Wrong. Shuttle RTLS aborts were not "violent". They were just "stressful" for the stack during the flip maneuver.RTLS was benign for the tile. Less heat load and no different q than a normal missionNo. Too much mass. Ruins mass fraction. No current launch vehicle has tanks separate from outer skin, Propellant lines on the exterior doesn't mean more flexible and it doesn't mean interior ones aren't flexible.Unsupported claim and wrong.Stage-and-a-half flight profiles don't aid in reusability.Your priorities are wrong.Cost is the most important parameter and every trade is done to lower it. Absolute ISP isn't important as cost of ISP. Reusability is a must.
