This was going to be my entry to Wanderfound's contest, but I didn't have time to really play. So instead, just get it here.

This all-stock space-plane features:

- Seatbelts for 4 Kerbals.

- Lab space for 2 more Kerbals to do science.

- All the science bits.

- Electric wheels for flat-ground roving purposes.

- Almost fully reusable, albeit in three parts.

- Flameout-resilient.

- The core spacecraft has nearly 3 km/s vacuum deltaV. The jet pods on the wings can be reused.

- Tech required: High Altitude Flight, Unmanned Tech, Advanced Science Tech, Field Science, Advanced Science Tech.

- Only High Altitude is really required; the rest you can do without, though you lose some functionality.

With the lab, you can store up to 80 science samples, and you can refresh the goo and materials.

I've flown this to Mun and Minmus. The original destination was Laythe; for that, I need to hit the right window, and I'd need to leave with exactly the right amount of jet fuel.
