I know it's just a webcomic but the KSP player in me hates how the engine bell sticks down past the landing legs
45 0 ReplyIt's an engine skirt. It lets the lander move around on the surface at low thrust. Think hovercraft.
20 0 ReplyHey, landing on the bell is better than those flimsy landing legs. Especially if you are tight on science and not unlocked the moving ones!

To be fair it's also blowing a sandcastle over on the moon. Where there's no atmosphere...
1 0 ReplyI think expanding exhaust gasses from the engine plume dissipating against the surface could do that if the castle was close enough. But then again, I'm not a physicist, just a KSP player
