Da best (kinda) SSTO you can get. This is the only craft I managed to orbit, apart from Aeris with its miserable 70-80 km. It even has the functionality to drop dead weight on ascent!

Whew, I very imperfectly tried it out! It was impossbile, but necessary . I used infinite fuel and rcs (those doesn't matter much anyway) and small rockomaxes to initiate and throttle to maintain the spin of the station (I've found out that even though I put all the control stuff for group 1 to toggle, they managed to desynchronise). Also, 60 rpm is definitely much more than it was in the film, IIRC. Maybe I'll do a proper one later, but at the moment I am very nauseated And also, the point of no return for this is no less than 50km (FAR and DRE). I recommend this challenge to everyone and advise you to have Hans Zimmer - Day One Dark playing in the background . I can share those save files of mine if you are too lazy to do those yourself (although the crafts could have much more eye-candy to it. And size. And mass)

Hello, fellows! I'm not sure where should I put this topic, but I've REALLY wanted to ask how to avoid the annoying pre-launch disassembling. Parts just randomly start to go crazy no matter how much struts I add to them (lol) when physics kick in on the launchpad. I've found quite a nice solution to it: Adding a "pump" to slowly load fuel into rocket tanks seems to work quite fine, but is a bit time consuming. I've never really tried making oversized rockets, but it works just fine with the medium ones. Just push alt+rightclick on both of the tanks and load fuel from the static ones, also requires to empty tanks before flight. Hopefully this helps

Also if you run a nose cone in vacuum it does not respond. Not even with mesage of impossibility of experiment like other sensors do.

Have the same problem here. Seems that every experiment started to yield horribly less science than it should . I've sent a ship to orbit Kerbol and when it reached it ran a gravity scan. Scans revealed a total output of 660 science points with 60% transmission efficiency and 120 (can't remember the exact number) mits of data. After transmitting the data I got 36 science (or even 12.4, maybe it was an another experiment). Also not only scientific output seems to be decreased, but also data transmitted. After executing transmission the data transmitted in report was 36 points instead of 60. At first I thought it depends on the antennae type\stupidity\distance but neither of them affects it because even recovery gives the same low result as that. Now I kinda feel stuck with all those 550 pts researches

I think it kinda looks like this:
