Yes, that was pretty SF.
So, whats to stop them attaching an additional two (or more) to the existing rocket now that they have the basic synchronization worked out.
- hesdeadjim 9y agoMusk has said there is no reason they can't attach two more in the future.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoThat would be simply Kerbal.
- MBCook 9y agoHonestly it’s amazing how much better I understand this and other space stuff I’ve seen in the last year or two (like shows about Apollo, etc) since playing KSP. No better way to learn basic orbital dynamics out there.
- jotm 9y agoSpaceX should create their own space simulator or buy KSP, let players test and sort out various problems - crowdsourcing! :D
- TeMPOraL 9y agoThey don't need to buy anything. Related visuals (models and textures of KSP rockets) were already made and are maintained by the community, and all they need to do to crowdsource a test is to post it on Reddit. I guarantee you, hundreds of players will try to one-up one another on that one. (Hell, I might even be among them.)
- elihu 9y agoI guess they'd have to make the center rocket stronger to handle the added force of more rockets. Also, there may be diminishing returns when it comes to adding more boosters, and at some point it makes more sense to just redesign the rocket to be bigger (hence the BFR, which is the planned successor to Falcon Heavy).
- jacquesm 9y agoThe fairing diameter would not be much larger than it is right now and that is a limit all by itself. A bigger rocket would support a larger fairing.
