1.0 High Velocity Drop-Pod Challenge

[Javamac]

So my challenge is pretty much an attempt to smash into Kerbin's atmosphere and survive. There's a couple high-score categories to be looked at.

Rules: Stock only, No mods, Atmosphere effects must be at 100%, No cheats except unlimited fuel & rcs. To qualify, the pilot must survive splashdown over water.

Challenge #1: Tempering challenge - Throw you ship at Kerbin at the fastest velocity you can walk away from! Speed measured at the atmosphere marker (36K), I'm going to set a minimum ÃŽâ€V of 7500m/s

Challenge #2: HALO challenge - Deploy chutes/airbrakes/start praying at the lowest possible altitude. Free pair of sunglasses for sticking the landing.

I'll be posting my entry shortly. Still perfecting some designs and trying to get good shots. I hope to see some screaming fast entries soon! Have fun.
