Using an existing advanced reusable space transport design concept as a point of departure in the quest for new enabling, or at least expanded first-order mission-enhancing design features, two divergent ``what if'' approaches of inquiry are employed. The first is to greatly expand the vehicle service arena well beyond just Earth-to-LEO operations. An expansive ``trimarket'' purview is examined: orbital, transglobal and cislunar transportation service. The second examines the implications to design of the mission-abandonment subset of post launch-commit possibilities. A hierarchy of characteristic loss categories results, one providing a number of focused targets for remedial design choices. Several insightful design-choice findings arise from each of these two quick-look assessments. An example is vertical landing capability, which, while originally stipulated for the selected vehicle concept, is shown to also be a leading design choice as invoked by both of the special inquiries described here.
