I have wondered if a 2 stage double DC-X type might be able to launch from Texas and land the first stage in Florida, but I think that's decidedly too long a hop for even a long-throw first stage. I'd like to see some calculations. A DC-X type first stage could do a partially fueled reverse hop from a downrange landing site to get back to it's primary launch site.
