If you want to make this into a Falcon Heavy, go ahead. I won't do that for a while. No credit needed. (It's automatic, If you can slither around the auto-credit I'll need some credit.)
The SpaceX Falcon 9.
This is my tribute to an amazing flying machine. The first orbital class rocket capable of landing back at Earth to be re-used. This is what space travel needed. This is the technology that will take us to Mars. At half the cost.
How to fly it:
VTOL: Landing Legs
Trim: Grid Fins
Activation Groups:
1. Ist stage engine
2. 2nd stage engine/stage separate
3. Dragon and trunk separate
4. Dragon parachutes, and Dragon separate
5. Dragon Fairing separate
6. Solar Panel Fairing separate (Broken, I'll fix it in a future upload.)
7. Solar Panels deploy.
How to fly IMPORTANT
Trim all the way up. Activate group 1, take off and fly to desired height, the throttle all the way down and deactivate group 1. Throttle to full, and activate group 2, the deactivate group 2. Throttle down, and activate group 1, trim to neutral. Deploy the landing legs when you are close to the ground. Throttle accordingly (Duh!). If you landed, good job! It's hard! Switch to the other camera, deactivate group 1, and activate 2. Throttle down when you're high enough. deactivate 2, and activate 3. Activate 7, and 5, Then Enjoy the sight. Now activate group 4, when you are ready to go home.
It takes practice to fly this thing!
A while ago, I noticed that nobody had made a truly good Falcon 9, (No offence to those who made one!) so three months ago I set out to do just that... and got bored. Now, after getting over my procrastination, I'm happy with this, so please Enjoy.
Here's some screenshots:
Known errors:
I forgot to make the Dragon float.
Dragon Panel Fairings don't deploy.
This was a pain, because most of the details had to be built at a 45 degree angle.

give me a link for space mod
SPACE X
Yeyyyy
@GoldenFalcon
I generally don't upload creations with mods, so yep.
Can you also make sure that these rockets don’t use mods?
@GoldenFalcon
I've wanted to update this for a long time. I'll probably make a brand new Falcon 9 B5 with the Crew Dragon eventually.
Can you make this with the crew dragon?
@GoldenFalcon
That's a pretty good idea. I haven't had much motivation to play SP recently, but I will definitely keep that in mind.
Can you make a New Shepherd from Blue Origin
This is so cool
@Starmang10
It's kinda hidden, but he's got the X on his shoulder.
@Starmang10
Thanks, I drew it myself.
@Starmang10
Maybe. I'll do the 1 first and then maybe a heavy. I'm planning on making the whole launch facility for the 1.
@Starmang10
Falcon 1 sounds easy enough. I'll see what I can do.
People probably are going to do r/thathappend
First try
I landed the first stage!
@MrTyTheGreat jes
gives sandvich
@Axel01
Danke
... Is nice
@Minecrafteum
Okay
Did that, I used them as a speed brake early on by accident@MrTyTheGreat
@Minecrafteum
Yeah, it helps to deploy them at the last minute, they have a lot of drag.
@MrTytheGreat
The hardest part was getting the landing legs not to flip me over
