Reusability challenge

Hello,

Apparently you used parachutes to land your first stage. In this case you have to be able to replace them. Can you show how you proceed?
You don't have to redo everything, just showing that part will be fine.
Also be careful to the coherency of your screenshots, your first screenshots show a second stage powered by two Frontier engines then you have a Titan instead

Oh crap I forgot I changed that for my later missions, that was a ss of a test flight, my bad! Also how would you like me to show how I launched the 2nd time? (I believe that I have the 2nd orbit and landing in the ss)

Wait do you have to replace them? Could I just have bunch of parachutes and only use some for each landing?

No, sorry. The idea is that the same rocket can be flown as many times as suited after the consumables have been replaced. We only ask to fly it twice to demonstrate the reusability concept, but it must theoretically be able to fly again after that.

I have a quicksave of the flight but it is after I redocked everything (my second stage is reentering), would it be ok if I simply showed how I did it on the launch pad? If not that’s fine I can just redo it.

You can use no parachutes at all, so no replacement is needed. It will just cost a little more fuel to make landing without parachute.

Heat shields will cover for most of the speed during descent and only a little burning near the surface needed.

This is fine yes, make things simple for you
