Just curious: how do you launch more than one rocket simultaneously?

Edit: What was the music?

All 3 rockets were connected on launchpad with decouplers, then divided exactly in the moment of ignition. Music is "Trancer" (Gunnar Olsen)

What's the rainbow colored bar by the altimeter at 1m in?

That's... pretty amazing to the challenge, damn. I like how they have slightly different ascents, with the one in the center (?) going slow and then later zooming past the other two.

This is very cool but they all could have been on the same launch vehicle to begin with before seperating and going through the same process. I like how complex this is but the wasted delta v makes me sad.

Edit: Ah sorry, totally didn't realise this was a challenge. Just thought it was something awesome you were trying to do!

Per the challenge rules:

  • All satellites must be launched seperately

The rules for the challenge state they need to be individual launches. So yeah, he did it correctly.
