Meet Grasshopper MK 2 — a pioneering vertical takeoff and landing prototype designed to push the boundaries of reusable launch technology!
Grasshopper MK 2 is a crucial testbed for technologies that simply can’t be perfected in simulations alone. Precision landings, dynamic stability control, and throttle modulation must all be validated in real flight conditions, making this vehicle indispensable for pushing reusability forward. Every flight provides valuable data on aerodynamic behavior, engine performance during descent, and the structural stresses of vertical recovery. As launch systems evolve on Droo, Grasshopper MK 2 stands at the core of ensuring that tomorrow’s rockets can fly again — reliably, safely, and economically!
I know I ready made The Griffin Block 1s (Although technically they only were previews) But I wanted to redo them. This time I started at the beginning with the grasshopper! Next, I'll release a Cricket prototype (Basically a fuel tank with landing legs) and maybe a vizzy with that aswell. Finally I'll release the Griffin Block 1s. I'm opting to drop those in about 2 weeks, although I'm going through some phone issues and I'll have to get a new one which might delay stuff a bit.
That Said, Hope You enjoy, please Share your thoughts and Upvote! Have a good one!

@ColumbiaHavenXAerospace I tought about that too, essentially its just a fuel tank with an engine though. (it would just waste my time, maybe after dropping the fake falcon 9 ill make a fake falcon 1.)

i have a idea you do falcon 1 just like spacex u have the 3 failures

@ColumbiaHavenXAerospace It's obviously a rip off, I tried .aming it as similar to the spacex mk2 as I could, which is really hard since there's very limited data.

@HermesAerospace yes do it jono needs more falcon 1 bc the last one was 7 years ago @HermesAerospace
