Launch from KSC.

A single extra large conventional booster takes us high into the atmosphere.

Front view. The actual payload is a evil looking antimatter powered spaceplane.

the space plane has around 27km/s d/v and is attached to 42km/s antimatter rocket and of course the warp drive

After producing enough Exotic Matter, the warp drive is activated.

heat is a very important thing to manage.

This is my very first warp drive powered ship in KSP.

Driving these things requires little effort, you just target the planet and de-accelerate gradually on approach.

After arriving at Jool and some unfortunate maneuvering we head straight to Laythe

I lost so much time maneuvering because Jool was in the way and i freaked at how fast i came out of warp.

After a 7km/s burn, we are high over Laythe, the crew are eager to land at the Poles

Separation from the Drive section.

The space plane uses 3 separate antimatter engines. 2 for atmospheric flight and one thermal ramjet npzzle for its ultra high performance in space. It is very OP/

Coming down.

Landed!

Science is performed and the crew takes selfies to upload to their social profiles.

Heading to the equator.

beautiful Laythe is beautiful.

Leaving Laythe straight for Kerbin.

A high orbit really helps.

After around 3-4 min we arrive.

A 8km/s burn and we are in orbit!

Loosing as much energy as possible. We don`t want to upset the antimatter containment devices

Close to the runway.

I love landing this terror, one mistake and the entire continent is glass.

The mission took 2 days due to my low skill in handling warp drives. Lessons were learned and some moneyz were recovered.

And a more complex design. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

<3 KSP!!!!!
