101+ reasons why we are not NASA

[zekes]

51. "Disregard Physics, acquire Flight" principle. (I have read it on someone's signature before )

I love that quote...

[SkyRender]

52. Kerbin has a never-ending well of resources to draw from.

53. Kerbals apparently have nothing better to do than to launch rockets into space.

54. Alternatively, Kerbals are being forced to launch rockets into space constantly at the behest of what we can only assume is a very sadistic higher power.

[Dictator Dan]

55. We fight the kraken.

[FallingIntoBlack]

56. We make military vehicles with no enemy to use them against.

[The Jedi Master]

57: We have space stations orbiting other planets. Manned space stations.

[zekes]

58) real astronauts aren't trying to kill each other in new, elaborate ways.

1 - We build manned ICBM's

So your first thing is EXACTLY what NASA did with it's first manned mission--launching a man atop a modified Redstone ICBM.

[FallingIntoBlack]

59. Most to all real astronauts don't make spaceship parts, or own junkyards.

We have an infinite budget

[CaptinKornflake]

56. We make military vehicles with no enemy to use them against.

56.5. We make military vehicles to use against our military vehicles.

60. We jettison our parts with no intent of recovering them.

[Shadoworgon]

61. we send ships out of the solar system to explore, knowing already theres nothing out there (yet)

61.5. we bungee jump into the atmosphere of a gas giant for "fun"

[FallingIntoBlack]

62. Most of our creations are made because someone thought, "What would happen if I did this?"

[The Jedi Master]

63: We can go to the mun in 12 hours.

[TheDarkStar]

66. We don't care how many tons of rocket fuel and nuclear engines hit Kerbin, as long as it makes a nice explosion.

Wow, we got way off on numbers.

[Shadoworgon]

64. we can pull a million+ g's and still have perfectly functioning crew members (minus some wet pants)

[FallingIntoBlack]

65. We have no concern for Kerbal life.

65.5. When something explodes on the launch pad, we scrap the ENTIRE design.

[SGT_RIZZO300]

66. We put men into orbit for 20 years because we missed the transfer window due to bending time to much

67. We have F-5

68. We build rockets in 5 minutes

69. EVA deorbit=happy

Someone posted 65 while I was writing this.

[FallingIntoBlack]

69. We often send Kerbals into orbit without a ship.

70. We have quicksave.

[Yuri Kargarin]

70: We de-orbit space stations onto Jool to "see how cool re-entry is"

[The Jedi Master]

71: A Kerbal can EVA, travel through interplanetary space, get through the atmosphere, land ON HIS HEAD, and survive.

[Voidryder]

46: If the Kerbal can walk away from the wreckage, the mission is a success

1,086 (Eventually it will be in sequence): Even if the Kerbal doesn't walk away from the wreckage, the mission is a success.

[FallingIntoBlack]

72. We don't care how heavy our craft are.

73. When a Capsule lands in the ocean, we don't bother to rescue the crew.

74. We're "scared of the dark." i.e., we stay in orbit until our landing zone is bright and under the Sun.

75. We fire missiles at our own VAB.

75. We will land a rover on Duna and THEN realize that you didn't add something important

76. A mission is never launched with consideration, just for fun

77. We have struts that can reinforce anything

[FallingIntoBlack]

76. We "accidentally" destroy things.....
