It's a piece of cake - you just go out and do a bunch of turns around the
hold waypoint (Earth) and then come back. Kind of a long EFC time,
though.

Ahh, but you do it all inverted.

"Mission Control clears SMS to Canaveral via thrust vectors, Up,
Hold Earth, right turns, expect further clearance in ten days."

That actually brings up an interesting point. Does anyone know what
coordination needs to happen with the FAA? Are they even involved other than
clearing the airspace?

Cancel IFR passing through FL600 on departure and request IFR clearance
prior to descending through FL600 on return. Watch the 250 knot below
10k airspeed restriction.

I sure would like to have a type certificate for a space shuttle!
Their IFR flight plan must be bizarre.

There is a huge restricted airspace east of Canaveral. It's active for
several hours before the shuttle comes down. I believe the inner slice
is ground to FL600 and the outer slice is ground to infinite.

Basically, the shuttle never comes withing 25 miles of another aircraft
coming down.

Calling the shuttle a "glider" is a bit of a stretch. It basically
comes straight down. Your Cessna in a red line power on nose dive could
never keep up with the rate of decent. There is the approach plate out
there for the space shuttle. As I recall, it turns base at about 30,000
feet. I'm sure it easily stays over 60,000 outside the Edwards
airspace.
