I rarely aerobrake lol. But when I tried to (with the Apollo CM after coming back from the moon), i set PeA at 60km and had to endure about 9 re-entries before finally coming down.
I do a lot of "experimentation"
I must have trashed at least 5 XR5s by now, about 15 XR1s, killed several XR1...
I don't know, but I guess it can be tested. Altitude was 5km, velocity Mach 0.3. (I didn't bother to get the GS or IAS)
I'm 14, so that rules out the lottery... In America, you need to be 18 to buy lottery tickets :dry:

I've been gone a while, and I've needed the computerex addon that adds UMmu to any vessel. But his add-on forum is gone. Why?
Also, where can I find his addons?
Two things:
1. Can I get a job at Altea aerospace? I'm sure I could do something like sharpening pencils or unwrapping bubble wrap from hover doors. My special skills include delivering donuts to meetings and opening boxes. Oooooooo.... I'm a gifted guy.
2. I have a small suggestion regarding...
I personally rarely use autopilots to fly the DGIV, DG, XR1 or XR5 into orbit. The only one I use is the attitude hold on the XR vessels to make my job easier.
I use autopilots only when I fly AMSO or the Shuttle, but I can fly those manually too. I have to try manual flight of the Energia...
