SCTO (Single Car to Orbit)

Inspired by this thread, I have designed a SSTO rover.

0-70 (thousand meters) in just... a few minutes. Then when you land, why, you can just drive around for a while.

This is actually one of the better SSTO's I've made. It achieves 100k orbit with about 500 D/V to spare, and has plenty of LF for flying around when you come back.

You have to use the landing gear (instead of the wheels) when you take off, since they start to melt at around 60 m/s. However, you could conceivably land on them.
