While the Magpie set new records for range and endurance it didn't quite have what it takes to get the Cupcake seal of approval and consequently won't be released. The Barracuda meanwhile is shaping up nicely, building on the already impressive performance of its predecessor, while at the same time adding a greater fuel load, reduced excess weight, vastly improved handling and a higher service ceiling. A new construction technique unique to the Barracuda ensures a reduced part count, and a rugged chassis that is tough enough not to need any struts at all! Like the Magpie the Barracuda is capable of taking off from Kerbin, landing on Minmus, landing on the Mun then returning back to Kerbin for a powered landing! You can also take a one way trip to Duna where the Barracuda has more then enough fuel to put you gently down on the martian surface.

I should point out that the Barracuda isn't designed as a utility drop ship, (though it took to the role quite nicely). I just felt if I did another mini grand tour of Minmus, the Mun and back I'd just be repeating myself. Anyway enjoy the video, the music comes courtesy of the Isle Of Wights finest musical export, I'm referring of course to The Bees!
