Introducing the Xenolution Mk.1 Kerbin Orbital Spacegate!

Using only the finest duct tape, wires we found in a dumpster, and some glowy lights from a nearby nightclub, we have designed the first, and the only space gate! Using some sort of magical science known as worm hole theory, we can teleport a spacecraft from one side of the Kerniverse to the other!

This thing was an absolute pain to get into orbit. I had to use the Gravitsapa mod part to even achieve lift off, and then I had a very weak thrust. Once I got into 0 atmosphere, I started to tilt, slowly gaining apoapsis and periapsis. The map informed me of a big problem - it was flying off into Kerbol orbit - so I had to use the vertical speed kill with the Gravitsapa, and with that, I forged an excellent orbit.

My challenge to you, Kerbal Space Program forums...

... is to film / make a picture, of you, not only managing to fly this leviathan into orbit, but also flying a ship through it! (Nothing will happen, but it would be a huge achievement.)

Mods required: Gravitsapa part. That's all.

God speed, kerbonauts. And good luck. You're gonna need it.

I had to use the big tower stabilizer things to be able to keep it from falling over. The first design was actually 4 wing structures and was intended to see how badly I can break the laws of aerodynamics. The back wing closest to the launchpad tower kept breaking, even though it didn't touch the tower (I pulled the command pod up so far that it wouldn't be anywhere near it.)

The gravitsapa provided a nice levitation boost though, enough for me to be able to fly away from the basic area of the KSC (even if it was at the pace of a snail with a hangover.)
