Hey Matt, you should make a Duna cycler. A space station in an orbit that intercepts Duna and Kerbin. Won't save any delta v, but what it allows you to do is dock with the cycler along the journey and use it as a more spacious habitat, an interplanetary cruise ship if you will. Look up the concept its really interesting.

A rocket much like this became my favourite when I was a kid reading space promotional books. I can't remember whether it was meant to be a Mars orbital shuttle or an Earth suborbital vehicle. The latter would be a passenger vehicle which, by going suborbital, could get from A to B faster than Concorde. But I think the latter was a more circular vehicle. Anyway, this rocket places this video solidly amongst my favourites. :)
