Hey guys,

It looks like Infinite Flight has released a cool blog regarding Ground Service Equipment.

Here’s the link to check it out: How Falcon 9 Helped Fix A Bug

So will the falcon 9 rocket eventually be available as a fly able spacecraft in infinite flight?!!!

Reminds me of the time I was controlling Shannon and Laura checked in at 100,000 feet in the International Space Station. Definitely got a laugh out of me. 😂

If rockets were possible to render, then I imagine it would also be possible to add again the Space Shuttle with 202x physics.
Maybe.

I don’t think like physically rendering the object was ever a real issue. The space shuttle in the context of the old shuttle landing mission and the Falcon 9 are basically entirely different things. The shuttle on approach and landing is a high speed glider, Falcon 9 is a rocket with 9 engines, almost 2 million lbs of thrust and no real aerodynamic surfaces. (yes grid fins, I see you, but you have nothing on proper wings)

I really doubt the Falcon 9 was ever implemented in any real way either, probably more of a sort of conceptual way which would require massive amounts of work to turn into anything remotely realistic to the real thing. But as I mentioned that’s not really the set of physics they need for the shuttle landing missions of old.
