Let's just pretend the V2 ship design never happened.

Hopefully the ground infrastructure isn't too damaged.

Honestly, if they just scrapped the ship, the booster would still be a brilliant win. Slap a normal second stage and payload fairing on that and you’ve got a rocket to pretty much anywhere.
