Huge kraken defying rockets

[Flying dutchman]

I've recenly been building 1000t plus launchers and i'd like to see the biggest rockets you have created!

This one was made a while ago (2015... the wild days of aerodynamics, what aerodynamics) and weighs in at a svelt 5025 tons, and is probably the heaviest launcher I've made.

It was made for a shortest time to Eve challenge

Made it there in 9 days 2 hours.

Suffice to say Jeb was pretty satisfied.

How do you know? Jeb could get back to Kerbin just using his skill to make the rocket somehow more efficient and powerful.

The bell series it does a kt to 1000 km, more to a lower orbit.
