Testing my SHIP in KSP (Yes it did survive this re-entry)

This is how I figured out it would need canards in order to land safely... Thank goodness for KSP to help make my builds realistic. I have been using it as a simulator to test aerodynamic forces on a spaceplane which is as close as I can get in shape to my SHIP for SHIPtember.

 

After mant crashes, aero breakups, overheating pieces, and hard labor. I finally have an idea of what the final product for my SHIP must look like. Because of this research I will not be able to complete the SHIP in one week as originally intended but it will hopefully be done by the end of this week.

Thanks to Peter L Morris for inspiring me to get KSP as it has been very fun to play not to mention useful for my builds.
