Now traveling at hypersonic speeds and visiting the edge of space is not just for astronauts. With the URL-65 Hyper-Shuttle you too can experience the thrill without needing any aeronautical training. The passenger craft can carry up to 4 people to space at speeds exceeding 4k and return them safely to terra firma in about 10 minutes. The best part is, the whole craft is fully recoverable. The controls are as follows:
Power up to 10% and activate AG 1 to releases takeoff cart.
AG 2 to activate deceleration chutes after reaching your chosen altitude.
AG 3 will jettison passenger pod and active the deceleration chute, which should be cut away after clearing the delivery craft to return to freefall.
AG 4 activates final descent parachute.
Enj joy!

@ChiChiWerx
Nice! That's well into the thermosphere and about 20km (65,000ft) short of low earth orbit (LEO). I'm thinking about making a challenge out of this build.
@EnderWiggin figured it out already, thanks. 465,000 ft + and 4,000 mph :)

Deactivate AG3
So, how do you cut away the deceleration chute (AG3 chute)?
4,000 mph and reached 444,000 ft +
