My best yet.

As the title suggests, this is my best rocket to date. In the last few days I've been advancing in leaps and bounds. This is the fruit of my labors.

Its a 2 stage rocket. The first is just 6 solid fuel boosters. The second stage is a 3 tank liquid fuel rocket, nothing fancy. I also through some stabilizers on top of the solid boosters to help with pre-space wobbles, as well as some parachutes for fun. This should prove that simple(ish) can be a more effective design philosophy.

Early today I got to roughly 2500km up with this simple design. Pics for proof:

I've also been able to enter into a stable orbit with the addition of one more fuel tank. Also it should be noted that I havent modified or added to my client at all, it's pure KSP 0.8.4.

i have question, do chutes open when you stage boosters away ? you cant control them, right ?

[what-the]

I think chutes can open if you open them just before stage separation. ie. Have the chutes just before the decouplers.

thanks for pointing that out ... o thought you cannot change order in stage

Looks like you werent too far from escape velocity

Great Rocket! Keep up the designing!

Have you tried any of the mod packs?
