There has always been a desire to get beautiful pictures of rockets launching. This has be frequently been hindered by the amount of buzzards circling over the pad. So the public relations crew cooked up a massive metal grate (now we know what they did with all the sink strainers) to grab buzzards out of the air. It was a dismal failure. Looking at that dish however, may have given bob some ideas.

The Buzzard Collector mod contains three sizes of Bussard Collector. These, when deployed safely beyond the atmosphere, and not stressed by even so much a slight breeze, and provided with a massive supply of electricity, will catch the Kerbol Wind, and use magnets to turn it to tiny amounts of liquid fuel.

How is this even slightly balanced?

It’s literally on the last node of the tech tree.

It generates only liquid fuel.

It’s huge and heavy.

It generates fuel very, very slowly!

It requires lots of constant electricity.
