HOPS is a full reusable heavy lift launch system caipible of launching massive payloads into orbit around droo.

The first stage booster can be reused as long as it has 15% fuel left 10% if your brave.

The second stage can be reused at 20% fuel. It is reccomended that you come in at a smooth long approach pointing arse first when entering the atmosphere. It is also reccomended that you deploy the drag chutes high up in the atmosphere. Also make sure to use the main engines to keep the veichle stable when reentering. Once you have bled of your speed and pointing streight down cut your chutes and do the landing burn.

Difficult to land but can be done once you get used to it.

PS full guide on this may be coming soon.
