ok. so basically. there is a new Startrek movie coming out.

and all.

Logically, it follows that the Starship Enterprise must be recreated in kerbal space program.

This is not an easy task, and it is definitely not really within my skill level whatsoever.

I know what you are thinking. no way such a thing can fly. but I have proof!

ok. thats not really proof.

And I am trying to figure out how to get this thing off the ground here. I mean. my thrust, center of gravity, and lift places are all totally wrong... so while it can go down the runway, thats about it at the moment.

That and explode.

It is good at exploding.

I think it is actually lifting upsidedown... because my capsule is upside down? bugger.

But basicly. I think a working, flyable, single stage to orbit enterprise look a like is possible. (with enough struts), but I am basically just noobing it up here right now, and I would really like hints/ideas from all you cool much more smarter KSP people.

Thanks ahead of time for any help!

Actually, the new star trek movie has been released.

I made a miniature enterprise thing a few days ago, and it had the delta/v to get to Duna or Eve, but not attain orbit by itself.

I plan to add more boosters.
