Hmmm... maybe some of these booster motors:

I have no idea what makes it green, but some engineer must have had fun comparing the benefits: "This propellant has more thrust, but this one has more burntime and looks badass!"
Good, good. And while I'm at it, electronics, woodworking, sheet metal, blacksmithing, and whitesmithing equipment. And then invite the local maker community into The Best Hackerspace EVER!I would start by building my dream workshop. I would buy some old workshop and transform it into my rocket construction HQ. It would have Lathes, drills, CNC machines, saws of all kinds, a resin infusion system, Shop presses, small tools, cranes. I would also stock up on epoxy, fiberglass, carbon fiber, kevlar etc.

I'm surprised nobody has said it...
Make a rocket SO BIG I can ride in it. Big enough to break the sound barrier. If it goes CATO, I've died happily
You could also make a capsule that ejects from the payload bay at deployment and comes down under a seperate parachute....I have thought of this many times. Something huge with an O motor. Ride in the payload bay, single deployment. If only it weren't illegal (and stupid!).
Of course, if you're standing up while ascending, you're upside down while descending. Probably not a comfortable landing even at 15 fps. :wink:
