In other words, just get a rocket out of the atmosphere, decouple the pod and let it parachute down?

When I saw the X1, I was reminded of my own rocket that I built quite a while ago, it's just like the X1, except with more fuel tanks. The launcher I made for it could only be flow by mechjeb because of the lag. Reaches 100 km orbit around Kerbin and still has 24 full fuel tanks in the external stages, I would probably do some modifications to it in 0.17.

The first time I tried getting a rocket into orbit manually, the lone Kerbal on the 1man pod ended up on an escape trajectory from Kerbin with no fuel for the engines. I left the duty of getting them into orbit to Mechjeb after that incident.

You could put it upright and get it into orbit, then do a powered+parachute landing onto the north pole.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]32627[/ATTACH] I decided to improve my flying skills and I started with a lander that was in orbit around the Mun, went for a vertical landing and almost landed safely.

I think I found a bug.. for some strange reasons, I cannot end the flights that I sent up via the hyperjump parts.

Move the projectile to any of the engines, switch to the relay station, turn up the throttle.

Anyone want to test my relay station design? I have horrible piloting skills and cannot perform a proper rendezvous. Only mods used were the hyperjump drive/endgate(to reduce time needed to get it into orbit) from http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/16831-0-16-PLUGIN-Hyperjump-System-Jumps-and-Hyperspace-Networks-v0-2 I built it in the SPH so yeah... I will most probably do some changes to it and make it my first official space station. http://www./?6u9ovsxlmtb2rf6

I don't think I should post images of my space stations, they're ridiculously simple and are only built for me to have a reliable endgate for my new hyperdrive equipped rockets.

Try putting several of those engines together.

But what if I decouple the pod before the plane crashes into the KSC after using all the weapons?

I tried building a relay station, but the kraken attacked it, guess I'll rebuild the relay station.

Great mod, sent up my first space stations(a little simple though, some remote tech parts, some solar panels) to Kerbin and Mun orbit.

Maybe stacking insane amount of the anti-gravity part would catch up.

The first rocket I tried to get into orbit around Kerbin manually ended up on an escape trajectory from Kerbin and is now orbiting the sun.

Can we use mechjeb to get the rockets into orbit? I would love to try this but my piloting skills are a little... Well.. The first rocket I tried to get into orbit went on an escape trajectory from Kerbin.

I once had a rocket with 3 arms extending out from the centre, built it to test the stability of a rocket likthat. When it took off, it started jerking every 5 seconds, each time with a G force of more than 10. Was it the kraken?

I build my rockets by building the main rocket first and saving it. I would give it a name, but the ones I use are extended to be launched by a multistage launcher. I designate them by Example, lets say the main rocket is called Main Rocket, the first one to be extended would be called MRMS-1, MR stands for Main Rocket, MS would be Multistage and the number at the back would tell me which extension model was it. If a extended model is modified and has a specific purpose, I would add a word at the end of the designation, for example, a model called FFMS-1 is equipped with lasers(using sunbeam laser mod) I would call it FFMS-1 Laser.

I got an idea for this, build a rocket to get into orbit, the rocket should be as long as possible. Then launch more rockets and dock with the previous rocket, a joint from the Damned Robotics pack could be used to give the rockets a slight curvature. Once the first ring is done(it might take a while though), more rockets with large foldable parts could be sent up to dock with the ring to widen the ring so that it can be seen from Kerbin. I don't have the patience nor the skills to pull off this plan, anyone wanna try this?

My first rocket to reach the Mun, unfortunately, I overestimated the fuel needed for the trip and the rocket landed at a dangerous speed which destroyed the engines, leaving the rocket with only one engine.
