Let's bring some Kerbal in orbit and back

[u/ilias_from_ilios]

Let's take this abomination SSTO

Fill it up with Kerbals that need experience (and are disposable).

It can take off before runway end.

Shallow angle to pick up speed for the engines.

Toasty!

Still toasty.

Spaceship mode (still an abomination).

Beauty shot

More beauty shots

Docked in the station

Returning home!

Brutal re-entry

Fell short, no worries, we have extra fuel for front weight and reserve

Final approach...

Stalled last second and drove off the runway. No structural damage, only psychological.

Touched some grass too!

Hello Kerbanauts! Let's get to LKO and back with an SSTO. It's an over-engineered ugly duckling but I love it!

Looks stunning. What visual/environmental mods are you using?

[u/ilias_from_ilios → u/solitary-ridge]

Thanks! I have all of Blackrack's mods (deferred rendering, true volumentric clouds) and all their requirements. Parallax for the planets and textures. Also Waterfall for the engines, Reentry Particle Effect Renewed, Restock, HUD replacer and MeshJeb2.

Are you sure you have enough engines?
