    use a kraken drive instead. because of the way docking ports work you can use the magnetic attraction forces between 2 docking ports as a way to move without propulsion. just put a docking port on a piston facing another docking port and fine tune the piston length so that the docking magnets are engaged and boom you have a kraken drive. now all you need to do is mount it on a craft.

      Ability to tune strength of components that can be activated (pistons, engines, etc.) And the bug allows you to set the strength of components way higher than 100% or way lower than 0% up to millions% or -millions%. Setting thrusters to negative power makes them generate fuel. While super powered thrusters can send you from kerbin to sol in seconds.

    fun fact: in the 50's 0r 60's i think, Freeman Dyson and some other physicists developed a explosion propulsion system for rockets, it was intended to use nukes but they used other explosives to prof of concept the theory, BTW it was never intended to use nukes on earth to move a rocket but on asteroids.

    11:47 To be entirely fair, engines are less efficient in thicker atmosphere, AND the thicker atmosphere causes more drag, AND there's more gravity closer to kerbin. That's why getting out of kerbin's atmosphere takes about as much delta-V as maneuvering to another planet then orbiting

    Just a cool bit of history for you about you're firework propuslion system..... there was actually a concept design in the US many many many years ago that proposed basically that..... only instead of fireworks it was suggested that Nukes could be used...... the idea was abandoned, I suspect in part due to the concern of irradiating the planet, and also concern over the possible Russian reaction during the cold war if a US rocket overflew it dropping mini nukes in the atmosphere..... but there was a concept for it. If you want to know more, it was called Project Orion, there's plenty of info online about it these days.
