Ahhh, !

The probe core on top rights the spacecraft on reentry? Thanks! I'll check that out! 

That or a pilot who has at least orbited Kerbin once already.

Really there is no shame in using prograde hold for the ascent to orbit, and retrograde hold (on surface mode) for re-entry.

Less weight and more Delta.V seem more important than drag and symmetry to me. 

Kerbal7,
 You should rethink your approach here. If you add a little mass to fix the aerodynamics, you will be able to accelerate more efficiently and perform a proper gravity turn. This will result in DV savings, both in drag losses and cosine losses, and leave you in orbit with *more* DV.

Best,

<rhetorical question> How do you expect people will interpret "This rocket get to the Mun just fine"? 

Moot point anyway. The opportunity you have to optimize the vessel is at the VAB, once you reach orbit you have to deal with whatever shortcomings it have.

Gee wiz. It's not like different people interpret the written word different or anything. 

It's not like there are 10,000+ denominations of Christianity, interpreting one religious text, 50,000+ different ways. 

Hell man, why are you wasting your time here on the Kerbal forums? Get your cheeks on over to the Vatican and straighten this excrementse out.

I'd rather talk about KSP than about religion. That's why I "waste" my time in those forums, not studying theology.

But seems you're not interested in what I have to say about KSP. Good luck with you test rocket.
