So, yeah. While testing video capture software, I decided to do the challenge in the worst way possible; with just SRBs and space tape. According to Kerbal Engineer, this thing burned about 8300 dV.

If you plonk 5 medium-boosters on top of eachother this works too, without a pod. Not sure how much extra the pod would require.

How do you control it without a pod?

A remote-control ring or 'ball'.
