90 SkywardpilotBest to not let the speed drop off. Decrease the attitude once the speed starts to get below 500 before releasing. Real space shuttles didn't exit the atmosphere at a 90degree angle, they went a lot shallower. Seems to be okay if the speeds kept high but once it starts to spin is near impossible to recover, makes a good challenge though!10.0 years ago

18.6k TeusGreat Idea, but the shuttle is really unstable and just spins out of control after detaching.10.0 years ago
