You should be if you made that landing with the NASA specified struts

touching down and settling 215,000lbs without thrust @ under 18 feet per second requires allot of skill


Congrats!!





....PS

All you have to do is accomplish that 50 times in a row but not miss the center line more than twice and you would qualify to sign up for the "list" @ NASA

a nice thought but....no    the flight sim is enough   i was quite amased when i landed to   was relly fun   from aproach to landing   overall good pack.  crashed that brick many times though.. most i would have walked away from! only broke main gear and was still able to vring the frong wheel down safely! 8)  ;D
