2018 Kerbodyne Drag Race: SSTO to orbit and back

[Wanderfound]

A race for SSTO spaceplanes; from the KSC runway, into orbit and back to the runway again.

Rules:

1) You don't actually have to orbit Kerbin. Just get to 70km altitude, establish a 70x70 (or higher) orbit, then get back down again as quickly as possible.

2) All craft must be SSTO spaceplanes, taking off and landing horizontally from the runway. No staging, no boosters, no droptanks.

3) Must carry a pilot in a cabin; no command chairs, no drones, no capsules.

4) No SAS units apart from cabin torque; the idea is to build planes, not torque-guided missiles.

5) No parts or physics altering mods. I'll do a separate FAR leaderboard if there's sufficient demand, though.
