Is an 85m/s takeoff speed acceptable?

A few photos I took testing out my new plane

I turned my SR-71 into a passenger plane. If I lower the takeoff speed from 120 to 80m/s, I'll be able to pass it off as an airliner.

Team:US Mission: Manned Suborbital Initial funds: 148625 Funds used: 1822 Funds remaining: 146803

I built an SR-71. It's max speed is around 1400 m/s, which is around mach 4. It's reusable, a feature many of my planes lack. The next step is to add passenger compartments and call it an airliner.

Today, I built a 525 meter ladder. With the launchpad elevation, it probably reached around 600m. At 400m of elevation, the ladders lost traction and Tedhat Kerman (RIP) began sliding down the ladder at physics warp speed, and lost half of the vertical speed no warp. Tedhat reached the top, and fell to his death. Then I decoupled the ladder and destroyed the launchpad and half of the associated structures. Moral: Space ladders are fun

I'm doing mission 2 for the US.

I'm joining the US.

Today, I did a test flight for an apollo mun mission. I found that the lander has some problems, the descent stage needs more fuel and the rover storage space turned out to be a kracken drive. Also, the legs need to be lower down. The next step is to fix it, relaunch the mission, and take pictures.

Today, I finally got Bill down from my relay station

I used to hyperedit in huge relay satellites.

Today there was a 4 vehicle pile up next to the kerbalnaut complex, resulting from a flipped truck and the immense appeal of crashing cars into downed trailers.

Jeb and Val go to the beach

Thanks for the challenge. This is my rocket The first and second stages are for getting into orbit. The third and fourth are for getting to the mun. The probe uses a combination of rockets and lithographing for the landing. The probe is a stayputnik, battery, small reaction wheel, and 4 surface mount anteanae. Scoring; Expendable, 1 powered landing, broke 100 km, landed on the mun 10+100+100+200+100 510 points

Today, I discovered thermometer hinges.

They launch a second mission to deliver plaques to the first mission.

I built a car

You should build a flying car.

I was sending a nuclear reactor to my minmus base, but for got to put any antennae on it. On my second attempt, I didn't have a decouple between the reactor and the descent stage. I managed to get it on the third attempt

Since my last post, I sent a third nuclear reactor to my minmus base, rescued Jeb, and planted a science probe on an asteroid,

Today, I sent another nuclear reactor to my minmus base. This time, I forgot to put a decoupler between the descent stage and the reactor. Hopefully I'll get right it tomorrow.

I sent a nuclear reactor to my minmus base, then found out I forgot to put antennae on it. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks for getting it on the leaderboard.

My plane stll hasn't been added to the leaderboard

Okay, I've edited my post accordingly.
