  • @OriginalAtomicSheep gravity.

  • @OriginalAtomicSheep It is shaped for "passive" stability - a disturbance of angle in the atmosphere will result in extra aerodynamic forces that move it back to center. Obviously it uses control thrusters to line up for entry at this angle before jettisoning the remainder of the spacecraft.

  • What I don't understand... is how does an obvject shaped almost like a ball... not spin out of control
