2. Otherworldly Connection (still on 0.1.0.0)

[What did you do in KSP2 today?]

Wanted to mess with some of the lower stage XL parts and get a big rocket into orbit just for fun.

[The classic: Land on the VAB and plant a flag]

Challenge complete!
I got on top of the VAB with a bare-bones VTOL (complete with emergency thrusters and parachutes, because I'm a bad pilot).
For the satellite dish, I managed to survive crashing a modified Eurofighter Typhoon (made by @CometAurora).

[An unique and short termed opportunity: get very close to the sun.]

This is as close as I have the patience (and fuel) for.
601 km periapsis (any lower and it explodes) and 119,669 km apoapsis.
Literally could not have done this without the new time warp mechanics, ion engines are actually fun for once!

I'm excited to make planes with the new procedurally generated wings!
