Orbiting Kerbin at 7 kilometers.

Who says orbits have to be in space?

My original plan was to launch a 2nd craft and dock, but the game doesn't allow to switch away from the craft while in the atmosphere, so I'll have to think of another way...

That's a nice find! I'll also abuse it :D

“You can ignore air resistance for this problem”

"We're going to stage out the landing gear to remove the last bits with drag."

"What about the wings?"

"Oh, we'll just let physics take care of those."

"Huh?"

[nexustheninja]

The aperture science radio music makes it for me, cus they're the type to abuse physics just to orbit the planet at 7km above sea level

The land speed record setters are gonna have fun with this one

[EvanBoldt]

Shedding 1.5km/s in a couple seconds while spinning sure would be fun for the crew.

Imagine living somewhere on Kerbin and then you see that thing zoom past your area very rapidly

[Zechques]

I loved the "click retrograde, cross fingers" approach to landing

[shoty_x]

2:50 I am sure they won't die, after all it's only 800Gs of deceleration

[trolley]

first time i have ever seen a spacecraft in orbit have to manoeuvre to avoid a mountain

[creeperbomb]

I like how the flames are still there but the engine is just like "nah you've got stable orbit"

You should also propel it with a kraken drive. Call it “the kraken’s wrath” or something too.

Regular Kerbal Youtube is fine, but trying to break KSP and defy the physics engine/code is also a vibe and I'm here for it.

[opacocastilla]

“Sir, you can’t just ignore air resistance like that”
“Yes I will, look”

[afluka]

When I first saw the wings burning off I thought it was a failed attempt. I was thoroughly impressed when I realised it was done by design.

[FranchDressing]

jammin to portal radio music while watching skuffed Kerbal techniques, I love this generation. <3

a decade later and there are still new and novel builds, this game is the gift that keeps on giving

[MalleusSemperVictor]

"Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you."

[MacElMasMancoDeTodos]

"Landing gear produces a lot of drag, so we will stage it out"

*Now dear passengers we'll proceed our building landing approach...*
