Started playing KSP at 0.7-0.8 (can't remember which), the days before struts, meaningful SAS, strap on liquid boosters (could only attach solids to the radial mounts), no symmetry or angle snap. Oh, and no time acceleration either. Every launch was an exercise in hilarious, wobbly, misaligned torture, with no ultimate objective other than highest escape velocity. My wife finally bought it for me for Xmas 2012, (around version 0.18 then) the lure of all them planets was too much for me to resist!

Well at least that solves the mystery as to why my capsule would overheat and explode on splashdown in 1.0.1!

Decided to try this again but strip down my previous design to go faster. I think this is now the fastest non-FAR entry... a record I don't expect to last long! EDIT: Oh, and these two images below comprise my lowest effort on a different run with a slightly different aircraft. Lost a few intakes but still made it to a landing!

After seemingly countless attempts, here's my effort. All stock apart from mods that make things prettier (and add extra planets). My aircraft seemed to suffer from rather odd SAS vibrations at high speed that made the physics trip out a bit at some points. That's my excuse for the amount of attempts I needed to land!
