This is obviously a heavily-modded version of KSP. What's the point in over-speeding so badly on your initial ascent? I LOL'ed at the end, but hey, "any landing you walk away from is a good landing". Lord knows I have done much worse, many many times.
It was the first test I was doing, and I wasn’t sure if the cutlass engines (basically bigger rapiers) would have enough deltaV in closed cycle, so I was trying to get enough speed built in the atmosphere to make the insertion burn cheaper fuel-wise, since that lithium engine has a really, really, really bad TWR since it’s meant for interplanetary burns and stuff
