Yup or TinTin's rocket.

Nice looking rocket by the way, OP. Mine is "only" a chemical SSTO, so Mun travels require a fuel depot in LKO... with a Klaw. And it doesn't even have RCS to maneuver to a dock. Ok, it may not be the most useful design I've made... ^_^'

Rune. Sometimes you build something pretty just for the sake of it.

Stock. 15kdV and flies great. Looks to die for. What's not to like...

You sir have used the correct flag. I also love the chunky retro styling.

I'd +rep you only, apparently, I need to spread some more around.

(Does it actually carry crew though?)

Yup, that's a two-man lander can on the bottom. Means they can disembark without climbing the length of the ship.

The can detaches and has a couple of 'chutes for a low-dV landing at Kerbin.

I'm thinking of making a couple more with extra utility - cargo bay etc.

Awesome! I've thought of doing a rocket in that style before but I wasn't able to pull off a good look without infinite fuel to go anywhere. Because people are posting, I made this remake of the tintin rocket around the time of the Kerbal Cup last year. It a pain to land well XD.

Purdy :3 - And simple looking. I did my best to make it look simple from the outside.

Lander can under the nukes. Not what I'd call a safe location, but its there.

I still mess around with variations of this.

I decided a little while ago to make a pre-atomic version...

Was a bit of an odd launch. Seems someone left a tap on...
