SS Palomino reborn [All Stock, too!]

[samstarman5]

Previously, using older Nova and C7 mod parts, I assembled my own little version of the SS Palomino that was featured in the epic Disney movie The Black Hole. That craft, while able to make it off the ground, was nowhere capable of making even suborbital flight on its own.

So tonight, on a whim, I asked myself why I couldn\'t try to reassemble her with the new stock parts. Well I was quite able to, and she is pretty sound as she is, but completely unable to leave the ground on her own. Being a test vehicle, I thought it best to have her as a 1-man affair. Don\'t want to be throwing away kerbals by the busload now.

While I do aim to assemble a launch vehicle myself for her, I thought it might be fun to share the current version with you kerbineers and see what you come up with to get the Palomino up into space for exo-Kerbin missions. Mods are of course welcome, but do share what ones are used so others might find them if they don\'t already have the parts. I look forward to seeing what gets this legendary craft off the ground.

Afterthought: I feel I should give a word of caution to those who might want to bring their pilot out for a wave goodbye on the generous top of the craft. Don\'t jump, except the initial jump off the ladder. Apparently such actions cause instant disintegration of kerbonauts. Proceed with caution.

Fine print: This current assembly of the Palomino is compatible with KSP 0.16 only. Any use with other versions may result in unforeseen explosions, panic, planetary destruction, and/or just general apathy to assembling the craft at all. Use at your own risk.
