Launch like normal, but by the time your altitude is 25km and your apoapsis is at least 50km, pitch over to 3-5 degrees. You should run out of fuel by when you get to 100-200km apoapsis. Then, activate the next 2 stages. Time warp to 30 seconds to apoapsis and circularize like normal using the rcs. Then you can deorbit, being careful not to let the legs blow up. Use the rcs again to land. The legs should absorb the shock of landing, although they might blow up, which is okay. This is for Tweedle_Aerospace’s challenge. I did not cheat, but I do not think it was intended to use rcs that way.

@Tweedle_Aerospace thanks! I did not know a way to circularize or do a soft landing without throttle, so I used rcs to replace engines.

That was pretty cool! Very fun too. That was extremely creative and you did it exactly how I wanted the challenge was meant to be done! No cheating either!
