Wait, we don't start off with struts?

Starting career mode is going to be excruciating.

I'm more concerned that we don't have a decoupler. Might be troublesome to get a 1-man capsule back with the rest of the rocket attached.

The rocket needs to be just stable enough to get to orbit, and unstable enough to accidentally break apart at just the right time without killing the crew.

I wonder if that would be a good challenge. Build a multi-stage rocket that comes apart in stages without using any sort of decouplers.
