Eh, put some boosters on the underside (liquid or solid), flip the primary module and stick some launch stabilizers on it.

Should get it to space in no time. Just like a Shuttle.

[Twi]

Those hybrid engines can't even lift the plane's weight, though.  And the rudders get in the way if I want to mount boosters on the top too.

Cheat testing reveals that this thing is stupidly maneuverable in roll and I probably don't need rudders anyways, though. :p It is about as elegant as an elephant in every other direction, though.

i do not know why, but whenever i am looking at the map during manuevers and I see the orbits all shifty and whatnot, i a reminded of ballet.

probably because I cock up most of my hohmanns and have to do maneouver trickery just to get somewhere. like right now. i am in polar orbit around minmus and have no idea how it became that way. what i am going to do is not try to change inclination like any reasonable person would. i am going in for a landing.

I finally have a decent rocket constructed to take a good sized rover to the Mun, but bad things keep happening.
Like, spontaneous explosions.

More struts.

Thats KSP, man.

[Facekillz058]

Okay, I figured I had enough tape on this thing, but I just watched my command pod phase halfway into my ship and explode.

Troubleshooting is fun.

One of my failed test flights of a Kerbin airplane just made an impromptu backwards landing. 

[Facekillz058]

Damn it, my rover keeps breaking itself off my main ship right before I get into orbit.
Time to strut it on there real tight.

[Aseaheru]

Mods are !!FUN!!.

[Facekillz058]

Okay, I FINALLY got a rover to the Mun in one piece!
The game crashed before I could get Jeb into EVA and plant a flag, but:

And I just crashed Bill into one of the solar panels FUUUUUUU

[Leonon]

So I decided to try a new SSTO design.

[da_nang]

I've sent parts for a space station to Duna. It will be constructed there. Supports 16 Kerbals, 10 docked ships and can refuel.

[Fayrik]

10 docked ships

...What kind of CPU do you have? o.O
My PC nearly died at 4 docked ships.

The Minmus and Return mission was an astounding success.

Spoiler: Pictures. Lots of them. Consider yourself warned. (click to show/hide)

First off, the craft: The Long Ranger Mk. I. Crew? Bob and Bill Kerman plus some other guy whose name I forgot.


Slowing down in Minmus orbit and the landing.



Time for the flag. Bob is the one who planted it. The plaque reads:
"I landed here without RCS and using only a nuclear engine. BEAT THAT, JEB!
-Bob"



And now, a lovely shot of the Long Ranger Mk. I back in Kerbin orbit, waiting to be refueled.
