Granted, it carried five Kerbals though... Great job as usual, I believe this is a world record!

Make 2 stages, put 2-4 solid boosters on the bottom and the swivel engine. Make the top stage with only 1 fuel tank and the most efficient engine you have. Lastly, when coming back only peek into the atmosphere, and make sure your craft is as small as possible. Good luck!

Here's an idea: A tilt wing/tilt engine design. But not just ANY tilt design, I'm talking something that can be used as a fighter for space combat. (I'm thinking a single pod with ion engines at the rear for long range missions, two large engines mounted to the sides, two smaller engines mounted to the big ones, and then wings that fit between the smaller engines.) (So basically the ARC 170 from Star Wars if it was a tiltwing and had the X-Wing engines.) (Bonus points if you make the wings unfold like the ARC 170.)
