This craft was made with and for RSS and REO, get the mod-free version here.
Standing at over 100m high, being around 40m wide and weighing roughly 70,000,000kg (70kilotons) on launch, even calling this Godzilla of a rocket a beast would be an understatement.
With its multichamber altitude compensating toroidal aerospike engine and the ability to carry the equivalent weight of around 1,400 Honda civic's to LEO it would not only have been way ahead of its time (first proposal in 1968) but would have also given way to large-scale exploration missions to many places in the solar system (like this).
To launch this badboy you'll need to start in the water or else it will collapse under its own weight. The rocket is equipped with a vizzy script that should get most payloads to orbit, though it might cause problems with really light payloads.
Payload capacity to LEO: ca. 1,800t
Enjoy

I would argue against this being ahead of its time. Sure it is massive, but other projects were getting into its payload capacity as well. Take this:
(http://www.astronautix.com/s/saturnv-4xu.html)This is the result of someone who thunk up the idea of strapping 4 heavily modified Saturn-V boosters together into something that can launch 527 tonnes into a 500km low earth orbit. It’s able to put a little less than a third of the payload you’re able to put into LEO with only a fifth of the total mass.

@Insanity nice, but it would be nice-er if it were bigger. See the last two numbers under dimensions?

@RocketBuilder yeah but have you seen the first two digits of the wet mass?

@KirRu but then it still wouldnt work because you need the heavy ntr's or you wont have enough Dv.

@Insanity no, I mean can you replace modded engines? I can use RSS on android, but I cant use REO

@KirRu as i already explained there it wouldnt make sense to make a vanilla version of the crafts as it was specifically made for RSS and wouldnt serve much purpose in the stock game.

@AstronautPlanes thanks, moar boosters, in this case each of the srbs would have weighed about 7kilotons.

@TopSecret2 interesting, a truely kerbal concept. About the payload to mass ratio, im pretty sure its because most of the mass of the AMLLV is actually just the thicc srbs which have great density and thrust but horrible mass efficiency compared to hydro-/methalox.
