Avera9eJoe I have a shuttle which is also a LKO(100km) however to is vertical take-off and it has a bit over half the part count. It needs to be refueled as soon as it reaches LKO however it has a nuke and a great deal of fuel so it has the delta-V to transport anywhere in the solar system. The only disadvantage of it is that it can only carry 1 kerbal, but it could be modified to carry more, tell me if you guys would like to use my shuttle.
