@HorizonsTechnologies Remember to credit these people:
- GoldenShadowGS for his impact position calculator.
- Staticalliam7 for his suicide burn.
- Me for some of the other stuff.

@NeoStarAerospace Yes. That’s what I was planning. I made a separate one. Give me a second.

@HorizonsTechnologies Huh. Well, here's my suggestion: Keep this version and post it, and improve it in another version.

@NeoStarAerospace The second stage uses Hydrolox, which is more efficient, but needs larger fuel tanks. If I were to change to kerolox maybe we could shorten the size.

@NeoStarAerospace But I noticed a big flaw that I can fix, making the second stage smaller

@HorizonsTechnologies Nah, I think the current one works best. It's because you need more fuel for larger payloads if you want a more powerful vacuum engine. If you want less fuel on a 2nd stage, you would have to make the engine more efficient. This, however, makes the engine less powerful, which means it can't get itself into a longer orbit period in time for the booster to land.

@NeoStarAerospace What if you just shortened the stage to make it less long, then tune the nozzle throat size to where it works for you?

@NeoStarAerospace Yes.
