My First Suborbital Spacplane! (was from a tutorial...)

[The Jedi Master]

OK, so I was going to hold off on any projects after the Apollo-style Mun mission until 0.21, but since my predictions on it's release date were wrong, I figured I'd just try building a new craft design I could move to 0.21 if I wanted to. So I searched around the internet for a tutorial until I found

. I followed it. I decided only to complete the first segment for the sake of convenience, so I followed the instructions and managed a suborbital space plane.

I am quite pleased. Unfortunately, the tutorial does not show how to land the thing, so I had to land it myself. It was actually going well until I reactivated the rocket engine close to the ground. It crashed and exploded, and a control surface was sent on an infiniglide flight.

RIP, Jebediah Kerman. At least I got into space...
