@NebulaX Relay was launched in block1b crewed variant. 1B crewed had a cargo bay I could use for Relay.
@NebulaX btw both crewed versions also have a cargo bay, but cargo variants are for that purpose.
@NebulaX Block 1 is a smaller and cheaper version of block 1B. Both blocks have a crew variant and a cargo variant.
@NebulaX No. This pic explains it
@NebulaX I have block 1 and block 1B done
@NebulaX You haven’t seen my SLS have you?
@NebulaX Eh. Luna is slightly harder because of inclination, but it isn’t as hard in general. The looser gravity makes it easier
@NebulaX By the way, I successfully docked Relay and returned the crew that went with relay to droo.
@NebulaX Well it’s NASA’s shuttle replacement. They can’t just keep paying spacex for everything and let the Russians bring them to the ISS.
@NebulaX yeah it’s cool. I did not expect them to do a orbital test so early.
@NebulaX did you hear? SpaceX might do the first orbital starship flight in July!
@NebulaX dang I almost got there but the side interstage messed up XD. I fixed the problem and used the side port to dock with the cargo doors.
@NebulaX Poseidon
@NebulaX Congrats. Your “Relay” module will be the first module to be transported using my SLS block 1B
@NebulaX Callisto
@NebulaX sure. Maybe that will make a better outcome.
@NebulaX I put project stellar aside for now to think of a lander. By the way, the joke was is that VTOL stands for “Vertical takeoff and Landing”
@NebulaX lol we were making a VTOL anyaways. It takeoffs and lands vertically 🤣🤣🤣
@NebulaX We don’t need to make an SSTO lander. It is real expensive and tough to make unless you heavily tinker it.
@NebulaX No. VTOLS are a PAIN to make.
@NebulaX No. Space planes are kinda frustrating anyways. It would make a awful lunar lander too.
@NebulaX I am not focusing on space planes right now.
@NebulaX ?
@NebulaX I think with should go with stock landing legs instead.
@NebulaX What’s the problem with the legs?
@NebulaX I may just forget it for now and focus on our lunar colonization.
@NebulaX I tried nuclear thermal, but it just is inefficient or takes 2 hours to do a Luna burn.
@NebulaX By the way, are you still having trouble with those landing legs?
@NebulaX My interstellar vehicle works decent everywhere, but the engines won’t work efficiently without having to do 30 minute long burns
@NebulaX Lol.
@NebulaX I swear to freaking god if I get to 1k points by the end of July
@NebulaX maybe beachside I tend to upload stuff more often. Also I got a 100 point bonus since I already had a bunch of points in my SimplePlanes account.
@NebulaX Yeah.
@NebulaX Yeah I’d do the same.
@NebulaX Nice. once you give me the design, do I have permission to start production?
@NebulaX metal trash can
@NebulaX lol that would look a little funny. Let’s do that for a future project XD
@NebulaX as long as it doesn’t look like complete garbage and it can land on Luna, it’s fine.
@NebulaX Aight tell me when it is finished. Let’s try to make it look as sweet as possible.
@NebulaX K so the decent module will be named nix, right?
@NebulaX star worz
@NebulaX Hm. Pretty good website.
@NebulaX Jupiter has cool moon names
@NebulaX Ok just curious what does "Nix" mean?
@NebulaX This has well over 500 comments so maybe we should make a new forum so we don't crash the servers or something.
@NebulaX Copy that
@NebulaX Agreed. You get the hang of it by a week though
@NebulaX Yeah me too.
quick maths
Yeah you need to go over Mach-3 (1000 m/s) to get to reentry effects.
