As soon as I start getting Mun contracts, I build a Mun Transfer Ship. 

The ship is tasked of getting supplies and kerbals to the mun, later it will refuel at the mun station once fuel production has started, but until then it is refuelled in kerbin orbit by a 100% recoverable fuel truck / crew rotation véhicule. 

Once the science has run out on mun / minmus I have unlocked all of the tech tree and then start building the Duna explorer. I've built 7 in orbit, not one has actually started the burn to duna. In all my time playing only one probe ever got to duna, and it was missing a part to complete the contract.

Poll is missing an option. Partial reuse.

There's a lot I recover or reuse, and a lot I don't.

now that I've unlocked the docking port senior, I'll be doing a lot more reusable interplanetary stages. First stages(and solids) are recovered with stage recovery mod. Upper stages, landers, and low mass interplanetary probes are not recovered.

I'm playing on hard, with lifesupport, so funds are at an extreme premium, and full reusability just isn't economically feasible yet (maybe ever)
