Your task is to build a spacecraft that can reach 10000000 (ten million) feet in a reasonable amount of time (the attention span of a 13 year old) it can be fictional or based on the real thing, with some changes obviously. 1st: 10 upvotes, 2nd: 5 upvotes and third, 3 upvotes. Ten points for each factor. The due date is the 1st of october, but can be extended. You will be judged on time, design aesthetics, and top speed. Good luck

@Dexa wins, as I can’t find rawhides profile.
Just checking, you guys know it’s TEN million feet
Just to be honest I would like to see you try to do this @jetnyan
@jetnyan 5 minutes? Hmm, my rocket when intested it MADE it in 5 minutes. Anyway thanks for the compliments.
@jetnyan here it is https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/xAi8Zq/Outer-space-challenge-2
Wait also was it my 2nd better submission or prev@jetnyan
I was able to get it up under a minute wonder if your flying it wrong possibly not saying that “oh I’m right” just can you try a little more maybe?@jetnyan @jetnyan
@dexa your rocket reached halfway in 3 minutes, minus your speed and trajectory, I’d say you reached the goal in 7 minutes. Your speed topped at 31000mph and though the aesthetics were not great, I commend how you designed your rocket so the wings would not blow up from the rapid acceleration, I have been there many times.
@rawhide your rocket reached halfway in 5 minutes, and as your engines slow down as you get higher due to lack of oxygen, I’ll say you reached the goal in 13 minutes. Your speed was 15691, and the design was simple, though I like your use of cockpits up the top.
I think I’ll change one hundred million to ten million
XML is allowed @IzzyIA
Is xml aloud?
Its ok @Rawhide
@Nerfenthusiast ah, i confused feet for miles, my condolences.
Also the moon at its closest point to earth is 1,331,024,640 feet @Rawhide
Also it would take either a mod or a ton of intakes
When is the deadline...
@Nerfenthusiast yes, that is true but i imagine were trying to get about halfway to the moon.
@joshsWorkShop You are in fact wrong, with the right engine i have made it up past a billion feet (it took an unreasonable amount of time though) you can only reach 100000 feet with a normal plane.
Space actually starts at around 330,000 feet
Don’t be stupid there no such thing as one hundred million feet the max height is about 100000 feet or more or if I’m wrong? sorry !
