No clip, kiloton to orbit shuttle. I made it for no real reason, came to my mind as an idea and i popped it out.

It kinda works i guess? Test payload was a bunch of clipped tanks that weighed 1000 tons, for convienience sake. If i recall correctly from the test flight, it had around half of it's fuel in LEO with the payload, pretty cool innit?

Scary heat shields, good thing it's still intact for a few seconds.
I think these ones specifically are so hot because the way they are designed, engines burn them off after some time if you use them for too long.
