May I present the simple mans SSTO, the aptly named ShO-3.

Very simple to use, very easy to learn, great fun to fly.

Instructions:

- Full throttle take off, pull up at 70m/s without worrying about tail strikes! (Trust me)

- Pull upto and hold 40 degrees on the nav ball.

- The rocket motor will engage automatically, and once you reach 1000m/s pitch down to your pro-grade velocity marker.

- Burn on your prograde until your apoapsis is 70,000m then cut power.

- Glide up to your apoapsis and circularize, which should take around 400m/s of Dv.

- Your should now be in orbit with around 15 electric charge and 30 liquid fuel for de-orbiting.

Download!

Let me know what you think, and have fun!

Notes:

Not designed for orbits beyond 72km!

Not designed for lengthy durations in space!

Not guaranteed to preserve kerbals beyond original use by date!

Not guaranteed to not explode!

May or may not be airtight!
