Kerbal Space Program

[Logan Darklighter]

Incidentally, this is the Falcon Mk 8 full stack on the pad. Yup - it's the full "Von Braun" package! Incidentally, I've found there's a good reason for having fins on the spacecraft - heat radiators! The engines don't overheat so much when you put fins on! Well that - and I've found that the first (Von Braun style) stage is an absolute BEAST. It NEEDS as much stability as you can give it! That's why mine has both the fins and 4 SAS packages on it!



But once I got that bit ironed out, she flies straight and true. Just don't even THINK about pitching off the straight vertical until after you drop "the beast" from the spacecraft! But DAMN it's good for getting you that initial altitude!
