Miniature Rocket Challege

[Dr. Kerbal]

You know what. Why do rocket always have to big, massive, and grand? I mean why cant we just make them small. This sparked an idea for a challenge. How small can you make a rocket and it can actually go somewhere.  I know many people have donw this but I want to push it to the very limits. So this challenge for you is to make a rocket as small as you can make it. And see if it can make it to orbit.

I'm in! Let me finish what I'm doing (ok, must admit I'm off task ) and I'll do it!

In the past, I've done a <18t (and <30 parts) spaceship which can go to the Mun, land, gather science and return it to Kerbin.

Bradley Whistance did a 564 kg rocket. Not sure that it's possible to go lower than that

I want to compete some miniatures as well. I'm down to join this challenge.

This person on youtube has some good ones.

So basically, send a bottle rocket to orbit

[Kerminator K-100]

Would it just seem lazy if I went to the mun or should I try to go further? Also can you do multiple small rocket launches then dock them together in orbit to give the delta v for Duna? I will definitely participate in this though

Nice work! In the near future we will even build a real micro launcher in Augsburg, Germany: RFA One. But for now Micro Apollo looks great, too
