Lets just say GLAS doesn't fare well with LIGH.
I'm a huge job fan #jebfansforlife #ksp
EPIC! I tryed with plasma and not melted! +1
Yeah, i know, but im not going to change it, this save is old.
Good model, but usualy u don't re-enter head on like that or you burn up. The Idea is to have a huge surface area that slows the ship down as quickly as possible after hitting the atmosphere. A stramlined shape retains its velocity of several km/s for longer and is therefore more likely to burn up. (faster=more heat)
Congrats, you have developed... a piece of metal that does not burn, tied to a model ship. +1 for the model ship, but the "heat shield" is, in my opinion, worthless. Real heat shields would need to withstand melting temperatures.
