The story of rocket design engineer Alexei Romanov about his journey from Earth to another planet into the Kerbal civilization. Kerbals choose a profession based on the extent to which each of them is characterized by dementia and courage. Since a fairly high level of dementia is considered acceptable for a Kerbal designer, Kerbal missiles crash shortly after takeoff, but the engineers are not bothered by this. On Earth, Alexey’s projects remained at the level of drawings, but on the planet of the Kerbals a completely different fate awaits him.
