[STOCK]Tiny rocket challenge (Continuation for 1.1)

[Nefrums]

Hmmm...    Do you think maned Eve+return trip is possible?

It might be if any of the tiny engines produce any thrust.

Even for you, that's crazy.

On-topic, it might be (even if you're talking about a good-old-fashioned land-and-return), just barely. Fuel margins would be insanely tight, and the Eve ascent would have to go absolutely perfect. F5 is your friend.

what about tweakscale? this way we could have .625m heatshields 

Without mods, But you can use special parts, Like a science lab or heatshields

Nothing is to crazy for me!

Both spark and thud have ok isp at 4km autetude on Eve, so it should be possible. 

I tried launching a 30t payload to LKO with only tiny parts.  It felt like trying to fly a jelly worm... The amount of struts needed was ridiculous.

Here we go:  

695 parts, extremely flexible and very draggy rocket, powered by 28 Thuds and 5 sparks.

Oh Wow! You're first who landed to Eve with tiny part rocket!

So... does  the submission HAVE to be a rocket? Or can it be an SSTO?

No differences, you can make anything but it need available to flight.

I believe my "Teeny" still holds the record for smallest rocket to orbit: 0.86 tonnes.

Best,

Actually the current record is held by @foamyesque who made it to orbit with .645t

 Bloojay,

 My post was accurate at the time it was written, and remained accurate almost a half a year afterwards, so no correction necessary

143,190 kg with launch clamps. I know this from the kerbal engineer readout.
