You could really improve your payload mass margin by using aerobraking to match velocity with the Earth, but you would need a shielding device of some kind to protect you from the heat. That would weigh a lot less than the propellant you'd need to use, otherwise.

I've never kept score at all... I read for enjoyment and to learn.

If somebody asked me if I'd read a book I abandoned, I'd tell them why I didn't finish it. If they want to consider me as having read it or not read it, that's up to them.
