To put things into perspective...

This is 1900 miles. Meaning from Boston, Paul can strike targets anywhere in the circle, and from anywhere within the circle's edges, he can strike targets in Boston. The third image is a somewhat accurate representation of the missile's proportions.

Payload Delivery System Specs:

Gross Mass: 300 kg
Payload: 25 kg
Height: 6 meters (2 meters per stage)
Diameter: 25 cm
Launch and First Stage Boost
The first stage is a high-thrust booster designed to get the rocket off the launch rail and through the densest part of the atmosphere quickly.
- Thrust: 220,000 N
- Burn Time: 0.6 seconds
- Initial Mass: 300 kg
- Final Mass: 230 kg (after burning 70 kg of propellant)
Second Stage Burn
The second stage ignites moments after the first stage separates, continuing the rocket's rapid ascent.
- Thrust: 220,000 N
- Burn Time: 0.6 seconds
- Initial Mass: 200 kg
- Final Mass: 130 kg (after burning another 70 kg of propellant)
Third Stage Sustainer Phase
The third and final stage is the sustainer, designed for long-duration burn at high altitude.
- Thrust: 7,000 N
- Burn Time: 45 seconds
- Initial Mass: 100 kg
- Final Mass: 40 kg (after burning 60 kg of propellant)
Propulsion: 2x "O" Class Boosters, 1x "P" Class Sustainer
