Reusable rocket

#1
Hello. This is a spaceX style rocket where the booster stage lands. It gets into leo. The main module is an afterthought, not optimized at all, but I've had some fun with it

INSTRUCTIONS
1: Raise apoapsis to around 50km (DO NOT TURN IF YOU WANT THE ROCKET BACK AT THE LAUNCH PAD)
2: Detach booster, fire both engines on 2nd Stage.
3: Burn sideways until you see the booster stage enter the atmosphere
4: Switch to the booster stage, start a suicide burn at 1km, extend landing legs, and if you slowed it down enough, you are hopefully not dead!
5: Switch to 2nd stage, burn prograde if you have not yet passed your apoapsis, if you have passed it, stay calm, and burn at a 60° angle.
6: bruh hope ur not dead

Soooooo it's only re-useable if it's on the second least efficient launch profile imaginable?

TMSP, have you tried aiming for a pretend "barge" away from the launch pad? That could make your rocket able to carry more.

What's the first?

oh so i cant use it
Nope. And your game works differently as well, the sun has different gravity, the engines aren't as good, the fuel tanks have less capacity per sq/m. Even if you copied a screen shot, it wouldn't work the same on pc 1.35 as it does on 1.4.06 on a device.

And no, 1.4 doesn't exist on pc unless you use an android emulator.
