Does this look like it could land on Laythe with just chutes, and them make it back to orbit? It has 3 Mk16-XL, 12 Mk2-R, and 9 Mk12-R drogue chutes. Vehicle mass is 18.1T. I plan on using the inflatable heatshield until I can open the chutes. It has 2500/5000 SL/V delta v and 2.48/1.25 vacum/sl TWR (Laythe SL.) http://imgur.com/a/pcq0P There is another Terrier behind the heat shield. The outer tubes are just structural fuselages, they get chucked on take off.

Allright lads - I'm in the midst of preparing a Laythe landing (and as a consequence been preparing a Laythe landing vehicle). With time and patience I've finally managed to create an SSTO, both capable of flying into Kerbin/Laythe's atmosphere and out. Been tested so far on Kerbin - able to get into a circular orbit of around 70-80km it seems, with enough fuel to return to Kerbin (or reach the orbital vehicle/refueling station, depending on need). Here's a pic or two =) Try not to land on water - guarantees appear to be voided in that case....
