    So they say but since it never even went into space it’s a bold claim.

      I’m reading that it orbited at an altitude of up to 263 km, well above the Karman line. Is that not space?

        Well that’s debatable but really the point is it never did a re-entry so we really don’t know how reusable it would have been.

            By landing?

            Reentry doesn’t mean flying downwards it means actually coming in at a high enough speed to generate heating. Otherwise it’s just falling.

              I’m pretty sure any reentry from orbit is going to involve high enough speeds to generate heating.

      It’s just like their foxbat claims…turned out it was a flying brick.

      Edit: apparently I pissed off some tankies lol

      It’s well known that the foxbat was heavily exaggerated in its capabilities. It’s how we ended up with the f15 and it’s insane capabilities. Just like now russia fighting in Ukraine, paper tiger.
