Uses

A very good tool for extending and retracting parts, for example, fitting a craft into a fairing that usually doesn't fit. This part can also be overclocked by a KAL-1000 controller, which leads to some chaotic results. It is also good for extending out solar panel arrays and space station parts in orbit. Too many might cause Kraken attacks.

Product description

A large telescoping piston. Capable of enormous feats of stretchiness. Rocket engines are still recommended for attempting to reach orbit, however.
