well almost 100

My duna rocket:

I'm not sure of the height.

[ratchet9868]

wow yours looks epic!

[montyben101]

Wheres whackjob when you need him?!

[Megalodon 720]

Exactly what I thought.

My biggest "serious" rocket, about 3600t on the pad:

did you return with this one? not really, correct?

There have been big rockets in the last 12 months, but no rocket will beat my first try to get into orbit with a weird contraption to which I kept adding different engines, fueltanks and of course fuellines (how little I knew of them back then) and struts left and right - pity I most likely do not have even a screenshot of it anywhere ...

No, this one didn't either:

Do you realize you are just calling Whackjob to show something that will make your rocket look like an ant?

Anyway, please oh mighty Whackjob, enlighten us.

A lot of rockets I build are about this size nowadays. In this picture I am delivering a habitation module to start off my Mun base. It was a very fun mission indeed.

Whackjob schmackjob. From a somewhat older version of KSP:

Yes, it is stock and yes it can space. Launch album

Mun habitation is worth it now . Whats that you want a flag on the Mun? Macrim get out and plant another flag. Easy 30k. Gets back in base. I have a forest of flags named forest of flags 0001 to 0008.

I'm not in the tall rocket business but if it fits in the VAB you're not going to impress a couple of people on this forum

My biggest rocket ever was 15 000 tons. Used it to do a single launch to Mars mission in RSS =P

In 0.23.5 performance took a big dive and the design became unusable.

From the mod BTSM. It's a manned mission to Eeloo. BTSM imposes some challenges that resulted in such a large rocket (athe mod has been altered to now have launchpad limits). One challenge is life support - you need a lot of equipment and supplies for the ~2 year journey to Eeloo and back. The other is that I don't have LV-N nukes - several technologies are on a final tier that costs 16,000 science to unlock each node. At this time I had only collected enough to unlock one of these end game nodes and chose the one with RTGs (otherwise to power that spacecraft I would have had to carry 7 or 8 "Nuk Nuk" nuclear reactors which are much bigger and heavier then RTGs at 8 tons each and the size of a hitchhiker module, solar panels are useless past Dres in this mod).

Biggest?

My largest flying structure was probably this:

Smaller, but 11 Jumbos to over 36km:

One of my most fun creations was, err, a bit big, and made it all the way to Mun:

I think the launch vehicle for my Anti-matter Array is also worth consideration:

I don't think any of these are massively massive on the massive scale but I do think I have a problem

As shown before, my 12000-ton SSTO rocket lifter (seen here in 0.23):

It puts a ~1000 ton payload into circular orbit and then de-orbits itself. I could make it bigger, but this was designed to carry my large space stations into orbit.

I'm working on a new, slightly larger version for 0.24, but I don't have the full tech tree unlocked yet. My new designs are fully recoverable, with parachutes and such, and since it's descending from a circular equatorial orbit it's easy to land near KSC. I get back something like 80-90% of the cost, so even a huge design isn't expensive.

I guess Whackjob must've just had the common sense to not post their largest rocket, knowing that they'd just crash the forums.

My uncrewed Eve return ship was pretty big, though not as big as the crewed version I'm working on now!

The return stages (the small 2.5m tanks at the top) were launched to a low retrograde Kerbin orbit un-fueled and required a separate launch to fill them up before departing for Eve.

Ad Astra :-D
