Yet another shuttle rip-off

Recommended Posts

I've never had good luck with winged re-entry, but this little shuttle is coming along really nicely.  It lifts up to 22 ton payload to 100km (barely, and only if flown very carefully) and can bring down 11 tons.  This performance is very close to the real space shuttle, which was quite a lot larger than the Kerbal one.. By my math, my shuttle is about 60% the size of a real one.

It will comfortably throw 11 tons into orbit and if done well, it has enough Dv onboard to go on to anywhere in Kerbin's SOI (although might not come back).  Anyhow, I'm pretty proud of it.  Pardon the audio drop out during the fast forwarded bits...
