Auto-LaunchRocket with Cargo into space

Description
This script is used in my Orbit-Shuttle/Rocket:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2777162900

What it does:
- Bring Rocket with attached cargo to space
- Disconnect cargo in space
- return to planet

To use it on your own craft, you need the following blocks, defined in the top of the script:

RemoteControl
Cockpit
LiftingThrustGroup
LandingThrustGroup
MergeBlocksGroup
ParachutesGroup

Also you can define the Launch-Speed of the Rocket in this Line:
double launchSpeedFactor = 1.0f;

Default Launch Speed is: [actual gravity in g] * 400 * [This Factor]
1.0 is slow, but the container reaches space relatively slow with ~25m/s and the container brings itself to a halt in 4km distance to the target.
With 1.2 it's more around 15km distance, but the launch itself is much faster.
