Leviathan XX - The tallest stock rocket to ever fly?

[Event_Horizon5]

I\'ve spent the better part of three days trying to build the tallest rocket that I could possibly make using only stock parts - the caveat being that it needs to actually fly to orbit - at minimum.

The result, is the Leviathan XX.

View the image gallery of it\'s maiden flight here.

I\'m sure a more appropriate name is \'Biggest-Lag-Monstrosity-Ever\'.

Unfortunately such a beauty will not work once the jet fuel is differentiated from the rocket fuel.

I know. Frankly I\'m pretty sure 0.16 is going to break ship designs like this anyways thanks to the re-scale. I knew it wouldn\'t last forever, so I figured I\'d go for one last shot at insanity before insane things become impossible things.

Surprisingly, it didn\'t lag TOO much. Some of my previous designs brought the game to a grinding halt but I stayed above 5-10 fps most of the time with this one.

I\'m impressed. I\'ve never tried anything this large. However, what I have tried is to make a rediculously tall tower of fuselages to set my rocket on, with the idea that if I launch my rocket from 100m or 200m off the ground the air is thinner and I should save some fuel

I think I have you beat on size if not height...

I designed it to get the lowest orbit possible around the sun, its a WIP. Also its a mushroom to clear the tower and keep height down.

Also it does in fact fly, though the RCS and altitude bugs out a bit. The first stage can just about put the thing in orbit.

EDIT: I didn\'t see that it was stock parts. This design is Kosmos and Nova

Even the screenshots make my laptop lag.

Good thing my PC is a lot faster.
