Drift 1

A rocket.

...it is designed to send 1 human onto the orbit and then take it back on the planet safe.
Can be easily pulled on orbit.
Keep RCS ON while taking off and defining the curve as they help in maneuvering.

Rather still showoff rocket than functionality, even though i spent on it 2 weeks to make performing somewhat easily accesible.

IT FEATURES:
- Pure 20 millions of tax-payers souls, it can be bought on Ebay;
- Only heterosexual types of fuel, no uraniums nor meth (-alox);
- 4 main phases - Takeoff that will take you almost to vacuum, Approximating the orbit, Finishing orbit and correcting it, and Landing capsule;
- RCS steering inside the atmosphere;
- Not working auto takeoff and landing algorithms (legends say you can still find encripted texts in Space Capsules flight program);
- No tinker. Just engineering;
- 3 first stage boosters and capsule itself are reusable! Everything else burns in the atmosphere;
- Looks good.

Algorythm for best output when flying outta atmosphere:
1. Take it off.
2. Start makin that nice curve at 20k ASL, and end at 80k or so (do autopilots pitch from 90 to 0). Best heading is the E
3. Think of stage 3 and 4 as one, do throttle 100 when there is less 60 sec until reaching highest point, else 0. Its for fuel efficiency.
4. You should have nice orbit with both apsises over 100k and over 50% of fuel left in 4th stage tank. If not its ok

And going back (you should have at least 30% of fuel left to make it back):
1. Lock heading on retrograde and do throttle 100
2. Lose all the fuel
3. Get rid of that empy fuel tank!
4. Lock prograde
5. Click on fairing nose and watch it burning (activate next stage when its heat shield will be less 50)
6. Get rid of that cage
7. When you finally stop flaming you can get rid of that shield (do it civilised way by locking onto up and punching with intestage, or BLOW IT UP)
8. I got 3 mage engines and 5 parachutes for you at the finish. If you cant land it, well, skill issue

poor astronaut...

have fun
