Shuttle (spacecraft)

Space Shuttles
A space shuttle is a spacecraft that is launched vertically (usually attached to a booster stage) that then returns and lands like an airplane. the most famous of these is the US Space Shuttle

The Space Shuttle originated in the United States as a visionary way to make access to space affordable and regular.

EJ is a huge fan of the Space Shuttle's vision, intention, and design, however, EJ does recognize many of the flaws in the system.

EJ believes the Shuttle could have been made truly reusable had the culture within NASA not shifted to overemphasis on safety after the Challenger and Columbia disasters, evident by the recently test fired AR-22 (Re purposed Space Shuttle Main Engine) to be used on the XS-1 spaceplane.

Shuttles That EJ Has Built
EJ has built a number of shuttles in his livestreams. the most noteworthy element of EJ's shuttles were their working stock doors, but recently more attention has been focused on robot arms, KMU's, and Kraken Tech satellite deployment systems, which he, formerly Yargnit, and others on the stream have developed. the shuttles he has built (in no particular order) are: NOTE: this is not a full list, please flesh out.
 * the Armstrong orbiter
 * the Lovell orbiter
 * the Baikal orbiter
 * the Collins orbiter

Real Life Shuttles
Ej takes his inspiration from many real life shuttles, such as:
 * Space transport system (US space shuttle)
 * Buran Program
 * XS-1 Spaceplane
 * Dreamchaser
 * Venture Star/X-33
