I will sincerely miss these shuttles once they are retired. They are the icons of space flight, and there is something so simplistically beautiful about them.

@Busdude97 no the engines aren't running.
They use the reaction control thrusters when they are decending, before there is enough atmosphere to fly like a normal plane, but once its fully in the atmosphere the shuttle acts just like a glider. (one that likes to fall a lot more than glide)

Are the engines on when they are landing?
