Deaths
gollark: Also, I could never work out how to supply reasonable quantities of oxygen to space stations.
gollark: Anyway, AR is too multiblocky, the vast amount of planets aren't very interesting, I don't actually care about designing a custom rocket, and having to research planets or something is annoying.
