Today we're perfecting a gravity turn for a reusable rocket! I'm once again improving my code to make it better and including the ability to track and land the first stage on a barge. Then I'm using the simulation to find the BEST* gravity turn possible.

*Results may not actually be perfectly realistic or even fully optimized, sorry I'm trying my best.
