Wouldnt it be easier to float 90% of the way down on a parachute before doing that? Maybe a parafoil could be used if more control were necessary.
There aren't many places that you can land this thing in the area you'd be descending into. If I understand correctly the plan is to fly back to (roughly) the area of the launch pad. If they were launching out of Baikonur the chute might be a workable option.
