Note

These rocket parts ARE NOT stock balanced! They're using the real world mass ratios, thrusts, ISPs, dry weights, and so on.

Preamble by NecroBones

The "Sea Dragon" was a proposed rocket design, that was intended to be built using shipyards, and launched from the ocean. Designed with inexpensive operatings costs in mind, it would have used simple construction, but on a large scale. It was inteneded to be fueled at sea, and use a nuclear aircraft carrier as the power source to generate the hydrogen and oxygen needed. While the design was solid in many ways, it was also unusually ambitious, and perhaps required a bit of insanity to truly appreciate. :)

Installation Directions [^1]

Use CurseForge/OverWolf Website/App

I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN metadata for my mods. CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools. If you are having issues please let the CKAN people know and refer to the CKAN thread. My support of CKAN extends with checking the checkbox in SpaceDock. Beware, CKAN can really mess up; though it tries very, very, very hard not to.
