Semi-automatic, liquid-fueled two-stage rocket. I re-saved it under a different name: 'Realistic Two-Stage Rocket' (without the "v1" suffix.) Full directions are included in the new save.

    cctv: I'll try my best. The thing is that I've yet to find a way to have a high fuel flow without exposing the fule tank to the flame and causing an explosion. The design I used has a double layer of PIPE to act as a one-way wall, but sometimes fire gets into the outer layer and slows down the output. Originally, the inlet was only two blocks wide, by I increased it to try and increase the fuel flow. Unfortuantely, since the fire originates from the fule itself it still keep blocking the pipe.

    Sorry, I took the save offline for a while to do some major revisions. I added the switchboard and did some general improvements. I also re-saved it under a new name (see signs and descriptions.)

    Nice, but needs more power. Try a bigger fuel inlet? It doesn't produce much thrust at the moment, the velocity display shows it as quite weak.
