I was playing with getting into orbit and releasing satellites for a while, which is fun. But, for a change of pace I decided to go big and see how high I could get my velocity heading straight up using all standard parts. And here it is... Stage 1: Begin burn of 21x Liquid engines with 2 tanks each and 3x solid boosters Stage 2: Release stage 1 solid boosters Stage 3: Release stage 1 liquid engines/tanks and begin burn of 3x solid boosters for adequate separation Stage 4: Begin burn of 9x liquid engines with 2 tanks each and 3x liquid engines with 3 tanks each Stage 5: Release stage 3 solid boosters Stage 6: Release stage 4 exterior liquid engines/tanks Stage 7: Begin burn of 9x solid boosters Stage 8: Release stage 7 solid boosters Stage 9: Release stage 4 interior liquid engines/tanks Stage 10: Begin burn of 1x liquid engine with 3 tanks Total burn time: 9m 43s Max velocity: 8516 m/s
