Here is the video of my succesful attemt! (might still be processing as I post this)

Haha nice one on the 2nd landing. I'm uploading now. I did 5km, land, 5km, land... Now who's first to 10? Also.. it's possible to land on water

I'm doing a video when I complete my challenge. I need to get up 5km on both trips.. Right now I'm only getting 3km on first launch and 5km on the second.. So I need to polish the rocket-design..

You guys are awesome. I just did a run without any parachutes (took it down by hand) and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much.. I didn't know that about parachutes!

You might be right.. I will see if I can land a ship without using parachutes at all...

Hey Kerbanauts! I was looking for something fun to build, so I came up with the idea to build a rocket that would be able to: 1) Take off and reach 5km 2) Land safely 3) Take off again and reach 5km 4) Land safely a final time This only using standard components. I'm so close to having a working prototype, but I run into a weird problem. Have a look at this video I uploaded, showing what I do: Okay, so the first launch goes well, parachute down with help of liquid thrusters and land nice and safe. But watch what happens when I take off the second time. The first few seconds look like they're going great, but then all of the sudden the ship starts freaking out. Please note that I don't touch WASD at any point during the video. I've tried 5 different working configurations and ways of doing this. It happens every time. Am I not seeing something or could this be some bug? Thanks in advance!
