- CydeWeys 7y agoI know you're joking, but, KSP models a planet that's different from Earth in a number of ways. On Kerbin there is zero atmospheric drag past 70km; it's not the edge of space, it's the demarcation line at which indefinite stable orbits are possible. That is very different from Earth.
- fernandopj 7y agoKSP is a whole different beast if you use the Real Solar System mod (which you should, once you learn the basics).
- CydeWeys 7y agoOne of the differences of that mod is that it changes the 70k value to what it actually is in the real world, though.
- thaumasiotes 7y ago> it changes the 70k value to what it actually is in the real world, though. This surprised me. What is the real-world altitude at which there is zero atmospheric drag? I thought the atmosphere was basically just continuous.
- marcosdumay 7y agoKerbin is designed as smaller than Earth and with a thinner atmosphere. The end result is that it's much easier to make a rocket there.
- vkou 7y agoKerbin has a soup-like lower atmosphere, and is much smaller, and much denser than the Earth.
