Feel free to leave a comment about what you think i should add

This is my first attempt at a rocket. This project is not even close to finished and it already goes up the highest i have ever gotten something to go up to. Once the Jets run out of air/slow (would press around 800ish mph) down press 1 to launch component 1 and that turns on the rocket/ missile motors that don't need air to produce thrust.
(Max height i have achieved is 312,000 ft. to put this in perspective, the Kármán line aka the line between outer space and earths outer atmosphere is 328,084 ft. I got pretty close to outer space)

-What will be added to the final version
- 1-2 more components with more rocket boosters
- will try to add rotatory gizmos on boosters so that u can turn via thrust vectoring
- will try to make the boosters internal instead of hanging around on the outside.
- will add break flaps to top component so that in can slow down before it lands in the water.
- will try to make more aesthetically pleasing? maybe? lol

_FINAL GOAL_ to have a multi stage rocket that can get well past the Kármán line at 328,084 ft and be in outer space

-Credit to @MaxTeoz for the initial design of the cruse missile.( your idea was a stroke of genius and i have made many different applications out of that including my rocket bombs, and the non-oxygen consuming rocket boosters that are good past where normal jets run low

- This rocket was designed by my SP corp. _S.P.A.A.S.E._
