I always keep coming back to thinking about the space shuttle late at night while I go to sleep
“Hey, I know, we can design it with a delta wing, no fuel, no thrusters, minimal control surfaces; and when it re-enters, everything has to go 1000% to plan (from re-entry point, to drag, to speed, to rate of descent, etc.) until it just gracefully glides to a stop 300 miles away on the runway.”
