A low-part count, core-alone launch vehicle inspired by the ORANGES KSP part mod. The hydrogen booster is well known for lacking a core stage deorbit mechanism, singlehandedly fuelling countless crash site betting games when they begin to decay.

This is the first craft I made this year, and I figured it held up well enough to share it with you all for the holiday season. Throttle down the core while the SRB are lit and fly a steep initial trajectory to avoid "adverse reactions" from the vehicle.
