day 8: buy fuel #5, 35` ramp, get height + time (same as day 3 but drift down at 15mph)
day 9: buy the 3rd glider, 20` ramp, distance + speed (same as day 7)
day 10: buy ramp height #8 + acceleration #6, 35` ramp, distance + speed (use your rockets immediately and go down a bit to get the speed achievement but don't hit the water)
day 11: buy air resist + fuel #8, 50` ramp, height + time (same as day 3 but drift down at 25mph)
day 12: buy acceleration #8 + the 3rd rocket, distance (4000)
day 13: buy ramp height #10 + fuel #10, WIN (6000)
for the last 2 days, glide at about 2% air resistance and keep your speed between 185mph and 200mph(don't go over), then stay just above the water for as long as you can.
also you don't have to get the speed achievement on the 50` ramp to clear the game.

Holy Shit I did it!! With lots of days of practice, I did get the hard badge. Just followed the guide bellow:
day 1: collect 17$
day 2: buy acceleration #1, get the distance achievement, 55$ (lean forward after first hop to bounce twice)
day 3: buy the glider, get the height + time achievements (go straight up, then lean forward so that you don't go under 5mph (don't stall), then drift down at 10 mph)
day 4: buy acceleration #3, go on the 5` ramp, get the speed achievement
day 5: buy ramp height #4, get height + time (same as day 3)
day 6: buy the rocket + fuel #2, go on the 20` ramp, get height + time (same as day 3)
day 7: buy the 2nd glider + air resistance #5, 10` ramp, distance + speed (for distance, glide just above the water and don't bounce off it or go into the red zone)

upgrade everything. go on the 50 ramp. make your angle 3%. rocket to 175 mph. when you reach 150 mph rocket to 175 again. you'll get the meduim badge then. hope it helps, try and keep this comment alive

To the people saying you can't beat the game in 1 day, it's not that hard. It's actually a pretty easy game. The only thing I haven't gotten so far is the 6000ft badge, and I started playing late last night before I got on Minecraft.

I love this game, and I don't know if it's just because it doesn't feel the same way about me or something but everytime I play it, something dies in the controls and it either boosts and points up without my say so, or points down with the boost without my say so, and I can't do anything about it. So annoying. Please fix it ^-^

For those of you struggling to get the hard badge, I found this day by day walkthrough forum posting from seryan in 2010 to be invaluable. I was able to get the hard badge after about 2 hours:

One way to increase speed and keep going is to do arc's. You get high and start to loose speed then you angle down ward and you'll pickup speed then pull up at the last second and you'll gain a huge speed boost. (this only works after getting the glider)

i actually dont agre with the hard being impossible. I didnt get the hard badje myself, but its the 2nd time im playing, and i managed to complete in 19 days. Every playtrough lasts +- 30min. It would be unfair for the other impossibles to have an impossible badje that can be done in a half hour. Just dont try to complete every achievement of the ramp you are in. As soon as the next ramp is available, do it. You win more money, buy more upgrades, get more money, etc. For the 50 ramp, you need all the achievements, but when you go back, its just too easy (and tough the money from the past achievements is now irrelevent, you still get money from the flight).

Medium achievement - 35' ramp, 2nd rocket, >1/2 of the rocket fuel --- launch and rocket straight up, then dive straight down = 154 mph
