Launch Escape System for 90 tons payload

Hi all !

Just wanted to share my latest success at recovering from total launch failure.

The payload is a 46 parts Crew Bus, for delivering Kerbals to Space Stations, that reenters the atmosphere like a common capsule (way simpler mission profile than a space shuttle). In case of failure at launch, the G.E.K.O.S. (Get 'Em Kerbals Out System) can pull the 95 tons payload out of harm's way, accelerating away at 5.9 to 7g (which isn't enough to my taste, needs more boosters).

 

See it in action!!

Failure:

 

 

Success:

 

 

Now I'm gonna rest a little. Enjoy!
