  • @kieranjordan2655

    Matt there is a mod called flight manager for reusable stages (fmrs) you launch rockets or plane launched rockets the same, once the mission is complete it allows you to revert time back to when the craft separated so you can land the 1st stage, unlike simply quicksaving it saves both ships to the save file so you can control them effectively at the same time. I didn't do a good job explaining it but it's a really cool mod that allows you to perfectly recreate these types of missions and space X style recovery while the craft are still in the atmosphere
