The only man brave enough to do this in RSSRO

[@Eugene-xt1nn]

love your kos work

[@PXTSERYU_]

One day if you have the time it would be awesome to see a fork of SOCK by you. You seem to have a great understanding of how the shuttle performs.

[@giuliodondi]

I can't guarantee that I'll be able to weld up a single orbiter part like I did for SSS, but I might try it once I'm done with ongoing kOS stuff

[@supertomcathornet8233]

how about for buran linked with shuttleentrysim could it be possible to make a buran but like adding shuttle aerodynamics like a copy and paste in way? since they are the same thing in a way like is it possible to a make buran single orbiter as well?@@giuliodondi

[@gametraingamestation4784]

This is so awesome

[@lewismassie]

Really cool to see

[@1lustigermenschfighterlp458]

Great video (:

[@PBMOTOKING]

can you make a video teaching how to mount the space shuttle ? my mod is not working :(

[@Lord_Merterus]

Is your shuttle mod compatible with 1.12.5?

[@giuliodondi]

sure it is

[@eclipticsim]

Has a Kerbalism config ever been considered for your fork of SSS?

[@giuliodondi]

My fork of SSS is now Kerbalism compatible

[@supertomcathornet8233]

Any plans for buran reentry script or no?

[@dsdy1205]

Abort options: no.

[@giuliodondi]

There are abort options for a West Coast launch:
- RTLS back to Vandenberg
- TAL to Easter Island or Hao, French Polynesia (good luck bringing back the Orbiter though)
- Abort once around back to Vandenberg since the mission profile is essentially an AoA anyways

[@fogh1]

Would really be a TAL though more like a TPL
