"I still like Burt Rutan's group design - Spaceship One. Simplistic and already got to space."
Me too. Wings are old school, but they work great when the engine quits. This thing looks like a gum drop and if something goes wrong I can see it screwing itself into the center of the earth in no time.
That's what parachutes are for.
BTW, wings don't always ensure a safe landing. Just ask the Columbia shuttle crew. Oh wait you can't - because they are all dead!!!
