101+ reasons why we are not NASA

[Guest]

240) When asked why the Kerbal Space Program has no Range Safety Officer, the agency administrator, Gonzo Kerman, replied "Why would we need one? Half the time, our rockets blow themselves up!"

[Cby]

241) asking for weapons off strangers from the Internet is perfectly normal

242) If a plane we have designed refuses to be flown right side up, we turn our monitor upside down.

[Miniboyss]

243) If a rocket is unstable, we attach more unstable parts in order to stabilize it.

244:

we openly acknowledge that duct tape is a reliable solution.

[LeonG17]

245. We openly acknowledge that our Kerbalnauts wear EVA suits held together with gum.

[FallingIntoBlack]

246. We put ridiculous amounts of fuel on craft and use all of it.

[FallingIntoBlack]

247. We put spacecraft in the hands of Kerbals like Jebediah.

[Kerbal01]

248. We only have three rules

1. Moar boosters

2.moar struts

3. Moar chutes

[LeonG17]

249. You've forgotten the 4th:

Moar Jeb!

[jwenting]

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

And don't forget Atlas, which is still in use today as a launcher.

And the Soviets of course did the same thing...

250. we got whack a kerbal and "heavy f***king rockets"

[Luiaard]

s251. we forget the MapSat Dish every time we lauch a terrain maping satelite...

[FallingIntoBlack]

252. We often test weaponry on our own ships, and, more often than not, on our own kerbonauts.

[Rage097]

253: Launching People via Mainsail engines is completely viable to us.

[firerider521]

254: Whack-a-Kerbal.

[ManaaniWanderer]

1111111base2:We get to actually do space with out having people ask why?

[Tataffe]

256: We choose to go to the mün in this hour and do the other things, not because they are hard, but because they are easy.

[Astronomer]

257 (the killer): We know there are no aliens.

[Merinsan]

258. We put ridiculous amounts of fuel into orbit so we can use it for interplanetary missions, and then just build bigger rockets so we don't have to use it.

259. Getting into orbit without a ship is not only possible, but cool.

260. We build complete bases on Kerbin, then launch them to other planets.

261. We think 20m/s is too slow for a rover.

262. We happily dock ships going at 1m/s

263. When we decide to set up a base on the Mun, it happens within a matter of weeks.

264. The longest a Kerbal has been in space is longer than the average human life.

265. We rarely confuse yards with meters.

[Merinsan]

266. Flying yourself into a flipped rover using your jetpack is a viable way to right a rover.

[Levelord]

267. We have an infinite budget.

[joppiesaus]

268. We don't have TV's to watch landings. Or even civilians.

[Tataffe]

269. Not only do we not mix up measurement systems, we are advanced enough to use the metric system.

Not 268 any more :)
