    If my KSP rockets are anything to go by, “staging” is when you hit the spacebar and everything goes off at once because you forgot to put things in separate stages.

    Damn, all the conspiracy comes from some dude misunderstanding “staged rockets to the moon”.

      I think the only SSTO we had by the 1960’s was a very unfortunate manhole cover.

          more than likely, but I like to think it’s out there somewhere, just waiting for the chance to decimate Melon’s Tesla roadster.

              Lol, thanks for checking. I’m great, all things considered. But there’s a LOT to consider nowadays.

                Glad to hear that. And, I feel you. And I don’t even live in America.

    I’m willing to believe it actually happened, but that Stanley Kubrick made what everyone watched on TV. I think they filmed it in case the astronauts died, and just ended up using it instead.
