My first time in orbit with a spaceplane doing most of the work!

So I just got a Kerbal into orbit using a spaceplane (Aero Spacer 1.2). To do this, I built a plane, flew up to 20km and 1000 m/s, spun out of control, recovered with the help of ASAS, fired the dual aerospikes for the ten seconds that they lasted (LH2/LOX engines need a ton of fuel... next design will use LF/LOX), got out, and used the EVA pack to reach orbit.

No screenshots, but there's not much to see - just a Kerbal sitting in a highly inclined, highly eccentric low orbit, and possibly a fireball from re-entry if Deadly Reentry decides to be deadly for once.

My attempts at a working SSTO spaceplane continue.
