Is there an advantage to using a lifting body rather than just a capsule with the thermal protection only on the bottom?
There might be an advantage to return upper or lower stages for reuse since the roughly cylindrical shape of this design, or of the similar Japanese HYFLEX, could be used to return stages of a launcher for reuse.
