Uploaded this to the SpacePort yesterday. Over a hundred downloads, but no ratings or comments!

C'mon guys, I want to know what people think of it, whether it's melting their computer or whether the Kraken is devouring it.

Also I've not tried getting to Eeloo yet with it. Anybody want to see if they can manage that?

Mission pictures follow:

Smart people might guess by looking at fuel levels, that there's a discontinuity. They'd be right. A time warp glitch sent me shooting off on an escape trajectory out of the Jool system, so I ended up having to restart some time between the Jool aerobrake and Laythe encounter. Ho hum, I used less fuel the second time around anyway.

WHAT IN KERBOLS ORBIT?!?!?!?!?!

Why did you feel the need to add that much thrust to get that tiny ship into orbit?

Well if something's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

Haha. "That tiny ship" was just over 340 tons into Kerbin orbit on the screenshots above. I've improved my launch strategy to get around 370 tons up there. I can escape and get an apoapsis of somewhere just past Moho before the last Mainsail expires.

As for why? Hey, maybe I might want to put a rover on Eeloo and send the orbiter back to Kerbin? That and, well, because I can. See my post above about things that are worth doing.
