My insane idea to build a fully (and truly) reusable Saturn V

No it's not gonna be in RSS, I'm not that crazy. It will only be the cargo version because I want to perfect it before putting kerbals on it.

My self imposed rules:

- All stages have to land propulsively

- Has to be automated (via kOS)

- Has to be able to be reflown at least once (only has to be recovered once - but twice is preferable)

- Has to be landed within a sane distance from the KSC (No splashdowns)

- No cheats

The part mods I will be using (Don't worry not a lot):

- Restock/Restock+ (For Saturn V parts)

- Kerbal Reusability Expansion (Landing Legs and Gridfins)

- Station Science (Used for payloads - possibly a Skylab analog) 

- Docking camera (KURS) 

- Nebula camera

- Hullcam VDS

The visual mods I will be using:

- EVE Redux

- WaterfallRestock

- Parallax (Once I get it to unbreak lol)

I will also be using Kerbal Konstructs for landing pads for stages

Check this thread for updates about the project.

The point of this thread is to keep me from ignoring this project so I actually work on it without forgetting. I'm currently working on the 1st stage.
