What your Kerbin parking orbit says about you
71 km: You value efficiency more than anything. You have played KSP since the earliest versions (and were annoyed when the atmosphere limit was raised from 34.5 km to 69 km, and then again to 70 km) and have done really complex missions, and to do a Grand Tour of everything in the Kerbol system is your ultimate aspiration (or maybe you’ve already done it?). You also probably achieved the given orbit with an SSTO and MechJeb.
80 km: While you’re trying for efficiency, your reasons for picking this number are very similar to those of 100 km.
100 km: You like 100 km, as it is a nice round number. You also like that in KSP, all the planet radii are given in exact numbers in kilometers (such as Kerbin’s being 600 km). More likely than not, when you perform a gravity turn, you also turn exactly 45 degrees at 10 km, and were outraged when the atmospheric changes made this sort of gravity turn inefficient.
121 km: The 50x time warp limitation at 120 km annoys you.
601 km: Any sort of time warp limitation annoys you.
2,863 km (KEO): You’re playing KSP heavily modded, including but not limited to TAC Life Support, FAR, RemoteTech, Kerbal Construction Time and a couple of visual mods. God, can’t Squad just make these mods stock already?
Elliptical 71 km x 251 km: You’re playing science/career mode and are really just looking forward to mining all the science from Kerbin right now.
Any other elliptical orbit (including “orbits” with periapsis below 70 km): You’re still a beginner in KSP, still confused by the multitude of concepts you have to wrap your head around.
You haven’t reached Kerbin orbit yet: Either you’re completely new to KSP, or you gave up trying to reach orbit early on and are now focusing on projects that do not have to do anything with space (e.g. submarines, airplanes, ground-based vehicles). Eventually, KSP will stop meaning “Kerbal Space Program”, right?
