Is this an SSTO to everywhere or not?

I think it's safe to say you are closer to an SSTE than anyone has gotten before

Keep the title

Well, if you want to get technical, the vessel was split before landing on Eve, so if Eve is included in the definition, it still doesn't qualify as an SSTA unless it can at least land there in one piece(which I'm guessing this vessel probably is capable of at least, but hasn't been demonstrated yet).  On the other hand, most of the time Eve DOES seem to be excluded from this and being able to return from Eve at all is extremely impressive, let alone doing so with a fully reusable vessel that can go everywhere else as well.

Whatever you want to call it, that is a really nice design there.

Thanks!

Yes it can land on Eve in one piece, but then it will be stranded there.

That's true.  There are so many videos which say "to everywhere" in the title, and then you have to read "except for ... and ... and..." in the description.
