OK, so this is a big post, as I am sharing my space shuttle and 100 ton lifter.
Let's start with the shuttle:

Shuttle in orbit. The rear section containing the Docking Port and deorbit engines is thrown away later.
OMS detail
Retro burn
Bye OMS, enjoy burning up
Good landing.
The shuttle cannot carry cargo but is an effective and reusable crew transport.
The RD-180's have parachutes on them and are recovered. Floats prevent the water from reaching the engines.
Now to the heavy lifter, the Dremios 5-
Dremios 5 with a dummy payload i used for testing, hence the "Demonstration 100 [tons]"
The buisness end. Due to my TERRIBLE flying, I make sure to always have a margin of 1km/s of delta v extra, hence the SRBs.
On the pad.
Engine- start!
LIFTOFF!
Booster sep.
Fairing sep
Adios first stage. The second stage of russian engines ignites.
Final UDMH-NTO powered stage.
here goes the Dummy Payload. You can see the mass of just shy of 100, but it works with a FULL 100 due to my generous margin.
Bye!
