Thanks Gunslinger that looks cool. Downloading now. I wish we can get a sim and simlite game like Orbiter but with prettier graphics. This looks fun.

I just spent the last 2 hours building some pretty crazy rockets with my 5 year old. He loves it as well. the explosions as much as the altitude records...so far we've only made 30,000 meters..

I've been unable to achieve "space" altitudes with just the solid rocket boosters. Finally got up there using a combo of srb first with then a liquid engine.
I must have spent an hour just building and launching failed stuff. It felt like that scene from the Right Stuff where every rocket keeps blowing up.

We had some pretty spectacular failures..including a 6 stage behemoth...They need to make a coupling for the 3-way coupling to hold the engine modules together.. I thought we had it made, but engines started vibrating with throttle up and smacked into each other...KABLOOOM.

well if you go straight up..you'll come straight down.. You have to start transitioning downrange to get the speed up to make orbit.
Plus you'll need more than 100km to make orbit.. I think alan shepard went to 117 miles and he was non-orbital. 100k is only 60+ miles...
I haven't made orbit yet...mostly big explosions or craters...my crew freak out and then perish..lol

Non orbital, too high an angle of climb.
But reached an altitude of 761091, and got them back safe if a little shaken. The chute opening a little brutal at 22.4g
Chute: Module:
Decoupler:
SAS: Fuel: Fuel: 3x Fin #2: Motor:
Decoupler:
Triple Link: 3x(Fuel: Fuel: Motor: - 1x Fin #2 on SRB: affixed to lower Fuel)
Total: 6 Fuel, 3 SRB & 3 LFR on Initial Stage - 2 Fuel, 1 LFR on Upper Stage

I can't for the life off me figure out how that little pronged looking coupler works. I all too often ignite a stage then hit the space bar to decouple it only to have it slam into the back end of my other stage and then it shoves it all over the sky.
