STS-1a certification attempt with runway landing This is the first time I've done a ksp challenge after building by myself for a long time. I decided to make a simple shuttle, I do have a bigger one in RnD though. I have installed KOS {not used}, FAR continued, EasyVesselSwitch {not used}, Analog control continued {somehow not used} (also module manager and modular flight integrator as dependencies). The mission starts off pretty normal, the shuttle has 1 kerbal in it. The boosters you see on the sides are retained for only a little part of the flight, they're there to make 100% sure I can't fail. After I jettison them I start turning the craft over.I circularized into a nice low kerbin orbit.For my return I chose to do a nice shallow approach to the ksc. It took a couple tries to get the return right and I still ended up flipping my shuttle for a part of the reentry. (Photos might not be from final reentry attempt) I still ended up being short so I had to burn all of my maneuvering fuel to reach the runway. Also, I came in a little wonky and had to do hard corrections before I flew off the edge of the runway. I only made it down safely because I had drogue parachutes that saved me. Landed with just a bit of runway to spare.

Hey! Beginner question here, I recently made my first custom part for ksp, an engine. While making the .cfg I noticed a field called "ratio" in the propellant section. Only answer I've found on google is from the documentation wiki which says it notes how much of a resource is used in 1s. Although, all engine .cfgs I've seen use 0.9 for the fuel and 1.1 for the oxidizer. So, what does that line do and how is it correlated to the overall workings of the part?

I never flew to any other planet without cheats... I fail every time I try to dock. I haven't event went to Minimus. (I'm curently working on it) Once I stranded 3 kerbals on mun, then I crashed the recovery vessel, so I had 6 stranded kerbals. But now luckly I'm working to corect my mistakes and become a PRO...
