I'd like to second the "practicality" angle; I couldn't muster enough fuel and thrust to get a 2-module space station (two Hitchhiker modules) into orbit without the rockets blowing apart from instability. But the single-module guy is cruising along just fine right now.

Rocket science: Apparently it's hard. Who knew?
