After reading into "Secret Weapons of the Cold War", i became fascinated by Russia and America's race to be able to wage combat in outer space, this is why I was so keen in the X-20. When researching furthur into spaceplanes, I found a very old (theorised in the 1930s) space bomber. This 'silbervogel' or 'silverbird' in english would have been boosted into space, and then skipped across the atmosphere several times, being able to circle the globe (and bomb anywhere theoretecically). If you would be interested in this ScyBladeGhost, go for it, if not, ill try my hand, but it wont end up so accurate.

If you are interested, there is a link to a helpfull website here;

Do you think the physics books are bulletproof?

Actually, Ill do it myself. This will take along time though! :wink:

I promise my next add-on will not invlolve bombing, spying, shooting or the Nazi war machine. Sorry, I don't want to seem wierd.
Notes
Unintentional launch, cork was too loose to sustain adequate pressure
Very succesful glide
Best launch so far
Rocket started hissing, leak lead to a no-launch
None
Leaked in fuelling stage
