    I'm French, so your rocket reminds me of Tintin, a Belgian comic.
    They go to the moon with a similar rocket in shape. Although their rocket only has 3 "feet" and yours has 4.
    The episode when they go to the moon was written in the 1950's.

      actually in Tintin the rocket was much bigger, almost the size of the saturn 5( about 70 meter when the saturn 5 was 111 meters. was actually half the size but quite still massive). the writer of Tintin wrote this before humans land on the moon and no he wasn't DUMB.

    so, this is what we can tell to the kid we were : "Ok boy, your rocket is functionnal. But to go somewhere, you first need to place a refuelling station of billions of dollars in orbit first, and you have to keep it full for every trip you want (but don't expect to go further the moon, by the way), including to come back home. So take your crayon again and draw me that station. Don't forget the parachutes too, because your rocket will flip over and crash because of physics. And don't forget to wash your hands before we lunch, by the way."
    .... Quite depressing, isn't it?

      I never designed SSTOs as a young child (or an older one), because I was too busy modifying the Saturn V (fairly realistically, too, I might add.). I still like to come up with new ways to use the Saturn V, and illustrate a short flight with it and some interesting spacecraft.

Have you considered the absolute loneliness one would feel if stuck out there in space, in miles and miles of absolutely nothing, confined to a claustrophobic suit with but a few hours to live? Have you realized how terrifying space is? Can you imagine what it would be like to be 500,000 miles from the nearest visible object? Yeah, sure, draw a moon rocket. It'll be great.

    Tip:
    If you are building a rocket like this and have the breaking ground dlc, put the smallest grip pads to the bottoms of the nose cones (you can also make them round to fit the appearance). They will raise the impact tolerance and make the legs slide less so you can land on inclined surfaces as well

    • @Aereto
      @Aereto 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The round nose cones can be swapped for a adapter cone to put round pads. And for a true kiddie experience, make it 3 landing legs instead of 4 for a 70s authentic experience.

    Honestly, if you have all that infra structure sitting around it´s more immersive if you include using them into your videos. While i see the self contained argument for the vids, staged missions with stops for service, fuel and all that just has a more, "real" feeling to it.

    I dunno, even though I am from the US. I would call it a Tin Tin rocket. It is retro from the '50s before people really knew how it would actually look. So they just made it as stylistic as possible. Still, that look always makes me think Tin Tin for some reason.

      You'll get there remarkably fast. I found in my personal experience with KSP, once you do your first interplanetary mission (I'd recommend a probe to Eve, then either Gilly or Duna, Gilly if you find delta-V is a problem, but if you have trouble getting encounters and such go for Duna), but once your first interplanetary mission is done, try doing a crewed mission. If you can do a crewed mission there and back, then you tend to rapidly speed up where you can go. My first half or three quarters even of my KSP experience was never leaving Kerbin's system, and I've been to Duna, Ike, Dres, Gilly, Laythe, and Vall. Don't give up hope. Once you get going you'll be able to go a lot of places! And of course, fly safe! (Insert Scott Manley outro here)

    I was always obsessed with the Saturn V (and still am), so my vehicles always looked more like that, very large and multistage.
    I have been writing 200+ page humorous picture books for several years now, and there is always a part in the middle that typically includes at least 3 Saturn V launches, usually with some sort of special payload. Never the Apollo spacecraft, but vehicles based on it.
