FYI some of the engine variants have vastly different sizes, the “poodle” engine has a *long* mode that could help

12:44 There is a setting in the game called “extended burn indicator” that tells you exactly when to burn the engines to get the most precise burn. Not turned on by default for some reason and not as precise as guidance mods like mechjeb but very useful for transfer burns and long burns in stock ksp.
And, if you’re fine with not playing full stock, there is a mod called “bettertimewarp” that allows you to time warp at whatever speed you want. Physics warp to 16x speed for low thrust burns with ion engines or nuclear engines can cut down the time needed for burns by a lot.

I'd like to see a rocket where every stage is separated by a fearing, like a russian nesting doll

“The engine was pretty weak”
*Is the most powerful engine in the game*

Mortimer Kerman: Alright kerbals, we need to prepare the budget for next year. What do we got?
Wernher Von Kerman: I've been thinking of a new engine design we could-
Gus Kerman: We don't need another engine design! My machinists can barely keep track of the dozens of engine types we have to make.
Bill Kerman: I agree with Gus. We should streamline the manufacturing process to produce only engines used in our next rocket design. Jeb, your the pilot, so what engines do you think we need?
Jebediah Kerman: ...

imagine if nasa tried to launch a rocket like that.

You should try and make a rocket that stops and drops a lander at every planet in one trip

I just love these KSP and challenge videos where you try to force real engineering onto video game physics

this somehow worked out better than I thought it would. Also looking at the whole thing, if you hadn't thrown away those awful xenon engines you might've been able to land back on kerbin

Engine plates are the soltion to the problem of unequal heights! they have stadard sizes instead of conforming to the length of the engine. It also allows you attach more engines to the bottom of a fuel tank. Literally the best part in the game

From the perspective of Laythe's inhabitants, you pulled up into orbit, launched four missiles at them, then left.

I really recommend the Planetshine mod, a lot of people use it and it allows you to easily change the brightness of the dark side of planets

The poodle engine has a second variation with a single larger nosecone
All you have to do is change the color for some reason

if you're worried about SRBs hitting your craft, use sepratrons, its the entire purpose of the sepratron

Yoooo i love ksp!
Youre definitely my favourite youtuber. Keep it up!!

Always a good day when Reid uploads :)

2:54 i know this video is 2 yrs old but you could've changed the poodle to be single bell so it's longer

10:48 the entire problem was that it WASN’T weak.

When I play this I always use more than 8 types of engines
