If the TAV doesn't have any rockets or pressurized-gas jets, and just
undives up into space and drifts back to atmosphere, it'll be rolling
uncontrolably while in space, making it impossible to perform many
useful tasks while in space. Also, when it returns it may burn up if
it's spinning upon atmosphereic entry. Will it perhaps have some
attitude-control rockets or jets to alleviate these problems?
