I'll get my Duna return rover up tomorrow. For now, I'm tired and I going to bed.

My abort sequence did more harm than good. At least they survived.

This challenge is pretty similar to yours: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/25204-Kerbal-Grasshopper-%28VTVL%29

I made a pretty good Ares I:

Rodlin Kerman. Got hit in the head by a 100 ton rocket. The last thing he saw: What happened? I made him lie down on the ramp to watch a rocket launch, but as soon as I switched focus, the liquid engines shut down and the solids kept burning. The rocket ran out of fuel and crashed. On his head. Sentence fragments.

A toroidal fuel tank under to pod.

You can use 24-77s as landing retro rockets.

Did it just kill a bird?

Th Bismarck:

Here's my very efficient 40 ton lifter: I'll post the .carft file later, but it requires a very good gravity turn to get it to orbit.

The yellow ladder is way better.

How many cannons and torpedoes does it have?

How hard is it to sink?

I get less lag from 200 part rockets than 30 part rockets.

That was kinda how mine looked like at first, but then I made it more compact and stabler.

I have achieved a payload 16.19%! I used the 1.5 staging technique from my MPCV Lite and made a super efficient heavy lift launch vehicle. It also has retro engines to deorbit the core stage.

0.17 and below.

I just perfected this 40 ton lifter today. It uses advanced engine staging (in which engines are jettisoned as the rocket gets lighter) and crossfeed between the boosters. It also has a deorbit motor for the core booster once it drops of the payload. Has a payload fraction of 16.19%!

It's pretty useless IMO, and can distract the player sometimes.

Smallest controllable rover. Go home guys. And the smallest working STS-style shuttle. I'll post the newer and improved version of the shuttle soon.

What? new aerodynamic effects? Didn't we just get them?

Already is.

Why are you using air intakes?

The last thing Rodlin Kerman saw.

Merman Kerman had just witnessed a rocket failure... I thought they survived... Nope. The parts under and above the command pod are still intact though.
