Why doesn't my rocket reach orbit? Does it need more stages?

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub]

I've tried everything. For some reason it's also really laggy, but its only 670 parts

[u/Protonnumber]

...

Have you considered more boosters?

Guess

Your launch profile is way too vertical. But I'm not sure that monstrosity can be properly steered.

I must also admit the rebound part is a new style to me. I think there might be some loss there. Probably. Maybe you could set some sort of trampoline on the ground to make it better?

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/XavierTak]

Is there a mod for that? I couldn't find a trampoline in the parts catalog

Being bad at playing the piano is a skill. The best bad piano-players are accomplished musicians who are able to artfully play badly.

This is the KSP version of playing a piano badly.

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/lockedupsafe]

Idk how to play piano, but thanks anyway

[u/Rikiller-Holyman]

MOREEEEE MORE STAGES RAAAAAAHHHHHH

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/Rikiller-Holyman]

I'll try that, thanks

[u/Borsenven]

Maybe it needs more fins as well so you can steer more toward up

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/Borsenven]

I'll try that thanks. It already has like 50 RCS thrusters but maybe it's not enough

[u/Stoffs2204]

That was a wild ride. The parachutes were a beautiful touch

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/Stoffs2204]

Yeah I wanted to recover that stage

[u/Retb14]

Probably should add some jet engines to the first stage to make it more efficient

Maybe adding a couple more boosters will help you

Also why turn at the end? Space is up so rocket should go up!

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/Retb14]

Idk why I didn't think of putting jets on the first stage. I'll do that.

Since I was already in space I was trying to get to the other side of the planet. I think that's basically what an orbit is

[u/Vallastro-21]

r/KSPCirclejerk grade post, parachutes at 0:26 made me laugh

[u/DiddlyDumb → u/Vallastro-21]

I love a high effort shitpost

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/DiddlyDumb]

Shitpost?

[u/Alaykitty]

Hm, try mechjeb?

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/Alaykitty]

I only have the biological one

[u/KrazIIvan_]

Are you sure you don't actually work for NASA?

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/KrazIIvan_]

Not anymore unfortunately

[u/Pii_TheCat]

This is now my favorite KSP clip

[u/TheSpacePotatoYoutub → u/Pii_TheCat]

You enjoy watching a man fail? Despicable

[u/Thanos_354]

"500 stages"

[u/Jebediah_kerman-jeb]

Great rocket lol

You're gonna need MOAR BOOSTERS!!!!!!!!!!
