KerbalX

ICBM (Industrial-scale Cooking, Baking Machine) facilities are reinforced structures holding massive bakery equipment for mass-production of fine pastry. Hundreds of them are constructed by big food companies around Kerbin, usually hidden in remote locations and largely buried underground in order to avoid commercial espionage.

The visible large baking pan is heated with special high-grade fuel mixture stored in massive underground fuel canisters. They get replaced when fuel runs out, but before that, these canisters will launch themselves out of the facility and out of atmosphere, completely burning out during reentry - another unique design for maximal secret-keeping.
Most Kerbals find the claims by peace organizations ridiculous, that such facilities are capable of delivering destructive weaponary. Many believe that those protesters trying to break into the sites are in fact hired by small food companies or bakery shops.

Design Notes

• This is my first satisfying craft to include a working bearing. (The actually first one was a failed VTOL.) It was fun to build and gave me some valuable experience with bearing designing.
• Comes with a…fuel canister to play with. Its root part is the first stage tank.
• To use: Stage once, engage SAS, then hold E to open the…baking pan. Hold Q to close it. Be gentle!
• Launch scenes were taken with Vessel Mover and various Alt+F12 cheats.
• I did a little bit study on american and russian ICBM silos and got pretty fascinated. I have the idea to make a full launch complex model, but I find it pity to be unable to bury it underground, so such a model might look weird.
• Sorry, I have to use DLC parts for this one to achieve the look I want.

Wish you enjoy and happy…baking!
