Starshot 1 (allmost fully reusable rocket)

Description
This craft is capable of high performance reusability of the first stage and crew capsule. It took me a long time to figgure out how to get it aerodynamically stable and capable of landing the first stage in the dessert of kerbin. Thus making the first stage perform even better, reaching a speed of 1500 m/s before engine cutoff and stage sepperation.

It is very hard to get the rocket in the optimal inclination so that it has some fuel left when it has a trajectory towards kerbins dessert continent. Aim for the water just in front of the dessert, kerbins rotation will ensure that you land in the dessert instead of the water.

Get to 70 km before sepperation, or the craft will be automatically deleted.
Once sepperated gently push away from the first stage, then fire up to full throttle and get an orbital insertion asap. Once in orbit, switch to the first stage and turn in retrograde. Then open the flaps. Deploy drouge chutes and fire up the engines at 200 meters altitude at full throttle untill the craft is hovering in the air, then decrease throttle and place down your first stage on kerbin. Smile and recover craft for 100,000 creds :D

You will only have one shot at this so do a quicksave before making the atempts to land.

Finaly you will have more than enough fuel to land on minmus or mun and return with your remaining dragon-style craft, use nearly the same procedure with this craft. It has plenty of fuel to do a propulsive landing, but if you plan to use some of it for yourr mission, the drouge chutes will ensure that you have even higher capabillity and don´t have to wait for the usual boring parachute landing that can take more than 2 mins. Land in 30 secs. Instead of 5 mins :D

You can also use the craft to ferry 4 medium sattelites to duna, but you will use 20% more funds for this, because the third stage won´t be reused. However this can bring in more than 1 mil funds from the missions. :D

FLY SAFE!!!

Very impressive!!! Reminds me of the plans SpaceX has for ferrying people intercontinentally via their rockets. I'm even more impressed that its reusablitly and price is enhanced enough for career mode. Keep at it fellow Kerbal engineer!
