Do you know if there is any autopilot like HCLV MFD for launching rockets into space?

Not really since multi-staged rockets require custom autopilots because of the different guidance targets.

the HCLV MFD for example only remote controls the HCLV autopilot and acts as pure front-end to it.

Indeed. Autopilot has been coded inside HCLV itself - MFD was just using some exposed functions to control it - or rather set up target and light the candle.

It was probably a demonstration of how to load a spaceplane like a payload (as the shuttle Buran).:hmm:

Nah. The bat is in a parallel configuration and in danger of foam strike. ;)

I'm at work ATM; but there is a launch autopilot (2 steps) the launch, delay for roll program and launch heading. Step 2 takes over to get the ApA and PeA.

There should be a name for that glitch when you crash into a solid surface really hard and you fly out of the solar system spinning extremely fast.

If rappers, pro wrestlers and medieval popes get offended when you use their real name...maybe a good use for a time machine would be going back and creating a rapping, wrestling Pope who solves the investiture controversy by spitting mad lines and fighting the Emperor in a cage match.

How bad is it when that sounds like a good idea?
