So I figured I would do it in a rocket glider. This is the craft in question, the very unassuming Vixen, entirely stock aside from Kerbal Engineer. It takes off like a normal rocket, i.e. straight up, which admittedly is a complete waste of time. The gravity turn is done very early, the boosters are decoupled, and we'll soon circularize at 44km altitude. Most of the flight is composed of babysitting the navball and keeping the altitude below the set limits. Being really smart, I've overshot the KSC by quite a margin and there's no way to salvage it. In the immortal words of James May, "Oh cock." I still manage to bring it around for a landing, wasting a couple of minutes on a tight banking turn. Jeb's face says it all. "I'm not even mad." Vital Statistics Craft Name: Vixen Flight Time: 2378 s Achievements: 2.) A Winnar Is You: completed the challenge and landed safely (-5s) 3.) Precision pilot: landed on the spaceplane runway (-6s) 4.) Wrong way, champ: landed on the spaceplane runway heading West instead of East (-7s) 8.) Speed angel: hit a top speed of over 2,000m/s (does not stack with previous acheivement)(-20s) 11.) Jets? Those are like wheels but for air, right?: craft has no jet engines (-35s) Final Flight Time: 2305 s
