Are you guys just trying to pad out your videos with your landing "technique"? Seriously. When you approach you periapsis at 30,000, just burn retrograde to slow down. If you're still scared that the engine will blow up then retrograde burn before you are in atmosphere at say 100,000. You guys come into atmosphere at 2800 m/s which is way too fast. You have to be below 2000 m/s or more ideally 1800-1600 m/s to land without stressing at the parachute button.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have Brad, Jeff, Rorie, Vinnie, Alex, Austin or anyone off the street sub in for Dan for just one episode. I love Dan's attitude, but he really sucks at teaching Drew how to play this game and it makes Drew frustrated and painful for the viewer to watch. Brad would be the best to teach Drew how to play properly or eat least get him on the right path.
Yep Drew, keeping beating your head against the wall thinking it will unlock the door. I think Drew is the wrong person to play this game. It should have been Dan... Mainly because Drew's whining about not getting things right is annoying.
