How is it...

[G'th]

That the biggest rocket I've ever built in KSP, is also the most structurally and aerodynamically sound rocket I've ever made? No wobbles, no flexing, no nothing. Just straight flying all the way to the Mun and back. HOW!? lol

To bring along some backstory:

What I've been trying to do for the last couple of weeks is to try and replicate Apollo 11, from the Saturn V to the L.E.M. So far I've seen varied success in one or two areas. One try might be the best lander I've done, one try might be the best CSM, etc etc. Never have I managed to really combine everything into one single Apollo 11 replica. My Saturn V's in particular have been huge failures, with the most successful ones only managing to lift a very, very, VERY stripped down CSM.

But, tonight, through a storm of smoothies and a fresh influx of new mods, I've done it! I finally managed to build a fully functional Apollo 11-like rocket. (Replica doesn't apply, as I changed certain things, either for practicality or aesthetics, or both)

It hasn't lifted off yet, though through testing the various stages, I'm certain that the mission will be successful when the time comes.

And, here it is!

Now, as I said, this is indeed the most structurally sound rocket I've ever made, even despite the fact that everything else I've ever put together that reached this scale (the escape tower reaches into the VAB cieling) usually falls apart on the Launch Pad, even with clamps in place. All in all I'm fairly excited, because it has the delta v and general usability to still reach its stage goals, even if I fly it manually.

With this great success, it will definitely necessitate a Mission Report.

basically answered your own question, bra

Actually, not really, because the only new mods I got today were the ALCOR module and proc fairings. Already had everything else.

Ok....where did that tower on the side of your rocket come from? I NEED IT.
