Stock: Press space bar to orbit!

[llegar]

Easier than MechJeb!

Just load engines up to full throttle, hit T for SAS, and then press the space bar. 23 minutes and 35 seconds later you'll have an empty fuel station in orbit ready to be fueled up.

Don't steer, don't mess with the throttle. Just walk away and make yourself a sandwich.

Oh, and I've been attempting this for a few hours, but the craft has docking ports on it. I believe it's possible (with exact timing) to press space bar and dock with itself (if you've got a copy of it already in orbit).

If you succeed at "Space Bar to Dock", let me know!!!

Amazing! A forum member by the username of Jamie Logan also posted a space bar to orbit (SBTO, is what I'm dubbing it from now on) that was also very nice!

I like this abbreviation, "spacebar to orbit"

If only NASA can think of something that's so mechanically simple that the shape and weight of something can enter orbit with a little help from thrust

Thanks! I'll search for Jamie's to see if I can make any improvements on my own.

Woah! What a sweet idea! SBTO...that's pretty catchy, really.

How did I never think of an inclined launch? Genius.

How did you separate the stages? Some sort of mod?
