First off, love all the shuttle concepts and a great idea for a challenge! Few people said I should post my shuttle here so here we go. My space shuttle, the Kerbol Klipper, is designed with the Lockheed Martin Shuttle Concept, the Star Clipper, in mind, with some kerbal flare and a little re-engineering. The Kerbal Space Transportation System (KSTS) is capable of lifting 34 tons into LKO in non-recovery mode and 14 tons to LKO on recovery mode. My shuttle has recovery and non-recovery modes? No, the external tank does, though! The delta shaped external tank has a recovery variant that allows complete remote piloting of the stack down to a nice easy landing (on a good day) on the water as the Shuttle cruises to its apoapsis. This shuttle is completely stock and 100% reusable, external tank and all. I hope you enjoy and keep up the science! Here is the album for all the KSTS pictures:
