Experimental re-entry vehicle. Begin by moving the vtol slider up to the max, throttle to 50% and retract the landing gear. Press 1. Adjust the pitch by slowly moving up the throttle to 68%. At 10 000 feet move the throttle up to 100%. After a while, the vehicle starts to pitch up. Carefully correct the pitch. I´d recommend a flight stick, because that requires some precision and you can easily induce oscillation. Wait until you´re out of fuel and seperate the boosters(2) and the tank(3) You can get above 12 000 000 feet. When the vehicle comes back into the atmosphere and the nose starts to pitch down, start rolling the vehicle to stabilize it until about 50 000 feet. At around 250 mph it will stabilize itself into a 10 degree glideslope.
