Ugh. I fought stages so hard in kerbal, that everyone I showed my rockets to recoiled in disgust. It's not my fault, guys! I have a pathological repulsion of 'wasting' items!
Does the extra fuel you used hauling around your entire launch vehicle not count as waste?
Don't... don't make me cry, man. Not this late at night.
SSTOs are viable in KSP
Yes, but I don't think I've ever gotten past the 90 research cost mark, so I was always a little gimped in my approaches. One day I'll buckle down and really get into it. I'll need to find that research mod that makes it not so painful though.
The base research is trivial. Just do the random missions. They give so much in return, it's ridiculous.
I just like building my initial crawler with like eight of every sensor to go around the space complex. I always thought that was a great bit of game planning on their part.
Ok, did you ever feel regret when realizing how many items you wasted going for that approach? Just use a reusable booster stage.
Well, see, that's the thing! I put enough parachutes on, AND made sure I could hit the atmo enough to slowly drag my velocity down to an entry arc, AND had enough fuel to keep my velocity low enough at that point, that I never lost any parts, landed them all and recovered!
I was a horrible designer.
BUT THE FUEL
I love this one XD
Another joke I like to tell in the same vein is
"I'd never vaccinate my kids, that's dangerous and irresponsible... I'll leave it to someone with proper training, like a doctor or nurse"
Yeah but can you college kids prove space is real? Cause it isn’t.
Essentially space is just a vacuum, a void, the lack of something. Does nothing exsist?

Counterpoint: SSTOs
You call that counterpoint? Bach's Mass in D minor. Now that's counterpoint!
Countercounterpoint: SSTOs don't exist
But a "moon landing" doesn't exist neither.
Just because you’re too stupid to understand how something works doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Doubt you know how a car engine works either, yet there are a whole lot of cars out there.
Please don't tell me you took that seriously.
Are flerfers smart enough to join a Lemmy instance? Genuinely asking
Good luck running an atmosphere optimized engine in vacuum.
Aerospike?
And the earth is flat, nobody is going to carbonate all the oceans
What? Why would someone turn the oceans into fizzy drinks? What if the fish don’t like fizzy drinks?
Me to the fish:
Idk us land fish seem to like fizzy drinks just fine.
Since Jules Verne
So you science nerds admit it!
This is similar to the successful black man meme.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
