You are tasked with a part testing contract from Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spacecraft Parts Company. The part being tested is their art-of-the-state Bone Remover 3000 radial attachment science pod. The required test volunteers will be provided (and paid $60) by the aforementioned company via an exciting new recruitment policy and stringent waiver system. Thefurtheruseofspacesisprohibited.

You encounter a non-sulfuric optical illusion. Cirno is embarassed by your poor math skills.

I've heard of Tunbridge Wells but not of tuns

"tun: a large beer or wine cask; an imperial measure of capacity, equal to 4 hogsheads" - I see
<Eddi|zuHause>
i've heard of tuna
<Eddi|zuHause>
but i think the original question was meant for the object itself, not the unit
<packbart>
I wouldn't want to specify fuel requirements in hogsheads, I guess

(but maybe cabine volume)

The rod is the backbone of the upper stage, but I could shorten it.

my general impression is that less parts is better (like one big tank instead of multiple small ones)

Inspired by the spinny disk thing used in reaction wheels and turbopumps, Wernher invents the "translation wheel". It's an ingenious device to travel on the surface without exploding so often! Some baffles added to your O'Neill cylinder prevent the unwanted hurricanes.
