I run a "Fly or Die" rocketry program. Now, if they get stranded somewhere, that can be fun playing out a rescue. But I don't bother with ejection seats or safety parachutes anymore. The little guys' names will cycle back around before too long.

My naming scheme mostly is inspired by Iain M Banks. Disaster Sandwich WTF Express Cargo Cult Muns Over My Hammy Skyline Butcher Look Out Below Dare To Be Stupid Hot Dog

After many (many, many) attempts, I finally got an SSTO, the Hot Dog II, into orbit, docked with my space station, then back down to Kerbin. I kept f'ing the chicken around 2km up trying to align myself for the KSC runway, so I just settled for landing anywhere. The vehicle loses too much weight when the fuel's gone and it gets flippy. Takeoff was fine, though. Circularizing my orbit. On approach to the station. Stay on target... Docking success. No refueling happened this trip, check the Resources display. Deorbiting like Ghost Rider. Jeb survives! This is about 20km shy of KSC. I might make it back to the runway one of these days.
