Whackjob challenge: Shimmy's Quest!

If you truly want to make flying with FAR a pain, make sure to attach the fuel tanks sideways. I sideways fuel tank makes a ton more drag than one oriented into the flow. If you're feeling lazy, you can attach a bunch of sideways tanks at the bottom to make your rocket stable. If you're feeling enterprising, attach a bunch of sideways fuel tanks at the top to make it less stable.

What kind of payload do you expect to send to LEO to make this work?

How does that not shake itself apart during launch?

Many, many, many builds worth of experience with the large and the unlikely. I do not think it would be unreasonable to say that I am something of an expert in this field. :)

With RSS and FAR installed, I will be putting a slightly smaller variant of the Arkingthaad Tower Lander on the Mun. I did put a science lab on it because science.

#EDIT: ACK! Mods, merge this with the above post? Hit REPLY instead of EDIT.

#EDIT2: Progress report. Here's the lander I'm trying to take to the Mun in RSS + FAR:

And here's how far I've gotten so far:

The engineering is up to snuff, my piloting questionably so, so now it's a mere matter of "moar boosters". I'll get there. But after 4 hours of building, I think I'll call it a night. Tomorrow we continue!

It wouldn't surprise me if Whackjob is mentioned somewhere in the Bible.

Genesis 19:24 describes a failed launch of Whackjob's. It does call him the Lá´Âʀᴅ, but I think it's just a translation error.
