I can't seem to achieve stable orbit with the Atlantis.. mostly because i accelerate the time to 10x and start spinning out of control because i tap the controls before i make it up :p

Thinkin about it it'd be nice if they had jets that move the thing left and right without rotating any..

i did that on a redstone mission, the capsule. i shut it down and was spinning wildly out of control but instead of falling down i was falling out into space. wild stuff :aok

i'm gonna have to read the manual that comes with it. i dont really understand the whole getting into orbit bit cuz i cant get it to be very stable either. the first part of the manual does say true orbit is hardest to achieve and isnt just a fly as high as you can process. news to me :lol

anyway this thing is a nice little time killer. without using the speed up thing it takes about 45 mins real time to get into space and on a trajectory thats smooth. well worth the effort when ya see the view ;)
