the only downside to having many types and amrks of rockets is that the rocket list will be cluttered.

Yeah I'm still looking for a good parts catalog type mod that works in .23

There are two or three that fit your criteria.

Remember, Kerbin atmosphere ends at 70km, so anything below that will net you a deorbit.

69,501 is actually the cutoff for drag.

[dennislp3]

That sounds like a good challenge...a manual orbit of 69,502

You'd probably need to establish a slightly higher orbit and then reduce your orbit. Best done with a tiny tiny probe for minute control.
If half the ship is outside the atmosphere and the other half inside, what happens? Do KSP handles that?

[Octobomb]

It'll be either the altitude of the command pod or CoM - likely the latter. Besides, there is so little drag past 40-50km. In other news, the 12pollo now only needs RCS and an abort system and her rovers. It's a 12 person Apollo mission.

You can easily get into orbit with an OKTO, an FL-T200 and a 48-7s, so I'd test with that.

[Eric Blank]

Dont forget to bring solar panels, and maybe a battery.

Replacing the FL-T200 with a 400 will also work.

So, EnterElysium just dived into Jool and survived with a craft that was definitely not designed for it.

It was exciting. ;3

When you go to Duna to land, get up again, then have enough fuel to pass by Eve and land on Gilly (which is damn hard btw) and can still make it home, you brought too much.

So my SO is lookin for tutorial videos that are more recent then 2012, for just building a successful rocket.

My google fu is not finding a lot of that out there, most of the newer stuff seems aimed toward probes and space planes.

Define successful. You can get to orbit with a tank, engine and command pod.

[MrWiggles]

Her rockets explode on the launch pad or in the air.

[Putnam]

Struts.

Start simple...what sort of design are you using? sounds unbalanced or like you have too many engines making control impossible.
