Reusable Rocket SSTO A+ (stock)

Description
This is a two stage version of SSTO A. You can send your crews to a higher Orbit with this one.
(need a heavy cargo rocket ssto? check out my SSTO B)

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.

Decouple the upper stage and fly to your station.
Return and dock back to the first stage before reentry.

Leave about 1000~2000 liquid fuel for your return trip. Reentry backwards like a pod. 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.
