Thanks for taking care of the fuel consumption for liquid engines in the Parts article. -- Trinexx ► 13:54, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Glad to help! I tend to be looking for facts and values, and if I can't find them, I'll calculate them and add them. :) --D0SBoots (talk) 05:00, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
Solid fuel parts
You just edited the description of the small solid fuel booster to indicate that its full/empty mass is 3.5/0.5. Isn't it still 1.8/0.36 in version 0.17? Also, how are you calculating specific impulse for the solid-fuel boosters? (BTW, the large booster has gotten a thrust upgrade.) -- Elembis (talk) 22:04, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
