How fast can you reach 1,000 km challenge

[DunaManiac]

The title says it all: how fast can you reach 1000 km in Kerbal space program?

The Challenge:

1. Build a rocket

2. Launch it into space

3. See how long it takes to reach 1000 km or 1,000,000 meters.

Rules/Clarifications:

1. You may not use the alt-f12 menu or edit the save file (bottom line, no cheating at all)

2. You need to post a video, or at the very least, a screenshot of the craft on the launchpad, in space, and the time at 1000 km.

3. Staging is allowed, you can SSTO if you want, but I wouldn't recommend it.

4. You may use either manned or unmanned, I would not recommend it, but if you want to send a kerbal flying away from Kerbin at 8km per second, you can.

5. You can return the payload, but it is not required.

6. Modded is alright, but no ridiculously powerful engines, like from the Interstellar Mod.

Example Mission time is 5:01:

I'll try.

One can easily use the vector engine

I reached 1000km height in 2:55. Lots of vector engines and aspargus staging.
