A pretty quick recreation of SpaceX's first ever rocket, the Falcon 1! Fully equipped with an auto-launch script and a demo satellite (easily removable if you'd rather put your own payload in the fairing), and my best efforts to replicate the original Merlin 1 and the Kestral upper stage engines!

By FAR the hardest part of this was actually forcing it to orbit, it doesn't have a whole lot of flexibility. I can guarantee it'll get any payload below 500 kilograms to orbit, but beyond that I make zero promises.

The original Falcon 1 could only launch 420 kilograms, anyway, so I think it's fairly faithful, at least.
