Yeah, we have a copy of that at XCOR, but I've been staying away from
it, since I *know* it would suck my brain out. I once had an evaluation
copy of DAB ascent, a program to simulate space launch vehicles in
detail, derived from NASA POST. It has everything- Isp sensitivity to
altitude, mach number effects, lift and drag coefficients, staging
events, trajectory optimization, reentry dynamics... it was a good thing
the program had a built-in expiration.
