Simple hydrogen rocket

Description
Simple and very efficient hydrogen rocket intended mostly as example for using my automatic hydrogen thruster override script that conserves fuel.

To initiate liftoff turn run the program ('5'). It will turn off override after reaching orbit. Decrease override under '6' is there only as indicator, there is no need to use it. Pressing '2' immediately aborts the liftoff procedure.

Other than that it is a very basic, survival ready design:
- Single large container for loads of cargo. Can easily lift 300t times inventory size multiplier into orbit from Earth.
- Dry mass of 67t.
- Oxygen generator conveyed to cockpit (turned off so it doesn't burn all the ice to replenish hydrogen).
- Connector for loading it up with cargo and fuel on surface.
- Programming block and timer used by aforementioned script.
- One small reactor.

None of your scripts have worked for me yet. The screen says outside of gravity well, and check code program first run is always messed up

@Acewind: I've updated the script to fix the issue introduced by game update.

I have the same issue. I am just going to manually override the thrusters.

Not sure if this is still monitored or not but i thought id leave a message in regards to the script, As of the latest update its generating an error that:

'IMyBlockGroup' does not contain a definition for 'Blocks' and no extentionmethod 'Blocks' accepting a first argument of type 'IMyBlockGroup' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I've fixed it now.

For some reason I managed to upload a version which had the timer already on previously.

Am I missing something? I added your blueprint. pasted it into my game and the ship immediately blast off. It's quite comical, but I would really like to check it out.
