Me: Go on.

Bob: Is this thing safe?

Me: Of course it is, I tested it unmanned earlier.

Bob: Does it have enough fuel?

Me: Yes.

Bob: Can it land safely?

Me: Yes, to a given value of "safe".

Bob: But what if something goes wrong?

Me: Don't worry about that.

Bob: Is it safe?

Me: Yes.

Bob: Are you sure?

Me: Yes.

Bob: Are you really sure?

Me: Yes.

On a year-long mission to Eloo:

Jeb: Are we nearly there yet?

Me: No.

Jeb: How about now?

Me: Jeb, you do realise that you've been asking me this for weeks now, and that we still have 11 months to go before we get there?

Jeb: How about now?

Me: No.

Jeb: How about now?

Me: No!

Jeb: How about now?

Me: Ask me again, and I'll turn this spacecraft around.

Jeb: How about now?

Me: That's it, I'm turning this space craft around and heading back to Kerbin.

Jeb: You do realise that we don't have enough delta-v left for that?

Me: Damn.

Jeb: So, are we nearly there yet?

Me: Ughhhhhh...

Me: Time to test the space shuttle prototype again guys!

Neltop: C'mon, we've already tested it a numerous amount of times.

Alory: And we haven't even gotten close to space yet

Me: Yeah, but it hasn't killed you yet.

Kirmund: It's come close twice already when the external fuel tank and boosters disintegrated below our very own feet!!!

Me: That is likely just caused by a construction error or some game bug. I'm sure I'll get it fixed! Besides, you 3 wound up fine!

Neltop: We lost wing parts and the nosecone! We're only alive because we're lucky it didn't destroy anything vital!

Me: What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. And what does kill you makes you revert to a previous version of yourself! Unless I hate you, of course.

Kirmund: You don't even have an abort function set up! Nor any type of emergency escape equipment at all!!!

Me: I'll get an abort function, along with an RCS system, set up once you can drop this orange fuel tank off in orbit and return safely.

Alory: We'll die before then! Probably by disintegration or by crashing!

Me: Look, once the fuel is draining properly, you'll be fine.

Neltop: You never even told us it wasn't!!!

Me: What do you think all the aborted launches were because of? Possibility of sudden disintegration?

All 3 Kerbals: Yes!

Me: Look, it's a couple minutes to launch. Get in your orbiter, Now!

All 3 kerbals: No!!!

Me: Don't make me get out the cattle prods!

All 3 kerbals: Fine, we'll go.

Me: As I thought.

(I'll provide an update later)

Obfin: is the lander ready yet?

Me: no

Obfin: but its been five years and i've heard you already made several Mun landers and a Munar Station?

Me: so what, you know i'm busy with having to make these things...

Obfin: but you already have a tug and can make a lander relatively easily

Me: so what i have problems including this asteroid i have to capture and tow into orbit

Obfin: but....but.... uh i will just go sleep

Finally in Eloo orbit...

Jeb: Erm...

Jeb: I seem to have a problem...

Me: What's wrong now?

Jeb: I've eaten all the snacks.

Me: You've only been there for two days.

Jeb: So?

Me: You were supposed to have enough snacks to last for years!

Jeb: I was hungry.

Me: *sigh* Alright, I will send some more.

Jeb: Are they nearly here yet?

Me: What? I've not even launched the rocket yet!

Jeb: Oh.

One Week Later...
