im sorry, but you interpreted the title wrong. i said 100% reusable ROCKET not spaceplane. however, that is a good entry for the K-Prize. and it looks epic!

There is no point to this competition, rockets are even easier to SSTO to the Mun and back than space planes.

He could move his file over to the VAB and launch it vertically if he wanted. BAM rocket.
