7128 streamlined rocket

[blurrr 2]

Having just download 1.3, I knew I needed to take advantage of the side-attaching fuel tanks. A modification on a generic design created the 7128. The first stage can put the second in a sizable orbit, and the second can hit the mun from there. The craft stabilizes extremely well, with a gimbaling engine on the first stage. Pulling Hoffman transfers is a pain though, because the lack of RCS means the rocket takes forever to turn.

Is that ASAS directly under your stage two bell?

It\'s a pressure cooker.

I have a silisko mini-decoupler thing between them

Why not use the small decoupler right under the capsule too? Just curious.
