Sample Up Goers from history or to fit a specific mission profile.
Freedom 7 (Suborbital):
| Module Name | Module Type | Module Mass | Total Mass | Notes |
| A. Shepherd | Spacederp | 1 | x | First American in space |
| Mecury | Capsule | 1+1 | 2 | No duration steps needed |
| Redstone | L. stage | 2 | 4 | 2-stage historically |
No burns necessary
.
Vostok 1 (Single orbit):
| Module Name | Module Type | Module Mass | Total Mass | Notes |
| Y. Gagarin | Spacederp | 1 | x | First human in space |
| 3KA | Capsule | 1+1 | 2 | No duration steps needed (assumed only 1 or 2 orbits) |
| RD-0109 | RCS | 1 | 3 | Needed for deorbit |
| Vostok-K | L. stage | 3 | 6 |
| Vostok-K x2 | L. stage | 6 | 12 | Uses two of the above |
Only RCS deorbiting burn
.
Lighthouse Thrower (Reusable liftoff stage; goes to sync orbit to deploy the waylight)
| Module Name | Module Type | Module Mass | Total Mass | Notes |
| J. Kerman | Spacederp | 1 | x | Thrill Master! |
| Waylight | Payload | 1 | x |
| Rations | Consumable | 1 | x | Mission duration is 3, so needs 1 rations (cutting it close) |
| TinCanSally | Capsule | 3+1 | 4 |
| Bobster | Thruster | 1 | 5 | Does not allow landing anywhere |
| El Tanko | Fuel | 5 | 10 | 4 burns, so 4 fuel is enough but let's carry 1 extra for safety |
| Orbitron | L. stage | 10 | 20 | Nothing special here |
| Trebuchet | L. stage, R | 20+4 | 44 | Fluffed as giant trebuchet; reentry and landing checks can represent mechanical stress etc. |
Dry Mass = 5, Burns needed = 4
Burn 1: 1 6
Burn 2: 1 7
Burn 3: 1 8
Burn 4: 1 9
Total mass 9 - Dry mass 5 = Fuel mass 4
.
Smallest Possible Direct Ascent Lunar Lander (Prove me wrong!)
| Module Name | Module Type | Module Mass | Total Mass | Notes |
| Zalpha | Spacederp | 1 | x | Mama be so proud! |
| EVA suit | Payload | 1 | x | For the moon walk |
| Rations | Consumable | 3 | x | Mission duration is 7, so needs 3 rations (cutting it close) |
| Landerp | Capsule | 5+1 | 6 | Direct ascent, so no lunar module |
| SomeFire VI | Thruster | 3 | 9 | Also needs to do a lunar landing, so can't be smaller than 3 for a wt6 capsule |
| ActuallyGin | Fuel | 22 | 31 | needs 9 burns, so 22 |
| LotsOfFire | L. stage | 31 | 62 |
| TooMuchFire | L. stage | 62 | 124 |
Dry Mass = 9, Burns Needed = 9
Burn 1: 1 10
Burn 2: 2 12
Burn 3: 2 14
Burn 4: 2 16
Burn 5: 2 18
Burn 6: 3 21
Burn 7: 3 24
Burn 8: 3 27
Burn 9: 4 31
Total mass 31 - Dry mass 9 = Fuel mass 22

Space Station Fred (Launcher)
| Module Name | Module Type | Module Mass | Total Mass | Notes |
| Fred | Spacederp | 1 | x | All hail Fred! |
| Rations | Consumable | 2 | x | Om nom nom. |
| Recycler | Payload | 1 | x | If Fred is careful, he can stay in space for quite a while, doing experiments or even mapping. |
| EVA | Payload | 1 | x | This will help with docking and construction. |
| Winch | Payload | 1 | x | This will help with docking and construction. |
| Bunny Nest | Habitat | 6+1 | 7 | The habitat holds 9, but is being launched partially emtpy. |
| Rick | Spacederp | 1 | x | Fred's driver. |
| RCS | Consumable | 1 | x | To deorbit Rick's capsule. |
| Buttonbox | Capsule | 2+1 | 10 | This is used to control the Up Goer and returns home immediately after. |
| Orbitron | L. stage | 10 | 20 | Nothing special here |
| Trebuchet | L. stage, R | 20+4 | 44 | Fluffed as giant trebuchet; reentry and landing checks can represent mechanical stress etc. |
This space station goes into low orbit and can be added onto via docking. The command capsule undocks from the rest, and goes home; note how careful choosing of what to carry allows for reuse of existing lower stages. This is what remains in orbit:
