Single Stage to almost anywhere ladder-powered plane

[Pds314]

I have created a stock bicycle Kerbal-on-ladder-powered plane that can get into orbit around Kerbin with no fuel required...

In FAR...

In Real Solar System!!!

As far as I can tell from casting my powers of sorcery on them, Kerbal-on-ladder forces have 1.8 kN of thrust, 2 G for a Kerbal. This means that the plane has nearly 5 m/s of acceleration (which matches experimental results). This means it should hypothetically be able to go anywhere but Tylo in stock KSP or anywhere in RSS without using fuel. In practice, time-warping usually requires some EVA fuel to get back on, so you'll eventually run out of that (after around 30-40 warps or so).

That's amazing. On a side note, can I get that beautiful texture for stock kerbin? I've seen it with RSS but don't know where it comes from.

I believe the beautiful textures people have are from Universe Replacer.

I don't personally have it, that's just what RSS's Earth looks like.

I know about Universe replacer/texture replacer, but it dosen't have RSS textures. Must PM Nathan

It's in the latest version.
