I liked putting in 100% thrust, regardless of the start conditions. It would stop, think while the lights would flash, then it would tell you the maximum altitude reached and the impact velocity, after you ran out of fuel and finally slowed down and returned to an almighty crash on the surface! I was always fairly destructive!
I just remembered that the computer would also estimate the size of crater that you would make on impact!
