I have been doing some research on optimal openings for RO and I think the best move is a large diameter sounding rocket(V2 type). You delay your first launch by 4 months launching in June 51 but you can hit first launch, karman line, suborbital return, first film, and pretty much any sounding rocket contract with that rocket.

Whereas with a small sounding rocket(Meteor/Aerobee) you get more launches in the first year but you can only really achieve first launch and karman line.

Anyone have other ideas?
