Realism Overhaul SSTO


Recommended Posts

Note: This is a modification of a previous challenge I made, which turned out to be too difficult for anyone to achieve. I'm 100% sure that this challenge is doable, because I've done it before--with only 3 parts.

Over the years, inhabitants of Earth have been watching the Kerbals with envious eyes. They have seen strange, beautiful, elegant, and gigantic aircraft enter orbit and return, all in one piece. With the development of SSTOs, space travel, once enjoyed only by a select few, is now cheap enough to be within reach of middle-class Kerbals.

Earthlings have watched long enough. It's not their fault that their planet is 10 times bigger, they say. They want their own SSTO--one that can reach orbit around their own planet.

Rules

You must install the Realism Overhaul and all of its required mods. Your plane must reach a stable orbit around Earth, but it doesn't have to return. I don't care if your craft actually looks like a plane or not. As long as it can reach orbit and come back in one stage, it's good.

Mods

Required: Realism Overhaul and all its required mods (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/84689)

Optional: any mod listed as "Very Highly Recommended" and "Recommended" on the Realism Overhaul thread

Forbidden: all other mods

Heavy Lifter Scoreboard

We need a behemoth to haul heavy loads into orbit! The plane/rocket with the largest in-orbit mass wins.

Cutie Scoreboard

In the future, rich Earthlings will want their own spaceplane, to circumnavigate the world whenever they want. The plane/rocket with the smallest mass at launch wins, so long as it carries at least 1 Earthling.
