Quote:The trajectory is only feasible >15 min and <16 min (that makes press report of approx 15 min correct). In this calculation I fitted in reported peak altitude of 400Km and accounting for this flights energy wasting tail wagging maneuver (use of flex nozzles) that I saw in video recording. This corresponds to splash down at a range of 4,130Km. This collaborates the 4000Km range shown on some of the TV reports.
