40 hours into my first RP-1 save, and finally sent a kerbal to orbit! (August 1963)

The mission was completed with the Minuano launch vehicle, with 2x LR87s on the first stage, and a LR91 at the second stage. Pretty much the same engines as the Titan II rockets that were used on the Gemini program.

I may have lost the race to the first man in space, but i'm still confident i can send a kerbal to the moon before the americans, though i may have to take some more risks from now on...
