KCS Adventure is readied for launch at the Primary Launch site! 
The automated systems carry it up easily!
“Wow! Look at it go!”
-Jeb
The Launch Vehicle detaches, and Adventure’s engines carry it the rest of the way! 
A normal Crew Shuttle flight would head to orbit at this point, but instead Adventure fires its engines to simulate a very high speed re-entry to Kerbin’s atmosphere. 
As the shuttle comes in for reentry, it performs a bit of a “belly flop” as it slows down. 
Eventually Adventure slows down enough to attempt a landing. A green field across the sea from Cape Kerman is selected for the test landing. 
Almost there…. 
A perfect landing! Adventure glides to a complete stop, and crews are dispatched to investigate the Crew Shuttle for any stresses or damage incurred in the flight!
The KCS-LV is recovered 250km from the Space Center! Engineers estimate it can be recovered for about 85% of its total construction cost. Not bad!
