Reusable Rocket SSTO B (stock)

Description
(There are 2 Rockets, please also check the other one)

Big one is Type B, used as a cargo ship, it can take at least 40t payload to 100km orbit.
Smaller one is Type A, half the weight of Type B, mainly as a manned ship, but you can also mod it to a cargo ship yourself.

I built a lot of plane SSTO before, but finally made two Rocket SSTOs. They are quicker into Orbit and easier to use, especially if you add MechJeb on the vessel.

Instructions:

Launch it!!!
Turn about 10 degrees at once and maintain a small AoA.
Begin to reduce the throttle at about 15000~20000m.
...... and successful into orbit.

Leave about 2000~3000 and 1000~2000 liquid fuel for Type B and A for your return trip. Fully use atmosphere to brake and don't worry about overheat. Open your parachute and fire your rocket again to reduce the speed under 9m/s when touch down.
