  1. So I got this thing into orbit on my 2nd or 3rd try and had still loads of fuel, so I decided to head for the Mun, and got it there in one piece. Well, ok, I reloaded once after a failed landing but who's counting :P

    So here we are on the Mun:

    Fuel is running low but that will have to do for the trip home.

    Accelerating...

    And we have liftoff!

    Man they really didn't waste any money on excess fuel...

    I have a feeling we might be coming in too steep...

    Please hold it together

    The spaceplane doesn't explode but it spins out of control and I can't get it back.

    Sorry guys, it's been an honor flying with you.

    Then we hit the ground:

  2. I call this monstrosity The Towering Infernoâ„¢. Does it deliver huge payloads to orbit? No. Does it take large amounts of crew and equipment to another planets? No. Does it have any other purpose than being big? No. Did it crash my poor laptop dozens of times? Yes.

    This thing weighs 12501 tons, has 1491 parts and enough struts to build a replica of the Eiffel tower. It does take take off, believe it or not:

    Here goes the first stage:

    Last stage. Final velocity was 13430 m/s.

  3. Hi everyone, first time poster here, been playing the game for few months though.

    I was wondering the other day, what kind of crazy stock desings could I build. So I came up with this:

    Yes, a spacecraft using nothing but 21 nuclear engines, capable of landing in minmus (with no landing legs so gotta be a bit careful there) and returning in one piece. I don't follow the forums so I don't know if this has been done yet. It took a lot of tinkering with, but I was able to get it back with just enough fuel to do a successful suicide burn, since this has no parachute. Used countless amount of quick saves though... I didn't use mechjeb in the final test mission. Sorry for not having more screenshots, I didn't have posting it here in mind when I made it :P

    edit: How do I post the .craft file?
