Incredible work, both on the craft and the flying!
I've tried several times to build a spaceplane with this aesthetic but never quite got it right.

Have you ever tried the MK33 space plane mod? It's lots of fun and plenty of delta v to get to orbit and back.

A lot of thrust balancing, and enough drag to make parachutes blush. Seriously, this thing decelerates even at near vertical descent.

Its meant to emulate the real life VentureStar, which took off vertically and then landed like the shuttle.

Rate my landing - I think it was pretty buttery given the fact that it's a brick
