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!
Fucking idiots

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.

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.

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?

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 either.

Good luck running an atmosphere optimized engine in vacuum.

This is similar to the successful black man meme.

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”
