In this video I am going to investigate the optimal take off in KSP version 1.0 or 1.02, now that the souposphere has been changed to a completely new aerodynamic model.

If you would like to see the result of this investigation, skip to the last part of the video to get the idea what would be the optimal take off for almost any rocket.
