gollark: Wait, pointed them at the same vessel? How does that work?!
gollark: No fiddling with retracting and deploying them, less friction, it's great.
gollark: I think they're good replacements for plane landing gear too.
gollark: Those were fun. I made a hybrid boatplane with the repulsors.
gollark: The KSP way would probably just be to shove a bunch of ablative low-mass plates in front of the payload.
