SSTO - 04 "Salmon"

The "Salmon" as the pilots like to call it, is an SSTO created by the billionaire Charles Kerman in order to reach his private space station, which is still being worked on. While the original version had a luxurious interior that spanned the entire length of the craft, the utilitarian version used by Twinky Industries has been stripped down to allow for a cargo bay, and still have room to transport 5 Kerbals into orbit comfortably. Docking systems are in place, however, no RCS has been added yet oddly enough.

Flight profile: The Salmon is a rather hard little guy to get into space, usually wheezing it's way into orbit. However, with careful handling, you (might) have enough fuel to come home! Keep the prograde marker as high as you can until around 5KM, and then make lower it so that you're always gaining reasonably amounts of speed. Switch from airbreathing to rocket engines at around 25KM, and voila, you're in space! I assume you know how to orbit.

Twinky industries has begun work on the Vertisprey, a new vertical-takeoff landing transport!

(This thing is obviously based off of the Vertibird)
