[Stock craft] Durpishly simple SSTO rocket!

So yeah. I put this together:

I don't think something this simple and small requires a craft file or anything.. it just used the new multi-mode engines added in 0.23.0. No liquidfuel-only tanks because stock doesn't really have any that are small enough for this kind of short-term use, so it's just 1 normal-size and 1 double-size rocket fuel tank, 2 RAPIER engines, 6 air intakes and a command pod.

It even has enough fuel left, and surprisingly also gets enough intakeair (despite the intakes being turned in the wrong direction for that), to turn on air-breathing mode again when it gets back into atmosphere. I managed to slow it down land it in the water:

In other words, the new KSP has made SSTO surprisingly easy for stock rockets.
