Much knashing of teeth and unhappiness happened last night. I loaded my Rocket that I used for escape and reentry to finally do a complete orbit and it kept falling over on the landing pad. fell over multiple times. In frustration I pulled out my plane I used on the weekend (Scott Manley Basic Plane) and that blew up on the runway. Decided to take a walk quit the game in frustration, got a beer, had dinner. Wen back reloaded and suddenly nothing was falling over and I got my Orbit done whoop whoop. I did forget to to test the heat shield though.
Quick question as it is driving me to drink. I have a pod, Science jr and heat shield (1.6m I think, not the small one). I did my reentry at 30 -31km and blew the heatshield and Science jr. What am I doing wrong here?
