Thinking about smooth, featureless faces--as an empowering thing, not a controlling thing.

Why Do Some People Type Like This

The highest-performing rocket engine ever tested burned molten lithium with cyrogenic fluorine, plus added hydrogen for some light reaction mass.

This has never been developed for actual flight, in significant part because it's terrifying.

I think the Delta IV Heavy wins some points for "Extremely Kerbal engineering" because they made the rocket bigger by taping two extra copies of the bottom stage to the sides.
