I guess it wasn't that important if he didn't notice.:p

Time for the jovian mission
I'm gonna use Shitty Shuttle B3 on this mission
Screenshot_20220421-213709_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

As all 42 Titan engines fire up, they put out nearly 17 kilotons of thrust to lift shitty shuttle off the ground, thankfully the launch pad is well built and can take all the thrust hitting off it.

And we climb high into the atmosphere
Screenshot_20220421-213847_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And soon reach orbit
Screenshot_20220421-213942_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

We can use the remaining fuel in the booster to help escape Earth's soi, before ditching it

We can now use the shitty Shuttle to escape Earth's soi
Screenshot_20220421-214059_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

We then use the remaining fuel in the shitty shuttle to fling ourselves onto an intercept course with Jupiter

Screenshot_20220421-214230_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

Now with the fuel supply in the shitty shuttle exhausted, we can ditch it and use the high efficiency stage we packed for the trip
Screenshot_20220421-214348_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

Bye shitty shuttle, we then use the high efficiency stage to adjust our intercept trajectory
Screenshot_20220421-214436_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

We then do an retrograde burn to get into orbit of Jupiter
Screenshot_20220421-214609_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg
Screenshot_20220421-214705_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

Next, we set an encounter for callisto
Screenshot_20220421-214827_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

Screenshot_20220421-215036_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

Once we've arrived we, get into callisto orbit, and then detach out lander
Screenshot_20220422-114801_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

We can then do a landing an Callisto
Screenshot_20220422-115120_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg
that landing was pretty good for my first Callisto landing, now we need to get home

We fire up the single Valiant engine and get back into orbit
Screenshot_20220422-115207_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

We then rendezvous with the high efficiency stage
Screenshot_20220422-115436_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg
Screenshot_20220422-115557_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg
After transferring the fuel from the lander stage (orange bit) into the crew capsule and the high efficiency stage, we can leave Callisto's orbit

Screenshot_20220422-115650_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And set an encounter for earth
Screenshot_20220422-115733_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg
Screenshot_20220422-115932_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And we're head back to earth
Screenshot_20220422-120134_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

We then use the remaining fuel in the high efficiency stage to slow down
Screenshot_20220422-120157_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

After using up the high efficiency stage's fuel to slow down we can jettison it, and use the crew capsule service module to slow down even more
Screenshot_20220422-120301_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And once the service module is out of fuel we can jettison it too,
Screenshot_20220422-121259_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And we fly into Earth's atmosphere while going 3 kilometres per second, causing a firey re entery
Screenshot_20220422-121336_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

We quickly slow down thanks to drag, and make a safe landing on earth

And here's the achievements list

You ditched the shuttle?
That's... SCANDALOUS!!
I'm appalled!

I am afraid that this does not qualify due to the use of "no engine heat". :confused:
But it was a very impressive mission, and I'm sure you'll be able to smash it with a legit booster.

Pro tip: analyse how much fuel you had remaining when you returned to Earth:
Aside from a small margin quantity, this fuel is useless.
If you reduce your fuel tanks by this amount, your top stages will be lighter, and your middle stage can be lighter, and your shuttle and booster can be smaller if it makes things easier.
It's an upward spiral!

Did the launch 600 tonnes to orbit mission
Screenshot_20220601-095233_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

Ok fine, it's 612 tonnes
Screenshot_20220521-225233_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

This is the rocket, its called the little rocket that could
Screenshot_20220601-095358_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And we lift off
Screenshot_20220601-095407_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And then fire up all engines
Screenshot_20220601-095704_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And we climb high into the atmosphere
Screenshot_20220601-095713_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

Ditch the first stage
Screenshot_20220601-095750_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And begin hoping the second stage does its job
Screenshot_20220601-095810_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

It slowly climbs in to orbit
Screenshot_20220601-095816_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

And bam, 612 tonnes into orbit

Looks like you did it the hard way, congrats.:)
Swinging straight to 20 degrees after lift-off is.... different.:p

it even drives, albeit slower than the real thing
