SHUTTLE 1.A MISSION ^Here is the shuttle, the Shuttle1. It has a Rhino engine and no cargo to hinder it... ^The booster is based on the Russian Proton booster. It 20,000 KiloNewtons of thrust. ^Here I learned a valuable lesson! If a large amount of weight is on a Rhino engine without autostruct (Which is now stock!)... Well, it provides hinge-like function. ^IN ORBIT!!!! ^Orbital picture taking is fun! ^Reentering the atmosphere at high speed. ^I wanted to land on the runway. Also, someone really paying attention to this might be wondering why I'm going to the KSC in the opposite direction relative to my orbit... I overshot on reentry and went slightly past the islands, turned around, and used my remaining fuel in the Shuttle1 to get back the KSC's grassy fields, if not the runway. ^Rolling along... ^The OMS system blew up on reentry as seen here. This was a fun mission!
