------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your challenge is to design and build a space vehicle capable of reaching 328000ft (which equates to 100km, the height of the Karmán Line and the internationally accepted boundry between the atmosphere and space.). Your spacecraft can take any form you like. Rockets and spaceplanes will all be accepted, as will any other design you can come up with, so long as it reaches an altitude of 328000ft, and is mobile friendly (I dont have SimplePlanes for PC). Entries will be given a mark out of 40 based on their speed, altitude, practicality/recoverability and looks. A maximum of 5 bonus points will also be available for nice additional details, such as moving parts. Please note that modded parts are permitted, however bonus points will be awarded to those who make most use of stock components. All entries should be made as successors to this upload, so i can find them easier. The prizes will be as follows:
First Place: 15 upvotes
Second place: 10 upvotes
Third place: 5 upvotes
All other entrants will receive one upvote per entry, so long as a decent amount of effort has been put into it. Please submit your entries before midnight on Friday 5th of February. Good luck!!
