101+ reasons why we are not NASA

[keanukeno21]

270. We can destroy rock planet's and rock moon's using :

And can go to light speed

[Canopus]

271: We don't have a population behind us that consist mainly of Tree-hugging hippies, and thats why we can build stuff like this:

[POTKC]

281: We have map view.

282: We laugh at crashes.

283: Our mission patches would say 'Kerman Kerman Kerman' if we had any in the first place.

4 - We try to land on gas giants

yep, i tried that once

[Neici]

284: If we accidentally deploy chutes while launching a rocket into orbit, we cut them, EVA around the rocket to repack them before the weird aerodynamics let the kerbal fall faster than the rocket.

285. we do deploy our chutes WHILE in orbit.

[ThePyrateCaptain]

We successfully establish permanent offworld colonies without even trying.

Boooya! I vote this one in.

[LeonG17]

286 . All our parts can survive the fastest and hottest re-entry, they might fall apart but they will never burn!

You sir, just taught us how we will develop FTL for when other systems are added.

*Prepare for FTL transition*

* crash into jool... Wait a short while... DECELERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh god we can't!

287:

Real life: If a rocket even thinks about falling over during the gravity turn the abort is called.

KSP: We do three loops while at full power, regain control of the monster, realign it, and carry on as if nothing ever happened.

[Sapphire]

288: We have a button that lets us recall the entire rocket and all the astronauts, unharmed and undamaged, whenever and wherever we want.

[LeonG17]

289 . Our Kerbalnauts have no wants or needs except SRBs for Jeb.

Not only that, we deploy our chutes at launch.

QFT. If I do a loop, what's going through my mind is "how much delta-v did that cost me?"

I've been paying close attention to rocket launch failure videos on youtube, and almost every rocket that blew up in flight is preceded by what appears to be a launch profile deviation. I don't think many of those explosions are accidents, they're the result of range safety hitting the abort button.

288: We have a button that lets us recall the entire rocket and all the astronauts, unharmed and undamaged, whenever and wherever we want.

And it even resets the universe back to the start so you don't miss your launch window!

[OneWayTrip]

290. We deorbit and crash our stuff just to see how it looks.

291. We try to fly planes into each other instead of avoiding it.

292. We care for Jeb, and Jeb only. The rest of them are worthless.

[Astronomer]

yep, i tried that once

[FallingIntoBlack]

293. If we miss our target and we're low on fuel, we land on the nearest planet/moon, or try and get to our refueling station, which we usually run out of fuel trying to get to.

[Flixxbeatz]

294. We don't care about having the spacecraft insufficient fuel load to continue for the mission since we can launch a resupply rocket right away after launching the main spacecraft.

[ProjectXMark1]

295: We can, in talks of expansion to space, mention Minmus as the next destination after the Mun.

Seriously, this happened to me. I am not on Kerbin, damn it!

[Spaceisbeautifulul]

296: Our crew doesn't die until they are vaporized.

[CalculusWarrior]

297: If we do run out of fuel coming down onto a planet's surface, simply EVAing the crew and making sure that they land on their heads will allow them to survive.

298: Vast interplanetary missions can often be designed, built, tested, and launched in little more than a day.

299: A horribly spinning rocket can be immediately brought under control by time accelerating.

[OceanFire]

300: We don't have a budget.

[KevinTMC]

288: We have a button that lets us recall the entire rocket and all the astronauts, unharmed and undamaged, whenever and wherever we want.

The button could be used to save the astronauts from a fiery death, instead of resurrecting them after a fiery death, but many of us never bother to do that. Because explosions.

298: Vast interplanetary missions can often be designed, built, tested, and launched in little more than a day.

So true. Ah, there's Jool window is in a few days time...

[Spaceisbeautifulul]

301: We feel at ease stranding our crew on a deserted ice world.
