How the Space Shuttle Worked (KSP Stock Replica)

I've decided to challenge myself after building the Soyuz and I've tried to build a Space Shuttle replica.
This was built in sandbox Kerbal Space Program with stock parts only, to demonstrate certain functional characteristics of the spacecraft.
I attempt to replicate the mission, through launch, orbital insertion, reentry and landing, as well as unintentionally recreating the Challenger and Columbia disasters!
