My heaviest craft so far. Originally designed in KSP 1.3.

Update to version 1.10:
-checked if everything was autostruted to Grandparent
-tilted te entire craft less 0.45 degree
-reviewed the flight profile.

FLIGHT PROFILE

(wait 5s after loading. Physics load cause a small oscilation that may ruin the launch. Suggestion:turn on SAS and wait until the yaw/pitch/rollindicator stop to move, if it takes more than a few secounds turn SAS off and on again)
Launch with SAS on, precision controls mode, Throttle 100%, Orbit information display visible.
At 42m/s SAS Prograde hold, time to apoapsis will increase slowly
Stage when side boosters run out of fuel.
Time to apoapsis will start to decrase slowly.
When apoapsis reaches 70km, time to apoapsis will start to raise again.
CIRCULARIZATION-PRECISE
Reduce the throttle, keeping the apoapsis 35-45s away until the mammoth stage will run out of fuel.
Stage and finish circularization.
CIRCULARIZATION-LAZY
Mammoth stage will put apoapsis at 77km before running out of fuel.
Stage 15s before apoapsis, cut engines just aftercircularization.

As seen in the picture 6x Kerbodyne S3-14400 plus a MK3 to 3,75m Adapter (444t of LFO) in a 74km x 74km orbit (not seem in the picture: ‘piloting’ consist of just 5 keytrokes/clicks (with lazy circularization)

A stock rocket called Krakatoa. Built with 88 of the finest parts, its root part is Size3AdvancedEngine.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.10.0.
