Overly large rocket

I think that this rocket is unnecessarily large for launching just a small satellite. Take a look at Tutorial: Sputnik 1. This tiny rocket is able to brings a satellite into low kerbin orbit. You might need a bit more when you want geostationary orbit, but definitely not a rocket as large as described in this article. --Crush (talk) 06:19, 12 June 2013 (CDT)

RCS for a satellite?

What does a satellite need RCS for? The probe command pods have enough rotation torque for turning the satellite, and you also have a liquid fuel engine on board for orbital corrections. --Crush (talk) 06:19, 12 June 2013 (CDT)
