OH HELLS YEAH. You know how I though I won before? Well I won even harder! :D
I have now crossed over into what I shall call NULLSPACE (I discovered it, I put a craft here, and I put the first kerbin outside here, thus I get to name it :P). My speed? NaN. Yeah; I think it's safe to say I have now discovered interdimensional travel. I think it's also safe to say other dimensions are boring as hell.

Each test seems to have somewhat unique results; if one doesn't work, try a new one... just back up your spaceships first. :P

Latest test flung a new craft into NULLSPACE at what appeared to be an even higher rate of speed. Then the client crashed. :D

I beat physics so hard they said GG and went home.

Edit: also of note: said crash-ship works repeatably; so again, I advise caution when experimenting with tan(pi/2).

Edit: Also, it seems it is possible to do it such that they are underground...

These launch clamps also make launch ultra-light perpetual-motion gliders much more simple. No need for engines, no need for wheels.

Another handy thing to note: you can rotate the capsule just like any other part; except it rotates the entire ship. Clamps allow you to now launch at a 45 degree angle if you so choose. :D
Or any other angle for that matter.

Not to mention the crew transfer portion of "docking" provided you could get crew close enough together.

Presumably, if more than 3 crew is possible, you could have a large "space station" (or moonbase) part and rotate crew through them etc using only smaller landers, without having to launch/land the big thing again.

Pffft, you sillies, just use wing segments!

I was aiming for the Mun, but missed and so settled for Minmus. The Minmus Space Clubhouse has landed.

I may move it though; it's at a bit of a precarious angle.

Edit: and moved... though it's even more precarious, 2 engines fell off in the process due to terrible clubhouse piloting; welcome home sucker buddy!

I'm actually pretty damn surprised this even made it out of the atmosphere. It was a simple design; just 6 3-large-tank-large-rockets around a 2-large-tank-large-rocket, with some stabilizers, a stage separator, and this thing on top. Made maneuvering kinda hellish though, due to the uneven mass. struts kept it pretty stable in atmosphere; I suspect you could loft a small complex at once if you tried hard in your design.

We really need well-designed cowling now so we can put useful things into space!

hover your mouse over the crew portraits, a little eva button should appear. click that. Once you're EVA'd WASD + left shift/control. Pop up keys should appear when you're near a hatch/ladder.

Press R to turn on/off your rocket pack.*

*Note: Rocket pack does not have enough thrust to help with anything on kerbin.

so, to avoid the excessive pancaking, I'm making reverse rockets:
