My First SSTO Mission... On My First Day

Okay, I just joined KSP today.  I've been tinkering around for quite a few hours now, and I just made my first SSTO mission.  I got into orbit around 45,000 Meters, flew for 15 minutes, then landed in a hilly place in the middle of nowhere.  Surprisingly, the SSTO was really easy to fly.  However, this SSTO does not have enough fuel to get out of gravity's pull.  I'm gonna call it the JebWorks Leviathan I.  I'm probably going to add a few more fuel tanks, though.  It's a real gas guzzler.  Here's the things I might add to it.

-Mining Drills

-Extra Fuel tanks

-Convert-O-Tron

-A.I.R.B.R.A.K.E.S.

That's a nice looking spaceplane Thomato. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but the URL for your imgur page was garbled a bit. I've gone ahead and edited it so it'll work. 

Glad to have you aboard, and welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forums and nice suborbital hopper design. Now you have a good plane for "take measures above x km" - contracts.

It took me 2 years to make an SSTO that worked. 

Congrats on yours, though.
