gollark: Vacuumulator or annihilation plane and weirdness.
gollark: I actually just used the AR one. Which isn't very cost-effective, but still.
gollark: Bipropellant things are convenient because all you need is an electrolyzer to make fuel.
gollark: I switched to bipropellant engines rather fast so I could shut down the ridiculous and annoying rocket fuel making operation I had going.
gollark: The quest gives you a bunch of rocket parts as well as raw titanium, which is nice of it.
