Does that mean it can't do a go around?
- zlsa 5y agoCorrect, they have one chance to land. (But the runway is REALLY long.)
- rozab 5y agoI understand it has pretty good glide characteristics, MUCH better than the space shuttle, allowing for abort at basically any stage of the flight. Also they actually get given parachutes, unlike pre-Challenger STS missions. The space shuttle was really grim.
