :D
<Althego>
i think zubrin had the idea with a mini starship inside the cargo bay of a starship
<Althego>
and only that would go to mars
<JVFoxy>
person: We need tanks on mars! gamer: so.. Battlezone?
<Althego>
world of tanks
<JVFoxy>
more like worlds of tanks.. c.c
<JVFoxy>
spinning habitat ring made of fuel tanks. Ya.. whatever happened to that ol' shuttle era idea?
