In theory starship will have the delta v to get to LEO and back in a single stage, but the payload would be so small it wouldn’t be worthwhile.

- garmaine 6y agoIncorrect, it couldn’t get back. The landing fuel and reentry structures would make it weigh too much. But as a demo they have considered a one-way orbital SSTO trip that’ll burn up on reentry.
- rbanffy 6y agoA suborbital cross globe flight would also be quite fun, but they'd need to build a landing/launching pad and refueling station.
