Hi Bob kerbal here, wanted to measure stuff, but at the same time crash? then this lab is it. You launch in space, untill your first stage is empty, wat 1 sec and drop them, start the main engine and go fly, once in space, i hope your main engine is not feuled anymore, drop it and start the engines of the space lab, u should now fly, hopefully. if you land, dont worry, your pod should be okay. TIP: Start ASAS, SAS and RCS FIRST or you fly unstable!!!
