Thor Mk2 Orbiter

After many many and some more many failures, and many dead kerbals I finally managed to build a successful reusable orbiter. The Thor Mk2. The Mk1 even after successful atmospheric test proved to be a dismal failure. When back to the drawing board, and thus the Thor Mk2 Orbiter was born. Slightly larger than the Mk1, and with double the wing span is proved to be much more stable on reentry.

Here it is the Thor Mk2 Orbiter utilizing B9 Aerospace, and KW Rocketry

I would later change the staging to not fire the middle engine till the two large 3.5m tanks had been decoupled. Final testing would reveal that not only is the Mk2 easily capable of Kerbin orbit... I can make it to the Mun and back legitimately :0.0:
