forgot to take any reentry and landing photos, but it follows a standard space plane reentry and landing procedure.

It glides extremely well at low altitude and touchdown speed is between 65 and 80 m/s

I was shooting for a realistic aircraft look in the design. I was going to put nosecones on the external tanks, but I run stock

aerodynamics, so it was just dead weight that I decided to leave off.

100% stock (except for the MJ module)
