Anything will fly if you stick enough boosters on it. I wonder, though... a ballistic missile submarine has a sizable collection of rocket boosters on board. How far could you lift the submarine if you somehow attached the missiles to it and fired them all?

I've got to be honest, when you did the mid video outro and cut back in, I was hoping to see you build the Soyuz with 2 shuttles as boosters.

Scott did you know NASA are having behind the scenes talks on another Shuttle because of the Material advancements in the way they seal the re-entry foam on the Booster and Shuttle? They have had significant improvements on tests they have done on the Unmanned X37B. The new way of sealing the reentry foam significantly eliminates it from breaking apart on launch and it has better thermal properties that can withstand much hotter and colder temperatures.

As soon as I saw that image I thought "Oh please, please make that in KSP so we can see it fail spectacularly"

I once saw a drawing of a space shuttle. The doors to the cargo bay continued into the crew cabin. I assume that this was a proposed cabriolet space shuttle. The drawing was, if I remeber it correctly, on a cd-rom with useful drawings that our bright boss brought home frome the US. Many of those images were hilarious. A pistol missing the trigger, a naval gun that could not be elevated, a settler woman with a hefty plastic surgery on her mammae a huge party dress and a large gun and so on.

One of the things that stood out to me was that although a lot of care was given to the hinges of the payload doors, there are not two separate doors. There's one piece, from the hinges we can see, over to presumably the hinges we can't see. Doors don't do well without a free end that can swing open. And the shape of that superdoor is perfectly cylindrical instead of the bulkier real thing. Ask yourself if you would design a minivan to mimic this shape. Edit: replaced "cargo" with "payload."

Another thing that was wrong with the image is that the space shuttle's delta wings have no elevons. So they can only steer on the yaw axis.

The Space Shuttle would have been so much better had they used recoverable liquid fueled boosters. Imagine if they used two miniaturized Falcon 9s. That would be quite the concept.

I imagine an intact shuttle would float for a long time

I made a space shuttle with a Saturn V as the external fuel tank in KSP. The Saturn V landed on the Mun and splashed down safely like a boss, while the space shuttle returned from LKO and landed on the runway. Probably the best thing I've done in KSP so far.

The bay on the shuttle in the thumbnail also seems to have only one giant door with what appears to be scaled up brass hinges from a kitchen cabinet all along it, or maybe it's three doors with two of them being really small at the front and back.
