Telescopic Landing Legs & Raptors

[dreamy gazelle]

We got gridfins confirmed(seriously, thank you so much Dakota, Ghostii, Mike, and Shana for answering that question!), but what about telescopic landing legs like on Falcon 9? And what about Methalox engines based off Raptor and Raptor Vacuum?(Yes I did copy the last half of my question. Plus I did want to inquire about Raptor)

My reasoning: Telescopic landing legs, like on Falcon 9, are better suited for orbital class boosters since they seem to not produce any more drag. Plus, I just think they look cool. And an engine like the vector that has less mass than the vector, roughly the same or more TWR, and gimbal equal to the Raptor engine will be incredible useful for landing massive ships at colonies.

I agree they look very cool also i would like drone ships some how

[plain jolt]

I don't know about drone ships

Landing legs are cool though.

I uhh, didn't ask about droneships...

given how the Kerbolar system is 1/6 scale, we can just land our boosters back at KSC

I was responding to ShreddedCheese about droneships

[dreamy gazelle]

oops, my apologies

[plain jolt]

is the kerbolar system 1/6 scale? I thought planets were 1/10 scale?

[dreamy gazelle]

always has been 1/6th scale

[plain jolt]

Kerbin has a radius of 600 km. Earth has a radius of 6000 km (6378 km to be exact).

[dreamy gazelle]

huh, the more you know...

I just punched that into the calculator, and got 0.1

[plain jolt]

I was thinking that it may be planetary orbits that's 1/6 scale but Kerbin's semi major axis is 13.6 million km, earth's semi-major axis is 149.5 million km. that's 9% scale (basically 1/10th).

Okay

[frosty bison]

Is it Kerbol that's ⅙th scale, messing all it's numbers up?
