Split Decision SSTO + Interplanetary

[trevize1138]

Problem: hauling an SSTO to Laythe means hitching a ride with some nuclear engine array monstrosity.

Solution: Put nukes on your SSTO, decapitate it and throw a bunch of fuel in between.

Well, hauling an SSTO to Laythe isn't that hard depending on the size of the plane in question. I have a simple tug design that can haul an SSTO to Laythe and it only has 2 nuclear engines and 2 fuel tanks.

I've been known to dabble in hyperbole

I haven't had a problem getting an SSTO to Laythe before without a "nuclear engine array monstrosity." I mostly made this as an attempt at simplicity: use a single, multi-purpose engine cluster rather than an SSTO engine cluster that hitches a ride to Laythe on a nuclear engine cluster. The Nukes also help with getting my orbit more circularized with better efficiency than the aerospikes.
