Soyuz Rocket Launch

How much of the Soyuz rocket is re-useable apart from the capsule?

Could they make the Soyuz Rocket into a reusable rocket cargo plane? They could add another equal set of engines on the front of the rocket to slow it down when it lands, as well as some wings. It could also possibly hover and land vertically like the lunar lander or land / glide horizontally like the space shuttle.

This would make cross country flights faster and be a way to reuse the rocket and engines more times.

And if they decide to build a rocket cargo plane, could it be named after me?

Thank you. I captured it with a very small Nikon camera. Fortunately, we're very close to the pad for liftoff!
