Space Shuttle

[yonkee]

It is a working space shuttle. It can get to orbit without cheats, and can land 25% of the time (I’ve only tried landing 4 times). It has a retractable bridge thing for the launch tower, and has a sparkler for the SRB’s. The SRB’s can separate from the ET, and the ET can also separate. The cargo bay door can be locked in place by a solar panel.

Wow, this is pretty cool!

 

[Horus Lupercal]

Ha, you know the sparkler was for the RS-25s...?

But yeah, it's a pretty good looking shuttle dude.

Didn’t know that. I knew one of the engines had a sparking thing but didn’t wanna do research

Liquid fuel side boosters, nice upgrade.

Research is over-rated when being accurate.

One step closer to a Buran-Energia...

The fairings are delicate though if you accidentally click it the cockpit may explode and come off soo

Have you tried locking them with some small struts or parachutes?

The thing about that is I’m not sure which fairing I should lock since there is a lot of fairings in there

All the fairings that aren't directly connected to each other

I believe that one would be enough, since they're all clipped...

Well, that’s a great shuttle. And I like the fact solution you found to make bigger engines.

Thanks, I’m not sure how I can make the engines look more detailed though

They already look great. They are unstretched, right?

If you’re talking about the actual engine than yeah no stretching I just stacked 2-3 engines to get the thrust I need no bp editing

Yes, I was talking about the actual engine hidden inside.

See, everyone? This is the kinda thing I was talking about. This guy found a problem and worked out a creative and original way to solve it. He didn’t went straight and changed a number on an external file, we worked like an engineer.

Late to the party but, it's a great shuttle!

Thanks!

I present to you all the Shuttle^2

A shuttle as a booster? Nice idea

 

[Horus Lupercal]

A shuttle as a booster? Nice idea

Is that even allowed? Someone needs to use a shuttle to get an external tank into orbit

Sure it’s probably 100x more expensive than using an ET but it sure is cooler

why dont we make planes and launch shuttles from there
