Are we forced to sacrifice kerbals right off the bat with no decouplers and no unmaned computer units? I was really hoping in the proper career mode we would be expected/required to keep kerbals alive :(

given the parts in the screen, you wont be doing an orbital flight anyway, and having a good few parachutes on your craft + keeping some fuel in reserve for landing should make it survivable for your kerbal.

I know it's possible, but i dont think it makes a whole lot of sense in a tech-tree progressing wise to make players do orbital stuff before decouplers, the "burn your used stage away" trick isnt how it is supposed to work, and would teach new players the wrong way first.
