Is it still possible to launch SRV into space from "Mt Neverest"?

[WeavingBird1917]

There's a huge mountain on Nervi A 3 that allows players to launch their SRV into space, as its peak extends further than the orbital cruise line. I've seen several on reddit comments saying this has been "nerfed", so is it not possible to launch SRVs into space from there anymore?

And does anyone know of anywhere else where you can launch SRVs into orbit or space?

Thanks for the help.

No mountains on planets anywhere should extend above the orbital cruise line any more, so you can't just drive into space while staying on the ground.

However, any reasonably small low-G planet you can drive your SRV into space by using your thruster to repeatedly jump and build up horizontal speed until you reach escape velocity. Here's a video of the first time it was done - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3lqEUbQY48

Thanks for the info, I would like to try that out.

There's a video somewhere of low-gravity twin moons, where someone jumped in their SRV from one to the other. Took a while to cross the gap, though...
