30 Second Altitude Challenge (New)


Recommended Posts

Since the old 30 seconds altitude challenge looked kind of dead, here is a new one! 

The challenge: Reach the highest altitude that you can in 30 seconds of game time.

Rules: You must use only stock parts (no DLC), and must not use any mods that affect your in game ability. Using the debug menu or other cheats is not allowed.

All versions of KSP are allowed. 

You must show a screenshot (or video) of the altitude at 30 seconds. Videos are awesome, since they let other people see the craft in action, but if you can't a screenshot will do.

 

Leaderboard:

As the OP said that entries could be in any version, I dug out the video of my fastest entry to an old challenge, from 2016, which made it to 70km in 35 seconds.

On the way to space it reached 48291m in 30 seconds.

I might take a fresh crack at this in a more recent version this afternoon.

In current version: 32895 meters.

On the ground just before takeoff. Note that I am using UT, as it is not possible to use MET with this craft. I am consistently taking off at Y122, D108, 05:15:30.

First stage. Despite its large size, this actually burns for 5 seconds.
