It looks pretty boring at first... But those heat shields are not a trash... They! Are! Gridfins!!! Just add Slider1 and get it down and the gridfins will deploy, if you get it up, nothing bad would happen... But it would look super weird... It is really hard to land (and it actually suffered a rapid unscheduled dissasembly), but soon a better version will be available for download.

@AstronautPlanes As long as the booster leaves the atmosphere and is on a ballistic trajectory, a reentry burn works. SpaceX doesn't send their boosters into orbit, either.

So if I make this to actually achieve orbit, then I would make a re-entry burn...

@MyMessage @SupremeDorian But this is 😂EXPERIMENTAL😂, so it would not achieve orbit, take it as a grass hopper test vehicle.

@AstronautPlanes I know it exists, which is why you need to do a reentry burn to slow yourself down to a speed that won't destroy the booster.

@SupremeDorian Re-Entry damage exists on SR2, but by default, it is not on.

@MyMessage I got 100 points in SP, but before that I already signed in SR2.

@SupremeDorian I know :/ It is a bit of trash those heat-shields, and I should probably add fuselage parts, because they are super customizable.

I don't have the game, but heat shields are unnecessary for a booster landing as long as you do a Reentry Burn like SpaceX does.
@SupremeDorian I know it!! SSTO's in real life are almost impossible.
