Yes, it can get into LEO and land in one stage without a payload

(though it can get to LEO with around 12% fuel remaining while SSTO-ing without a payload).

See?

I would like to, but I don't have any means of doing so (yet). Plus, I can brag about being on the free version (jk :p).

Here's another shuttle, this one's called the TAS.

It can get around 100t to LEO.

It's very easy to land since it's a tail-sitter and I don't have to worry about balancing the CoM and CoT.

Time for the "other stuff"
I've built a station in low mars orbit, and I'm pretty happy with the result :

During the docking phase, the fuel glitch reared its ugly head and drank all the fuel.

Do we have something in SFS like the deep space kraken? Something that wants to drink, desperately...

You just brought the legendary and terrifying deep space kraken into existence.....

I see, but I was thinking that maybe we should name it something original, since "The Kraken" is already taken by KSP.

You know, I'm secretly happy that the electrical system has been temporarily removed, since I can use the replacement battery texture for details...

Screw that.

I'm building a shuttle in 1.35 and oh boy do I find it difficult to make a good-looking front section, since 1.35 only offers the simple nose cones, and BP is very limited/unusable. I'm making the shape with the clip-parts-using-timewarp-and-docking-ports method. It's still looking quite wierd, I'll try to clean it up a bit.

1.35 is great and all, but holy moly does it have some wierd querks.
