Hello!
This is like, my second time posting anything, so here goes:
This is my submission for this challenge:
I go pretty fast, specifically 2,148m/s. By not using one giant fairing, I reduced the total heat felt by each individual fairing. (at least, I think?)
Zero part clipping was used. Only mods are visual/informational. Single stage, too.
I'm surprised that it didn't catastrophically fail earlier, with those big red gauges.
