If u download the MechJeb mod u'll see why Jeb seems to always survive in ur crashed.

i Might have a space plane that can do the dive bombing but it's a tad bit tricky to control :/

lol i got one as well but it's much bigger and it be an aircraft but it gets tricky when moving in water though too much thrust will just rip it apart.

Hi i'm a bit new to KSP but i have a few SSTO shuttle designs if you are interested. Unfortunately they are only able to reach orbit of kerbin with some fuel left. so they will require refueling. Also since i'm not used to flying them i used mechjeb on them to fly up into orbit so in theory they should be more fuel efficient. Here's one of my heavier shuttle designs. Also they are designed to glide down a planet with atmosphere so they just need fuel to get up orbit but not much to get back down.

LOL puddle Jumpers are easy enough to make.

And lets not forget a Jaffa that we all love to see (Teal'c)

LOL all that's missing now is the big whoosh of unstable vortex to finish off this replica. Btw anyone fancy making a Kerbal version of the Deadalus battlecruiser?

Ion thrusters have good thrust to weight ration not to mention long duration burn but the problem with it is the amount of thrust is too small you might want to consider using more nuke engine while keeping these ion thrusters as back up when u need to do some minor orbit change. And if fuel is a problem get a docking port and more fuel tanks up front so u can refuel it

Where are the RCS fuel and rcs thrusters for ur space plane?

Here's my own submission to be fair. This is my latest Space plane design.

One guy already submitted his plane http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/24884-0-19-1-Albatroz-Rocket-Plane-SSTO-image-heavy

Hey ALL this is a Challenge to ALL SpacePlane builders to build a space place to reach an orbit of 100KM min and being able to stay there. The rules are You are allowed only rocket engines You can use solid fuel rocket for take off assists but the SFR must be ditched before u reach orbit (36KM). that means NO Jet Engines at ALL. You may design ur craft to have docking port for refueling. It must contain RCS fuel and thrusters as well. The only Mod allowed in this Challenge is MechJeb. But Note You may only add 1 pod from Mech Jeb. When returning to Kerbin u must beable to glide back even when bingo fuel.

True on the part of where it would be more fun to glide back. but there is also the thing it's a plane not a rocket with winglets. so if u try that You'll get disqualified.

Hey ALL this is a Challenge to ALL SpacePlane builders to build a space place to reach an orbit of 100KM min and being able to stay there. The rules are You are allowed only liquid fuel rocket engines. that means NO Jet Engines at ALL. You may design ur craft to have docking port for refueling.
