For everyone with control problems ... Put an S.A.S module on top of at least every stage and press "F" the whole flight. That will stabilize your rocket greatly.

Protip: Use T to lock S.A.S so you don't need to hold F for the whole flight!

And guys remember, Solid Boosters are only to be used in lower stages. Upper Stages are LOX Country (if you want to do it right). ^^

First bit, put a separation stage between your capsule and the engines. Your poor Kerbals will thank you later!

BTW where I see Bouras' picture, is there a way to speed up time?

^^ Don´t care about my pic i changed my .config files =D 1000000 fuel and 2500 throttle i believe x´D

Easy cheating, but hard to get sas that can handle this power and if you don´t hceck the throttle from time to time you lose the engines x´D

Indeed, trying to figure out a way to get a massive solid burn going to about 35.000km, then use liquids outside the atmosphere.
