After seeing the new STS Booster test that NASA had done for their planned Mars mission at some point in the future, I got on a pretty big space kick and wanted to make the Space Shuttles that we used to use.
It's not named or based off any of them in particular, but it is the OV, the External Tank, and two SRBs; all of which are able to be jettisoned via rails.
Features:
*Usually I post a pictures with the stats of the ship and it's docks, but with so many things docked it seemed a bit off - so I left it out.
**With Inherited thrust, the energy is not stable; this was due to there not being enough room in the OV for more reactors. HOWEVER, I feel that this also adds to the reality of the shuttle and that they only fired the engines in controlled bursts.

Features:
- Open-able cargo bay doors with a rail to dock whatever fits
- External Tank with SRBs attached on either side
- Jettison logic for SRBs and the external tank, respectively
- A Safety logic included to ensure you don't accidentally jettison something you don't mean to. (Requires activation of 2 ship remotes)
- Ensure you Inherit Thrust from Docks for full effect
- 95% to scale! (a few things just don't fit with 1m cubes
