A joke build. Do you know why the skeleton is a bad worker? He has lazy bones.
...
After playing SimpleRockets for a while and accidentally wrecking the computer I understood that rockets are fun.
Staging:
6 - gyro. Vital.
Throttle for all engine control
Do not forget to throttle down before detaching a stage!
1 - detach stage 1
2 - detach stage 2 (the BONE, Booster Oriented Nuclear Engine)
3 - detach stage 3 (the booster module with lettering
7 - detach RCS unit on top
4 - parachutes
The capsule has a re-entry heat shield effect.

This is a modification of O.A.R. Balalaika rocket (the one i used to launch SASAT Zero) with it's second stage replaced with an experimental B.O.N.E. engine. This kind of engine uses it's specific shape to provide enough surface for the radiators.

Tip: while flying the spacecraft, you can disable the gyro, tilt it and move Trim up a bit. It will start spinning, therefore stabilising itself.

    @Treadmill103 Thanks for the upvote. I gonna also try some SR when I will have the comp fixed. I tried to add many playable features here, but the booster seems to work wrong. But I have an idea...
