Still working on an actual orbit + landing.

Third Flight (Obit Attempt)
Three go containers mostly into space (65k) and then back again. Not quite the goal but success anyway. Lost of science cam back and that's always a goo'd thing.
Second Flight
Goal: 10k feet.
So Jeb and the engineers might have overdone the fuel for such a modest goal, but we got some new firsts :)
Launching with three tanks, which is possibly three times as many as needed. We also attached a nice Goo canister just for kicks.
Mid launch, well past 10k and no where near apoapsis.
Err, Jeb, aren't those the goo canisters falling to earth now? Crap.
Burning on the way down...totlay forgot to check how high I ended up, somewhere around 150k, probably could have shortened the burned and attained orbit..oh well. Pretty rentry.
Safe Return!
Next Goal, orbit and return to Space Center!
First Manned Flight
Simple Lander Configuration for a quick hop on planet. Reached 500 meters and landed safely.
6 Science Gained! :)
Next Goal: 10k meters and a safe landing.
