Yea of course somebody must have found this bug already, but just in case.
I was just trying to take this thing(Simpleairliner without any modification) off of the launchpad(not runway) and accidentaly crashed and I was in space. current surface velocity: 38,499 m/s.
Maybe I should try sending a gigantic space station to space before this bug gets fixed lol
