Want to get more delta-v out of your boosters? Try asparagus staging! It's what rockets crave.

You have the best KSP videos that I have found, this type of staging changed everything for me.

Thank you so much. You are the only one who gave a clear understanding of this.

Not sure why the RCS isn't working, but if you want to make sure the boosters don't collide with the main body, either use more powerful decouplers or use sepratrons on the decoupling stages to pull the boosters away from the main body during stage separation.

Before this video I had only managed to get a rocket into orbit around Kerbin, but only just. With the rocket I created using this bit of info I've gone from just barely orbiting Kerbin to orbiting the Mun! ... And now I have a command pod that orbits all the way out as far as 367.25 billion meters from the Sun. So much progress from one video. ^^

thank you I was having trouble getting in orbit now Im in an orbit around Eeloo with half a tank of fuel and all I did was stage the rocket that couldn't get in orbit

Great series. Only guides that go into the perfect amount of depth. Thanks!

Next video will be up today, it was up for about 30 seconds, then I realized that I rendered it wrong. Thanks for subscribing! :)

Thanks! This helped me a lot!

Ok I know how to do the RCS now only thing is that it doesn't work automatically, my ship also don't want to go into an orbit and keeps going up forever, really appreciate you helping! Wiba

Great explanation. I usually set up my decoupler sequencing prior to adding the tanks/engines. It just makes it easier for me to see which is which. I don't believe this has any adverse effects on the outcome.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS!!!!!!!!!

Thanks dude!

Cool I use kinda a hybrid version of this. I don't connect the final booster to the main fuel tank. I'm able to fire the main engine and the final side booster stages longer this way I've found.

thanks man

I should really post a video on advanced asparagus phasing, (where the fuel tanks are ejected but not the engines)
