I just have a tiny test module done for finding a good flight model. Not much working yet except one thing: The water vaporization cooling of the brakes during a launch abort. Turning 1.2 m³ water into steam in 10 seconds can look pretty interesting.

Now need to create good aerodynamics to finally take-off.
